PRRP installment 21: Tangerine

For our FINAL installment, we walked over to Tangerine, which opened not quite a month ago in the space at Public Road and Cannon that has been home to so many short-lived restaurants. When it first opened, it was Rocky Mountain Joe's, and in between (I'm sure I am missing some), I recall Pulcinella, Mataam Fez, Angelo's, and Apeizzo. Let's hope Tangerine has some staying power! It probably will because the one in Boulder is very popular, and this location has been busy since it opened. 

I ordered something I'd never tried before (having often been to the Boulder Tangerine), poached eggs over polenta with roasted local Hazel Dell mushrooms, charred asparagus, and pecorino romano cheese. It was different and delicious! G had the two-egg breakfast with bacon, potatoes, and toast and also enjoyed his meal. We were especially impressed by the homemade jams (blackberry and strawberry). 

The space is pleasant with lots of natural light, but it's also quite noisy. You might have to wait if you visit at the peak lunchtime or on a weekend, but at 10:45 a.m. on Thursday, we got a table immediately.

We didn't order any of these, but the menu looked appealing.
