El Quinto Pino

Editorial Review

Table-less tapas boasts 26 stools and the slamming-est sea urchin panini in town. Traditional Tía Pol roots, but goes all first-generation crazy with fried eggplant slathered in honey and bonito flakes, wax-bagged mixed-meat sandwiches. Pretty, curving, white marble slab bar, otherwise just-graduated IKEA living room décor. Frozen specialty concoctions—brandy horchata, basil gin lemonade—help you find the forgiveness in your heart for that skank who just sardine-slapped you into the patterned wallpaper.
