It has been years since I went to Tiny's for dinner but I came for a girls night on a recent Friday evening. We had a 7:30 reservation and were taken straight to our table upon check in. The setting of this restaurant remains as lovely as ever. Really beautiful patio seating with a wonderful interior vibe as well. Service was attentive through the meal and I really appreciate that they have a list of their spirits on the back of the cocktail menu. For dinner we shared the artichokes and summer pizza to start and for my main I ordered the chicken romesco. I swapped the masa cakes for asparagus and though I don't normally enjoy dark meat the dish was pretty good. My friends shared a burger which the kitchen split for them on two plates which I thought was a nice touch. One friend ordered the pasta bolognese and let me have a bite. I have to say that the pasta was not good. I left the bite on the side of my plate unattended. Overall I think Tiny's is a really solid option, but I continue to prefer it for brunch or lunch over their dinner service.

I have been to Tiny’s many times and regret recommending this place for my mom’s birthday — it was a horrible experience. She went with her friends and they were treated terribly. They were served a broken cup and a dirty spoon, and when they politely asked for replacements, the server was rude and dismissive. He even corrected my mom’s friends’ pronunciation in a condescending way. When they asked for a group photo to remember the occasion, he refused and said, “I’m too busy working,” then openly complained about their group right in front of them. The manager only switched servers and didn’t offer any meaningful apology or attempt to make up for the disrespectful service. Overall they felt very unwelcome and not like how a paying guest should be received.

Initial wait was about 45 minutes, which was actually fine. After that time, they put me in a table in the back of the walkway. It wasn’t horrible, but I was looking for something with a bit more ambiance. I asked if I could wait for a table in a different area and the hostess asked if I minded waiting. I didn’t really, so I sat back in the waiting area.
She came back after talking with the manager and told me since I’m a single instead of a bigger party I would have to go back to the end of the waiting list and wait another hour. The fact that they brought up that I was an individual versus a larger group shows that they really wanted to stick me in the back and not treat me like other guests.
I get it that empty seats cost them money, but that’s not how I would run a restaurant.

The place is quiet, upscale and comfortable, and the dishes are delicious and varied. I had dinner with my family. The dishes were varied and delicious. The service staff is friendly and performs professionally. I recommend trying this restaurant, but its prices are a little high. There are indoor and outdoor seating.

Quaint restaurants on the bougie side. Beautiful decor and flower gardens. Limited small menu if you are a picky eater but the food is delicious! Highly recommend 😊

went in for my birthday brunch with my family and my moms plate had a hair on her food. Food was not good either. Will never be coming here again.

Great spot! Excellent location, cozy atmosphere, and a lovely patio. Food is fresh and tasty — I had the avocado toast with fish and really enjoyed it. Service is wonderful. Parking is small, so you might need street parking, but overall it’s a 5-star experience. Highly recommend!

We used to come here often but the food and service is very inconsistent. I do not recommend “lunch” on the weekends. We just had to walk out without eating. The place is very dirty compared to dinner. Vibe is a tad pretentious. We waited ten minutes before someone approached the table. Online lunch says they have green tomatoes but when we went to order we were informed that on weekends they have a ‘Brunch’ menu (including lunch time) which is different. We had a look online wondering how we missed that and, go figure, it’s not mentioned anywhere. Dinner is usually a lot better but again inconsistent.

Tiny Boxwoods is our absolute favorite breakfast spot — though lunch is fantastic too! The atmosphere leans heavily on the landscaping and farm-to-table vibe, making it feel fresh, cozy, and intentional. Most everything is made from scratch, and the host and service are usually excellent.
We love the Mother’s Breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon, jalapeño grits, and two biscuits with butter and jam), but we’ve also tried the migas, the burger, shrimp garden bowl, salmon risotto, and a huge shoutout to the grilled artichoke — I’ve even tried to replicate it at home! The chimichurri is absolutely delicious too.
We live dangerously close, and usually on Sunday mornings we just look at each other in bed and say… “Tiny’s?” It’s that good. Highly recommend for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.
Unprofessional. Told us the wait is 20 minutes, then 20 minutes later they called us saying it'll take another 20 minutes. Very disrespectful of costumers time.
It’s a beautiful space with outdoor & indoor seating. Went for brunch as we in town for business, it was a wonderful fine, very busy for brunch, while parking is tough. There’s assistance for parking .
