Love all the food here, but have to say, the appetizers really 'took the cake'! The shrimp, the scallops,...

Which, for me, is a bad thing. I have been going for drinks for a while because I love the bar scene. I finally decided to get something to eat and neither my companion nor I wa...

Chill Lounge 11/14/2006

Even if you're strapped for cash and don't want to splurge for dinner here, the lounge area is a great place to hang out for the evening and order some drinks and desserts. The servers are quite attentive for a bar area, so you're never left searching for service. Great date spot more

Tangerine, more like a lemon! 11/11/2006

Small portions for big prices, with an overblown affinity for pearl onions. The overly trained waitstaff could have been wearing promotional buttons for the amount of flair we were forced to endure. It was clear that the food was cooked rather preapred by chefs, poor presentation, bland flavors with nothing spectacular to mention. The only redeeming thing was the triple creme cheese, which was not made in house, and the $20 corking fee to avoid the astronomical wine prices. Stay in the bar and you won't have much to disappoint you. Pros: good lighting Cons: bad over priced food more

amazing atmosphere, excellent salmon and definitely need reservations.... 11/9/2006

The atmosphere here is really great. The ""candle wall"" and dim lighting is excellent to set the mood couples or a great place to go to end the hangover (no bright lights). The salmon was excellent the night I was there and I would deinitely go again and again! Pros: ambience, food Cons: parking in the city more

Bar is hip, food is so so 9/15/2006

I definitely love the bar scene - very trendy. I tried the restaurant and unfortunately did not have the same opinion as to their bar. The food was alright but I definitely expected more from a Starr restaurant. Again, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just not a wow for me. Pros: Ambience, Service Cons: Parking more

Not impressed 7/29/2006

I got the whole fish. It was OK at best, and certainly not worth any $30. My dining companion got some other stuff, none of which was all that special or worth the cost, or, apparently, memorable. The servers were a kind of condescending and not well-informed. There are much better restaurants in Old City; Cuba Libre and Patou being two. Pros: The great Zeppelin song of the same name Cons: Everything else more

Loved it!! 6/25/2006

I have been to tangerine many times for drinks but never for dinner until my boyfriend and I came here early on a Sunday night in May. Since the restaurant was just opening for the evening, the maitre d' asked if we would like to enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail in the lounge. This was an excellent idea as we had a chance to enjoy a drink while sitting in a cozy corner. Notable drink is the Strawberry Blonde which is a made with an italian strawberry liqueur with wild strawberries floating in it. Tangerine is the only restaurant in Pennsylvania which has this liquer so it truly is a Tangerine special. After our cocktails we were seated in the 2nd dining area. We enjoyed excellent service from a well-trained waiter. His food recommendations were right on the money with the halibut being the notable selection. All in all, I would eat here again and will make Tangerine one of our regular dinner locations. Pros: Romantic Ambience, Excellent food Cons: Expensive more

Overall good experience 6/3/2006

Certainly isn't my new favorite, but had a really good experience there. The appetizers are amazing, good ambiance and you have to have a Tangerine to start the night off. Pros: Nice ambiance, Prompt service, Good Food more
