Tinto Bar Tapas

eeeeeeeeeep....time for the obligatory update. So I came here recently and we ordered quite a few tapas...some were great, and some were really bad. The empanadas were highly recommended and they were so greasy I felt ill after eating them. The lobster and avocado whatever was void of both lobster and flavor. But everything else was still very good. The barbacoa was fall off the bone tender, the flan was nice and smooth, the cocktails were good. I have to say I miss the nice white tablecloths that Meigas had. It just made the space feel brighter and more upscale. The plain wood veneer tables look really cheap. Our server was very friendly and I think the service was good overall. I feel this experience was not exactly up to 4 stars due to some of the food but it is definitely a-ok!

Walked in. Nobody waiting. Spoke to someone who said "would you like that table?" We said sure he said go I will be there in a few first let me seat these people. So no maitre di or anyone else interested. We sat. The table although set nicely was dirty and my glass was chipped. Same guy came over sprayed and wipe an exchanged glasses.
We were handed beautiful looking menu and a sheet of paper w the specials. No explanation no warm welcome.

We ordered 3 tapas. One shrimp in garlic w Demi glase. 4 small shrimp in thick red sauce. The tortilla which is a true Spanish tapa w egg peas and potato. Tasted like a bad Kinish. Ugh. And chorizo and papa. Chorizo tasted like a hot dog. All three SUCKED!

So we sat there for 19 minutes with empty water glasses and dirty dishes. I stopped a waitress not ours. She cleaned ALL the plates not realizing we were getting a main dish...REALLY!!

Ok so the hanger steak and the risotto (which I usually hate) with wild amazing mushrooms, was excellent.

All in all the service was so bad! Had it been good I would have forgiven the lousy tapas.

Don't bother!!!!
