Excellent original culinary experience. Beautiful, delicious recipes were memorable—baked oysters, sweet, tangy sauce with a little toasty bite of bread crumbs; the greens and croutons in the Caesar salad were fantastic—like no other area restaurant; the seafood ravioli, the sauce the pasta were so fresh and flavorful; both the cardamom cheesecake and the Bombolo chocolate mousse pie w hazelnut crumbs were light, smooth and creamy and the hot fresh French press coffee added aroma and a perfect ending. We splurged tonight including sharing in a rich bottle of Bordeaux wine. Likely one of our finest, most festive meals for a long time. Merci Mille fois, Bombolo chefs and excellent service team! Fabulous date night!

We've been to Tandem many times and always enjoyed our meals there. This time, we had three old favorites: the deviled eggs, the Caesar salad, and the short rib. We also tried the daily catch, which was sea bass with a truffle butter. It was excellent. We will return.

Great Valentines dinner. Started a little bumpy with the seating, but the host and staff were very helpful and resolved the issue very quickly on a very busy night. Sea Bass was amazing, and the service was great!

First time dining…met friends…parking is always a bit difficult on Franklin Street…plan on arriving earlier than reservation Staff was friendly accommodating (requested a quiet table hit one in the far corner) and sever efficient and patiently explained menu items (although it seemed short staff and it was a Saturday night everything arrived at the same time and waitress was sure to check on us) Food was delicious…and portions ample…definitely a place to go with friends or another couple…well worth a visit

The modern decor was eye catching. Right down to the place settings and serving dishes. I normally do not right reviews but it was amazing. The food was so flavorful and filling. We left with leftovers. Even the dishes to take home were nice. We will be back. Our new favorite Indian restaurant for sure!
