Absolutely wonderful ambience on the corner, it was talkative and atmospheric without being too loud. Everything we ordered was perfect. The best evening I’ve had out in a long time.

My daughter and I had reservations for 2100 Thursday night and from the time we walked in to when we left the entire experience was amazing. We were anxious to try the Tapear Tapearei menu and had an incredible dining experience. Every dish was delicious and beautifully plated from start to finish. Since neither of us are big alcohol drinkers we were allowed to split the wine flight pairings without having too much but could experience the flavor pairings which enhanced the experience. An extra star for our servers Stacy and a man that sadly I didn't catch his name. The explanation of the dishes and the anecdotes about the dishes was an added enhancement. Highly recommended.

Very interesting menu, most of it tasted excellent but was a bit pricy. Portions are all the smaller side, great for tapas style eating with a small group. Was a bit on the noisy side.
