Had another wonderful meal at Tamarine last night, I tend to go there every other month. The food is very tasty and the waitress was very friendly. I think they should have slowed down the pace of serving the dishes.

Cocktails always shine here, and our 2 did once again. As always, the food was delicious, with a great new (to us) starter of corn fritters. summer menu had peach/burrata salad which was wonderful, and we had the sea bass.
