Gonzalez-Bringas, a Madrid Native, combines an old-world style with a new-world flair in his signature cuisine.

The atmosphere at Tempranillo is notable for its rich colors, dual fireplaces, and community gathering table-all reflecting the equally rich depth of flavors and influences which are at the heart of the restaurant's origins. "Our desire is to create a brilliantly charming place in the community where people can gather and enjoy the dance with exists between the flavors of Spain and Italy"

    We noted on our reservation that we had a birthday then called to adjust the reservation and mentioned the birthday and no one made any effort to celebrate the birthday!! We ordered 3 desserts ( not looking for a freebie) but a candle would have been easy enough...0The server was short with us, not hospitable at all, bragged that he had been a server for 30plus years and yet was one of the worse severs, sloppy, not attentive at all.. could not explain menu items and did not know the liquor brands they have. The server that brought out the food seemed miserable and beyond unfriendly. It was very uncomfortable...We have had great experiences in the past however this was not one of them luckily we were in a good company. Everyone has off nights and maybe this was one of them for their staff.

    We were passing through Basalt for one night only and thought tapas would be an interesting and light dinner and that’s exactly what we got! Our Four dishes ( garlic shrimp, bacon-wrapped dates, grilled asparagus and calamari) were well seasoned, well prepared, came in a timely manner. Delightful server named Alex. Lovely outdoor space. We’ll go back next time we’re passing through:)

    We ate here, while visiting Basalt, and it was FANTASTIC!! Our server ,Lorena ,was so helpful and nice...she recommended the fried artichokes and OMG...this is the best thing ever!!! DO NOT forget to order these...double YUM!!!! We also had the fried calamari which were good too (BUT NOT IN THE SAME league as the artichokes!!). And we shared the Clam linguine too...(some bread to sop up the sauce would have been a nice touch.)
