Comments on: Tango, Bryn Mawr http://mainlinedine.com/rest/tango-bryn-mawr.html Finally, a restaurant guide for Philadelphia's Main Line and suburbs Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:26:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Valerie http://mainlinedine.com/rest/tango-bryn-mawr.html#comment-64956 Valerie Sun, 29 Aug 2010 03:16:59 +0000 http://mainlinedine.com/?p=825#comment-64956 Decent food with questionable service. We went to Tango for a late night dinner so overall we wanted lighter fare. I got a warm frisee salad with grilled salmon that had pancetta, gorgonzola and potatoes on it and it was lightly dressed to perfection. All of the flavors of the salad were very good together, though the salmon was a bit overcooked. My husband ordered a salad of arugula, golden raisins, candied walnuts and duck, which was also lightly dressed. He also found his salad to be very good. One thing I did not like was the bread, it tasted as though there was no salt in the dough and sort of stale. For dessert we got 1 scoop of chocolate raspberry ice cream which was absolutely delicious, and 1 creme brulee, which was disappointing as the top was sticky and all stuck together and not the top you have to crack through that I've come to love and expect from creme brulee. The weirdest part of the experience was that we had no idea who our server was. The person we thought was a bus boy came to take our drink order, we were asked by another woman if someone else had taken our food order yet (no one had), someone else brought the food, then the person who took the food order came by surprised we had food already, another bus boy cleared our plates, and the first person we had thought was the bus boy came out with our check when we then requested to see the dessert menu first...then a totally different person brought the desserts and a different person finally brought our check. This confusion left us needing to ask to have our water glasses refilled twice as I guess no one was 'responsible' for us. I suppose we got to meet all the staff! Overall I'd say the pretty good experience with our salads and the wonderful ice cream leave us wanting to possibly try it again on an evening when we are hungrier.
