The food is amazing. The service was noticeably slow however it was Valentine's Day so that was expected. We got the charcuterie board and patatas bravas. For dessert we split the cinnamon pull apart. I had a Pisco sour and my wife had a ginger beer. Very nice spot for a evening dinner with a date or special someone.

This place is fantastic and exceeded our expectations! Great atmosphere.... although a little cramped. Food was fabulous! Service is superb. We were rushed out for other reservations coming in but we knew going in that we only had 6pm to 8pm ...so that was fair enough. Overall, I would highly recommend.

I will recommend this restaurant to anyione and every one, we had the best experience the owner went out of the way to make special item for my husband who could not have anything on the menu. From atmosphere to personalized service and you name it everything was fantastic. Thank you is a small word, we could not go out for the longest time and Tapavino made it happen and it was fabulous. GREAT!!!

Had a great birthday dinner with family and friends at Tapavino last night. Cocktails were amazing and so fun and the food was incredible. Jean-Francois took great pride in making us all the perfect cocktails according to our likes. Craft beer was also on tap. Absolutely delicious. Atmosphere is cozy. We went on a super cold evening and it was all forgotten when we stepped through the doors. There is a lot of pride taken by the co owners who do everything themselves. Customer service was top notch. Will definitely be returning and highly recommend. 👍🏼👍🏼

The appetizers were good, but the main was not great. The food was cold so they took it back a microwaved it. I had the meatballs and nothing spectacular. My wife had the Sambuca Shrimp. It was ok, but really sweet and not much for shrimp. The shrimp were a little fishy masked by the sweet sauce. I would not return.

Went here for a Christmas party but still had a good sampling of their wares. As the name suggests, this is a tapas place. First the food:
Everything from the charcuterie to hot dishes was fresh and delicious. There were cheese only boards as well as mixed fare. Lots of olives, pickled veggies, the usual. What made their boards above average was the freshness and quality/quantity. Presentation was also very pleasing to the eye.
I didn't try too much of the hot offerings but the two that I did have really stood out. The meatballs drizzled in a tomato reduction rocked and the sambucca shrimp were

This place is super unassuming. Located in a strip mall style restaurant, we visited for dinner on a Tuesday and we were the only diners the whole time we were there. Luckily the waiter was super attentive the whole time. Turns out he is also the cook and the food was delicious. The Caprese salad was the best I've ever had. I could eat it every day. The mussels and garlic shrimp are both enough for one person with the pasta and bread. Will definitely return but probably for appetizers or a small meal.

What a fantastic intimate wine and scotch bar. I have walked by this place numerous times and never noticed that it was there. But you shouldn't let that dissuade you. This is a fantastic small bar to take a few friends or a date for a casual drink.
The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. They have an excellent selection of wines scotches and other alcohols. There is only one beer tap but if that's the kind of beverage your looking for you can quickly go across the street. I will definitely be coming back when I'm in need of a good glass of wine after work.

This place has been on my list for quite awhile. Finally tried it today and was very disappointed. Our server was amazing but food was ok. We found hairs in our meatballs and the mussels were over cooked to the point it was dry and shriveled. Decided not to reorder food as we were no longer in the mood to eat after seeing the hair

Service: 10/10.
I've seen this place come up on Open Table and I've seen the Groupon floating around for sometime. Decided to check it out with my sister on a random Tuesday evening. We were the only ones in there but it was quite late by the time we went in (9pm). Greeted promptly by who we thought was the bartender/server but also turned out to be the owner and the chef! The man does it all!
Went with his wine recommendation which turned out fantastic. He knew what he was selling us. Also helped that we also know what we like to drink.
We tried the steamed mussels, the prosciutto

The service at Tapavino is so personable and such a unique experience. The first time we went to Tapavino, the food was absolutely delectable (my favourite being the meatballs). The chef and my father-in-law got to talking about true authentic Spanish foods and next thing we know we are being invited back so the chef can make us paella (an off menu item that would be made especially for us). We went back last night and sure enough the chef made us paella even though he was extremely (the restaurant was completely full). Before the dish was completely finished I was invited back into the kitchen

Really nice place, with a menu that is well thought out, and delicious wine pairings on recommendation. I can't figure out why more people don't frequent this nice establishment. It is a perfect, minimalist, intimate setting, and the service is wonderful. Skip the lame bars in the area and try somewhere original.

We came here with a Groupon. Got a reservation for 5:45 on a Friday. It was the only time available on short notice.
It was a rainy day and the ceiling was dripping in one spot into a bucket.
It's kind of small, but it has a romantic vibe. Dimly lit with candles.
There was one front guy hosting, checking coats, taking orders, serving and bar tending. There were two guys in the kitchen.
We were seating right away. We had a quick look at the menu and ordered the dolmas, Greek salad, chicken and shrimp skewers and patatas bravas. Everything was delicious, but my husband did not care for

Came here on a LivingSocial voucher during lunch hour. Was surprised (and kind of scared) to see the place deserted at 1245pm. I will chalk this up to the later lunch hour that we took....
We ordered the antipasto board ($29) and had a sandwich. The antipasto board came with some salami, prosciutto, smoked pork loin, and 3 different cheeses (a creamy feta, rosemary-olive oil edam?, and a third one that escapes me), a small dish of olives, and 4 stalks of pickled asparagus. The "dipping sauces" as advertised on the menu was a wholegrain mustard and an aioli sauce that was pretty bland

Came here with a groupon and I'm glad we did. I would have been annoyed spending full price for what we got. We had the vegetarian board and it was definitely lacking. A few paper thin sliced peices of cheese that I recognize from Costco, some hummus and strips of pita bread, canned artichoke hearts, sliced cucumber and pepper and a few Spinach and cheese puffs which I let my husband have because I felt guilty eating any. It definitely needs some work for $29. Even just some olives and bread. We ordered it with the patatas bravas which I found bland and there was no salt or pepper on the table
