We came for drinks in the afternoon and the place was crowded, but in a cozy way. We had some great tasting cocktails, of which the mezcal espresso martini is highly recommended!The staff that served us was friendly. However, the young woman who seated us was very moody, not smiling and did not look happy with what she was doing. Maybe it was the rain outside that made her feel that way, but the fact that she was the first point of contact upon entering made the experience just a little less enjoyable.The place has a nice vibe and is clean.

Kind of pricey, but you get what you pay for! They have a cheaper menu for brunch then they do for later lunch and dinner! Just a heads up, but all their food is stellar and they honestly have better things on their menu and the later afternoon and evening menu. But their hummus plate was literally one of the best I’ve ever had was pretty blown a little bit understaffed but that’s not their fault, that was working extremely helpful and super apologetics they were being. The place is packed, which just goes to show how delicious all the food is and honestly the atmosphere is incredible too!

I just had wine and a charcuterie board with my partner last night but the service was very very nice. We had a super friendly server Armando. So attentive, anticipated to what we needed and fast! The hostess was also very sweet, she sat us just at the table that we wanted and said goodbye from the distance when we left.

Busy place with good vibe in a Friday night. Beautiful setting both indoor and outdoor. My Espresso martini was average and the grilled octopus was over grilled. The linguine vongole was surprisingly delicious.

This bar is an absolute pleasure to spend time in. The staff/bartenders are caring and really want you to enjoy your experience especially Katie and ashlee. I will give this bar a 10/10 every day of the week

Obsessed with Rintintin! Trendy vibrant vibe, delicious food presented with flair, and craft cocktails - their margarita is a must-try! Friendly top-notch service by attentive staff. Has become my go-to spot - cant wait to come back!

Really fun spot on a busy corner.. sat outside and had a delightful time people watching. Cocktails were good! Service was a bit slow to start.. got some fried artichoke as a snack and was huge! Defo recommend for a pre dinner spot.

Found this spot after walking around the area for a bit. It has a casual vibe which is what we were looking for after a couple drinks.My only qualms were that I waited maybe 20 minutes before I had to get up and ask if anyone was serving people. The staff was a bit busy flirting or sitting down elsewhere. I don’t mind people relaxing, but c’mon.

Great Vibe but the food was a bit bland and boring. Got the Hugo Spritz it was too sweet. Charred Octopus has great texture but no flavor. Branzino was flavorless. Strip Steak was fine but its steak ya know? Au Poivre Sauce was nice.Food wasnt bad but felt worse than what I could make at home.People next to us had the Greek Salad and charcuterie board which looked really good.So might be a good snack and wine spot

Absolute gem tucked away on the quieter part of Spring St! This little eatery boast of all the charm and character that you would find at a spot in Mykonos. The food has excellent presentation and the flavors are so well balanced! Loved the whole lobster, lamb chops & burrata!What really made our experience incredible was their Maitre’D, he went above and beyond to accommodate us, gave us recommendations around the city & just overall took such great care of us, this level of attention can be hard to find in NYC’s food scene.I cannot recommend Rintintin enough!!

I would definitely recommend stopping in here for dinner and a few drinks. The wife and I walked in without a reservation and got lucky to be seated instantly. The atmosphere here is very fun, and you can tell the staff enjoyed their jobs. They provided great food and recommendations. We had the Tajine and the Lamb Burger (w/Brussels sprouts instead of fries). Both meals were very good. The portions were perfect.My wife was pregnant at the time so the bartender whipped up an amazing non-alcoholic drink to go with her meal. My maple old fashioned was very good. All said, we had 2 great meals and a couple drinks for

I will NEVER return here after todays experience. While my first visit with my sister was amazing, this subsequent visit has revealed major issues with both SERVICE (!) and food quality (i.e., pricing).It was raining, and my friend and I wanted to get lychee martinis. Upon arrival, the hostess (a foreign-sounding woman, maybe french, about 57 with curly black hair) asked if we had a reservation. When we said no, she wordlessly walked us OUTSIDE and expected us to sit on wet chairs. She didnt offer to seat us in the dry area under the roof, nor did she mention that only outside seating was available - despite the pouring rain and ample room inside.When I brought this up, she dismissively said, Well, yeah, its raining, as if I were stupid. The whole interaction felt uncomfortable, especially as my friend and I are Black and Brown women, and this lady kept eyeing us up and down suspiciously. We decided to give it a chance and waited 15 minutes at our table in the rain for service, but NO ONE came. We ultimately left without being served.The food quality doesnt justify the high prices - expect to spend over $100 for two people on mediocre dishes. If youre looking for an expensive meal, there are far better options elsewhere. The staff is abrasive, potentially racist, and rude. If you are a woman of color, save yourself the humiliation and go elsewhere. This place doesnt deserve your time or money.

This place is alright. Our table was definitely too small for all the plates, not enough space to “dig in”. Food was alright, we expected the service to be a bit above average. We waited long for them to take our orders.MNP

Review №18

Vibe was cool; food was good; service was less than attentive. My main sticking point is charging $5 for bitters - pretty wild. I’ve never been charged extra for this anywhere else. It’s pretty ridiculous that my club soda/bitters was more expensive than the Athletic non-alc beer.

Review №19

The Ginger Pear Martini is refreshingly cool on a hot day. All the guilt of liver damage goes away as the taste of pears and lemons passes over the gum. Place has a “planty” homely Cuban feel. If that makes sense. Didn’t feel out of place in my crispy ironed Variant t-shirt. I’ll come back if I’m in the area and want to pregame.

I come here all the time for drink after work and today I stop by and kindly asked to use the bathroom. One of the staff members let me and on my way back was pressuring me to buy something. My boyfriend was outside waiting for me and I told the employee that I’ll ask him to pay. He became rude asking me inappropriate questions like “who’s your boyfriend? I definitely didn’t expect that. I hope the management takes this into consideration.

Went for a simple week night dinner with my boyfriend. The gentleman managing the floor welcomed us warmly inside the restaurant. We decided to stay. A lot of basics were missed, the server didn’t introduce herself, she wasn’t going out of her way to perform customer service, but the food was incredible- the lobster endive salad and the octopus was spot on. The drinks sucked- don’t get them. Pretty basic for a $100 meal nothing that would make me return.

Review №29

The food here is generally quite good. Prices are absurd, but not unusual for Soho. The service was okay, but a few orders were forgotten, and the food did take quite a while to come out. The menu is a bit confusing, and is semi-mediterranean/middle eastern while still not committing to the theme? The Tagine was good, but quite different to the normal Moroccan version. Personally I would not return, but it’s worth giving a try for a nice dinner!

Review №38

Spent around 90 dollars at the bar bc we were told “20 minute wait” after over an hour they kicked us out of the bar bc we weren’t purchasing enough drinks and wanted us to wait outside in the cold. The only mistake we made was believing them - the other reviews in this site seem to reflect a similar level of service - so not sure what I was expecting. Next time, quote a realistic time, or deal with 3 people not trying to get shit faced at your bar while the bartender gives conspicuous signals to the hostess to get rid of us.

A creative and yummy Mediterranean fusion restaurant. A solid choice for an evening with friends and was fairly affordable for a nice NYC dinnerWe were easily able to snag a table for 3 on a Friday evening. The staff were fun, courteous, and had an energetic vibe. They easily helped make gluten intolerant substitutions.The outdoor and indoor seating are creatively decorated with bright Mediterranean inspired patterns.Must try the crispy artichoke hearts - I don’t like artichoke normally and these literally tasted like fries, but healthy. So good! I also recommend the crudo, it’s small and light but has a refreshing olive oil and fresh herb flavor.The burger and fish kebab are great choices too.

This is maybe the best brunch Ive had in New York City, no joke. Staff is incredibly friendly and sat us at the bar without a reservation without any issue. Food is truly truly incredible, the bartender we had (didnt get his name unfortunately) was super helpful and kind and made some great recommendations. If you can get a reservation I would highly highly recommend this place.

Went here around 5pm for the first time and they had the World Cup playing. I think that’s a good time to go as it wasn’t as packed but still cozy. It was a fun time- they make a solid espresso martini (bless the bartenders who probably have to make hundreds a day). The mezze is great and not basic and the calamari pretty delightful. I never hang out in soho but glad I finally found out what this place is about.

The lamb chops were just divine! No idea what magic is in the mustard sauce, but it was just heaven. We also really enjoyed their take on churros with a smooth buttery side of caramel sauce sauce or fresh vanilla ice cream. The chicken kabobs were tender and well seasoned, and the herbed spinach couscous was just a comfort spiced delight. Absolutely will return.

We sat at the bar just before they closed the kitchen on a Wednesday night. The mezze platter and calamari were delicious. The very sweet bartender recommended the chilled gamay, and while I’m not typically a fan of this varietal, it was very good and refreshing on a hot night. We will be back on the next visit!

Came here for a late dinner with some friends. Even at 11p on a Tuesday, this place was popping. We were a group of 8 but were able to find seating in the back. The tables were nice and set up well, so we could all interact and chat throughout the dinner.The food came quickly and was pretty great. The place had a nice vibe to it in a cool part of town.

Review №64

Aref, genesis, Malik Made my night wonderful! I usually don’t send anything back but I decided to be brave and order a hot drink with bourbon that was definitely not for me, and a margarita that was just to spicy for me. They had no problem taking it back and allowing me to order another drink and from being in the industry myself I know that is such an annoyance. Even after apologizing too much they had no problem and treated me with the best service and attitude even with covid going on. Not once did I have to ask for water to be refilled, and they constantly came back to the table to make sure everything was ok and to see if we needed anything at all. Wonderful experience and will definitely be back again for the happy and positive attitude from everyone that works here! Highly recommend the Tzatziki platter and the meat and cheese board, as well at the espresso martinis!

Review №65

Most absurd, disgusting restaurant experience I’ve had in my life.So we booked a table for 4, for 7.30 pm. Half the party arrived at 7.30, but the manager refused to seat us before the whole party arrived. We offered to order food & drinks for the whole party beforehand. When the remaining 2 people arrived - 5 minutes later - the manager refused to seat us because we were “late”. He turned us away and shoved us out of the restaurant; nearly pushing my sister.we could not get an explanation for why we were thrown out of the restaurant, despite having a reservation, besides the fact that two of us were 5 min late.We’re still in shock from this inexplicable behaviour

A part of me doesnt want to put 5 stars here so people dont go here but I have to give respect to an establishment when its due.The restaurant gave classic NY Vibes and NY feels..if you are a New Yorker or know whats it means to be a regular you will love this placeFirst time coming to this place and I felt Ive been coming here for years.The main reason to go here :Antonetta ( so sorry if I spelled the name wrong) . She welcomed me with open arms and offered the guidance only a bestie could give...if you know you know.The food : I mean its midnight and I want a second dinner. Foi Gras Yes , Octopus yes, Marscopone Mash Potatoes Hell Yes.The cocktails; I particularly loved the Juniper Blossom - It gave you all the components of a great drink without anything being overpowering.Wine List here is a solid, ecclectic and the staff knew how to present it in a way that translates the pairing to the dish itself.Shot out to the wonderful bartenders, hostess and Anna !Everything about this place screamed me to become a barfly!

So disappointed. Any request was too much. They made a mistake with a drink but refused to change it...and it was such a tiny little effort, such a shame and created a bad vibe. Especially the hostess, very bad vibes. The bad vibes and refuse of requests kept going on and then they dared to come ask why we didn’t leave a tip. Like...how do you even dare? We were a bit group, ordered lots of foods and willing to enjoy and ofcs leave a good tip but this was absurd. Terrible

We had a very disappointing experience with the hostess tonight, who treated us in a xenophobic manner when we tried to get a table. She was rude, prioritized someone else before us, and when we pointed out the issue, she removed that person but then told us we wouldn’t be seated at all. If you’re a tourist visiting from outside the U.S., I recommend avoiding this place. It’s disheartening to see exclusionary behavior, especially from someone in a position to welcome others

Amazing spot for dinner and drinks. We came here for a girls night out and the food and drinks were excellent. The mezze plate and zucchini chips are particularly noteworthy.

Went here with my girlfriends for dinner last night and the food was all fantastic. The space is beautiful and relaxing.I would give the bar a 4 star though because I like to order a glass of red wine and a few of the red wines that they serve by the glass were not available and these happened to be the more moderately priced reds. It would have been really nice if they updated the bar menu, or if they were able to replace it with a similarly priced cabernet or tempranillo.Overall though I found it easy to make a reservation here and the serves were great.Also I had the chicken tagine and it was delicious. I would recommend it to anyone!

Not at all what it used to be, you would come here years ago and deal with the inattentive service because the food and drinks were good but not the food has certainly taken a hit and service, if this is even possible, is worse.

I recently visited RinTinTin, an unassuming bar-restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Initially, the place felt more like a sports bar, with the Copa showing on the TV and patrons at the bar engrossed in the soccer match. However, the inviting atmosphere and accommodating service quickly stood out.Our waiter was exceptionally friendly and handled our large group with ease. The food was freshly made, inviting, and delicious. I ordered a simple cheeseburger with fries, and both exceeded my expectations. The hand-cut fries were absolutely divine, and the burger, made exactly as I requested, came with a fresh bun and was perfectly cooked. The meat was fresh and flavorful, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Albeit the prices are high—$19 just for a burger—it was worth it for the freshness and flavor. This was a nice treat.My friend ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes, and the portion was filling and well-prepared. Our table included vegetarians who enjoyed the vegetarian lasagna, a dish that was equally well-received.Overall, the food and ambiance at RinTinTin were excellent. The only downside was that the seats we were assigned had crumbs left over from previous guests. A thorough cleaning of the cushioned couches would enhance the overall experience. Despite this minor issue, we had a wonderful time, and I highly recommend RinTinTin for its great food and friendly service.

As someone who eats Mediterranean food daily, I didn’t quite think the food was Mediterranean. They don’t have too many options and the food tasted just ok. The service was disorganized, I still don’t know who our server was because multiple people came and went. The girl who took our payment at the end tried to make up for the lacking service with a joke and compliments. Also said she “didn’t think they could do split checks”. First restaurant experience that can’t do split checks.Overall, wouldn’t recommend nor come back. Average experience for above average prices

Good spot for casual dinner. The starters are great, especially the mezze and charcuterie board. Had the paella which was fine, churros for dessert. Churros we’re tad overcooked. Interesting suggestion of unconventional cocktails but also serve off the menu drinks like Moscow mule.

Perhaps it was a bad day for them? I would like to think you would not usually treat customers so poorly. The attitude was terrible, I guess stemming from what appeared to be the ego centric “manager” who appeared to be more interested in being macho then serving customers…… I will not be back!

What the hell was happening here today? Service was woefully under par. Had to wait ages for service. We ordered a bottle of wine that took ages to come, then we lost our server and asked for the check. Again no server to collect the signed check. I like the food and location but they need to sharpen up on looking after their customers.

Went yesterday for a late lunch/pre dinner. The crudo was great! Beautifully plated and full of different yet complimentary flavors. Honestly only came cause I was attracted to the outside seating, but staff was hesitant to let me sit as I was a solo diner. Staff was also inattentive and pushy. Server didn’t know what a wine spritzer was. After my meal sat for awhile before anyone came to clear the table, ask if I wanted anything else, or present the check. Which was confusing cause how are you going to rush me and then not be attentive? Ended up going inside to use the restroom and asking for the check. Had to go back inside to pay, even tho the server had a portable toast machine. Whilst paying I noticed that the toast machine had 20% tip automatically selected so the server just told me to sign. if it wasn’t set up that way I would’ve paid for the food only. Didn’t make a deal about it cause I just won’t go back. Server also didn’t want to give the guy next to me his change (he only had a sparkling water). He told me they lost the tip when they decided to rush him (understandable). Seem stingy for tips here, but just have better service. Most people will gladly tip if service is just par. Especially for the price of things, service should be better.

Ive been here sporadically every couple years since it opened and at first thought it unjustly charged for overpriced for drinks but Ive warmed up to the spot. The drink prices are slightly higher than expected but the cocktails are good (get the cucumber julep) and the Feta dish with pepperoncini is amazing! They also do coffee & espresso in the mornings as well

I live local, have worked in the restaurant industry, and both my parents were GMs in the city so lets baseline there. This place is a decent neighborhood spot for the most part. Drinks arent special but a few of the bartenders are lovely and do well with the basics. Same regarding the food (some things are great, any of the things that are fried are sometimes cooked at the wrong temp and end up just being greasy). The interior is the same, its pretty nice. This review should be a solid 4.5 but the service drags everything down.Unfortunately there is one woman behind the bar on the weekend nights who is ATROCIOUS. I have no idea how this lady works the weekend shifts. If this was a one-off I wouldnt say anything, but this bartender is a repeat offender; Shes rude, makes mediocre drinks, is stingy with the ice, ignores you when you order, God forbid you ask for a glass of water with your drinks. She also adds things to the bill that were never ordered (has happened several times. not sure is she does this bc ppl get pretty drunk but some of us arent wasted and we can read the bill). Not sure how this type of person got the weekend shift.One person ruining a decent operation isnt worth it. Decent personable bartenders (esp on the weekend) add to the vibe. I understand all too well that some bridge-and-tunnel ppl get rude , wasted and annoying, and ok thats when a bartenders annoyance and rudeness is justified, but this lady is just rude for no reason. She makes bad drinks too.There are other solid bartenders during the week, in the day and even on the weekends. GM or owner should correct this. It shouldnt be that hard.

We went to this place on a Wednesday night after the festival in Little Italy. There were several empty tables outside so my friends got a table while I went instead to ask the hostess if it was alright we sat there. After I asked that to her, she didnt respond, but instead, rudely rushed past me and told my group that we cannot just sit down without running it past her. That is LITERALLY what I went inside to do. To ask for permission... That is how she knew we were out there in the first place...She made us get up from the table and took us around the corner and put us next to the trash bins at the last table. I politely asked whether we can sit at any of the 4 empty tables at the front. She rudely refused.I am fairly certain those tables were not under reservation, because there were plenty. If I was not with a group, I wouldve left immediately.Besides this hostess, the rest of the experience was fine. Our server was polite and very kind. I believe his name was Angel (because that is what our receipt said) but I am not sure.Though their draft beer selections are very limited.

Not pleased with the service. We went to reserve a table. Many tables were open and we even watched a table leave. We were the only people in line and were told to wait a ridiculous amount of time. When we asked for an explanation, Tiffany told us to leave. Very rude considering we were just trying to understand what the wait was for as we saw many open tables and watched many parties leave. We wouldn’t have minded the wait if given an explanation or even told in a polite manner. Very rude.

We were visiting from Toronto and looking forward to chill in one of the many fabulous New York neighbourhoods. We came upon Rintintin. As we sat down outside, we were told the kitchen was closing soon. We settled for drinks. When our daughter joined us, I got up to add a chair. However, I was stopped by management and asked whether we were planning to order any food?!??? I pointed out the obvious and was told we couldn’t add the chair to our table. We settled the bill and left. The entire experience was beyond disappointing and ridiculous. I want to point out the staff was very friendly. Unfortunately the same can’t be said about management. We would definitely not recommend this place.

If this is how the manager treats customers, I can’t imagine how he treats the staff.My friends and I were ordering at the bar for last call. The manager believed we were trying to stand at the bar with our drinks, when really we were ordering to go back to our table. He accosted, berated, and yelled at us to go back to our tables. When we expressed our utter disbelief of his treatment of us, he ran up behind us and yelled “Well if you don’t like it you can leave!” Our waiter came and gave us the check, telling us his manager wanted us out, and had sent security to standby as we left. Both the waiter and security guard were abashed, as we had been a pleasant group. I know Saturdays are busy, but as the leader of the restaurant, he must know this is poor and unacceptable behavior. You absolutely cannot treat customers, or anyone, this way. It’s not how professionals should comport themselves, especially in the service industry where the business relies on people and their experience at your establishment. I used to love Rintintin, the waiters and food are great and I have fond brunch, dinner and drink memories there from over the years. But I will not be back, and will dissuade anyone from going there in the future. I hope MGMT takes a good look at this GM, Peter, as he’s hurting the business they’ve built.

I have been here a couple of times and the drinks and food are good, and the staff is friendly. However, when I recently visited I wanted to make an order at the bar, because we werent getting served at our table for the last 45 minutes. Which I dont particularly mind, because it was a busy Saturday night. But wanting to make sure to be able to order a drink during the last call I walked up to the bar.Thats when a guy (who later happened to be the general manager) came up to me and my girlfriend in a very aggressive manner, telling us we werent allowed to stand at the bar, because we were supposedly blocking the path (which wasnt the case, we were mindful of the waiters walking past). I tried to explain to him that I understand but also I was already in the process of making an order with the bartender and that we would return to our table quickly afterwards. He then instructed the bartender to not serve us anymore, to close our bill and to let security kick us out of the place. To me this was unlike anything Ive experienced in any bar in New York. This general manager was really escalating the situation for no particular reason and interestingly the waiting staff was apologizing for his behaviour too.I am writing this review in the hopes that the people from Rintintin realize that this is not okay, and that it could hurt their business, which would be very sad. Hopefully youll do better. For now I wont be returning anytime soon to a place I used to like very much.

I LOVE this place. Food is always spot on. Well priced for the quality and creativity at dinner and brunch. My only complaint is that our brunch server seemed to have been dropped out of the sky that day. She had no menu knowledge, (what steak comes with the steak and eggs, what the sauce missing on our dish was supposed to be), and seemed to be just pushing through the shift. Also wearing raggedy short-shorts, sneakers, and a t shirt which is kind of weird for a place I’m spending $50/PP at brunch with no alcohol. But, I’m former fine dining. Maybe she was hungover, but it def detracted from what could have been absolutely perfect.
