"Tink's is a small cute restaurant with some really nice touches. It is american food tapas style which is great for sharing and trying different dishes. I read that their pretzel fried chicken was highly recommended however, it was not my favorite of their dishes. Their tuna sliders were really tasty. The gnocci was delicious and completely fresh. If I went back I would try their mac and cheese which looked delicious and was recommended as well. They have a small but nice beer and wine list. The servers are really friendly. Overall it was a great experience. The restaurant was a little warm but other than that it was delicious and i would go back."

"Ate here on a Friday evening as a couple, as part of our on-going tour round the East Village Eateries.
Food was really great - some good original dishes, and all delicious,
Service was good, friendly and genuine.
Will be back. It's a particulary good spot to go with a small group of 4+, as you can try more dishes that way - though check ahead as it is a small place."

"Tinks is a really small and cozy restaurant. The night I was there was a Thursday a an acoustic musician was setting up. Usually I think this is a bad sign because it might be too loud or in a small place, it may be hard to focus on your dinner conversation in a setting that small. Neither were the case. The music was a great touch and added to that intimate atmosphere. The food was delicious. We ordered 4 plates between the two of us- we are both women and it was plenty. When I bring my husband, I will order an extra. The pretzel fried chicken was awesome and a definite repeat. The Angus were ordered medium and came out perfectly."

"Yes, this place is tiny. Yes, we made endless Peter Pan references. However, the food was amazing! I came on a Tuesday night with my family and friends and everyone had a great time. I had the gnocchi and lobster pot pie and will be dreaming about both for weeks. Overall, Tink's is a tiny gem with charming decor and delicious food."

"I've been to Tinks for brunch twice now, and it is not to be missed. The french toast bread pudding is one of the best brunch foods I've ever had, and the pretzel chicken and waffles are excellent. I've also had the grown-up grilled cheese, which is quite good, but not as novel and delicious as the french toast.
The restaurant generally has open seats, but you may as well make a reservation to guarantee a spot. In addition to being delicious, one of the best parts of Tinks is that you can get a table without waiting an hour."

"I was looking for a place that would accomodate a group of 7 and Tink's had the reservation and space for 7 people. Even if Open Table doesnt show a certain reservation time, you should still call them up because they might still be able to seat you and accomodate you. The music in this place is really good and its a place that I would love to go on a date at. The food can all be shared, but we opted to each get 2 dishes of our own.The food was really delicious and you will have a great time! The place is quite cozy, but fun :)"

"A small local neighborhood gem, Tink's is a great place for ordering multiple tapas and sharing. Had enough variety to satisfy the carnivores and vegetarian amongst us. Service was great, live music hit the spot, we would definitely come back."

"Tink's serves American tapas, a novel concept and quite well executed. I brought my parents and family friends here and everyone enjoyed themselves on the Mac and cheese, sliders, pork belly, grilled cheese, pretzel chicken... Basically everything was delicious and served so cute (cast iron skillets all around). The service was attentive but not suffocating and the flair with the check (they give it to you tucked in a book) was absolutely charming."

"We reserved a table for a group of six and everything went smoothly and everyone left happy.The brunch selection was amazing! Chicken and waffles, French toast bread pudding with bacon maple syrup - OMG! Yum! Not only was the food delicious the staff was on top of their game - super nice, helpful, ninja-like water refills skills, and we felt welcomed and not rushed. I will be coming back here!"

"It won't be long before the secret is out about this diminutive East Village dining spot. This was my third visit to Tink's. So far, nothing has disappointed. Southern-inspired dishes are given a chef's creative interpretation to delightful results. Some standouts are the shrimp and grits--rich and creamy; pretzel-fried chicken and waffles--a perfect balance of savory and sweet; the charcuterie plate--mmmm mmm... paté. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, attentive but not overly so, and they never make you chase them down for the check. I'll be back."

"Innovative menu, cozy, intimate little space, very friendly staff. Be warned, though, the plates are very small, even for small plates. My boyfriend and I started out with three between us but ended up getting a fourth--partially because it looked so good, but also because we were still hungry. But four plates and a few delicious beers were perfect for filling us up. The lobster pot pie is particularly fabulous/filling if you're on the hungrier side. We'll definitely be back to try the other cool dishes that we didn't get the first time!"
