This is a fantastic restaurant. The food and service were absolutely top notch. We shared a few appetizers and an entree. We left very full. Our server Tom was very attentive, kind and knowledgable. We really enjoyed the quiet intimate ambiance. I highly recommend Tiburon and will return in the future.

The food was incredible. Not a bad bite to be had. We especially loved the Ahi Zen roll and the pork belly yakitori. The cocktail I had was tasty but got watered down pretty quickly. Our server Derek was so helpful and attentive. It was a bit loud but to be expected on a Saturday night out. Overall, a wonderful experience and we will definitely come back!

Great food, great service and great gluten free options. It is pricey, but worth it. We loved the tuna, salmon and chicken dishes. I’m sure the steak is very good as well. The blondie dessert is excellent!

Great food. The parking is all on street parking which is expected for downtown, but it was tough trying to figure out where to park. It was quiet on this day and the service seemed to be very casual.
