We had such a great time! It was the perfect place to celebrate a bachelorette or any occasion, honestly. We laughed and enjoyed the performers from beginning to end! The food was very good and the price for all that entertainment was very reasonable!

About the restaurant

"Start your day with an oceanside breakfast experience at Tinta. Located at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, Tinta is the sister restaurant to the resort's upscale Mexican eatery, Lona Cocina Tequileria. Tinta, meaning "ink" in Spanish, is the ink to Lona's canvas, which is a reference to Chef Pablo Salas' love of tattoos. Tinta serves breakfast exclusively while Lona has rocketed to popularity for its lunch and dinner service, killer brunch, and bar program. Whether you are a local or just passing by, enjoy breakfast inside or out on the restaurant's gorgeous oceanside terrace. Tinta by Lona is Fort Lauderdale's go-to spot for a little "sabor" with a Mexican twist, and is sure to kick off any day right."
