    Out server didn’t even know we were there. Another server finally took our order after we flagged her down to order drinks. Long wait for food which was bland at best Lame draft beer selection.

    Service was very slow, think they might have been short-staffed. Food was superb which made up for the service.

    This place has great food and consistent. Owner greets you at the bar walks around the tables to see if everything is well staff is attentive and courteous. One of the favorites. Simply do not get this type of experience at rwstaura ts anymore.

    Service and food were excellent this evening. Quieter night than expected as they didn't have a large dinner crowd.

    Always check out the specials first…. Tambascio’s does delicious seafood dishes. I especially like the salmon on lightly sautéed spinach and garlic. The steak is of extremely good quality and cooked just as you’d like it. Comfortable atmosphere in this small gem and very nice in the atrium. Small salad to go with entree is a nice addition to menu choices. Staff is wonderful. Great to see John and have enlightened conversation. A friendly location we like to frequent.

    We go to Tambascios often, The food and service is always excellent. It is a terrific family restaurant! The owner John always stops by to say hello and see if everything is satisfactory. For the value and the food and the service, you can't find a nicer place to dine at.
