"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.

The service was fantastic! The margaritas are well worth it as well as the lobster quesadilla. I highly recommend ordering any of the guacamole. We will return.

The food isn’t just great - it is seriously amazing. Dishes that I’ve loved all my life - made even better than I could have ever imagined. Try the calamari - you will not be sorry. And do not miss the ceviche. Service is friendly and professional. Just a fantastic experience all around.
