About:Tamarine is a contemporary Vietnamese restaurant that features the light but flavor-intensive culinary delicacies of Vietnam. The restaurant offers a menu based on small plates, promoting the Vietnamese tradition of the 'shared' meal in which food is shared and enjoyed with those close. Tamarine's small plate entrees are enjoyed with the pairing of a variety of aromatic, flavor infused rice, designed to be mixed and matched to create a truly unique flavor experience. Along with culinary delicacies of Vietnam, the restaurant showcases the works of emerging artists from Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries. Semi-annual exhibits will close with a cocktail event to auction the art. Proceeds will be donated to La Maison Chance, an orphanage in Saigon, Vietnam.

    Excellent food and not *too* expensive. We had seared Hokkaido scallops and fantastic shrimp and corn 'pancakes' for appetizers - the latter are particularly recommended. Both of the entrees we had (shaking beef and blackened sea bass) were also delicious. Cocktails were very good too. Service was attentive, friendly but not over-bearing. All in all - highly recommended.

    We have been here several times, both on our own and with out of town guests, and the food is always amazing and delicious. Their wine list is great and the vibe there is nice, especially for a peninsula restaurant! We highly recommend.

    I don't know what is up with the reviewer "anh" but he must have gone somwhere else. Chipped bowls? Low grade beef? No way. This is our favorite restaurant in Palo Alto (I just tried getting a reservation for tonight--a Tuesday--for two and all I could get is 5:45 or 8p. How's that for validation?). Their Shaking Beef is to die for. Their tofu dish and long bean dish are just amazing. Ambiance is great. Perfect for a date or for yakking it up with a local VC.
