First time visit and was not disappointed with the food. Very interesting shared plates with some fantastic flavours and combinations. The bonbon Oxtail was a standout along with the chargrilled honey chicken. All the dishes were good.

Very friendly staff that took the time to discuss the menu was great the only issue was it looked like they were short staffed and at times was more difficult to get their attention.

Overall nice wine list and cocktail selection and we would definately come back.

I recently discovered this gem of a restaurant when a friend and I went there for a pre-Christmas catch-up. From the moment we arrived we were treated like old friends and Dante, our host, even created a cocktail especially for us! The food is authentic Catalan cuisine, prepared with the kind of love that takes time and expertise and is there in every bite. The pulpo and gambon were succulent and satisfying and the menu of small bites and tapas is irresistible so we sampled four or five which were all amazing. The place has a great wine list so if I don't have time for a full dinner, next time I'll just drop by for a drink and tapas. My thanks to the friendly staff who looked after us so well.

Great Spanish Restaurant with delicious food.
The only critic I have is that the Paella portion is really small. It’s not a 2 person portion. We got the lobster & calamari paella and despite being really good, it was not enough for 2 of us (considering the very high price: $55 per person).

Terrible experience. Overpriced and tiny portions. The paella at $82 for two, was horrible, too salty and the seafood taste stays in your moth like forever. I brought this to the attention of the manager, I told them we couldn’t eat that, as it was pretty bad. This was an opportunity to turn a negative situation into a positive experience for us, the customers. Unfortunately, they couldn’t care less. They could have offered us to swap for another meal, but they would not do this. End of story, we had to go have dinner somewhere else. I’m not coming but or recommending is place.

We had a lovely Sunday evening dining in. Atmosphere and live music preformed by duet was fabulous. Our wait staff was super helpful and accommodating.
We shared Tapas which we really enjoyed. We ordered Paellas which were nice but we thought a little expensive. Overall we enjoyed our evening

First, foods are very nice. We ordered the Squid Ink Paella, but it was out of stock. The manager has offered us a free Seafood Paella to replace. Service is great. Worth to try.

Cute little wine bar. Great vibes. Food was a bit on the pricy side but quite good. Would definitely go back.

Good food, ambience and service at Tinto, enjoyed with a nice glass of Tempranillo. My wife who has been here a few times, says that this place is consistently good. Was my first time. Looking forward to returning again.

TLDR: savoury dishes fine, dessert bad, service levels poor, nice ambience

Full review: work team dinner event so we were on the set menu. The wait staff kept track of my allergy well though they kept losing track of who the vegetarians were. Everyone except me enjoyed their entrees and main. The vegetarian dishes were apparently also good. I just got different types of fried meat and potatoes for both entree and main, and usually without any sauce or flavouring so it was quite plain and boring. This brought the restaurant to 3 stars to me but this wasn't the issue that brought them down to 2 stars.

Biggest blunders both happened to be related to service.

1. The set menu did not quite provide enough food per person. When the director went to order additional dishes, he was told by the wait staff he wasn't allowed to. This was even after the director clarified he intended to pay for the extra food. It took a while, and some arguing, before management clarified with the waiter that we're allowed to order extra dishes on top of the set menu

2. When the mains came out, the waiter uncannily placed the meatballs in front each of the vegetarians. When we told him that they were vegetarians, he said that the meatballs were share dishes. It was only when he was challenged on this that he went to check and came back to tell us they were mains per person.

The churros were also a disappointment to everyone who selected it from the set menu. They weren't quite crispy on the outside and the dough on the inside wasn't quite cooked through. There was also barely any cinnamon and sugar on them. The accompanying chocolate sauce was fine though. No one commented on the cake.

Thank you so much for the lovely dinner and warm, attentive service — and for sending me the bill docket that I forgot to take! Will be back soon:)

Massive kudos for the wine selection here and the staff were lovely. Unfortunately, the tapas and paella are probably of the same quality that you would find at a much better priced and better portioned tapas bar. We loved the ambience but some Spanish music would be much better suited.

Great Catalán tapas restaurant Bar with great selection of wine. The sparking sangria was marvellous.

Outstanding service by the senior staff. But the food was pretty average given the price. Paella was too salty while the cauliflower was bland. The only dishes we like were entrees: fried calamari and prawn.

Is probably one of the worst restaurant I have ever tried. The portions were too small and no flavor. We got a tortilla española and it was dry and re-heated in the microwave. Very disappointed

I will not come back! No flavour, expensive, small portions. I asked for the bill and I went to eat in another restaurant. The service is good but I feel that I lost my money.

Beautiful Authentic Spanish Food.
Easy to find & park. Great tasting food & lots of variety. You won't leave hungry. Service is friendly, quick & helpful. If your after a romantic atmosphere or just a great place to hang out with friends.it caters for both. Highly Recommend. Can't wait to go back. Gracias a todos.

Delicious traditional Spanish cuisine, expertly prepared and presented.
Friendly and helpful staff. Got a great suggestion from Paola that we might be initially ordering too much. So we had a perfect dinner with tortilla patatas, ensalada de coliflor, paella pollo chorizo, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago. Beautifully decorated restaurant. Would love to have some soft background Spanish guitar music.
