Tin Tin now open for lunch

If lunchtime cravings steer toward Provence, you are in luck. Tin Tin, sister restaurant to Westside’s AIX, launched lunch service this week. Weekday lunch is served Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Chef Nick Leahy’s menu includes a mix of salads, small plates, soups, a few entrees, and charcuterie. There will also be a seasonal rotation of pan bagnat, stuffed baguette sandwiches.  

The airy, light filled dining area and patio offers both a quick respite from the rat race, or, if you choose, a lingering lunch accompanied by a carefully curated list of French wines and select cheeses.  

Check out Leahy’s Tart Aux Chevre with goat cheese, roasted vegetable tart, and simple green salad. A heartier choice would be Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Paillard. Ask for a seat next to the fireplace to up the Autumnal vibes.
