Salinas

Editorial Review

Tapas spot fits right in to Maritime/Dream Hotel glam corridor, but on an intimate scale. Small bar up front, atmospheric back porch with fireplace, retractable roof. Tablecloths and chairs in a deep Mediterranean blue match Spanish-born chef’s inspirations. Paellas, head-on shrimp with garlic, gazpacho in a canted bowl so you don’t miss a drop. Name refers to salt harvest spots, mineral serves deftly in bass with smoked paprika, roasted suckling pig. Finish with rice pudding passion fruit semifredo. You’ll find the room.
