Two years ago boyfriend and I attended a birthday party at
Tantalum. That girl was really impressed with the looks of this place, a gorgeous exotic restaurant decorated in an Asian/Indian fusion type style. The food was also great, I remember something along the lines of ahi poke and a chow fun dish with beef and various seafood. All dressed up with no place to go recently, we stopped in for dinner.

Well, the place is still beautiful, even more so now with an adorable path leading to the door, a perfect smoking area for you little puff puff nicotine addicts I know. Tantalum also has the most fabulous hang out lounge-like bar with lots of comfy sofas and pillows. Reading more about this place on Yelp, reservations were highly recommended. I have to agree, but we just popped in and skanky
"I lost my hairbrush on purpose" hostess was
SUPER SNOOTY. Although NO PEOPLE were in sight waiting for tables, we were told half an hour. No prob, time to check out the fancy bathroom. That girl loves a nice bathroom, a quiet oasis to reapply lipstick or further your studies in the fine art of girl gossip. Miraculously, twenty minutes later we were seated in a HALF EMPTY restaurant. Annoying.

Thankfully, our waitress was super nice and seemed dropped here from midwest or the equivalent. Then, my worst nightmare came true: total menu makeover. This could have been prevented by my usual pre-dining web surfing, but this was an impromptu visit. Hmmm... can't go wrong with the Kobe Beef Sliders. This were very tasty, but for fifteen dollars I'd like more than twelve fries,
thankyouverymuch. Also, no salt on the table. Do I have no class for thinking that's weird?

Boyfriend chose the wok-fired temple rice (
temple? are we to worship this food?) which comes filled with chicken, linguica and shrimp. He seemed to enjoy it but I wasn't too impressed. I don't want to completely remove this place from my repetoire, but I think it's really just a good place to have drinks. Oh, and super snooty, get thee to a
Salon Pop. The emo
"rolled out of bed" look ain't workin' for ya, honey. You're dealing with the public.

Oh no you didn't! Oh how I hate the snooty hostess. But honey it's the only "power" she has so brr to that! KOBE BEEF SLIDERS "HELL YEAH" I told Matt about when we went to Burger Bar and how amazing it was. I think I'll make us go there. But this time I'll get the KOBE w/ Carmelized Onions and Bleu Cheese. Man That Girl can eat has good taste in MEN AND BURGER TOPPINGS. Your so hot Sister, Sister.
