Sal Y Mar, a rooftop restaurant in the Marriott Hotel in Midtown Tampa, brings a modern menu and elegant dining experience to the area. Executive chef Cristian Ruiz took over the menu almost a year ago, incorporating his interpretation of Spanish, Italian, and American cuisines.

Ruiz has been in the hospitality industry for over 20 years and uses his background to craft distinct flavor combinations. The menu highlights seafood paella cooked with a rich, house-made lobster broth and served in the classic wide dish. Other popular dishes include arepitas, stuffed dates wrapped in bacon, and a Manchego foam.

The rooftop space is located next to the hotel pool and transitions into an entertainment area on weekends, focusing on high-end hospitality from the restaurant staff and servers. Visitors can enjoy happy hour from 4 to 6 pm on weekdays.
