Eclectic menu with numerous choices for the palate. The tasting menu is a good safe bet but is fixed and may not be suitable for folks with reservations about red meat or shell fish etc. The service was superb and the cocktails are worth the visit.

I have been to the Tanta in Chile and love it! This location had good ambiance. We had some delays in our food and got the entree before our appetizers. The lomo saltado is normally my favorite and was good but one of the pieces was pure fat. We also got the pulpo which was good flavor but not warm enough. The ceviche clasico was delicious !

We did the tasting menu... which we didn't love like we love the rest of the menu. Definitely much better items in the general menu. The cake was great! Birthday guests loved that with the instagram photo prop. It was fun. The table we had was a little weird. Corner booth all the way at the end felt crowded for 5 people.
