The Scene – Dim lights and pale linens provide a properly unobtrusive setting for two works of art: the plates of food and the diners. Those lingering over meals put on their most stylish outfit for a night on the town. Servers are fairly artistic themselves, offering sophistication rather than enthusiasm. – – The Food – Small plates are artfully arranged and accessorized. Seafood tapas are a good way to start--fiery prawns in adobo over watercress are a winning counterpoint to cool tuna carpaccio with citrus salad. Grilled asparagus with top-shelf Spanish anchovies…

loved the tapas!
by carolinej7
everything was SO good. you could eat here and just order tapas and drinks! there were 4 of us and we each chose a tapa to order. i think my favorites were the cheese and proccuto and the fried cheese that you dip in liek a marinara sauce? i don's remember the exact names. we also ordered one of the paellas wich was also verry good. all of the seafood was cooked perfectly. not chewy and not under cooked. it was amazing! the timing was also nice because the paella takes a littel longer to cook, so it was nice to have ordered and shares the 4 tapas and also the sangria. i have never had a sangria made with red wine, i would never even choose to drink red wine but it was SO good. not too intense with the wine taste but also not too fruity.
- Pros: easy to find. amazing food.
- Cons: parking, and it was a little dark in there

Tango is not what it is cracked up to be. We had the tortilla among other things and I tasted a strong mold flavor (we all agreed) I was not sure what it was but I suspected the red peppers inside. It was served with a smoked tomato jam and creme fraiche or something. I complained and they brought me a new one that had the exact same mold flavor which was not too surprising. I didn't think they could fix that. Later had the potato croquettes served with the same sauce and the same moldy flavor. I sent it back. Believe me I do not normally send things back but I expected a good meal....... we were celebrating a birthday and I wanted it to be good. the Ecuadorian Shrimp Cevice was excellent but another dish with Calamares were good but was served with a green "spinach?" pesto with pine nuts that was uninspired and tasted like dirt. We also had olives many of which were good, but some of which tasted like Windo cleaner (my freind and I agreed.) and some were just plain mushy and bad tasting. We also ordered the Fruit de Mar Paella which came after a long expected wair but it was cold and the rice was undercooked (not al dente) but crunchy. It also had a smokey flavor that wasnot intended or good. It was supposed to be a wine, saffron sauce which sounds delicious .... we hardly touched it but then the server insisted we take it home. There were a few good items but overall it was a big dissappointment and to top it all off the chef came out and told me he had just made his tomato jam yesterday so that it couldn't be bad..... well it was. I suspect he is not the same chef who gave this place its reputation .... but he accused me of not understanding the smoked flavor. Well I can taste the difference between smoke and mold! He apparently can't taste. I eat out often enough and it really unusual for me to send anthing back but I only sent the moldy things back. Go try Lark or Licorice for a really good dinner.
- Pros: nice location good staff
- Cons: bad food

A wonerful experience!!
by expressfun
My second time here, and even better than the first visit. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. It was one of the best experiences I have had in a very long time. I dine out often, and everything was wonderful.
- Pros: Small plates
- Cons: Parking
The Details on Tango
What to Drink:
Spanish, Portuguese and Chilean wines comprise the list, but the top-shelf tequilas are the true draw.
On the Menu:
For a sinfully indulgent dessert, try the Diablo, a chocolate cake laced with chili powder.
