output: I've never written a review on Yelp before but I had such a crazy experience last night that I felt compelled to create an account, to help save other diners from wasting their time at Tana! I had a reservation at Tana for 8:30 pm and my husband and I arrived right on time. After checking in, the hostess left us standing at the door for at least 15-20 minutes. We were finally seated and looked over the menus when the hostess (who was also our server and the bartender) came back and informed us that the kitchen was "running out of food" so we should let her know what items we were interested in and she'd see if there was any left. We gave her our order and she came back a while later and said that they were only out of 1 of the 5 items we wanted, which was fine so we replaced it with something else. As our server was about to run off again I asked if we could please order some drinks (we hadn't even been brought water). She said "yes, of course, but we're out of cups." Around 9:15 pm our server came by and said our food would be out shortly. A few minutes after that she came back again and said that they were out of injera, and is that alright with us? We said no! The whole point of eating Ethiopian food is that it's served family style on injera, this huge piece of flat bread that you tear off and scoop the food up with, using only your hands and no utensils. Without injera you'd just have some piles of food. Our server was very apologetic and said she'd have the manager come over and talk to us and work something out. We waited for the manager about 10 minutes and never saw him. During this time we called Abay, another Ethiopian restaurant right around the corner, and made a reservation there. By the time the manager at Tana got to our table we were probably already enjoying our entrees at Abay! Abay was also busy that night but they obviously know how to run a restaurant - great food, great prices, and they even had cups!

output: I used Lyft for the first time flying into Sky Harbor. It was incredibly easy to use. I requested a lyft and within 45 seconds the driver responded asking where to pick me up. I received a picture of the driver and vehicle that would be picking me up and within minutes my ride was there. My driver was professional and friendly. The vehicle was clean and it felt much nicer than taking a cab AND it was half the cost of a cab! Will definitely use again!

Came here for brunch, with mixed expectations - yes, they're owned by the Eat'n Park Hospitality Group and I was half-expecting it to just be an upscale Eat'n Park. I am so happy to have been proven wrong. The atmosphere could be described as... maybe modern home kitchen? The top 40 radio station was playing, the art on the walls was a little kitsch, the bar/oven area reminded me of a newly remodeled kitchen. The garage doors which are just begging to be opened out into the porch area, with its outdoor fireplace, fit in nicely. The servers, as I'm sure with many newly opened places, are over-eager and super friendly. They get to wear a casual, comfortable uniform in a great environment so I don't blame them for being so happy. Our waiter was trying to get some kind of information out of us - have we been there before (no), were we celebrating anything (no), were we from out of town (no - we work in Oakland), were we doing anything special today (going to the Museums, maybe)? I was kind of pressured, in that friendly Pittsburgh way, into getting a Mimosa, but I didn't regret it. It was decent for $8 and so was my husband's Bloody Mary. I've included a photo. Upon looking at the menu I immediately knew that I would absolutely have to come back for lunch or dinner, and brunch, again. So many things I wanted to try - word to the picky brunch eater though, the menu doesn't go into much detail. For example, I got the Chorizo and Eggs (which were pretty good) - I should have realized they were going to be super cheesy. If you're avoiding anything in particular in your diet, absolutely ask first, they'll be happy to help. That said, though, it was amazing. Their potatoes are the best I've had in a long time. I really appreciate that they give you the little crunchy bits that higher-end restaurants don't want on a plate for presentation reasons, but they're the best part. They were perfectly cooked and came with an interesting house-made ketchup. Husband got the quiche, which I didn't try because I was too busy devouring my own food. He said that the crust was excellent, and the filling (mushroom and swiss today) was good. It came with a small side salad, but honestly it was just mixed greens with a light dressing and not at all appealing. The ratio could use some adjusting - it was a small slice next to a big pile of greens. But he also got a big boat of those amazing potatoes to go with it. If you've gotten breakfast at an Eat'n Park before you know they give you WAY TOO MUCH butter. They do the same here, too, but it just made me wish I had more of that amazing grilled farm bread. They give you such small slices - I would pay to get more if I knew they were going to be so small, just to use up more of that butter. Everything is made in-house here - the dangerously delicious honey butter, the amazing fruit jams (today's was blueberry and I wanted to eat it with a spoon). They even make their own seasonal sodas. For two people, with two drinks, two entrees, and the aforementioned boat of potatoes came to $40 pre-tax and it was pretty much worth it. I'll give them another star if they hit it out of the park for a dinner. Things I would like to see as they grow more comfortable: - An expanded cocktail menu on a seasonal rotation. - Less overbearingly friendly servers. Sorry guys. - Please please please start a late-night half-price! Come on, it's Oakland, that's what the restaurants are known for - it's good competition. - Turn off the top 40 music, I'm sure there's something more appropriate out there. - Even though it's very borrowed, keep with the current dishtowel napkins (exactly like Meat & Potatoes) and glass milk jug serving carafes.
