    The Cha Gio Tom Cua were excellent. The Bao Buns were very good, and fresh with a touch of spice. The Salmon Wellington was amazing. My husband chose the Saigon Mixed Grill, and found it copious, but very spicy. Our waiter offered to remake the Mixed Grill, saying there were ways to make it less spicy. The ambiance is nice and friendly. The waiter, was attentive and funny, but service was a little slow, due to lack of staff.

    Tandem is a wonderful place to eat. We had the salmon and the brussels/beet salad, and both were delicious. It was quiet, making it easy to talk, and the service was perfect in every way. The parking lot makes it especially convenient. Highly recommended!
