Setting:
Tinto for dinner.
First Impressions:
The front room is lined with wine bottles, so make no mistake that this is, yes, a wine bar. I am not quite sure what the rest of the place looks like because we were seated at the first table when you walk in. I am sure the rest of the place is lovely.
Food:
We ordered the chef's bonus tasting (chef's selections for all courses, plus a lobster dish and a special Spanish meat dish). I guess I should preface this whole section of the review by saying that I have no idea what we ate, exactly, since it was all brought out to us as the chef decided, and since I don't have a very good auditory memory when I can't see it in writing, too. Weird, I know. Anyway, it was all amazingly delicious. I can only describe the food, but my descriptions will not do it justice. You just have to go and try it yourself. We had delicious everything.
Service:
Service is very good at Tinto. There is a nice team mentality at a Garces restaurant, meaning all hands are always on deck. This is always better for your dining experience.
Definitely go.
