Small and Cozy with nice music in background. I enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was excellent and the waiter did a good job! I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends. It is a nice little restaurant on Jasper Avenue. Go check it out!

Went here for a Christmas party but still had a good sampling of their wares. As the name suggests, this is a tapas place. First the food: Everything from the charcuterie to hot dishes was fresh and delicious. There were cheese only boards as well as mixed fare. Lots of olives, pickled veggies, the usual. What made their boards above average was the freshness and quality/quantity. Presentation was also very pleasing to the eye. I didn't try too much of the hot offerings but the two that I did have really stood out. The meatballs drizzled in a tomato reduction rocked and the sambucca shrimp were to die for. Definitely recommend. The alcohol part of the equation was no less satisfying. Although Tapavino doesn't have taps, their selection of canned and bottled beer is impressive with a very good variety of styles. For those who like their wine, a good selection there too. Prices were in line with a typical upper end restaurant but not overly high. The cocktails though! Jean Francois (forgive me if I got the name wrong) is an absolute master of the fancy mixed drink ("artisanal cocktail"). ALL of his ingredients, with the exception of cola or other fountain drinks, are handmade. All of the garnishes from dried grapefruit or cucumber - handmade. He even makes his own ginger beer and tonic water. I was the recipient of 7 of these original creations, everything from rather sweet to quite savoury. And yes, I took an Uber home afterwards! If you're interested in a light tapas style meal and drinks after the theater, hockey game, or show I heartily recommend this place. The only downside is that parking is at a premium - not much around. On the other hand, if you decide to get into the cocktails, might not be a bad idea to cab or Uber....
