What People Are Saying About Tangerine

In Short
In the large dining room, flickering cutout lanterns and dozens of candles cast shadowy patterns onto low leather chairs and marbleized columns. The effect is neither quaint nor elegant but surprisingly impressive nevertheless. Generically labeled as "Mediterranean," the cuisine takes familiar international bases--like gnocchi, ceviche and filet mignon au poivre--then adds a splash of North African flavoring. Portions are meant to be shared. The drink menu is similarly eclectic.

I am a BIG Steven Starr fan. But Tangerine is probably my least favorite. Atmosphere is nice. Just wasn't overly crazy on my dinner. I sampled during restaurant week, which may explain my dissatisfaction

We went here recently and the food was cooked on the outside, but not on the inside. The service was decent, the prices weren't too bad for a fine dining restaurant in the city, however, when both our meals were severely undercooked, it stopped me from being able to recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I came here with my boyfriend and we were both blown away!! We were seated promptly, and the waitstaff/hostesses were very friendly. I am completely shocked by how many poor reviews there are for the food. I thought the meal was incredible. I highly recommend the steak or the salmon. The ambience is very romantic- not really a "family" restaurant. I can't wait to go back here!!
