Sala’o Cuban Bar & Pescaria has planted roots on Miami’s iconic 8th Street bringing us authentic, Cuban seafood dishes with a modern twist and some serious Ernest Hemingway vibes. Dark woods, rustic finishes, memorabilia form the early 1900’s and images of Hemminway cover ever inch of this eatery conceptualized by Eliesteban Mena and Oscar Rodriguez that pays homage to the late American writer.
The menu by Cuban Chef Jorge Mas is composed of a variety of seafood dishes such as Mahi Mahi Tradito, Fish Croquettes, and the Cóctel de Ostiones Oysters Shot.
