    Father’s Day dinner was sadly disappointing. We arrived on time for our reservation and were kindly and apologetically told we’d have to wait. No problem, as it was quite busy. We were seated about 15 minutes later. Server was in good spirits and took our order. Twenty minutes later our server came to apologize that the kitchen was backed up and that the food “should” be out shortly. No worries, it happens. About 20 minutes after that, the food arrived. All three dinners were room temperature, and it was obvious they’d been sitting out for quite awhile. Flavor-wise, two of the dishes were in the 3/5. One was 1/5.

    We had hopes for Tandem but very doubtful that we will be back. The service at the bar was good but the food and overall experience was just fair. The food is well overpriced and the dinner service was not good. If I were to return, I would go to the bar and order a drink and an appetizer.

    Another great experience at Tandem. Tyler took excellent care of us, yummy adult beverages, varied menu, delicious food, nice surroundings. Good place for solo dining, meeting friends, or a celebration. We will definitely continue to return.

    Incredible service and Amazing food! Our server knew the menu and provided a thorough description of the menu items. The food was well presented and well prepared. I loved the detail in selection of ingredients and preparation. The flavors of each course of the meal exploded in taste. Truly a WOW Experience!!!

    Noisy, but otherwise great. Food and service both very good. Nice looking place, comfortable, with a good list of wines by the glass.

    When the restaurant is hosting a rehearsal dinner they should close. Otherwise it is way, way too noisy. My friend and I could not hear each other at all. I will never do that again. Plus, $37 for a piece of baked salmon and luke warm cauliflower is to much!! On the other hand the cheese tray featuring Boxcarr Farms cheese was delicious.

    Ambiance, food and service were superb. Sat on patio and whether was perfect so that didn’t hurt. Cheese plate appetizer was excellent. Especially loved the black currant accompaniment. Entrees of Salmon and Lamb shoulder were some of the best meals we have had in a long time. Our server was also great. Attentive and knowledgeable but not bothersome. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.

    2 guests in a group of 4 had tested positive for COVID the morning of the reservation, called early to cancel and was told all 4 would be charged a late cancellation fee. So much for understanding. Recommend finding other restaurants in the area. They just lost 4 repeat customers.
