Tantalum Restaurant – Even the Leftovers are Beautiful.
I recently ate at Tantalum Restaurant for dinner and I’ve been kicking myself everyday since. Why? Because I didn’t have my camera to capture all the amazing dishes we experienced. I’m not doing this dish justice, but needed to show something to make myself feel better.
The above is the only leftover — It’s Black Beer Braised Short Rib, with Root Vegetable Hash and Grilled Baby Bok Choy. Otherwise we polished off the rest at the restaurant.
* Petite Slider Trio – Kobe Beef & Maytag Bleu Cheese, Short Rib & Onion Jam, and PorkBelly & Arugula (3 mini specialty burgers)
* Apple & Tofu Fritters with Caramelized Yali Pears, Kaffir Lime Aioli
* Pan Roasted Organic Chicken Breast with Garlic Smash, Summer Beans and Shisito Pan Sauce
* Fried Banana Bread Pudding with Dark Rum Caramel and Tahitian Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
All were impressively presented — Now you know why I’m kicking myself. It’s a great place with unique food. The entrance feels a bit like a pleasant walk down the yellow brick road, which leads to a magnificent Harbor View, and a very cool restaurant and cozy bar areas.
For the Long Beach old timers, it’s located where the former Houlihan’s used to be. It’s a whole new place, although Tantalum’s been open for 3 years. I highly recommend it for style and taste, but it’s not inexpensive. You can learn more and view the menu easily below.
