EMELINA – Spanish
At a sixteen-seat counter wrapped around an open kitchen, husband-and-wife chefs Osmel Gonzalez and Camila Salazar named the room for Gonzalez's grandmother and built a tasting menu around what Cuban cooking might have become if it kept evolving. The minuta arrives as tempura-fried black drum over refried tomato with fried-egg emulsion; poached oysters carry yucca foam and mushroom powder; cherry tomatoes get Cuban-oregano chimichurri and macadamia milk foam; a reworked rabo encendido reimagines classic oxtail stew. Diners keep remarking on how considered the pacing feels for such an intimate room. It reads like a chef's diary, plated course by course.
