From the Restaurant
Tamarine is a contemporary Vietnamese restaurant that features the light but flavor-intensive culinary delicacies of Vietnam. The restaurant offers a menu based on small plates, promoting the Vietnamese tradition of the 'shared' meal in which food is shared and enjoyed with those close. Tamarine's small plate entrees are enjoyed with the pairing of a variety of aromatic, flavor infused rice, designed to be mixed and matched to create a truly unique flavor experience. Along with culinary delicacies of Vietnam, the restaurant showcases the works of emerging artists from Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries. Semi-annual exhibits will close with a cocktail event to auction the art. Proceeds will be donated to La Maison Chance, an orphanage in Saigon, Vietnam.

Fancy Vietnamese is tasty
I’ve never been to a vietnamese place as fancy as this one so I didn’t know what to expect but I was definitely pleased. The decor felt very modern with solid darker colors making it feel very warm inside. The service was extremely attentive and friendly. The wait staff was actually somewhat chatty which some people might like more than others. Seems like a great places for a date or a business meeting.

Power Lunch
The Power Lunch is a good deal since it comes with an appetizer and an entree. I got the Bun Cha and the Papaya Salad
-
Bun Cha
Beef with noodles served with a very strong sauce. Tasted good, but not as filling as I would have hoped.
-
Papaya Salad
Pretty refreshing shredded salad. It’s served with the dried beef which was a bit odd, but did add alot of flavor.
-
Kumquat Chicken
Really tender and tasty chicken and pretty good portion of it too. I recommend this one.

Tamarine is the awesome. love the shaking beef and cod and just about everything else. how do i rate this restaurant?
Tamarine - try everything!
I’ve had 4 or 5 great meals here, and the latest was another great dinner. A big birthday party allowed the whole table to try 10 or 11 different dishes, including several appetizers and even more entrees. Although the plates are small, the execution is nearly impeccable.
Common dishes like shaking beef and claypot cod are among the best preparations I’ve had. More fusion-y dishes like the sea bass and lamb chops are equally successful and delicious.
The way to go is to split a lot of dishes, and don’t feel too guilty about the prices.
