    Very good oysters on the half shell. The salmon was delicious as always, and the presentation on the ribeye was exceptional. Service very professional and personable.

    Great food but terrible service. Host left us sitting at the bar after asking our name 3 times! Our salads arrived to the table 10 minutes apart. Our bill was "announced" while my husband still finishing his meal and required immediate payment. A terrible experience and we will not be returning.

    We dined here on Christmas Eve. It was busy, but we had a reservation and were seated right away. I had dined here before, but my mom, husband, and 8-year-old had not. First - our server was attentive, patient, friendly - all the good things. Second, the food came out quickly and was wonderful! We enjoyed all small plates, of which my favorite has always been the beets and brussels salad. My 8-year-old loves mussels and scarfed them up - she was very reluctant to share! :) They do have a kids menu, though, and she got the chicken tenders as a kid often will. Also yummy. I love that this place is light and spacious... yes, there are lots of tables and it's a bit noisy, but that just means it's a popular restaurant. I highly recommend this place for any occasion.

    Excellent dinner at Tandem. The menu was expansive (and vegetarian/vegan friendly); the portions were good for the price; the service was quick and friendly; the ambience was great. All around good experience.

    Extremely noisy lunchtime crowd. Every table full. Quite an attentive waiter. Ordered hot root vegetable soup and sandwich. Soup was tasty, but served lukewarm warm. Cheese sandwich was also tasty, but the thick sliced brioche bread overwhelmed the cheese.

    The service was impeccable from the moment we walked in the door. The menu was extensive, particularly the choices for appetizers and small plates. We had four appetizers and dessert. The salmon and lamb we had were perfectly prepared and served. The cheesecake was divine. All in all, a perfect evening.

    The food here is always reliably good and was on my visit. Beet and Brussels salad with goat cheese was delicious. The salmon I ordered with it (add protein) was good but it was not served as a cohesive dish. I expected it to be served on top of the salad vs on a separate plate and with more seasoning. Service was attentive. I’ll. Be back.
