Tamara's Café

The food was decent, but the service was really bad. I don't usually write reviews, but the waitress brought us the wrong check initially and ended up charging us for our bill and the wrong bill she gave us. I spoke with the owner on the phone who said he would refund the extra charge but he never did.

Went with friends we don't see too often; so we were looking for good tapas and conversation. When we walked into the tapas section of the restaurant we noticed the guitar player/singer was playing very loud. When our waiter, Chris, approached the table to wait on us I asked him if perhaps the musician could lower the volume. Chris couldn't hear me from less than 3 feet away. When he finally understood that our group would not be able to hold any kind conversation, we were at a standoff. I suspect his solution was for us to just leave as he said he had no control over the volume. After an awkward moment passed he suggested we go to their other restaurant which was next door. I said that would be fine if we could order our tapas, which he agreed to since the kitchen was shared between their two places. Once we got to the other place the evening could not have been better. Great food, great watress and the ambiance was perfect for conversation.

The atmosphere was amazing and the band, Dirty Bird and the Flu was out of this world!

Great place to eat! We were impressed with the quality of the food. We had the lunch special Tabasco fried chicken, buffalo sliders, and a slice of key lime pie. Everything was delicious, I highly recommend checking it out.

New ownership and new kitchen staff are learning the ropes here, but that should not mean I have to pay for a subpar meal. My fish special (which finally came out at least 15 minutes after everyone else's meals) tasted like a cheap fish stick, greasy and little else. Sides were ok (cabbage slaw) to awful (plantain fries). Was charged more for wine than was prices on the menu. I've eaten here twice in the past few years and it was very good, so this visit was really disappointing.

Food was great! The sandwich I ordered was huge! For 2 adults and one child it was only like $30. The atmosphere was nice, super cozy and nice dim lighting. Highly recommend!

Our experience today was disappointing. We waited far too long for our burgers which shouldn’t have taken that long to cook. The place wasn’t crowded (only 3 other tables had people) and yet our wait took forever but not nearly as long as we waited for our check. We ended up having to go to the counter to pay if we wanted to leave sometime today. Our burgers were ok and I’m giving two stars because I did like the potato chips but considering we both got burgers and our check was nearly 30 dollars along with the bad service we won’t be back.

Brought our fresh cstch here. An amazing job of preparing it broiled, fried and blackened! The tomato/caper cream sauce is to die for. So good we came back the next night!

Walked in and was told to seat ourselves. Go to the cushioned booth. Not only was it filthy but on the seat was a huge cockroach. My husband advised the staff and they shrugged. Most disgusting place I’ve been in.

Great place great food. Only down side is Jamie Commander does not play there anymore. I have to go to St joe to hear good music.
