Modern Moroccan decor and edgy Mediterranean dinners meet in this dimly lit, spacious lair of rose-infused cocktails, grand lamb and honey tagines, and expense accounts. Tangerine is smack-dab in the middle of one of Old City's busiest nightlife blocks, and has dedicated its storefront to a low-slung lounge that feels like a hookah joint as imagined by architect David Rockwell. Beyond the lounge, past a wall of shimmering votives, are dining chambers divided by sheers and lit by pin-dotted chandeliers. Tangerine's cuisine gives an exotic edge to upscale basics. Whole bronzino, grilled pork chops, and filet mignon are amped up with spicy couscous, pomegranate marinades, roasted pepper tapenade, almond curry, and other vaguely exotic trimmings. Sharing-size portions and big tables make this an ideal choice for large groups out to have some fun.
