Tantalum Restaurant

Had a lovely window seat all the way in the back reserved for my lovely wife and I to celebrate her birthday! This place is really rad. We enjoyed the atmosphere. Servers were very knowledgeable on the menu items and were sure to ask about alleries, which we appreciated! We considered getting the Pad Thai, but since the peanut could not be omitted, we chose to order a few other dishes instead! Two drinks, two apps, and a shared entree was $130, but the food was so amazing and the views were spectacular. Fun place for a fancy date, special night out, or a great place to get drinks. Monday is happy hour all day, but only in the bar area! The spicy tuna tartar, sliders, and Mahi Mahi hit just right! Thanks for hosting our little but great birthday celebration! It was a beautiful sunset and watching the Sealions in the harbor and the People fishing was a fun way to spend the evening. The cucumber cocktail was SOOO good.. hard not to crush that one!

Great food. Go at sunset, suggest inside. Maui mahi split, miso salad, truffle Mac, and passionfruit cheesecake were great (limited time menu for Feb 14). The Japanese rice lager was nice as well. Cool vibe. A little pricey as we got 2 drinks, 3 food items and left $155 tip included. I got the tequila old fashion, wasn’t stoked. Waiter (Dani) was honest, kept an eye on us, and hand good suggestions. Would go back!

Every time I’m in town, this is a must! Our favorites are the calamari and any of the fish dishes. The bartenders are always so wonderful and very attentive. The view is absolutely amazing when you sit at the bar and on occasion, you can see a little seal swimming in the harbor. And they have entertainment that usually starts towards the evening. This place is a must when you visit California

The appetizers were 10/10 - the calamari and Brussels sprouts and sliders! Honestly, that can fill you up and the sauce is really good. I had the short rib and egg which had sausage and potato croquette kind of carbs. Steak was super yummy and not dry at all. Desserts, the chocolate and creme brûlée was not too sweet. Overall, around 11:30am on a Saturday with a reservation, not packed. Not for brunch with a party of 6, they include gratuity. Great service and was well hydrated.

Lovely "Thai" restaurant with awesome marina view. Decided to go there for mother's Day. The restaurant is located in the corner of a large plaza. There's lots of free parking spaces plus underground lot. However, since it was Sunday and mother's day, parking was a challenge. The restaurant has nice ambiance. The hostess welcomed us and offered outside patio seating which has an amazing view. However, unfortunately, there was direct sun and would have been too brutal to sit there for the entire meal. We decided to move to an indoor table. There's a DJ next to the bar playing different mixes of music. It's a bit loud inside but tolerable. We had the brunch menu, which offered lots of yummy choices. Our waiter took our order. But we kept waiting for our food to come out. We asked why the delay. The response was there's managerial issues. Something about someone being let go after 26 years. We waited patiently for TWO HOURS then the our order finally arrived. The waiter was very apologetic but it wasn't his fault. Whoever was in charge should've explained to us the issue. Aside from that, service was great. They gave my mom a one long stem red rose and a greeting card for mother's Day. The food was good but it was too SALTY, IMO. The albacore burger came with a side of fries. It was good but a bit salty. The fries waaay too salty. The Beef and chips is excellent. Perfectly cooked and super tender. The chips are basically potato wedges cooked in duck fats... Super yummy. The Tantalum Benedict is good but nothing special. The Brunch Buddha Rice is good but also nothing special I would consider giving this restaurant another chance. Definitely would instruct the waiter to tell the chef to go easy or no salt.
