   They didn't hold my reservation so we had to wait until they opened up a table; they didn't inform me that it was a buffet only night and I couldn't order off the menu: the hostess projected her problems onto me and my guests, the "server" never showed up at the table except to give us the bill, food was cold and dry, no oner even bothered to explain how the buffet worked, plates were in the middle of the buffet line to add to the confusion, the water for the table came in a bottle and was not poured into our glasses, we were never asked if we would like drinks, had to order them at the bar... shall I go on?

   Hi Laurence, There is no excuse for bad service - my apologies for that experience. We have been calling all guests on a daily basis leaving messages to inform them of Thanksgiving offering - you had made your reservation the day before and we didn't have a chance to call and inform you (we had hundreds of people to contact). The offering is listed on our Facebook site and I know of now restaurant that's open on Thanksgiving and offers the regular menu. Sincerely hope you give us another try, believe your experience is not the norm. Deen

   A hidden gem on the fringe of Portland’s old port, with food that rivals the better known restaurants in town. Tiqa has recently re-opened and on the night we went, it was very quiet- too quiet for a place that serves up such unique and delicious food, and I expect it will be re-discovered soon. Instead of fighting the crowds in the old port, walk a few blocks and enjoy a memorable meal. Cocktails were great as well.

   I had one of the most exciting dinners that I’ve had in years. Recommended by friends, as it recently re-opened. I was fascinated with their online menu; and when I got there, had big decisions to make as to what to order. I could have ordered a dozen items on the menu. Our Server made very good recommendations. Every bite we had was filled with flavour. This restaurant describes itself as Mediterranean – while I would describe it more as middle-eastern. It offers a tight wine list of well-selected wines. The service is well co-ordinated, friendly and polished. I truly look forward to returning the next time I’m in the area.

   We had not been for several years, and the food was just as delicious as always. Unfortunately, they were short-staffed for some reason, and we waited 20 minutes before anyone even came to our table with water. The server was extremely nice and clearly working very hard. She just needed more colleagues.

   Hi Anthony, Appreciate you coming back to TIQA and glad you enjoyed your food - apologies for the delays in service we were short two people and we are working on addressing that. Sincerely, Deen

   Food was quite good and prices were very reasonable but the martinis were tiny for the price and served luke warm. Even after sending them back for the amount and warm temperature the bartender never corrected.

   Hi Stacy, Thanks for the feedback, we will work to fix both issues. Sincerely, Deen

    Tiqa just reopened and it was girls night out so we thought we would give it a try. I selected Tiqa as it had many selections that could please different palates.

    Hi Lucille, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, it's greatly appreciated and we do believe in constant tweaks to improve. One of the biggest challenges we have had in reopening is getting all the social media to recognize we have reopened - as I write there are several that still shows us as closed - but certain we will work through this. We hope to host you again and hope that you recognize the tweaks since then. Sincerely, Deen
