The Dominican food was excellent, the portions were very good for the price. Yhe environment and decor are veryy cool. The server was very friendly, and took the time with our table without making us feel rushed even though it looked like they had limited staff. Eating outside when the DJ is out can make conversation difficult as the music competes with across the street, but inside it was nice and quiet.

Me and my husband love the food at this place. The atmosphere is amazing and beautiful and to be honest even the staff is great. 2 problems though and that’s whey I gave it a 4 instead of a 51.) we have gone 3 times total. First time great! All food in stocks didn’t have an issue with ordering what we wanted. Second time, was told after we had already ordered the appetizer and the entrees, that the entrees that were ordered where out of stock for the night, not a big deal, but we were told 45 minutes AFTER we got our appetizers. Ended up just getting drinks and appetizers and leaving because the wait was so long between coming to the tablet to tell us what was going on or even just checking up on us. Third time again, wanted a specific menu item, and was told that they were not taking that one today. Which sucks because I didn’t really get what I wanted last time either. Piece of business advice from someone who used to run a business similar to this, reduce the menu, and always have on hand items that are hot items, and ensure to carry 2 to 3 days stock of those products in stock, either wise people are going to come in like we did, see something they like, then be told that what they want is not in stock. Just a recommendation.2.) SLOWSERVICE. Me and my husband went in a 3:15. And did not leave until almost 6:45pm. All we anted to do was sit down eat enjoy very small conversation and leave because we had places to be. The waited was VERY VERY nice and nothing personally wrong with him, I just think y’all either need more attentive staff, or more staff. Because I am not going to like, it does not take me 3 and a half hours to eat a sandwich and a couple fries. 20 minutes before we get drinks, 30 minutes before someone asks if we are ready almost a hour to make the food etc etc.Y’all are a very beautiful place to eat and socialize and I really hope that you just take this as constructive criticism because as far. As when you do have food in stock, and have pretty speedy service y’all are excellent!

We ordered 3 churrasco steaks and one was very fatty. My son mostly spitted out and instead of deducting from the bill they gave me $2 off. Terrible. Absolutely terrible. They also cannot substitute rice and bean for anything else so if you have allergies, you’re screwed.

We we went there for the food drinks and ambience only to find out that the liquor license had expired. Not the same experience and they should have told us before seating. Otherwise the food and wait staff was great as always.

What a gem! From the greeting as you enter to the last drop of post-dinner coffee, Tamarindo delivers on all levels! Order the mofongo con chicharones...you'll be glad you did!

Love the atmosphere and ambience. I had the best experience when the restaurant first opened. Unfortunately the second experience wasn’t as pleasant. The food was lacking in quality and flavor. We ordered the mofongo dish and it was very cold and dry. When asked by our server how did we like the meal? We responded that we weren’t pleased with how the dish tasted or was prepared and we were unable to eat or finish the meal. The server then responded unfortunately we cannot do anything for you… We were completely appalled by this response and couldn’t imagine coming again. I really wanted the same experience as the first time. But was left very disappointed.Vegetarian options: Very small selection of plant based items.

Date night at Tamarindo's was wonderful! Appetizer MOFONGO sliders were very good. We had cocktails too: the manhattan & the tamarindo margarita, delicious! Our main course was steak chimichurri & fried snapper. Both seasoned well and very good. Service was good too

A spectacular place to spend a fun night. Live music, great singers, good food... I really felt like I was in the Dominican Republic. It was an amazing night. The service was excellent, we were served by a guy from Venezuela who was always attentive to our needs. I definitely want to go back and
