My husband and I came across Tinto as we were leaving Village Whiskey because it was too crowded and had no seating for dining. Reluctantly, we entered Tinto next door. I initially thought the prices were a little much for the "small plates" but was pleasantly surprised by the excellent food and wine. WOW! The food was delicious! I experienced foods that I never had before, which was a nice adventure. The service was great - our Server was very attentive and made several recommendations. A good time was had, all in all, but, still a bit pricey.

The food is pretty good if a bit salty... Also there's less options if you're vegetarian. That said its really good, a little off the beaten path relative to standard tapas. Good wine pairings.

Wonderful food. Horrible, awful service: both the server and the bartender were unpleasant. They had extremely rude attitudes, and were very passive aggressive bordering on confrontational. If previous raters claimed good service, they must have hired new staff recently, more specifically, bad staff. I went with a large group for a friends birthday. Every time we asked our server a question, he ALWAYS replied in a snarky, condescending tone. We made a reservation well in advanced but you could tell he couldn't wait to get us out of there. I baked a cake for the bday boy and I asked the bartender for a lighter. The bar was basically empty and he was not busy at all. He said he didn't have a lighter and when I politely asked him to get me one, he just glared at me and repeated that he didn't have a lighter. There are dozens of candles at every table, obviously there were many lighters in the restaurant but he refused to do a simple favor. By the way, the restaurant wanted to charge me 5$ per person in my party as a "plating" fee for my home made cake (we had spent 400$!! On food and drinks, they couldn't spare a few extra plates?) Ultimately, the food was delicious, the chef was great, but I wouldn't return because the service was unacceptable. One last piece of advice, if you do end up going, don't order the scallops, they were over salted.

Food and service were exemplary. Highly recommend.

Good food. Terrible terrible service especially the bartender. Overall never going back given the bad experience. Also would be great if workers actually know how to say the menu items.
