" Really enjoyed my experience at Tamari Bar! I was particularly impressed by the freshness of the seafood. I opted for the sashimi platter, and it didn’t disappoint. Pieces were succulent and melted in my mouth! The attentive staff made sure to check in frequently. The ambiance also contributes to a delightful dining experience. I would absolutely recommend it. Just make sure to call ahead for reservations, as it was quite busy that evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience at Tamari Bar overall, but not everything was perfect. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and the wagyu beef was cooked to perfection. However, I found the portion size of the bento box a bit lacking considering the price. The atmosphere was great for a casual date night, but I did feel that the service could be faster. They were very accommodating when I asked for a modification to my order, though, which I appreciated. It's a lovely place, but be prepared to spend a little more than expected if you're really hungry! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to check out Tamari Bar after hearing excellent reviews about their sushi. We were blown away by the freshness of the fish! The presentation was also fantastic; it almost felt like art. We ordered a variety of rolls and a Tora gozen set, which provided a beautiful sampling of different flavors. The vibe inside was lively yet cozy, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Our server was attentive and made great recommendations. We will definitely be returning to Tamari Bar soon!

" Food here is delicately prepared with great attention to detail. I really enjoyed the chirashi bowl, which was vibrant and filled with fresh ingredients. The only downside was the price, as I felt it was a bit steep but understood the quality of the ingredients used. The restaurant is well-kept, and their staff is attentive without being overbearing. If you're looking for an authentic izakaya experience, Tamari is the place to be! Overall, I would recommend it to anyone looking to savor delicious Japanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tamari Bar is a hidden gem in Capitol Hill. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by warm colors and a delightful ambiance reminiscent of Japan. We opted for the Happy Hour menu, which offered great deals but I was somewhat disappointed by the limited selection. The seafood was undoubtedly fresh, but I expected a little more out of the appetizers. On the flip side, the cocktails were exquisite, and the flavors they brought were truly refreshing. The service was helpful, assisting us with all our inquiries. I’ll definitely return to try their full menu, hopefully with a larger party! " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable night out with friends! The food was beautifully presented, and I loved the artistic take they had on traditional Japanese cuisine. The tofu dish was exceptional, and I would recommend trying it! While I found a few dishes on the smaller side, we made it work by ordering a variety to share amongst us. The servers were friendly and made us feel welcomed. I’m planning to return soon to explore their seasonal menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tamari Bar exceeded my expectations! The environment was truly welcoming with its Japanese influences, and I loved the mix of traditional and modern decor. The hand rolls were delectable and so fresh! I could tell that they take pride in using high-quality ingredients. The only minor hiccup was the wait for a table, but it was worth it. Excellent service overall with helpful staff. A place I will absolutely revisit and recommend to others looking for authentic Japanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
