“The best. I ate here with my father 15 years ago, when he would visit. I returned to the area, and brought my father once again. 15 years later we both still agree that it's the best.“

“Michael was wonderful at the bar. Extremely knowledgeable and a fun person to talk to while he is mixing drinks and teaching others.“

“Update: Came back tonight to give this place another chance and it was totally worth it. The meatballs were delicious and big improvement on the lobster bisque and chicken. Our waitress Nadeen was wonderful, inviting and prompt. We will definitely be back.

Upon entering the restaraunt, the host greeted us and made us feel special when bringing us to our table. My husband and I ordered the calamari, meatballs, lobster bisque and carbonara with grilled chicken for dinner. The bread and oil that came out was delicious. We had received our calamari which was amazing and a sizable portion. Honestly our favorite part of the meal. After waiting for a while , our meals were about to be dropped off when it was found that it was the wrong items. Our waitress Gwen stopped over later on to check in and we inquired about our meatballs. She informed us she didn't hear us and offered to put them in. After the long wait for our entrees we skipped on this. Our entrees arrived and the grilled chicken was super dried out/ not very edible. The carbonara was pretty good. The lobster bisque was good but the lobster claw provided was extremely overcooked. For the service, the owner was very helpful, ensuring we had drinks, checked in with us and was charismatic. Gwen's check ins with our table were infrequent, inspersonable and it seemed she was not strongly knowledgeable about the menu and offerings. Overall, the food was good, but our waitress needs some additional training. We would definitely return based on how the owner genuinely tried to make things right.“

“Tino's is our go to place when we want a great meal, lively atmosphere and extremely nice staff. We love that you can actually have a conversation and not have to scream above loud noise. It's a pretty spot and i like that they have a semi outdoor space that they keep warm and cozy even in the winter months. It's overall one of our favorite spots to eat.“
