| - Boy and I went to Tamari on a Friday evening. We had a late reservation (around nine), and we were asked to wait for our table for about ten minutes because the restaurant was a bit crowded. The hosts were extremely friendly and gracious, and while we were standing, they got us drinks from the bar.
Tamari has an ample selection of drinks, with interesting cocktails and decent choices of wine and beer.
I was impressed at the innovative tapas combinations. For the first time in my entire life, I wasn't that hungry. So I only had the appetite to try two tapas; the lamb lollipop and the red snapper. The lamb was very tender and tasty. I really loved the red snapper, which came with mussels in a saffron broth. This was so different and very yummy!
My date had the empanadas (which he did not like very much), but was blown away by both the price and the quality of the hangar steak. We thought the $2 price was a joke (or a misprint to mean $20). The steaks (or chicken, bacon and quail egg, or salmon) are small servings, of course. But what they lack in quantity they make up for in quality!
I have not yet tried the sushi, but will be back to do so!
*EDIT* Boy insisted I tell you all that we saw Sam Worthington (from Avatar) there. Boy also states that I should add an extra half-star for Sam's appearance. Sorry. Can't do that!
