| - Tamari was amazing! The food, drinks, bartending staff, atmosphere were all top-notch! Now, why I only gave it 4 stars vs. 5...the wait to get in!! We were told 2 hours to wait...now I can wait, even with the little bit of patience of I have, but TWO HOURS!! And to add to that, people near us in the bar had been waiting 2.5 hrs and they got there at 5pm (Saturday). Luckily, we were able to eventually snag four seats together at the upstairs lounge and ordered dinner at the bar.
Atmosphere: I love the look...very hip & trendy! Just a tad on the small side but the decor was money! Crowd is sophisticated and mature...meaning if someone accidentally knocked into you, they apologized! I know crazy, right!?!?!?
Drinks: You MUST try the Tamari-tini...it was perfect. My friend got the infused vodka and it was definitely unique...i think it was infused with pepper, and apparently there is a new flavor every month!!
Food: We ordered the Robata Combo...it was really great! The dipping sauces were tasty...well I unforunately couldn't eat the green sauce because it was a tad spicy for me (i'm a total wimp!) We also had the Tamari specialty roll (one of the better rolls i've had in Pittsburgh), Calamari (light and crispy), Lobster MacNChz (big chunks of lobster) and the mushroom salad. Everything was amazing...I would recommend them all. Oh and the bacon and quail egg kabob was awesome!!
Dessert: We had the Green Tea Cake and some chocolate deal that was spicy...the chocolate cake was my least favorite thing we ordered all night. That I wouldn't recommend.
Tamari was very enjoyable, even after having to dine at the bar! I'm hoping that next time I'll be able to get a table before the sun comes up!
