Tinos Kitchen + Bar

Tinos Kitchen + Bar in Hampton is rooted in the belief that food should nourish and satisfy — body and soul. The Mediterranean-inspired restaurant serves wood-fired food and craft cocktails that are ingredient-driven, seasonal and entirely scratch-made. They fry exclusively in beef tallow, further encapsulating their “make people feel good” mentality. tinosnh.com

StrEATz
