- RCRey CortezFeb 14, 20262.0The Friday & Saturday night DJ only works until 11pm. Loves to hype up halfway through then brings it right back down. Walks away from the booth and lets the song play and barely mixes. Constantly looks at the clock and says how he wants to go home. My Spotify could do a better job. More energy required.
- BMBrandon MarshFeb 8, 20261.00/10 do not reconmend. Me and my wife just arrived to tampa and our move in is for tomorrow to our apartment. We stayed at the element which connects to this restaurant . Was seated immedately we waited for 30 minutes no one acknowledge us not even a water pour. Training of staff is needed if you are busy train them to take 5 seconds to greet and pour water and inform guest it will be a few seconds. We got up and left spend your money elsewhere.
- NRNadya RFeb 6, 20265.0Stopped by here while in Tampa for the week and had such a great experience. Sat at the bar and met the bartender, Natalia she was wonderful and spot on with her recommendations. The burrata and salmon were both amazing. Can’t wait to come back another time to really enjoy the outdoor space. Highly recommend!
- GNGrace NgangaJan 30, 20265.0I was truly impressed by the warmth and flexibility of the staff. The restaurant and bar offer a beautiful boho-chic, on-trend atmosphere that feels both stylish and inviting. As a vendor who regularly coordinates setups, I’ve struggled to find venues in Tampa that are genuinely accommodating—but Sal Y Mar exceeded every expectation. From the aesthetic to the professionalism and supportive team, it’s everything I’ve been looking for and will absolutely be my go-to moving forward.
- KGKara Leigh GiraffeighJan 26, 20265.0As a new resident in midtown, I was elated to discover this spectacular rooftop venue. The DJ and dancing vibe was alluring, and the viewscapes are vast. The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming, to the point of motivating my recurring patronage out of the gate. Anna Kudla was so generously informative about the property, that I thought she was in a management role. Joklin exuded amiable and fun energy through his superstar service, and Natalie's personality beamed behind the bar. I am excited to explore the restaurant and menu options soon under the crescent moon!
