| Food | With tapas style American cuisine, Cinco has some of the best food on the island. The lamp chops with mojo rub are savory as are the potato and crab croquettes. They also serve fresh sushi and feature great desserts, superb wines. |
| Bartender/Staff | Adam and Maribai were very hospitable, and quite knowledgeable of the establishment and the island. They took very good care of us. |
| Attitude |
Couldn't be better. Go into Cinco and you can eat standing up, sitting down, on your head, in your pajamas...they couldn't care less. Despite being a very elegant locale with high-end food, Cinco's overall attitude is very laid back and accepting. It's a great place to have a nice meal. but also a fun place to stay and party till they shut down. They have a great bar menu and sushi menu that gets served till 1AM, so eat, drink, be merry. Plus, as the Cinco's staff says...if your car has too much to drink, feel free to let it spend the night in their parking lot. |
| Scene | This is Nantucket we're talking about, so you can't compare the scene to a place like Buddakan in NYC...it's just not even on the same scale. But for Nantucket, Cinco does get a fun group - a lot of local bartenders and regulars who come to visit Michael and the staff. Cinco's a little far from the main "downtown" area so if you plan on drinking a lot, it's a longer cab ride. Therefore, it gets a little less crowded than say, 21 Federal, Lola or Boarding House...which can be good if you're looking for something off the beaten path to get away from the "downtown triangle." |
| Get Lucky Factor | Similar to the scene category, this is Nantucket so it's hard to say. There's not as much selection as you'd get in a big city of course, but also...it's summertime, there's the heat and everyone's on vacation so they're a little more playful. Just remember, it's a small island so don't do anything you'll regret because chances are, you'll probably have a run in later... |

Jordan Retro 5 Payton said he suspects there will be moments this fall when he's watching the Saints and struggles with the fact that he cannot be with the club, but said those feelings won't overwhelm him because of the enjoyment he'll get from being with Connor and teenage daughter Meghan. cheap jordan 11
