    Quite a tasty selection of Tapas with a extensive wine selection. The chorizo, calamari and fish croquettes were highlights for me. The Viognier by the glass was fantastic also.

    Very tasty delectable choices to eat from the brunch menu as well as the regular dinner menu. A tad pricey for the small portions that they offer

    I was waiting for a solo table at the Oysterette around the corner, and since that was taking awhile I found Bar Pinxto. I love tapas so was happy to find it. Delightful. Nice service too.
