The former Tink’s space off Ludlow in Clifton exceeded my expectations. Mrs. (!!) Kris and I went to catch up post-wedding and since they just moved to Indy and she was back home for the week. We had to celebrate her job, too! As soon as we walked in the door, we ran into one of my fav sommeliers, Eric Faber, who I initially met with my mom at A Bottle or Two. He also took Amy Scalia of Cincy Chic and me on a hot air balloon ride last summer… I loved the tempranillo that was his current featured selection on the menu and we decided to split a selection of appetizers. We chose scallops, salad, crab cake and flat bread.
Kris surprised me with the cutest painting of a Westie that looks just like shaggy Findlay – it is so sweet! (See photo below) I think he likes to look up at “his” masterpiece above the armchair in the studio.
One amazing aspect of the restaurant is they use their wall space and as a rotating art gallery of work by local artists. The current paintings of Cincinnati was sensational - by Cole Carothers, the owner was happy to discuss with us. The name of the restaurant is also charming – the building was originally built as a post office. The check was neatly folded and presented in a time hand-stamped envelope – little touches like this make a cute place unique, inspiring and worthy of a return visit.
