A very popular restaurant and bar, not much seating, very dim rustic with two bars and intimate feel. There isn’t a place to wait and one couple was in front of us so we were chilling outside for a few minutes. There an upstairs and down The food is amazing! We came for dinner in a Thursday night no res. We didn’t wait long 3-4 minutes just one couple a head of us. I ordered the pan roasted duck and it was cooked perfectly. Tender and crisp the sauces and sides were perfect I savored every bite of this one. Wifey ordered the Ricotta Cavatelli. It was yummy with creamy sauce and perfectly cooked homemade pasta that tasted amazing. She ordered a drink that used to be on the menu but they made it happen because that’s how they roll here. The staff was awesome super fast friendly and they have matches!

Tiny's & The Bar Upstairs delivers a consistently good experience. The food is very good and well-prepared, service is attentive and efficient, and the atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. A reliable spot for a quality meal in a comfortable setting!

Came here on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised. The vibe and space are cute and inviting. We started with happy hour drinks and oysters, which were great and a good deal. For dinner, the homemade tater tots with the special sauce were a standout. The pumpkin risotto was so good — not too cheesy or heavy, with just the right amount of vegetables. I’m still thinking about it! You also can’t go wrong with the Kit Kat dessert — delicious.

I needed a spot for a work dinner with my team and found Tiny's after some searching on Yelp. Reservations were very easy to make a few weeks in advance and we were seated immediately. The vibes are great - it's such a cute rustic space and really gave our out of towners a classic oldschool NYC feel. Plus - they have matchbooks, which I collect. They have their own cocktails, but they will also make you any cocktail that you want, provided they have the materials. I had their mushroom whiskey cocktail and it was fab. I'm an old-fashioned girlie, and this gave the same vibes. To start, we split a dozen oysters and a grilled peach burrata. Loved both and everyone was able to have some. For mains, I had the risotto and others in my party had the pasta, steak, and the mussels appetizer. The mussels appetizer is huge and honestly, more than enough as an entree. The risotto was also very filling and very good. We split some grilled asparagus and roasted potatoes as sides, which were all great. For dessert, a coworker and I split their matcha martini and the lava cake. Both were fantastic - and I would gladly drink that matcha martini again any day. Service was great and we were very well taken care of. We were there for about 3.5 hours and were never rushed out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5/5 We visited Tiny's and the Bar Upstairs on a Wednesday evening, and it was a lovely spot. The outdoor space was inviting, perfect for people-watching, and the upstairs area was warm and cozy, ideal for winter. We didn't have a reservation, but our hostess was kind enough to find us a seat. The service was a bit spotty, likely due to the crowd, but our experience was still enjoyable. We ordered the orange wine, which was delicious, and some appetizers - citrus ceviche, Tony's tater tots, and burrata with peach. Everything was fresh and well-made. And for dessert, we got the Kit Kat chocolate cake( forget the name!) , which my friend with the sweet tooth thoroughly appreciated. It's a great spot for a date night or a group of four. We'll likely be back for the drinks, food, and ambiance, but might try to avoid peak hours.

Cosy townhouse with a kitchen downstairs and bar upstairs. Thursday night was a full house and the service was good. The beet and goat cheese salad was ok. Very bitter but not offset by any sweetness via dressing or beets, which were plain and not pickled (would have helped). The steak was pretty well cooked and the chimichurri was on point. The duck was a little bit of a let down. Slightly chewy with the skin not quite crispy enough. It also had a bland undressed side of plain arugula and some slightly roasted cherry tomatoes. Dessert was their Kit Kat. We enjoyed this but not sure if we really found any resemblance to a Kit Kat 🙂. Cocktails were nicely crafted. My partner enjoyed hers. Overall a decent experience but prob won’t return for the food.

It is very dark in here. So dark, you need the candle to read the menu Hamachi crudo was great. Shrimp tacos were delicious. Tater tots were excellent. Skip the pumpkin risotto - it wasn’t cooked through and lacked salt/umami. DEFinitely order the Kit Kat Had a bottle of Sancerre - it was fine.

Cool spot to meet up with friends. We did apps only for our order. The meatballs were decent. Garlic fries are shoestring but the 2nd order was over seasoned. The shrimp cocktail is only 4 large shrimp but a good quality. The popcorn shrimp has a kick but it’s tasty. We were pleasantly surprised by the tuna tartare. It was fresh and nice on the palate.

Tiny's is a pretty good brunch place, all the dishes were around $20-30 - we got the veggie grain bowl and the french toast which they seem to have updated. Both were pretty good, but I don't know if I'd pay $20+ for both dishes. We also got a cocktail (name escapes me) and a latte, both pretty good. The reason for the 4 stars is that in comparison, there are better brunch places in my opinion, like Bubby's, which is just a couple blocks away.

My friend and I visited on an early Friday evening and found the experience somewhat mixed. The winter sangria listed on the happy hour menu was a solid choice, though we were charged the regular price. The ceviche was fresh and flavorful, but unfortunately contained a small piece of hair which detracted from the appetizer. On a more positive note, my friend really enjoyed the chicken risotto, and I was pleasantly surprised by the burger (cooked medium-rare) with truffle fries that complemented it well. That said, at $32, I’m not sure I would order it again. Service was also uneven where one server felt rushed when placing our meals and clearing plates, making the process feel a bit abrupt. We’d be open to returning to see if the experience improves.

Came here later in the evening, hoping for a relaxed dinner, but it was extremely busy and loud by the time we arrived. Food was good, but not outstanding for the price point. One dish really stood out, while another felt a bit under-seasoned. Cocktails were well made, though they took a while to arrive. Service was polite but clearly overwhelmed. We waited longer than expected between courses and had to flag someone down for the check. I think this place shines more earlier in the evening or on less crowded nights.

Really nice and dark environment. Our server (didn’t get his name) was really attentive and helpful. Drinks were really nice. Unfortunately two of the dishes were cold and had to be sent back. The burger was okay but quite bland. We then found that some of our party’s plates were being cleared before everyone had finished which just felt a bit odd. We were then being rushed to finish and pay towards the end. Our server who was rushing to take payment, got the money and then sat down to eat a meal. It was clear she was rushing us so she could eat after her shift on the bar. Overall, it was fine but some staff need better training and the food needs more attention.

We arrived 16 minutes before our reservation and we had to wait outside. The food does not worth the money. The clamps and the fries with garlic were delicious but the waffle chicken and the burger were just okay. Service was very good. All in all average.
