We are local business owners and have been enjoying Tamarind on special occasions, for many years now. The last couple of visits, we feel the restaurant has slipped down on our rat

The only downfall was we arrived at 9:00 for the degustation and were too late for it. We ordered all the entrees instead and loved it though. Such a great restaurant :)
