Very cute Soho restaurant with reasonable prices. The food is hit or miss, but the zucchini lasagna is absolutely fantastic (hence the 4 starts). It is the type of food that you crave and it didn't feel overly heavy since it is made with zucchini. The French toast was also yummy. I would not recommend the shakshuka- it was one of the more underwhelming versions of the dish that I've had in the city. read more

I live down the street and used to go to this place all of the time. I stopped by for a late night drink several months ago and was charged $250 for TWO drinks. Please check your credit card statement after going here :( I've stopped by, called, and emailed to get this matter addressed. I have not even been able to get a receipt from them BEWARE IF SHADY BILLING read more

Right in the heart of Nolita, Rintintin is the best place for an afternoon drinks with friends (especially their outdoor seating)!! I only got to try their Fried Shishito Peppers which was delicious, but I can easily tell that Rintintin will be my go to spot to meet with my friends. read more

Really fucked up because they seated us then took the order of two in my party, then when I ordered they said I was too drunk to serve so I ordered a water instead and then they had some one else come over and ask us to leave. Literally no one was drinking much in our group, so bizarre read more

Fabulous Hidden Gem of a Restaurant. Lunch was excellent, service was excellent and the price point was reasonable. Well done! We'll be back to Soho for this spot. read more

Pros: Nice decor and good food. I'm just happy I didn't order a salad because my friend got the smallest portion ever (for $16...) Cons: $12 for the smallest mimosa you've ever seen Rude waitress: I asked if the window could be closed because it was quite windy and cold that day. She didn't even acknowledge me, nodded and walked away. I had to get up and go close it myself. Broken knob in the bathroom Wouldn't make separate checks read more

Server Isabela B (short bob with highlights) wasn't attentive whatsoever. We had to wait for over ten minutes for our drink order and every time we tried to ask her she would hold up her index finger and tell us to wait. After seeing she served other tables that had sat down after us I had to aggressively ask again what was the hold up for several glasses of wine and to put in a food order. She was seemingly confused and after going to check she brought us our glasses of wine and was not apologetic whatsoever. It's a shame as this atmosphere of this place is great but hated the treatment from the staff, won't be returning read more

Our server marissa was extremely rude we love rintintin we go there at least once a week, all the other servers were great but she seemed to have a problem with us , she didn't even speak to us at all and threw our drinks and the check to the table without saying anything very disappointed the service read more

Staff was extremely friendly! 1) seated us within minutes 2) made sure the table was doing alright multiple times 3) great vibes and energy Outdoor seating was set up nicely! 1) cute aesthetic 2) tables were split by huge dividers 3) heating lamp for warmth Calamari slapped! 1) crispy 2) golden brown crunch 3) sauces didn't over power the calamari I ordered Steak and Eggs: 10/10! 1) love me some medium rare steak 2) potatoes were yum 3) eggs and veggies so good Will definitely come back again. Thank you for a wonderful outdoor dining experience!! read more

Tomato soup was fantastic although they did not give enough bread with it to make a solid ratio. They implied they could not put cheese on top but it did in fact come with cheese. The burger and salad were perfect, flower petals on the salad and burger cooked perfectly but the pickle has no crunch(too wet). The ambiance was great, lots of great throwback tunes and the service was very attentive. read more

The only redeeming quality is the decor. The drinks were uninspired and disappointing. The backwards hat bartender was having loud and inappropriate conversations with the other staff at the point to which we couldn't hear our own conversations. We would have left if we didn't already order our food. There are so many other better places in the area I would not recommend spending your money here. To top it all off, the bathroom smelled like a porta potty. read more

Terrible service and rude wait staff. Completely ignored us, had to put for a lot of effort just to get a beer.

Was looking for a place to grab a bite with my daughter. We were checking places out and there menu appealed to us. Some interesting salads and other things. We got seated immediately, considering it's small, they weren't overly busy. Which amazed me. We ordered a sandwich and a salad bowl which we were going to share. My sandwich came out 10 minutes before her salad which we both scratched our heads over considering the cheese on my sandwich was melted. The food tho was really good. Everything was delicious. read more

So as someone who used to frequent this place often, I am seriously displeased at their service. If you're going to tell me you're going to find a chair, then dont vanish for 35 minutes and pretend like you're going to find a seat. And then later give me attitude about me asking. Be honest and don't leave a customer hanging! read more

Went here last night, charcuterie board was horrible. Service was subpar, server didn't know anything about their liquor inventory such as the basic big name brands, and my drink was brought out wrong. Drinks and food took forever to come out and we had to flag down for the check. We were going to stay for dinner but decided to go elsewhere. read more

Service was awful. The hostess gave us the worst seat in the house, when I asked about another table she claimed it was reserved. I asked her how does one go about reserving a specific table and she has no response. We waited 45 minutes for someone to come take our orders after having to ask multiple busboys to get a waiter. The food was okay. Nothing to write home about but tasted fine. The drinks were good but overall the service was so awful I wouldn't return. read more

The host and waitstaff overall are rude, snarky, and condescending. The first time I came here, my party and I were given an allotted time to eat before the next party arrived, which we agreed to and were completely fine with. We were forced out of our table 30 minutes before the allotted time, and we were not finished with our food and had not yet paid. The 2nd and last time I came here, we sat at an outside table and a cockroach was crawling on the table next to us so we notified a waiter. He killed the roach with a rag and then proceeded to wipe the table with the same rag, then wiped down every other table with the contaminated rag, no disinfectant was used. I got the Benedict (that comes with a side salad) + a separate order of fries and house salad with chicken skewers. The Benedict did not come with the green salad mentioned in the menu and was never brought to us even though we asked, and the waitress was not kind in answering any questions. Overall the portions of the food are at 1/3 of the previous size as they used to be, but at the same price. read more

Such a cute spot!! Definitely make it out there for happy hour. Cocktails are SO refreshing, bartenders use real ingredients and make their own syrups - which makes the whole experience. Ambiance is 10/10 Nantucket meets your fav seafood joint. Bonus points for being in a great area with shopping and other bar options :) read more

This restaurant used to be incredible in terms of the quality of food and service but all that went out the window in the last year. Why you ask? Imagine you go to a Moroccan restaurant on two occasions within 3 months and each time you're told that the signature dish - chicken tagine - is unavailable. Now imagine further that the waiter brings you a bowl of gravy for the tagine (will speak on the authenticity in a momen) and you have to literally beg for a spoon to pour the sauce on your food. It's a back-and-forth because a waiter doesn't feel like grabbing a spoon for a food item that require a spoon. Go figure. And that's not counting the fact that gravy is just a cheap substitute for the spices they used to bring along with the dish. I guess the price of safron went up? As someone who once fell in love with this restaurant only to see it be raked over the coals by an awful change in management, I strongly recommend that you not eat here. read more

AMAZING. Lived in this city for 5 years and this is def one of my favorite restaurants. Great vibe, nice decor the staff are really nice. Zucchini chips and vegetable tagine are to die for!! And they cook the tagine in the real tagine pots like the Moroccans do. Had a traumatic experience one night where two groups of Australians seated right outside our window started smoking, and the smoke was blowing into our food...(Who smokes anymore it's 2017??) Anyway our waitress quickly went and told them to stop smoking without us even having to say anything, which we really appreciated. Had nothing but good experiences here & never had to wait for a table (I always reserve on open table). Thank you Rintintin! read more

Rintintin - Beautiful - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

My friend and I walked into the restaurant at 7pm on a Saturday. There were 3 tables open for two and we waited patiently for the hostess. An employee, who eventually became our server, brushed us off and said "I believe we are booked for the night" with an arrogant air. The hostess came up moments later and sat us immediately in one of the THREE open tables. The server spoke no words to us, I'm not exaggerating, the entire time we were there. He served 2 tables before us, came up behind us silently to take our order, dropped our food off silently, asked for no drinks, and took 15 minutes longer than he should have to drop off the check. The food was good but I believe a good restaurant is all about hospitality and treating people like they are in your own home. Nate the server, I hope to never be a guest in your home again. read more

What a disappointment this restaurant was. I had such high hopes for it as I love Mediterranean cuisine. I came here with friends in the middle of the week. A warm summer night. The inside of the restaurant was hot. They had a dirty dan propped up on a turned over bucket by my table. Appetizing. What I didn't understand is that there are windows everywhere here and not one was open. We asked our waitress if the AC was out. She said "no, it's always hot like this". If we were a smaller bunch I would've left at that. Unfortunately we decided to stay. In addition to the steamy room the service was poor. More about that later. We were served warm water and then had to wait at least 20 minutes to receive our drink order. We started with several apps. -burrata (this was good, I would eat this again) -zucchini chips (these were ok. Mugger than expected and not very crispy) -watermelon salad (light and tasty) -octopus (this was ok. Felt slightly overcooked) After our long wait for the meal I received my meal, the fish of the day. This was grilled brazino. It couldn't have been more boring. The fish was flavorless. It came with spinach, also flavorless. I ordered a side of potatoes, which were good. I tasted my friends pasta with clams. The pasta was over cooked and it was way too spicy. After finishing our meal we waited 30 minutes, then had to ask for a dessert. We were provided with one menu for six. I had to ask a different waitress for more. Another 10 minutes go by and we order dessert, the churros and the chocolate almond cake. The waitress swings by and we ask for extra gelato (the ordered desserts were supposed to come with gelato we just wanted more. The waitress tells us their freezer is broken and they don't have gelato and they're replacing it with cut fruit. This would've been good information when we ordered. I had to run to a local ice cream shop to get ice cream. Oddly, a small amount of ice cream was served with the dessert. FYI, the churros were burnt. Twenty minutes later, we had to ask for the bill. Our waitress at this point stopped coming over. Of course, there was an issue with the credit card machine. They had to reboot they system to get it to work. Overall, I would never go back. This dinner was so much longer just because our waitress never came around. Also, the bathrooms were dirty. I will never be back. read more

Moroccan themed brunch!? Yes please. After a long morning run, I wanted something fresh and fulfilling and this place delivered. Mezze plate was tasty (especially the feta), included hummus, taziki, olives, baba and so much, but needed a bigger pile of pita. Burger was solid, spicy chicken pita was great. Fried Halumi plate was surprisingly crazy filling with two poached eggs. I had the Moroccan eggs which was a spin on eggs Benedict with a quinoa salad as the base. Minus one star because the wait staff seemed over burdened and really slow for a Sunday morning which should be their A+ staff. They also all needed to be asked everything more than once which was a bit disappointing. However, would recommend it for anyone seeking a cozy home cooked vibe with a large variety on the brunch menu in soho. read more

George, The king of bartending, can be found at RinTinTin. This was a great and random bar find with an amazing bar-keep running the ship. George's style is that of Tom Cruise from "Cocktail", but minus the 80's cheese. I must have watched this drink master make like 15 drinks in about 5 minutes; specialty shots, craft cocktails, a few gimlets, and all with perfect measurements. I tried my fiancé's vodka press and it was delicious! Now look, I know what you're thinking, "Vodka press?, not impressive", but instead of using Sprite or 7up George only added lime juice with a splash of Ginger Ale. So refreshing! This place seems like it belongs in Miami or Havana with it's bright white walls and "dancey" house music that rattles the bones. Need a non-fussy night cap spot? Belly up, because you've found it! read more

Came here for lunch with coworkers and was pleasantly surprised. Usually its hard to find places that can accommodate for everyone's dietary needs. However there was a good selection of indulgent options(for me ), as well as healthy dishes for the workout fanatic and vegetarian/possibly vegan options. I got the beef torpedo pita with fried potatoes instead of salad and that is always a good decision because those potatoes were AMAZING. Whole potatoes were torn up into pieces instead of cut into fries, creating more surface area to crisp up while still maintaining fluffy chunky interiors. Sounds weird but trust me its good and I don't even like potatos that much. The pita was alright, meat was juicy and well seasoned but needed maybe more toppings like pickles and spice. Others got quinoa salad, the pomodoro pasta, fried halloumi and other sandwiches. Large portion sizes for a decent price and a nice cozy space, almost like a getaway with the fun colors and décor. Staff was nice as well and only negative thing was the food took a bit long to come. General satisfaction overall and definitely would like to come back to try their zucchini fries! read more

We just stumbled upon this place as we were trying to get into Lombardi but didn't feel like waiting in line. The menu looked quite promising but the plates lacked some serious flavor and just looked a bit messy really. What made the experience truly horrendous was the service of the host, she looked as if she really didn't enjoy her work and was to the point of rude, unfortunate experience... read more

Rintintin - This was disgusting! - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

I was truly disappointed with my experience here. My friend and I sat down at around 8:30pm. Our waiter was nowhere to be found so after a few minutes, we ordered from the hostess. I got a drink (the bees knees- pretty good) and then we ordered the zucchini chips and beef torpedo pita to share. 35 mins later, we asked where our food was (other tables who had arrived well after us were already eating). They said it would be out in 2 minutes. 10 minutes later, still nothing. We decided to cancel our order because we had somewhere else to be and a man (maybe the manager?) came up to us and said that "the zucchini chips have to be individually fried which is why it's taking so long" (WHAT?!) We confirmed that we wanted to cancel and right at that moment, the food comes out. The man with the food said "I'm sorry, the beef torpedo delayed your order." Again, WHAT?! Which is it??? With regard to the food- not good. The beef was so dry and the zucchini chips were soaked in oil. Our table was covered in napkins trying to get the grease off. Perhaps these items would've been better if they hadn't clearly been made in a rush. Bottom line is that they had very poor customer service. The only things they did quickly were getting us seated (not good to have so many empty tables on a Thursday night) and getting us the check! Had they just admitted that they forgot our order and apologized, the situation and experience may have been much more pleasant. read more

Another great restaurant in New York. Love this place. Thank you for making my husbands birthday a special one. The singing in French was such a special touch. I didn't catch the waitress name but she was the sweetest. So helpful and always smiling. Definitely will be back. Great food and great service. I couldn't post the video of the waiter singing... but again thank you for everything. read more

Great atmosphere, I had the hurrays salad and the calamari that was pretty good and the churros were to die for!!! Looking forward to visit to have a full meal. read more

This place is super cute. The food is also good and very fresh. The cheese plate came with grapes, fresh figs, a small bowl of olives (we ordered the bowl of olives too not knowing the cheese plate came with them), and crackers. My fiancé loved his kebab and couscous and said this was one of his favorite restaurants that we've been to (for what it's worth he's also Turkish and usually is harder to impress when it comes to Mediterranean food). I thought the food was good. The Bee's Knees cocktail was so weak and extremely sweet. Wasn't a fan. I went with mulled wine next. It was much better than the cocktail (served warm). I'm taking a solid two stars off for the service. We were the only couple there. The other tables were single women or groups of women. Our male server paid zero attention to our table and spent our entire dinner chatting with girls at other tables. (The place wasn't swamped or very busy either. The bar was empty and we were maybe two of a total of ten patrons in the place at the time. More than half of the tables were empty. If it had been super busy I would absolutely understand if service was slow.) Finally a second server came and was helpful only after we flagged him down. We sat in the middle of the restaurant by a window and it was super drafty and cold, just an FYI. They do have the front area draped off by the door. Dress warmly. Overall, cute place, good food. Would not come here again for drinks. Not sure if we will visit again because of the particular server issue. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night and it was packed! More on the loud side, which is to be expected. Dinners are large, lunch, not so much. For dinner I had the Linguine, which was average. It wasn't particularly good or anything. For lunch, I had the Avocado Toast. As someone who loves Avocado Toast and eats it regularly, whether home made or out for brunch, I was extremely disappointed. First off, it was extremely tiny and not for $10. Secondly, it was sour and had no avocado taste. Definitely do not reccommend. read more

The food was great. Chicken tangine, Lamb burger, zucchini chips and all the dips were delish! We had great service too, our server was there every time we needed her. Only downside, it was hot! We were sat in the back and none of the windows were open so it got steamy pretty quick. Still a great place and a great meal. read more

Tried halloumi for the first time after the bartender kindly described the taste, texture, and what to expect. The halloumi bacon sandwich was delicious and the potatoes were perfect. Super friendly vibe and cozy decor. Perfect for a late brunch. read more

Stopped in for a couple of drinks at the bar. The place is cute, but the atmosphere was way too pretentious for what it is sitting on Spring Street. I can attest that the bartender with the scruff beard described by another Yelp reviewer was indeed very loud and pretty obnoxious, as was a 20-something "LA" girl sitting at the bar with her friend. The two started talking about their travels (ridiculously limited but they were too young to realize what lack of experience they were showing!) and at one point while discussing Paris, the bartender actually called HIMSELF pretentious. Who does that wearing skateboard clothing from behind a bar? Anyway, thankfully he left his shift and another bartender from Argentina came on, who was low-key, respectful, humble, and unobtrusive. The "LA" girl told him how she wanted to "Go South" at some point, meaning to Argentina after she tried to flirt with him and asked him where his accent was from, to which he kindly and generously placated her stupidity. Honestly, that was the best part about the entire experience. On a positive note, while we didn't eat anything, the charcuterie plate the girls next to us were sharing looked great. My margarita? WAY too much ice and too expensive for me to return. No need to go here unless you're into trying to be pretentious, in which case, you've already failed miserably by stepping through these doors. read more

! Rintintin is a nice cool spot. I came here for a brunch on Saturday and sat at the bar. The bartender took care of me and he was super nice and really down to earth. Really enhanced the experience here. Rintintin is a nice low key spot and was packed but as is the rest of the neighborhood on a beautiful saturday day for brunch. I ended up ordering something pretty easy (forgot name) but it included two eggs (any style, i got scrambled), salad & some sausage! Done well. Hard to mess it up. The second thing I ordered was the lobster bisque soup. This is what made it 5 stars. It came out with a puff pastry in the shape of a lobster & the soup was on point. Nice Job. Great service. Low Key Spot. No Wait on Saturday Brunch. Good Food. Reasonable Prices. Can't Lose. read more

less than 1 star my friend and I dined here and gave a 20% tip my friend had her phone charging here and was only returned her phone and not her charger. As we were leaving The manager became extremely aggressive with us. I never raised my voice just told him I think he was handling women disrespectfully. I was calm the entire encounter but was then told to "get the fuck out of the restaurant". The situation escalated between him and my friend but the manager then took both of us myself who was calm and standing aside and shoved us and punched us into the street into oncoming traffic. My things went flying everywhere his co workers were telling him to not hit women. I have cuts all over my hands and my friend has bruises and welts and was bleeding on her face. He then called the cops on us and said we were attacking him the NYPD showed up and was no help and the restaurant then protected the employee. This place allows men who lay their hands on women to work here and even more so protects them. Myself I was a bystander and was hurt in this altercation. This is the most disgusting establishment ever. I am uploading my injuries as my friend is so shaken by being hit by this man she is worried for her safety. Please do not give this establishment any money. read more

On Saturday, March 18th, at 4:30 on a lovely afternoon, we were DISCRIMINATE against at RinTinTin; the hostess unfairly judged us and decided we were not the right profile for the establishment by refusing to give us a table. She was rude and abrasive, rolled her eyes, and acted annoyed because we didn't fit her profile as the customer she preferred to have sitting at the establishment. We were tourists to her, but because of her DISCRIMINATION and PROFILING, she didn't see two professional business owners; my husband is in real estate, and I own one of the most successful and awarded brand agencies in the midwest. She didn't see my sweet family, my beautiful daughter, who modeling agencies and art schools are courting--she saw a family, and families are not welcome at RinTinTin. After rolling her eyes for a second time and trying to discourage us with a 30-minute wait (ha, is 30 minutes a long wait?), she begrudgingly had me write my name down on a nonexistent list and told me she'd call me when a table was ready (there were open tables everywhere). 2 and a half hours later we received the call. I guess it was now dark enough to hide our beautiful family sitting in RinTinTin. What happens when an establishment refuses to seat someone because of their perceived ideas? Will a customer's skin be the wrong color, accent be offensive, or will they wear the wrong shoes? DISCRIMINATION is a slippery slope, and the hostess at RINTINTIN is part of all the ugliness the world is trying so hard to repair. I would suggest some hospitality training or maybe a class on kindness. I am proud of my beautiful family, and I'm sad that, for a second, I felt intimidated by you. I'm sad that you ruined my last night in New York and that you became the New York stereotype I didn't want to believe. I'm sorry we came to RinTinTin. I won't say that I will never go again. I always give a second chance because I'm a mom from the midwest, and we know the golden rule - you should treat others how you want to be treated. It's pretty simple; maybe you should give it a try. See you next year. read more
