Sal Y Mar At Midtown Offers Great Food And Rooftop Views

The rooftop venue features 360-degree views of the Tampa, Westshore and the St. Petersburg skyline.

TAMPA, FL — Tampa Bay Food Tours is loving the Midtown Tampa development.

On our last visit, we dined at Sal Y Mar, located on the sixth floor of the dual-branded Aloft/Element hotel, 3650 Midtown Drive.


Great views aside, it is the amazing food and drinks that are making Sal Y Mar a new go-to spot. Inspired by the Riviera Maya town of Tulum, Sal Y Mar’s (Salt and Sea) casual-yet-sophisticated vibe has already been discovered by many locals.
