"Start your day with an oceanside breakfast experience at Tinta. Located at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, Tinta is the sister restaurant to the resort's upscale Mexican eatery, Lona Cocina Tequileria. Tinta, meaning "ink" in Spanish, is the ink to Lona's canvas, which is a reference to Chef Pablo Salas' love of tattoos. Tinta serves breakfast exclusively while Lona has rocketed to popularity for its lunch and dinner service, killer brunch, and bar program. Whether you are a local or just passing by, enjoy breakfast inside or out on the restaurant's gorgeous oceanside terrace. Tinta by Lona is Fort Lauderdale's go-to spot for a little "sabor" with a Mexican twist, and is sure to kick off any day right."

    Service was outstanding. Dean was a fantastic and personable server. We sat in the library for dinner which was just lovely after having a happy hour cocktail at the inside bar. Highly recommend the chicken parm. It can feed up to four people. The spicy Ala Vodka Pachetti was also delicious and pasta homemade. 10/10 experience.

    We reserved a table outside but it was very windy so, we asked to moved closer to the bar where the wind wasn’t too bad. We waited about 3 min then I walked up to the hostess to ask again about us being moved? She said we had to wait even though we had a reservation. I believe the manager over heard and offered us another table and we decided to sit at the bar. The manager comp 2 drinks for us and made sure we were comfortable even coming back later to check on us I thought that was very classy. My only suggestion is that the ladies working at the hostess station should work on their customer service more to ensure the best guest experience. Despite the wind my date and I had a good time we even got a picture of the moon!
