I have enjoyed the many Patina Brand restaurants I have visited in LA, OC, and NY. As a result I was looking forward to dining at Tangata when we visited the Bowers Museum. I tried to make a reservation, but was unable to get a good time, so we decided to walk in. The Maitre D said it would be 15 minutes for a table, so we wander around the gift shop while we wait. Not an unreasonable wait because they were busy, even though there were lots of empty tables. We were seated approximately 20 minutes later.

Excellent chicken sandwich on Ciabatta with Avocado. My friend asked for an off menu coffee drink and they were happy to oblige. The greens from the salad were fresh and tasty. Service was excellent!

We were so disappointed in our lunch at Tangata today. We have eaten at Tangata before COVID and loved it. The service today was very friendly but the food was terrible. I strongly suggest you eat BEFORE going to the Bowers Museum and avoid Tangata.

After spending the morning and early afternoon looking at the exhibits in the Bower’s museum, we decided to try the restaurant. What a treat. There is a slightly limited menu with a current special lobster addition to their normal selections. We did not see any soft drinks (soda) so my husband joined me with a berry ice tea. Very good….

We were staying at the Westin next door and looked for a good restaurant. I was in the mood for a great steak and so based on reviews came here. My wife and I had prawn appetizer, very good, 4 large ones. My wife had a Wedge salad that was closer to half a lettuce head and I had a Caesar with plenty of anchovies. We both had a New York Strip, bone on with gorganzola cheese on top and mushroom sauce, we were delighted.

Food at its finest! I was very delighted with the food. I had a New York Strip and it was very yummy! Along with its Gorgonzola cheese on top! I love their menu, it was a bit limited yet you have plenty of choices. Nice staff too.
