by Gina K. on What a unique place! Loved it. Bummer there's no dancing but this place's power plant theme and yummy drinks make it an ideal weekend hangout. I went to The Edison for a friend's birthday get together and we had a grand ol' time. Cozy tables, good food, good atmosphere and a good mix of people. (I don't get the eclectic mix in OC so it was refreshing.) Drink? I recommend the Brass Flower. It's what I had. So sweet and refreshing xoxo
by Joan Champeau on Dragged poor Rebecca with me to an afterparty during Fashion Week; the crowd was an interesting mix of people- does anyone look in the mirror before they leave the house- too many bad sweet 16 and MOB outfits. We met Christian from PR, gawd he's smaller than I am, and I am 5/ 2 1/2". Love the space; beautiful arched ceilings; snug little privacy booths on the second floor. Rather large dance floor and hanging paper lanterns. I thought the place would be fun on a date, as it's rather dark and...well use your imagination on what could happen in the shadows darling (um, could you tell I've been watching BBC America today??) Erm, yes, back to the subject at hand....there was fun music, lots of 80's stuff, which made us sing out loud and reminisce about really bad clothing, but the sound system sucked. Half the time it sounded as if the DJ had made a mix tape on a cassette and stuck it in and hit play. Sound wobbled in and out with a lot of hiss and some garbling. As an ex-DJ my ears were really offended. However, I think it might to go there again. Either with a group of people, or on a date and suck face in a dark corner. Oh, I am sooo not mature.
by Laurel M. on I have been coming here to hang out in the lounge and drink their tasty cocktails on a regular basis for a couple years now. The Tangerine had been my favorite cocktail in town until recently when I tried the mango martini from Karma and it blew it Tangerine away. Amazingly, I had never gone beyond the lounge to actually eat at Tangerine. I love the decor and overall ambiance of this place, its really kind of cozy and mysterious and romantic all at once. Seems like a great date place. I finally got my chance to have dinner there last night, and I was so looking forward to it. I left unimpressed with the food however. To start I ordered the crab & feta phyllo. The crab used in this appetizer was excellent. Unfortunately I had a hard time tasting it over the Greek slaw that was paired with it. I felt it was overpowering and a bit too sweet. Little did I know this was to be the best part of my dinner outside of dessert. I also had the arugula salad -- I really wanted the Mediterranean salad, but was not in the mood for shrimp at all. In retrospect, I should have just gotten the Mediterranean salad. Sure, arugula is not the mot exicting thing ever to begin with, but this salad was totally bland. Generally when I order a simple dish at a Starr restaurant I both expect and receive something that could have been simple but has been put together in an inventive and stand-out way. This was not the case with this salad. It wasn't bad, but it was certainly forgettable. For my entree I ordered the pistachio crusted duck breast. It was paired with creamy onions, seared foie gras and caramelized fruit. The duck breast I have no complaints about. It was very good. Not spectacular but very good. I really enjoyed it with the creamy onions. I've never eaten onions prepared in such a way before, but I would love to again. Now...the seared foie gras. Let me start off by saying I am in no way a foie gras connoisseur, but I thought this was terrible. Not so much the foie gras itself, but the way in which it was prepared - seared - was really not good. When I took a bite all I experienced as the overwhelming taste of something that had been far too charred. All I tasted was char. I tried in vain to pair it with the caramelized fruit, in hopes that that would counter balance the char, but no, the char still held on strong and conquered any taste the fruit may have added. For dessert I had something which I have forgotten the name of, but was deep-fried dough covered in sugar, sided with 2 dips, the berry one in particular I loved. These were SO GOOD! Simple, but for a sugary pastry fiend like myself, total heaven. I think I received about 8 of these dough balls, and immediately I said I wouldn't be able to finish them all, but before I knew it I had inhaled each and every one. Delicious. Service was so-so. It was a Thursday night, and I felt like they were kind of rushing, especially towards the end of the meal. While I was underwhelmed with my meal there, I still highly highly recommend Tangerine's lounge. The drinks are fantastic, the ambiance is very cool and the music is quiet enough that you don't have to strain to carry on a conversation. Doubtless I'll be back for drinking & lounging - but another meal is highly doubtful.
