A Spanish friend invited me to Tinto for late night tapas the other night. As soon as we arrived, I felt transported back to my days of studying abroad in Barcelona. The father/ daughter team was very gracious and welcoming. The place is nicely designed, but not over the top trendy or gimmicky. Similarly, the food and drink were very authentic - simple, good ingredients put together in the traditional manner without trying to be anything more. I recognized just about everything on the menu. There where no small plates of 'fusion' under the guise of tapas here. Overall, the experience was wonderful in a very unassuming way. I'm excited to go back!
