First time at Tambour even though I lived in the neighborhood for years - went on a Friday night at 6:30 pm reservation for dinner and live Jazz. Band was great and the volume was perfect even though we were sitting near the band. Food was good (Branzino and Brussel sprouts) Prices average- We split an entree and app w 2 glasses of wine each - a bit under 120 bucks w tip plus left a donation for the band. A good time overall.
Great vibe and awesome live music. The burger is incredible! Service is top notch.
My friends and I wanted to try out some place new during my visit to New York. I chose Tambour based on reviews from another review website. I hope that I can spread the word about them via TripAdvisor. We arrived early for our 6 pm reservation, which was a good thing. The restaurant was empty on a Sunday evening. I knew that live music would be happening soon. We were able to enjoy part of our meal before it started. Don’t get me wrong, I really like live music, but I also enjoy being able to have a conversation over dinner. The restaurant is fairly small so the music volume is high. The food: We had the fish, the short rib, and the chicken. Each of us enjoyed our entrees. I also had the Brussels Sprouts appetizer. It was fantastic. I’m glad I didn’t really need to share it with my friend. We enjoyed a delightful bottle of wine. We also had the two desserts on the menu: the cheesecake and the brownie. Both were outstanding. The best part of the brownie is that it is on a bed of peanut butter. This flavor combination means that the chocolate doesn’t become overpowering or too sweet. I am leaving one star off because there wasn’t any coffee available! What the heck??? How can you offer delicious desserts and NOT have any type of coffee? Come on now! Get a Keurig if you don’t feel like brewing actual coffee. I will return at some point in the future, but hopefully there will be coffee available by then.
Tambour exceeded our expectations. I made reservations for to celebrate a friend birthday and it was the best surprise ever. The bar manager was fantastic, she made us feel special and at the same time welcomed. We could not have asked for a better time. The musical guests were amazing, they even included in their performance happy birthday and isn't she lovely by Stevie Wonder to my friend. I can go on and on on what a phenomenal experience it was but you get the drift. Tambour was really an amazing experience that has to be relived.
My husband and I visited tonight for the first time and we absolutely loved this gem of a restaurant. The jazz music was so excellent and all the players were beyond talented and so fun. Jess kept our wine glasses full and made fantastic recommendations making sure we had the right drinks. And I got to meet Nick, one of the owners and he was so friendly and welcoming! We will absolutely be back! What an incredible place to have in the neighborhood! Also don't miss the cheesecake, it was soo good!
First time visiting Tambour - absolutely loved it. Small, intimate restaurant and bar. Great wine list and service. But most importantly - phenomenal jazz! All of the musicians we saw were incredibly talented. As a local to Park Slope….really thankful this place exists. Much closer to home than my usual jazz spots in the Village.
Amazing people running the place from the owner to the server, love the music and the community feels. Enjoyed my food too and beers! Highly talented folks playing jazz which went on for hours, so grateful to have enjoyed their music. I am glad i discovered this jazz bar in the neighborhood and I hope they will be here for long ☺️❤️
A place that features only professional jazz musicians, the ones that actually have been actively playing with world known people. Nick, the owner, is also one of the elite drummers, so of course he knows who he allows to play there. This place is an incredible and rare find in NYC. Highly recommended.
This is a great spot. Music is amazing, the vibe is intimate with a neighborhood feel, and the wine and cheesecake are excellent. I'll give the food a try next time, because the brussel sprouts smelled amazing. The sommelier and owner were very friendly as well
Our bartender took exquisite care of me and my family. My family was visiting from out of town and this was the perfect place to take them for a special dinner in the neighborhood. The food was delicious and the live music was very fun! I will definitely be back :)

An amazing neighborhood place with live jazz and blues music. Food is exceptionally good. Best place in town to just sit, eat, drink and listen to quality music.
Stumbled upon this place with a friend and was so surprised! Great service, great food, great vibes. Awesome live music. Staff was so friendly. Brussels sprouts was delicious. Great wine menu and recommendations. Highly recommend!
Food was great. A nice selection on the menu. Restaurant was immaculate. Wine was delicious. When the music began it was too loud to continue our conversation. But it's a nice experience and wonderful service.
The Live music is wonderful, atmosphere and service are great. Menu is for an acquired palate that's all I'm going to say(lol), however there are a couple of items that everyone can easily enjoy. If you get the Mussels ask for the Hot Sauce! It makes them everything!!
Tambour is a destination for food and jazz lovers! The ambience is relaxed yet elegant. The jazz is of the highest level with many famous jazz cats on the roster on a regular basis. The food is delicious with fresh ingredients. We had the hangar steak which was cooked perfectly. The chicken was juicy and the burger yummy. Baby Kale salad was great as was the broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Come to Tambour! It's a winner!
