My husband and I are frequent visitors to the Apalach area and were excited to try a new restaurant for breakfast. We ordered the Perico, which is an egg scramble and the Any Style, eggs and toast, both were mediocre. The coffee was hot and good. Our waitress was friendlly and attentive. However, what turned the entire experience negative was upon receipt of the bill we felt violated. We were being charged for coffee refills ($1 per refill) and were not informed of this beforehand-RIDICULOUS!!! Unlike Arnold, we won't be back...
***Penny wise and pound foolish***
I was taken to Tamara's on a date. I had never been there but was assured the food was excellent. It's a quaint little place off of the beaten path with pictures of the coastline and prints of Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night (which is one of my favorites) as well as other well known works of art. The atmosphere is one of casual to formal whichever you desire.
Upon arriving we were greeted with smiling faces and welcomes. They only have one type of tea there, mango. Not your typical iced tea as in most southern restaurants. I have tried a few different flavored teas but I have to say I have never had any as good as the mango tea at Tamara's. After looking at the menu and taking suggestions from my companion I decided to try the Tamara's Paella while he chose the Pecan crusted grouper with jalapeno cream sauce. I have to say I have never had a Paella such as this before. It was full of shrimp, scallops, grouper, chicken, and thin slices of sasuage. I was full halfway through the dish but had to force myself to stop eating it was so good. I tried my companions Pecan crusted grouper and he was right, it was so good. My mouth watered. I know next time I go, that is what I plan to get. For dessert he insisted we try the Torta Tres Leches Cake. While I'm not big on desserts I gave in and we split one. I could have eaten the whole piece. It was so delicious that I am going to make one myself.
If you are ever in the Apalachicola Florida area or even close to it. Go dine at Tamara's, you will be glad that you did.
