What's Changed at Tabla? – What?s up??? We have been a good customer of Tabla , and have enjoyed the food and atmosphere since it opened in 2003. We were patrons in July of this year and the experience was fabulous. But after picking Tabla to be the place of our anniversary dinner the other night, we were shocked, dismayed and thoroughly disappointed. The menu was average, the staff slow, the electricity and energy from this place was gone. What changed since July??????? We really don?t know if we will return.
We will absolutely return, many times I'm sure! – Right after Tabla opened a friend described it as grossly over-priced with miniscule portions. Years later, after much prodding from the significant other, I finally went. How silly of me to take a review to heart right after the restaurant opened! As a result I?ve been missing out on the joy that is Tabla for years! Let me start off by saying that while the service was charming and fine, they clearly aren?t focusing on dropping appropriate silverware prior to delivering the ... read more
Cozy atmosphere, good menu and wine – We went about 7:30 on a Saturday night and were only able to get seating at the bar. Instead of doing the $29 price fixe we opted to share a few different dishes and enjoyed the appetizers, pasta dishes, and chocolate dessert. The bartender was very good at describing the food and wine dishes and despite her need to hustle on a busy night noticed she gave thoughtful attention to each of her customers. Impressed with the food and service -- we'll go back.
Want to squander your paycheck and leave wishing you'd gone somewhere else? – Although the restaurant has the potential to be pretty great, the chefs seem to have made it their mission to take quality ingredients and mix them in strange combinations that, while somewhat tastey, do not live up to their intended purpose (i.e. "fine dining"). Don't get me wrong; had I paid only $30 for my meal, I might not feel so bitter about the experience. Unfortunately, my food alone cost $30. Add to this my incredibly overpriced drinks, an... read more
creme brulee problem – first of all i am a pastry chef and i know about creme brulee it is served cold would you want warm pudding? cause that is what it would be and if you put it in the fridge after you torch it the sugar on top would turn to a liquid and would be goopy... please dont be one of those tightwad retards acting like you know all i dont tell my doctor what hes doing wrong....
Capital 'D' for disappointment – I really like the concept of the three-course meal and three-glass of wine pairing. But that was where my enthusiasm for Tabla ended. While the beets were fantastic, the salad needed just a pinch of salt. However, the folks at Tabla don't put salt and pepper on the table. Perhaps chefs take offense at seeing people through the open kitchen seasoning their food, but they should get over that. And if it is an aesthetic thing, a tiny dish of sea salt is would look nice on the table. My second pl... read more
exquisite food – Wow! Best dinner I've had out in years, well since I lived in a bigger and more food oriented city actually. My friend and I each had three different courses and they were all delicious and beautifully presented. It was a lovely evening at an outside patio table with polite and attentive (but not overbearing or overly cheerful) service.
Great time at Tabla! – My family ate at Tabla to celebrate a birthday for my son 9/8. We had 5 adults in our party, we had reservations and we were seated within 5 min. Each one of us chose a different entree from the prix fixe menu. We found the service to be excellent, having brought 3 bottles of wine with us, the server was kept busy with various paourings and different types of wine glasses. Some of the dishes which we had were the lamb which had a somewhat Indian spice accompaniment, the pork which was succulent , the d... read more
Over-priced, poor service, and SMALL portions – We heard good reviews about Tabla being a cheap, yummy place to eat for a nice night out. After being seated, our waiter didn't offer us any kind of drink and did not tell us the specials. He explained about the half portions (at $13 per entree) verses the "full" portions (at $19 per entree). I decided to get a "full" duck confit entree and my husband chose the "full" scallops entree. The waiter returned with my FULL entree - a single duck wing, a piddling spoonfull of mashed p... read more
