Tapino looks like a chain restaurant, but fools you with the decent food...I went last night with my wife and family for dinner and had a really good time. Tapas lends itself to sharing and trying things that you wouldn't normally order.
I had the lobster corn dogs ( yes, they were great ) and the braised short ribs ( even better than you think ). My wife had the artichokes and mussels, which were both well done. In a myriad laps, the plates that came by included escargot ( great ! ), pork kabobs ( awesome ), foie gras ( good ), pommes frittes ( a bit soggy, but good ), and
risotto ( undercooked ). The creme brulee was marvelous...
Everything was decently priced and the service was fair...
I would go back again and grab a bite at the bar and do a happy hour thing. Like I said earlier, looks like a chain version of a much smaller place..Good food, fair prices, but could stand to maybe be in a space half its size...
