Welcome to Tempranillo Restaurant, where internationally acclaimed Chef Javier Gonzalez-Bringas, along with his partner and wife Laura, offer a daily menu of drinks, tapas, dinner and lunch. Gonzalez-Bringas, a Madrid Native, combines an old-world style with a new-world flair in his signature cuisine. The name Tempranillo, itself, pays homage to one of Spain's premier grape varieties, and true to its name the restaurant features a selection of over 100 hand-chosen wines. 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"

Please note that we can not guarantee indoor or heated patio seating. Thank you.

    Everything about the evening was wonderful except the construction that made it difficult to navigate the route to the restaurant. They have been dealing with the road construction and are wonderful to their patrons!

    It was fine. The waiter was very nice. The construction was unsightly and made it hard to get in and out of the restaurant.

    One of the worst culinary experiences I’ve had in my 52 years. The $43 “fish special” was no more than an old shoe. Tough leather and raw. Sent it back and it came back even worse. Never again!
