Food: Creative, yet inconsistent
Tannins seems to be a restaurant of contrasts, as their review reflect. Its chef's creative flair and diverse menu are lauded, with dishes that demonstrate culinary artistry. The portions are generous, which customers appreciate. However, the taste and value have both been marked as 'neutral' with quality and service showing inconsistency. A negative marker on freshness is concerning, with accounts of dishes seeming 'washed out'.
Large Portions
Portions are often described as perfect, generous, and more than sufficient.
Okay Value
Portions good-sized, prices reasonable, but food and service quality varied.
Low Quality
Dishes lacked flavor, seemed washed out, one-note, lacking depth.

Vibe: Clamorously cramped
In terms of vibe, Tannins unfortunately falls short. It's a noisy space that lacks cleanliness, making it cramped and disruptive to the overall ambiance. This does not bode well for date nights, as patrons have remarked on the lack of privacy and comfort. Despite these drawbacks, the restaurant has an impressive wine selection that wine aficionados may appreciate.

Okay to Entertain
Good service with okay music, security, and bad decoration mentioned.
Bad Ambiance
Ambiance disrupted by noise, cramped space, and lack of cleanliness.
Perks: Noisy, yet accommodating
Perks at Tannins are equally mixed. Parking is a nightmare, and the noise level obstructs proper conversation. Reservations are not handled well, with delays and undesirable tables despite advanced booking. The outdoor area, while being pet friendly, is disrupted by the neighboring car wash. However, the restaurant accommodates large groups well and their menu caters to various dietary requirements.
Great For Groups

Okay Service
Service varies; at times excellent, at other times slow and inattentive.
Bad Outdoor
Patio feels cramped, noisy car wash detracts from dining experience.
