My wife and I were so excited to have dinner at Tantra. What a let down. They had the worst service ever and the food was horrible. I ordered filet mignon and they could not even get that right. My wife ordered sea bass and it was so undercooked. The place is swanky inside but at least customers should leave feeling this was an awesome experience and the food was great. They did take my dinner off the bill. Don't go in with high expectations like we did. You will leave upset. Definitely try Asia de Cuba at the Mondarin Hotel. That is an experience and the food was phenomenal.

Excellent dining experience. Wonderful atmosphere & service. A little pricey, but not out of line for the level of food and service.

Terrible Experience

I just had to place a comment when I was overviewing others. I went to this restaurant back in 2004 and I will never go there again. I experienced the worst service and worst food ever. I left with stomach pains. The food was terrible and overpriced. The place is also crowded leaving no place to walk or stand. Horrible experience.

A South Beach Must!!!!

Valentine's Day 2006. I read the reviews and it seemed like a good place to go, something new. The bar was small, decided to order 2 martinis while waiting, price was $30. Table was also small (4 people). Looked at the wine list and it was ok, prices a little high but reasonable (I rather pay $100 for a bottle of wine that $15 for a martini). Finally got to the menu and it wasn't very big 1 page about the restaurant, 1 for martinis, another for appetizers (around 6-8 to choose: the lobster I think stood out), and the last page for the entrees (around 6 to choose from). The prices for appetizers ranged from around $18 - $25. The entrees from $35-$49 ($69 for lobster and $97 filet mignon with lobster). It was around 11:00pm so we really didn't want to get any appetizers wound up getting the lobster soup for my girlfriend. The soups wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either; a little cold and sweet my girlfriend didn't like it rest of the table tried it but none wanted it. The waitress asked what was wrong with it, with attitude. At the end she took it off the check even though we were going to pay for it just not eat it. Finally the main course, 3 of us choosed the filet mignon and another the salmon. The filet mignon was cooked ok and the mash was very good different than other places, but ultimately not worth the $45. The salmon wasn't as good though an the rice that came with it was burnt (not sure if is supposed to be like that but it wasn't good), at the end it wasn't a good dish. Food was average so decided to get a dessert only had one that day "Romeo and Juliet" well it was the worst dessert i think I've had in a restaurant especially when is the only to choose from. Overall the ambience was ok (not lively but ok) not as described though, food average, and prices thorough the roof. Place not worth it.

HORRIBLE DINING EXPERIENCE

Food is mediocre and way overpriced. Service is poor and management is even worse. Expect to eat what they give you and don't make any complaints about the food because they won't be accomodating. I will never go back and will continue to tell everyone I know to never go there as well. Better off going anywhere else but here.

Hot Hot Hot!!

We had dinner at Tantra on April 7, 2005 with some friends. The food was delicious. We has the lobster soup and it was spicy, sweet and creamy all at the same time. Then we had the steak and lobster. IT was mouth watering. The dessert was the icing on my cake. Overall, it was a bit pricey, the bill was over $ 450.00. But we all had the best items on the menu. As for the atmosphere, it was O.K. I expected something more. I would love to go back there again, once in a while.

Nice
