Christine, Johanna and I arrived first and tried the Salt Air Margaritas (Milagro blanco tequila, orange liqueur, lime | topped with salt air)
The dining room was really pretty.
And featured many display cases of expensive meats!
The meat bar behind us had a lot of jamon – Spanish ham!
This is Cotton Candy Foie Gras
Croquetas de Pollo (chicken-béchamel fritters)
Something pretty that I forgot to note! Crab? Shrimp?
Jamon Iberico de Bellota (Hand-cut from the famous acorn-fed, black-footed Spanish pig.)
The jamon was served with Pà Amb Tomàquet, Catalan-style toasted pan de cristal, fresh tomato
The Classic Tartare (beef sirloin, Savora mustard, hp sauce, anchovy, tempura shiso). This was prepared tableside!
Their Airbread selections change often. This one was a puff with meat on the top and filled with a liquid cheese.
Lobster!
The snacks portion of the menu was my favorite. From this section we also had
* Bagel & Lox Cone (dill cream cheese, salmon roe)
* Jose’s Taco (jamón ibérico de bellota, Osetra caviar, gold leaf, nori)
* Patatas Bravas (fried potatoes, spicy tomato sauce, alioli)
* Kelly had some sort of sloppy joe!
The snacks were the most playful and interesting to me. Christine, Johanna and I ordered a few each. The only issue was that they were expensive. Each thing was $6-15 and was only a couple bites.
One other thing we shared was the Organized Caesar (parmesan, quail egg, anchovy, airbread crouton).
Overall, I thought everything was high quality and delicious, but definitely a splurge.
The meat bazaar is upstairs. On the ground floor, where you enter, is the seafood restaurant called Bar Mar. Would love to give it a try. The octopus over the bar was so cool!
