                                                        It was my first time to Tana. It’s was as good as advertised. Jason was excellent and the food was tasty and delicious. A very pretty restaurant but casual enough to not have to over dress. My only request is that they add a few more pasta recipes. 4 isn’t enough in my opinion. I will definitely go back.

                                                        Very smart, contemporary style dining and bar space. Porchetta entree was excellent, other guest entrees very good. Pasta cart takes up too much space and impinges on tables not participating. Cocktails excellent quality. Seems a little understaffed for first class restaurant.

                                                        Great experience…the service was top tier! Our waiter Raúl was very knowledgeable and attentive. It was my friend’s birthday! He’s made sure to acknowledge her birthday and even placed candles in our dessert!

                                                        Our experience was incredible. I discovered this restaurant on TikTok and knew I had to check it out. I brought my boyfriend here to celebrate his birthday. They offer complimentary valet parking, and reservations are strongly recommended, which we had made. We even received a text notifying us that our table was ready an hour before our scheduled time. The interior is stunning, and our server was exceptional. We sampled a variety of dishes and were pleased with everything. The only two minor downsides were the noise level, which made it hard for us to hear each other, and the fee for bringing in an outside cake, which is noted on their website. Despite that, we would definitely return.

                                                        Beautiful restaurant! Excellent service! Nice touch with illuminated menus! Food portion small- not what we expected. We ordered the pasta cart with crab meat. We were told the serving size was 2-4. The order arrived on 1 regular dinner plate, which barely had 2 small servings( more like appetizer servings)! I thought they would bring out another plate but I was wrong. The side of Zucchini was delicious! Peach dessert was ok.
