Tinto Bar de Tapas at 1581 Bayview Ave. will begin accepting reservations in 2015, according to its congenial owner Otta Zapotocky. Otta also owns L’Avenue Bistro at 1568 Bayview. Tinto Bar de Tapas is a lively wine and seafood/pork hideaway marking its first New Year’s Eve Wednesday night. There are a few tables left for both the early party-goers and those who want to shout out 2015 on Bayview at midnight. The 5.30 p.m. sitting is a three-hour $50-a-person dinner with an out by 8.30 p.m. requirement. The later sitting is from 9 p.m. to midnight and beyond at $75-a-plate per person. As usual, the wine tasting skills of Otta Zapotocky come with the evening.
