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, seafood like seared scallops with Serrano ham and papas bravas (a traditional Spanish dish of white potatoes), and an adjacent tacqueria that dispenses top-notch street-fare takeout. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
