Tinos Kitchen + Bar

If you’re thinking of eating here just do it!!
One of our favorite food spots, and love the outdoor seating, so we had to celebrate our anniversary here! Both me and my husband our vegetarian, but I just started to introduce salmon and am very very picky and man their grill salmon does not disappoint! Started with their warm feta dip (a staple) & manchego fritters (the raspberry jalapeño jelly was perfect w/it)! I had the grilled salmon with courgette fritters, and green beans over a Chardonnay sauce that melted so perfect together. Husband had the pumpkin ravioli with hazelnuts, figs & brown butter sauce. A seasonal add on but man would I recommend that for any day! And topped it of w/ Prosecco and their delicious chocolate cake. All around amazing food and service this time and everytime we come. A yummy must!

I enjoyed the meze board, as well as the bison meatball. They were both delicious! Very friendly staff, service was on point. Mike was a great bartender. Awesome atmosphere with an open kitchen.

Really great place for a date! The decor is nice, and the food is spectacular. My absolute favorite was the octopus appetizer, which came with this creamy sauce and delicious mushrooms, and it wasn't rubbery at all, as most places make it! The oysters were spot on. Of the entrees, I really enjoyed the lamb shank- it was so tender and fell off the bone. It paired really well with the mint yoghurt sauce it came with. I only wish it came with a bit more sides. The seafood pasta was also great, the mussels were so delicious! Naturally, we ordered dessert, and the chocolate pot was amazing, it's like chocolate mousse with a dollop of creme on top, very chocolatey and smooth.

The service was great and prompt, and the wine pours were generous. Would definitely come back here again!

Date night found us going south again to a restaurant we had never been to before for dinner. This night our focus was on Tinos Kitchen + Bar at 325 Lafayette Rd in Hampton.

I'm glad we had reservations because the place was packed when we arrived and were seated at our table. We began looking over the menus and taking in the view from our table(Pics 1-3). Gotta tell you, they're pretty cool, right? Our waiter Collin took our order for drinks. He brought us a bottle of sparkling San Pellegrino, some cranberry juice for mixing, a plate of lime wedges and he also brought us a bread basket(Pic 4).

For our appetizer we ordered the Meze Plate(Pic 5). This included house-made hummus, tzatziki, roasted almonds, olives, Tinos meatballs, spanakopita, manchego, pita and lavash. We also chose as an add-on, the warm feta dip(this is a "must"!!!). There was a lot of food to this app. The meatballs were packed with so much flavor and the feta dip was other worldly. Your taste buds don't take a break by any stretch in this entire dish. Everything was just fantastic!!!

For dinner, we selected the Chicken Kebab(Pic 6) to share. This entree had Greek Rice, village salad and tzatziki in addition to a skewer of chicken. Every piece of that chicken was perfectly moist and tender and had great flavor. The village salad had strips of cucumber, red onions, tomato, olives and feta. The dressing it was tossed with was light and very refreshing. Everything was amazing.

For dessert, we each ordered our own. My wife chose the Chocolate Pot De Creme(Pic 7). It was pure chocolate goodness. Great flavor and not heavy in the least. I ordered the Orange Blossom Milk Pie(Pic 8). This was matching custard cups topped with a blood orange ginger sauce with crushed pistachios. It too was very light and the sauce was a perfect accompaniment to a uniquely different dessert. I would definitely order it again in a heartbeat.

We are so glad we made the trip to Tinos. The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff is friendly and provide fantastic service. Collin took care of us extremely well. The food is amazing and the selection of offerings is extensive. We will definitely be making a return trip. If you haven't been or haven't been in a while, it's time. Make your reservation and make the trip to Tinos Kitchen + Bar. You'll be glad you did.

Dine on!

We just moved to the area and heard about Tino’s in a Facebook group we decided to give it a try. *Note it’s on the second floor*
My husband and I had the absolute best meal of our lives! The chef is from Holland and French trained the food represents that!

Here’s what I recommend - Halyard Brewing company Hibiscus Lime Ginger Beer a little refreshing drink to start your evening.
For an appetizer either the beef carpaccio or the slow braised octopus don’t be afraid to try the octopus the meat is delicate and tender not rubbery like calamari is.
Main entrée my favorite is the Steak medium rare.
My husband tried the lamb shank and it was so delicious I wanted to swap plates and lick it clean.

We’ve tried the pan seared cod delicious, pan seared half chicken and the Scallops and bone marrow. All of them delicious! You really can’t go wrong with any of these choices.

Save room for either the white chocolate crème brûlée or the chocolate pot de crème. However why choose? Just order both!

This our absolute favorite restaurant and we can’t recommend it enough!

Never knew of this restaurant until I did a google search yesterday. What a beautiful surprise in Hampton!
Such a cozy atmosphere, love the design, presentation of food and our server, Carmel was the icing on the cake! She was so sweet and fun to converse with she really made the whole night that much nicer.
We wil definitely be back!

We had a reservation at another local restaurant ( near the highway) A special occasion. Arrived 5 minutes before our reservation. Kept telling us our table not ready. People walking in & being seated. We left after 25 minutes. Went to
Tiano’s. Had a wonderful experience. Seated right away, excellent service, great cocktails & delicious food. Will definitely go back!😋😋

Tinos is one of my all time fav restaurants and I’ve lived all over the world and been to many many wonderful restaurants. The mangers, hostess and waitstaff are very attentive to people’s requests from seating arrangements to allergies. The chefs are diverse in menu choices using only the seasonal best. They all work as a conducive team.

Great dining experience but next time I will request a different table because there was a music speaker right over us and my dining companion wears hearing aids. Not a good combo. We ordered only 6 oysters and received 12. I was grateful it was buck a shuck night or I would have complained about the incorrect order. Unfortunately, I developed GI issues the next a.m. that I attribute to the oysters, so I would skip those next time. I hadn't had raw oysters in years and my GI system probably wasn't used to them. I don't think there was anything wrong with them.

Forgot I even existed. Call the half an hour ahead of time. She told me to arrive in 15 minutes. I sat there for 45 minutes watching the absolute confusion of the world's youngest hostess. There was a older lady there you could tell she was management. You should never leave a child to do an adult's job. Absolutely useless to leave a child to do a job that you know. She would have to leave the front area consistently to come back to ask you questions. And then when the management does come in there is no remorse. There is no apologies for a party of five who booked online for reservation. This is what I observed while I was waiting for my takeout order. The poor girl had no idea how to handle the customers at all. They were not disrupted. They were not obtrusive. They were not mean to her at all. They were very kindly asking her and they were showing on her on their phone that there was a reservation. These people come there all the time. The whole entire 25 minute fiasco. All they had to do was find the party of five a new table. The place was not packed. It was very quiet evening after making these poor people understand after 25 minutes of waiting to be told. Will try to find you another table instead of doing that. The very first 5 minutes they realized before the young hostess had to go get the supervisor. The young hostess should just know if there isn't a reservation, look around the restaurant for a party of five table and give it to the customers who are standing there instead of allowing all the seated people that were seated in the area. All the people that were coming in to pick up food instead of allowing the party of five to congest in the front area instead of moving the party of five over to the bar for free complementary drink because tino's kitchen really messed up on their online seating arrangements. It was not the customer's fault. It was not anyone's fault except for confirmation from the head hostess station the night before. Just like every other normal restaurant does calls ahead to make sure they want the reservation so they're not wasting the waitresses time. I am a pure-blooded Greek and I have been in the restaurant business 53 years I have seen more stupid things happen in my time. I have worked with the front of the house to the back of the house, but this poor young girl should not have never had this job. I don't know who trained her but she was not trained. She had no idea to how even to look up a reservation and how to handle customers. The way I was handled was I came in to pick up my takeout order. She could not find my slip. She went out back five different times to find my slip all five times. Not saying a word to me. I sat in the corner and observed it was an absolute mess. I almost got up and walked away but I was really hungry now when I got my food. Please teach your head hostess and anybody who answers the phone that takes orders. How to say the Greek appetizers correctly. A customer should never have to teach any employee that is working inside of a Greek restaurant. How to say the words in Greek. I should be an automatic part of training. I should have known when the person did not know what I was talking about on the phone that there was a bad idea to place an order. But for what I observed on how you allow that young girl by throwing her to the wolves on a fri night and she had absolutely no idea how to handle it. I personally have worked in the restaurant business all of my life and you do not send a young girl to do the job of an older woman. Someone who is seasoned and trained properly of how to handle customers and also how to handle their employees. The young girl tried her very best. The very best that she could. She was nervous. She was upset because the customers were upset. She did not know how to say or explain to them what was going on. Except for saying constantly we don't have a reservation. I don't know what to do with you. The fault places upon the ownership and that person who trained her. Taziki is phenomenal for the price of the food it's not worth it

Always comfortable, servers are attentive, food melts in your mouth, cocktails are top notch. We celebrate every holiday here.

Absolutely fantastic. Incredible service. Best tuna I have ever had in my life. Bison meatballs we're perfection. And due to shellfish allergies my steak was topped with beef short rib. Heavenly

I had the broiled Fresh Haddock with Brussel sprouts and steak fries as sides.

Throughly enjoyed the entree and sides, everything was cooked perfectly and the atmosphere was great as well.

Definitely good to see restaurants opening back up after this pandemic.

Enjoyed lunch on the patio. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. We ordered oysters, baked feta and calamari. All were well done as were our drinks. We will definitely be back.

Love the atmosphere especially the outside deck with the fireplace.
Service was really on point. They really know their cocktails. Food was so yummy. We will definitely be going back!

Last evening, I took my wife out to dinner for her birthday. I have to say it was better than expected. Not just a dinner, but an experience. Thank you to John Tinios for recommending that we eat at Tino's Kitchen in Hampton. We ate the Chef's Table and highly recommend it. The service was fantastic but the chef really topped it all off. Jill, the manager, helped with the meal planning in advance and offered to do wine pairing. Keeping things simple, we only chose the entree's protein and let the chef get creative with everything else. Kaz had a filet mignon and I had salmon. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff was super positive and welcoming. For 2 hours we were served amazing surprises of appetizer courses that were absolutely delicious and so we'll presented, followed by the main course and then dessert. Everything made fresh, from scratch, and right before our eyes as we had a view into the open-style kitchen from our seats and the pleasure of watching the master chef in action all night. I really can't rave enough about the entire experience from the moment John contacted me through working with Jill to plan the meals and then how well the staff catered to our every need and desire. If you want a truly special evening out, then book the Chef's Table at Tino's Kitchen. I wish I had taken more photos, but the food just coming and coming...

This place is amazing. Excellent service, food & drinks! Ambiance too! We had a party of about 14 people and everyone had a great time - each person loved their food and drinks while also enjoying the friendly staff. Karen was great, and the manager Jillian was super helpful and checked in on us to make sure everything went ok. We will be back for sure!

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Had the rocking Rye specialty drink that comes with a rock candy stirrer. Also got the calamari which was fantastic. Will definitely coming back again

Amazing diner served by GJ. Spot on steak. Perfect service in the restaurant and at the bar. Wonderful staff.

The Zucchini blossoms were like something I have never had. Incredible. The meatballs. Incredible. The wine list was extensive and the knowledge that the waiter had about the wine and food was sharp. Finally, the Cod was unreal.
