While Michael's Genuine Food and Drink remains one of the top spots in
Midtown, the Design District welcomes Sra. Martinez, a modern tapas bar
Michelle Bernstein dreamed up while spinning all those magic little
dishes at Michy's. Martinez is her married name and it's obvious she's
wed to the concept of building your own dinners from a vast array of
small plates on the "Frio and Caliente" menu.
Tucked away in a retro post office (formerly Domo Japones), the dining
room stirs with lookie-loos who strain to see what other tables have
ordered. From roast piquillo peppers to grilled octopus, the restaurant
serves both classic and remixed Spanish-style bites and a comprehensive
Spanish wine list that transports local diners to the heart of Malaga
after just a few sips.
Sra. Martinez is perfect for a group of adventurous dining friends who are willing
to share.
