Review of Tamara's Downtown

Given the rest of the reviews, I think perhaps we came on an "off" day. The crab cakes and fried spinach were indeed absolutely delicious. However, our server was not at all knowledgeable. I informed her right away that I needed gf for medical reasons. The entrees come with sides, but when I inquired of her (and she inquired of the kitchen) if any were gluten free, she said only the mixed vegetables & salad was. She then asked me which side I might want (??!). When she brought the salad, it had croutons. She was quick to take it back, but none of the dressings were gf except the oil & vinegar, which were deposited on the table in two very dirty carafes. The bottle of oil looked to have black mold growing on the bottom inside. Needless to say, I didn't eat the salad. I was very disappointed given the other reviews, but we will not make the drive back across the bay, even for the amazing crab cakes & fried spinach.
