La Fonda del Sol

Editorial Review

Homage to '60s legend soon to mint new converts. Joint says amen to notion that Spain is where it's at, lays out tapas, chorizo, serrano ham. There's sherry, of course, with 'shrooms, chicken, or potted duck and pork. Or have your sherry in the house martini, complete with vodka, olives, and two kinds of rum. Met Life space does double duty, with ground-floor café and bar, and tier-level dining. Ambitious design throws out more color than we've gotten used to, nods to the 1.0 with groovy sunbursts, like the teal moiré numbers behind the bar.
