Tamari's in Lawrenceville




Tamari's is an infusion of Asian and Latin American cuisine. I began with a pretty good sake that was not filtered. We all had a small appetizer of skewered and grilled items served with three dipping sauces - ponzu butter, ginger and chimichurri. Sushi was important! Maki rolls. One was a lobster roll in two portions. The lobster tail was filled with some of the tail's meat and prepared with tempura while the maki rolls had some other good stuff with it. There was also a TNT roll with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, masago, avocado and tempura fried. Not pictured is the Naruto roll of salmon, tuna, yellowtail, tobiko, wrapped with cucumber, served with ponzu. For an entree I had Charred Serrano Hoi Sin crusted Lamb Lollipops with sweet potato mash and cilantro-mint chimichurri. Chef Roger Li is the creator.

Dessert was a green tea layered cake for me. As it turned out, all of the desserts are made by that cupcake bakery!

My battery went dead on my camera so Dave Thompson took these photos
