TINOS, Greek Island
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Owner, John Tinios and his late father Mike Tinios, a Greek immigrant with close ties to the island of Tinos, shared dreams of opening a restaurant reflective of their roots. Tinos, a gastronomic destination with steadfast hospitality, inspired the creative flavorful food and culture that is Tinos Kitchen + Bar.

“Jill who is the hostess greeted us and made all feel comfortable and she remembered the wine we love and put it in the wine cooler. Two of us had the Yellow Fin Tuna and this dish was AMAZING. The Pork Chop was also a Super Star dish and the Lamb Shank was superb. The Chef GJ is in our opinion the best in the Northeast!!!! Great meal with four friends. This place rocks!”
