I've only been here for the night club aspect of Tantra and it was a very bad experience. Tantra is one of those typical places in South beach that wants to be a restaurant, lounge, and club all rolled into one and just can't make it work, mainly because the space is way too small. The "dance floor" is right next to the dining area and the bar is close by, god forbid you go there in the evening for a romantic dinner as conversation is nearly impossible due to their ultra loud club music. I went with a large group of friends and the ladies were promised 2 for 1 drinks that they had listed on their website. When the bartendress returned with our drinks she said there was no such drink deal and that our apple martinis were $30 each. Literally! We of course were aghast and even after she "checked" with her manager it was the same. So we dished out the dough and were careful not to spill nary a drop of this precious liquor. Later the leader of our group found out and spoke with the manager, he said the bartendress was wrong and he gave us a free drink. Typical south beach bait and switch, since there are so many tourists and new people in Miami, they don't care how many people they scam. Even if this hadn't happened and I would still rate Tantra as a wanna be club thats not at all worth the money. As a restaurant it may be a different story.... Read more
