   Our first time, and what a wonderful experience!! Fabulous ambiance,a great meal of classics, and a very helpful and delightful server. If it weren’t an hour from our house, we’d be here every week. The Tam is a treasure and a great night out.

   In my many visits to the Tam, this is the first time I was a bit disappointed with the food. My Tam cut prime rib arrived cold. When I mentioned this to my server, the plate was taken back to the kitchen immediately. When my medium-rare prime rib returned, the color of the meat had a horrible shade of brown; either it was now well done via microwaving or dunked in a jus. My server again took the plate back to the kitchen and a properly cooked prime rib arrived nice and hot, but the kitchen removed the untouched Yorkshire pudding from my plate. So again, my server was to the rescue with a trip to the kitchen, returning with a Yorkshire pudding. 5 stars to my server, but the kitchen staff needs better oversight and training.

   1st issue was not being able to leave a message on their phone that are party had been reduced from 5 to 4. We’ve been dining at Tam for 45 years, now very disappointed in the menu offerings for brunch, no real brunch items. We should have checked the menu but really thought there would be items like chicken crepes as in the past. Very small Caesar salad for the price… lettuce is “cheap”! Bartender could make neither a Ramos Gin Fizz or a Bellini and prices seemed too expensive. We may go back for pub food, but not for brunch.

    Diner quality meal for $100. I remember when this place was packed and delicious. This evening my stomach still hasn't recovered from a very unfortunate lunch. My wife's sandwich was just ok.
