I had a great first experience here!
The setting is intimate and cozy. Dim lights, a small setting, and live acoustic music. Not bad for a drizzly summer Thursday evening!
As someone else stated, Tartine blends in with the Old River area nicely. A little wonderland of tiny classy establishments and string lights.
The menu is small, one page with the front being food and the back being wines. The pizzas and tartines as well as a soup and salad combo will set you back $15/$16 give or take. The entrees hover around $25, and most wines range from $7-$9 a glass.
I got the tomato pizza. I loved that it had yellow heirloom tomatoes on it, although I wish they were sliced better so each piece had a decent portion of them. They had crushed red pepper and the crust was crunchy so I was quite happy. My dinner date had the scallop entree which she liked (although she'd never admit otherwise). Our server was a little awkward and always running around but she was prompt and got the job done. This would be a great date night spot but the lack of reservations places some uncertainty on that. Then again, I think if they took them the only way to get in this place would be calling in weeks ahead! I think the live music really made this place even more charming than it already is.
