Reservations: We walked in at 7pm on a Tuesday without a reservation and there were two other tables already seated. Restaurant started filling up around 730pm, so reservations are probably recommended.Ambiance: Warm and inviting decor, with lovely old Spanish movie posters on the walls, and interesting touches throughout (such as the faux chandelier made of overturned glasses in the entrance).

Ambiance: Warm and inviting decor, with lovely old Spanish movie posters on the walls, and interesting touches throughout (such as the faux chandelier made of overturned glasses in the entrance). Rustic chic.
Service: Very friendly and efficient, without being cloying. While most new establishments usually have to iron out kinks in their service, everything ran surprisingly smoothly. Then again, it wasn't very busy while we were there so the real test would be a busy weekend night or with a large group.
Food: The two of us shared a couple of starters, a steak with sides, and a dessert. Our thoughts on the dishes were pretty unanimous:
- Yellowtail Tuna & Watermelon Ceviche - The tuna could've used a bit more marinating time/seasoning, and while the watermelon was a nice idea, it really did nothing to complement the fish...perhaps b/c the watermelon tasted a bit under ripe.
- Roasted Pumpkin Salad w/ Goat Cheese & Arugula - Another under-performer. The pumpkin was still quite hard despite having been roasted, and lacked the sweetness from the caramelization that usually comes with being seasoned and roasted properly. The goat's cheese was but a mere dab - why so stingy? - and while goat's cheese and arugula is usually a winning combination for me when contrasted with a fresher or sweeter flavor, the two played a lonesome twosome in this dish.
- 12oz Argentinian Sirloin, w/ sides of Roasted Sweet Potatoes w/ Rosemary and Hearth Roasted Onion w/ Balsamic Vinegar - Presentation of the steak itself was rather impressive. The meat is front and centre of a long serving dish, still sizzling as it arrives, surrounded by 6 different accompanying sauces (I particularly enjoyed the salsa and chimichurri). The sirloin was beautifully charred on the outside, and slightly overcooked on the inside (we'd ordered it Medium Rare, but it showed up more Medium). Perhaps it was a leaner cut of sirloin than I normally prefer, or perhaps it was too thick a slab, but the meat really wasn't as tender as I'd hoped and required quite a bit of chewing. The sweet potatoes were simple but very tasty, as was the roasted whole onion with the drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
- Dulche de Leche Flan - This was a definite winner! A slice of flan, with a scoop of fresh cream and dulce de leche (milk caramel)...absolutely to die for. It was a lovely way to round out a very underwhelming dinner.
Overall, I would give Tango a second shot, if only to try either a different cut of steak, or a different main...and also for that flan, of course.
