   All four us enjoyed our brunch. Service was excellent, food came out in a very timely manner. Cocktails were also great. No complaints! Highly recommend.

   Solid, consistent, made well, great ingredients, great service, and nice ambiance. Never had a bad meal at Tandem. No wacky service fees, just food cost, taxes, and your selected tip amount. Highly recommend!

   We requested a table on the terrace and were shown to a perfect spot. Waitress cheerful and helpful... at first. I think it was all due to understaffing but service deteriorated quickly. Waitress not in sight most of meal. Bread arrived well after main course. On the other hand, food was delicious and perfectly prepared.

   Food was excellent. We had the shrimp and grits special, which was much more than the usual s&g dish and included fish and mussels along with the shrimp, and we had the salmon. The thing that stood out for me was how well the dishes were flavored, with both of them being rich but not overly so with a host of flavors that harmonized really well. No one thing overpowered the other flavors in the dish. We were there during peak dining time and it was very busy and noisy (we're in our 60s so our perception of noise is probably more sensitive than it used to be). It was also challenging to maneuver my partner's wheelchair through the crowd to our table. Aisles are narrow enough to make that difficult, requiring several patrons to get up and move their chairs so we could pass. The menu's main courses leaned fairly heavily toward red meat dishes, but we very much enjoyed the seafood options offered. All in all it was an enjoyable experience with excellently flavored substantial dishes and good service.

   Very friendly and helpful staff. They made a really good Gin and Tonic for my wife. The food was quite good. Was a little more expensive than we would have expected, but that may be more of a sign of the times.

    We took our granddaughter, a doctoral student at UNC, for dinner during our visit from NYC. We ordered appetizers, drinks, and the steak supper for 2. It was not only a great deal, it was generous enough that she had leftovers (a wonderful thing for penny pinching grad students). The short rib - on the bone - was so succulent and the sides delicious. Our waiter was careful to separate anything containing dairy and very attentive. Overall, it was a perfect dinner.
