Profile

Gourmet tenor Placido Domingo has had less success as a restaurateur than as an opera singer, but with his latest partner (Maya's Richard Sandoval) and concept (coastal-Mexican seafood), he's completely reinvented the skylit Turtle Bay duplex formerly known as Domingo. There are multiple variations of seviches and margaritas, south-of-the-border seafood like seared scallops with a salad of prickly pear and baby cactus, and an adjacent tacqueria that dispenses top-notch street-fare takeout. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
