We didn't really know what to expect since this was our first trip to the area. We ended up at Tamara's Cafe because it was the only place open in Apalachicola on a Sunday evening. We were very happy that circumstances lead us to Tamara's! We started with the soft shell crab tacos, which was an appetizer special ($12). They... More

Loved the Tapas! The bacon wrapped asparagus was easily a great reason to go back. This is a place to order a beer (over a wine).

We had lunch here , after looking around the shops. My husband had the grouper & I had the veggie quesadillas & we thought it was on the best meals we had while visiting.

After some shopping all morning in the great little shops in town, we were tired and hungry so this place was a welcome find. The menu was brief but varied enough that everyone was able to find something they would like to eat. The buffalo chicken sandwich was very good and just as spicy as you would expect. The quesadillas... More

We were here for a Friday rehearsal dinner. The salad was an unusual combination but great. The paella was absolutely delicious. The prime rib was average. The atmosphere had character- it was intimate and comfortable. The live music was awesome and we had a blast dancing in the bar area. Great restaurant option a small town.

My husband and I have eaten at Tamara's between 5 and 10 times over the last several years. I believe the food is better than recent reviews would have one think. On the other hand, a few years ago the pecan crusted grouper had an incredible pecan crust - now not so much. My husband's very happy with his paella... More

The ambience is there if you can tolerate the noise level. We were there on Tuesday night maybe 7 tables and it was very loud. The crab cake appetizer and the caesar salad that we shared was very good. Our fish entrees and the sides were fair. My husband has pecan crusted grouper that looked deep fried. My flounder was...

We read the reviews and menu and truly thought that this would be a excellent lunch. Staff was pleasant. It was not crowded. Food came quickly. But it was just really OK. I expected much more in the way of flavor. I had black beans and yellow rice with a house salad. Beans were without any character, yellow rice just... More
