    Very good. We hadn’t been back for awhile but we’re excited to try some of the new menu items. We each started with the French onion soup which was delicious. My husband had the mussels and I had the lobster roll. Both were great. That and a couple do craft brews and it was a great evening out.

    Amazing creative food! Great service (Sue is awesome). Tangerine adds an automatic 18% gratuity which in our case was definitely justified because our server was great and I even added extra tip but gratuity should be left to the diners’ discretion based on their experiences with the server. Also the hotel have the restaurant validate parking for only two hrs which is inadequate between finding parking, walking in, walking out, finding the car, reaching the exit, and a leisure holiday meal. Should be able to get validation for three hours at least. Otherwise the food is delicious and creative. The salads are absolutely amazing. Our second Christmas there and will be back

    We bought gift cards and they had a promo where you get an extra $25 for every $100. You can only use one promo for every table which was fair. We were a group of 16. They made sure we understood the rules, mostly that it’s 2 hours, 1 bowl, sauce on side, which drinks have refill and which do not. Overall experience was wonderful. Food was fresh and variety was good. If there is a point of improvement, i’d say to post some ideas of what you can do - pasta, stir fry, cheese burger varieties, etc. Because if you mixed the wrong sauces, the end result may be too weird LOL! Not their fault I know. We were there Saturday brunch. Same $26.99 all day, they had decent items for breakfast which ends at 3 pm then it becomes purely all dinner items. I recommend it.
