    A friend of the Mommy's recommended this restaurant, and "she's a real foodie, so it will be good." And it WAS!! It's a narrow, long space, charmingly and simply decorated, with art on the walls. We were seated in the window. Our server was WONDERFUL! Attentive, friendly, and informative. We shared a salad to start, and I had the Greek sausage as well. The Mommy had salmon as her entree, and I had the chicken kebab. This was my favorite kind of menu--a few items, perfectly prepared. There's something for everyone! Portions were very generous! We finished the salad, but could not finish our entrees. Or the sausage. There's a small, well-curated wine list. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS. Flavorful and perfectly cooked. Our server surprised us with a dessert! It was puff pastry with a creamy, sweet white custard. I decided that it was worth puffy allergy face. I couldn't easily separate the pastry from the custard. It was yummy! This was a lovely dining experience, and I look forward to returning.

    WOW! Everything about this spot is so incredible. The service, the wine (you can bring your own bottle by the way), the food, the atmosphere and the music were absolutely perfect and came together to deliver one of those one of a kind uniquely New York dining experiences. I'm so happy that a friend told me about this gem and look forward to returning! It's perfect for a date night - just make sure you get a reservation.

    A late Monday night dinner is never easy as restaurants are usually shutting down at 10pm or earlier. We found our best option to date as this place on 1st Ave betw 90/91 street. It offered excellent food and wonderful hospitality. Our group of 5 arrived early and they accommodated us cheerfully. The menu was fairly priced- a rare occurrence these days. Fried calimari and other apps were all really good. Warm pita.... My salmon and rice entree was great as were the fish and lamb entrees. The Greek wine was nice. A complimentary napoleon dessert and candle ended the evening -all without being rushed. If in the area you should rush over to this old fashion solid restaurant.

    Definitely need to make a reservation if you're planning to go as it's a tight spot. They gave us a free dessert as well. I really like the calamari and fish here. There was a good energy

    We've been ordering takeout from Tino's since the restaurant is so small and we cannot take our baby stroller in. We will wait until our baby is old enough to go back to dine in. Despite we ordered takeout, the hospitality and quality of food is still top notch! I love their soft shell crabs special right now! And we ordered a bunch of sides to share. Such as the fried calamari, octopus (which is hubbys fav!) and gigantes. To top off they also give us their delicious dessert to go! Which we love! Tino's is such a neighborhood gem.

    Tinos is a cute Greek restaurant in the UES. I stopped by at a friend's recommendation and wish I knew about them earlier!! They ran out of octopus so we got the calamari instead. Even though I prefer smaller pieces, their larger calamari was super tender and juicy. Each piece was nicely fried with a crisp and light batter. The complimentary pita and hummus were solid and well seasoned. The marouli salad featured really fresh romaine lettuce, covered with just the right amount of olive oil and vinegarette. Great ratio of scallion, dill, and feta cheese! For mains, I got to try their branzino and dorado. Both were tasty and well seasoned with capers and lemon flavors. Fish were tender and not overcooked. They gave us free dessert and it reminded me of a napoleon dessert with cream and crunchy pastry. Loved how it wasnt too sweet. My partner and I devoured it no time! Staff were nice and attentive, but a little slower towards the end. I think the restaurant is run by a father son duo. Good amount of seating inside with minimalist decor and dim intimate lighting! I look forward to coming back when I'm craving Greek food!

    Had a great dinner here! I would definitely recommend reservations as it's pretty busy during dinner. The dishes were all spectacular but some of my favorites were the octopus, gigantes, and the assortment of dips. The inside is pretty tight-fit, resulting in a cozy atmosphere. Definitely will be my go-to Greek spot around here.

    The place is a little crowded with seats close together. I would recommend to make a reservation. I really like the ribeye steak and felt like it was good quality for the price especially because it came with complementary pita bread and a dip plus a flaky dessert. We also ordered the rice stuffed grape leaves which I thought were pretty normal but very solid.

    After just discovering Tino's and loving, not only the host, who might be the owner, but the warm friendly atmosphere and the exceptional Greek food, I was shocked that anyone could write a negative review about this jewel of a restaurant! We walked about thirty blocks to come here for our 6pm reservation and within minutes, every table was occupied in their small but charming dining area. While you might get lucky and get a table without a reservation, I'd certainly recommend having oee on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening.

    This is such a Gem! Perhaps my new favorite Greek place in all of New York. I came here on a weekday night for late dinner (8pm) and was able to snag a table for 2 without any reservations which was great! - Complimentary Pita with Baba Ganoush - I love how the eggplants in the baba ganoush was more thick cut so the "sauce" was more chunky. Also the naan, even when it turned cold, was still perfectly soft. - Avgolemo - This is my first time trying a cream-based soup with a lemony aftertaste. I was really surprised by the flavors of this broth and wish there was just a bit more orzo or chicken. - Dolmades - I usually don't like dolmades that much but this one was delicious. The rice was super succulent without being very overwhelming as one of my biggest complaint of this dish is that it often just tastes like you're eating a lot of carbs. - Arni Souvlaki - The lamb and beef kebab were very tender while the rice was very flavorful. I also really enjoyed the tzajiki sauce as it wasn't too heavy. I think this is one of the most well-done souvlaki's I've had in the city. - Saganaki - This is one of the best things I haven't eaten in a long time. The cheese block was not overly cheese-y and even when it turned cold from us sitting and talking for so long, it was still delicious as it didn't get too oily even though it was fried. - Complimentary Dessert - I was so surprised when they pulled this powdered sugar, cream, mixed with cracker concoction out for free? I really have never experienced getting a complimentary dessert at any New York restaurant before unless its at a Michelin-starred place. The dessert was light and airy and I appreciate the mixture of textures there were in the dish. Overall, such a fantastic restaurant in the UES. I can't believe I hadn't discovered this place earlier! I will definitely be back. Also the owners were so kind and friendly to us!

    What a wonderful and flavorful lunch. The steak was seasoned to perfection. A tad fatty but yummy and I took the scraps for the pups . Loved the pita and dessert to boot. And the service was exemplary.

    I can't believe it, but this is my 1000th review! This was such a cute family owned, neighborhood Greek restaurant. There was a lovely cozy atmosphere. All the food was absolutely delicious and there was so much of it! We started off with pita, which came with 4 different dips. Each one tasted fresh and flavorful. I enjoyed the garlicky one and the eggplant based one. The pita was also very good... Soft and pillowy. The Greek salad consisted of tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper, red onion, olives (which I didn't eat), pieces of feta, and lots of bold spices, along with olive oil. Veggies were crunchy and juicy, while the feta was nicely creamy. Fried calamari was delightfully crispy and well seasoned. There was also grilled octopus bites on top of hummus with red pepper, onion, cilantro in a slightly salty (in a good way), savory sauce. I usually don't eat much octopus, but surprisingly found myself coming back for more of this dish. One of my favorites of the evening was Fried Saganaki Cheese, which was smooth, mouthwateringly melty, with intense flavor. The cheese came with a plate drizzled with vinegar and lemon on the side, adding extra layers of yumminess. Then came Ground Lamb and Beef patties, which were simply prepared, lightly charred, hearty, and tasted wonderful. As for seafood, there was whole Branzino (served butterflied with the head still on the plate), as well as Salmon. I preferred the salmon, which was juicy, tender, flaky, full of rich seasoning. The Branzino also had a lot of spices, but was marinated in a caper sauce, which I wasn't such a fan of. Still, I could tell the fish was quite fresh and cooked expertly. In terms of starches, we were served Lemon Potatoes and Leek Rice Pilaf. The potatoes were perfectly cooked to just the right consistency. Rice was also really good with carrots and tons of seasoning. Dessert was Galaktoboureko made with phyllo dough, custard filling and covered with a dusting of powdered sugar, accompanied by Greek coffee. The phyllo dough part was crunchy, slightly sweet and paired perfectly with the velvety smooth, indulgent custard. The coffee was authentic and strong, oh so luscious, and didn't need any additions. Service was top notch. The servers were attentive and we always had new food being served. I would definitely return to try the Lamb Chops or Pork Chops with Greek Fries and the Baklava of course.

    I don't have Greek food that often, but this place was amazing. The salad and spanakopita were the highlights of my meal. I loved how caring the servers were. Make sure to leave room for dessert since they serve it to you no matter what. It was a delicious sweet pastry and cream that could easily be shared amongst the table.

    Is there a bar to sit at and have a cocktail while I wait for others in the party to arrive for dinner?

    No Tinos does not have a bar, it is a railroad style restaurant and not big at all, with tables nestled very close to each other. However the food is spectacular!

    Is Tino's still BYOB?

    No. They have a liquor license and serve at least wine.

    Is Tino's still BYOB?

    Sure is!

    What a gem! We found Elea as we were walking around the uws. This is on a side street, which was…read morequieter and less noisy than on the main Columbus or Amsterdam avenues. Elea has an outdoor shed which was covered and very nice. We got a table in this shed with our baby and dog. The service was friendly. We ordered several dishes to share, the fried calamari, grilled octopus and lavraki, all on the lunch menu. I really enjoyed every single dish! I was so craving the fried calamari and this really hit the spot, I loved the dipping sauce (which was a light tomato's based sauce but it was not exactly marinara). I loved the octopus especially with hummus! And the fish which was a lot with 2 fillets of lavraki with a large portion of spinach! So yummy, we will absolutely be back and can't wait!

From what he said he experienced, it felt like the focus was less on skills or experience and more on appearances. If they're posting a job on Craigslist, maybe they could save everyone time by noting who they aren't looking for. It was quick, it was clear, and it definitely left an impression--though not the kind you hope for in an interview. It definitely felt like being black affected the experience.

    It could be spectacular!…read more Service is on point to a fault, an aspect that shouldn't be lost. Their attention to your experience and making sure you have what you need shows their commitment to hospitality. Is it Outrageous Hospitality? No, but you won't walk away complaining about service if your evening was like ours. You might, though, give four stars for a meal that was good but not incredible " you want to walk away from a meal - no matter the price - saying "that was worth it" and its hard for me to do that, in this case. Delicious scallops, but the app order is just two (we had nine people and they didn't let us know what we needed to get the job done). The Greek Salad had some of the freshest and delicious tomatoes I've had in quite some time (and, given the nature of the place, you know this has to be a dish they hit it out of the park). We joined together as a table for Lavraki and Sea Bass. The deboning and plating at the table was a nice touch, though I was disappointed in both lacking flavor. The disappointment came with the vegetable offering as the only green option - the broccolini and cauliflower - came as plain Jane as one can imagine, actually making the side a detractor from the whole dish. Would I return? I'm not against the place at all, but I'm certain I'll try other options in Midtown first.
