Tantalum Restaurant in Long Beach

Beautiful atmosphere, good food, even better drinks. The menu options were fair but had something for everyone. Their artichoke appetizer was amazing. It was topped with a creamy shrimp dip. The oysters tasted very clean and fresh! The truffle Mac flavor was on point! For my entree, I tried the Scottish Salmon, which was paired with a watermelon salad 👀. Interesting and very tasty! I tried the blood orange margarita which was decent, BUT the Frose’ !!!

Its a hidden gem! Food, service and atmosphere is so nice. They have a great selection of dishes that are an infusion of seafood Aztec- Mediterranean. Plenty of wines to help pair with your entree.This place is tucked back in behind an office like building and you would never know it was there. Its a great place to be by the ocean while your enjoy each other company. A fabulous place for a date night.

Amazing and delicious food! Best calamari ever! Loved the atmosphere and music. Waitress was very attentive. Gorgeous beautiful view of the bay. Will definitely go back when in town! Outstanding place!

We had a wonderful date night here. Alyssa was a shining star server- attentive and kind. The food was good, especially the macaroni and cheese in the skillet. The house salad was large and fresh. The outdoor seating was kept comfortable with awnings, heaters, and mood music.

Pleasantly surprised. It’s one of those places where photos don’t do justice. Honestly, all the photos I saw on Google and Yelp was not very convincing that this was the restaurant I wanted to take my friend for her birthday. I am so glad I took her! Not only was the place beautiful, the choices on the menu, presentation of the food, price and the service was all excellent. I just wish reception desk would do a better job. I just don’t find bunch of people standing and talking when guests are coming in to be very rude and unappealing. It would’ve been nice if they were more professional, prompt and helpful.We liked our waiter though. He is easy going, not too pushy nor overly friendly. Took good photos for us, got us everything we requested on a prompt manner and explained the specials real well.Food wise, scallops were the best thing we had, it’s totally worth it please get it. The portions aren’t big though. If you’re getting scallops as an entree, make sure you have appetizer, salad or a soup unless you have a tiny appetite. Our next favorite was the tuna tartare. I feel like flavors could’ve been better though. I make poke nachos and makis at home all the time. In terms of seasoning, something was lacking in that tuna tartare.Our least favorite was the mussels. It was a creamy sauce but I couldn’t really figure out what it was supposed to be. Not a hearty tomato base, not totally creamy either. Somewhere In between. Bread was good but the sauce lacked much flavor. Mussels were too tiny, lacked meat.Would I revisit? Definitely! Next time will try steak, fish entree.

Great location but what a bust. I’m sure you are seeing things on your social media, which makes sense. The place was completely empty. Furniture was dated and the “atmosphere” was the ghost of a dilapidated Disney Hawaiian resort. I ordered calamari and got a chicken finger rendition of fish. Look up calamari and look at my photo and proceed to google another restaurant to eat.

Tantalum Restaurant is a beautiful restaurant located in the corner of a shopping center. The interior is decorated in a tropical style, with lush greenery, bamboo accents, and a waterfall feature. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and its a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family.Unfortunately, the food at Tantalum Restaurant is not up to par. The dishes are mediocre at best, and the prices are high. I ordered the pad thai, which was bland and overcooked. My friend ordered the grilled salmon, which was dry and over-seasoned.The service at Tantalum Restaurant is excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive, and she was always happy to make recommendations. However, even the best service cant save mediocre food.Overall, I would not recommend Tantalum Restaurant. The atmosphere is beautiful, but the food is not worth the price.

The waterfront dining is a view of condos or apartments & moored boats, its not ocean views & waves. Im glad we dined outside because they had loud, live music inside & it was...not pleasant to hear. To be fair, the calamari appetizer is outstanding. There are large strips with a great breading & tasted great on their own, but the aioli theyre served with is the perfect complement.We split the pad Thai & the calamari & it was enough for my wife & I. Its a cool place to be stylistically, thats for sure. The pad Thai was good but not great. I would try something else if we ever go back - we live in Idaho & were in the area for my wifes job so will we ever go back? Probably not, as there are SO MANY restaurants in the Los Alamitos/Seal Beach area. If I got a different main dish that was on par with the calamari in terms of creativeness & uniqueness, Im sure I would have given it 1 more star. Service was good & we were seated immediately on a Thursday evening after 7pm. I cant comment on the price, it seemed a little steep but then most dinner places we ate while there seemed expensive to me so thats probably par for the area.

Met up with a friend for dinner. Nice place, on the pier overlooking the river.Place wasn’t packed - Thursday evening was perfect to catching up. Less people and more attentive waitress. Who was very friendly by the way.My friend visited this restaurant a few times, so she recommended a few dishes.I wouldn’t say pricey, average price. Lots of food for the price as well. I couldn’t finish my meal in one setting. You definitely get a lot of food.My friend did order the Kobe Burger which was pretty big. She enjoyed the beef meat.I basically ordered fried rice. Very fulfilling and delicious. Lots of food too. Ordered the strawberry lemonade not too sweet just right.View was nice. Parking is free. I would recommend dining at Tantalum.

This is a cozy place right next to the shoreline where you can enjoy a water view. The bloody orange margarita was tasty and the mimosas were nice when you purchase the entire bottle since we got orange, pineapple and cranberry juices to choose from. The food was really good but each meal was enough for two people to share as everyone took half of their meal home. The waiter was nice and even the busboy was very attentive and asked to remove dishes which kept our table clean. The only down side was the hostess was not very friendly when seating us so glad it was a brief interaction for our visit.
