Tasting Table posted a review of Salt Air on Abbot Kinney in Venice the other day. Here’s there review and look out for our review that I will post immediately after!
Air Apparent - Salt Air sets new trends for stylish Abbot Kinney
The sense of fashion is palpable at Venice’s new “beach bistro” Salt Air.
There’s the sharply dressed, elbow-to-elbow clientele, the stark white brick dining room and the dainty, homespun small plates from chef Greg Daniels, who left New York’s Perry St for the sunny shores of California.
On almost every table you’ll find the restaurant’s best accessory: a bowl of crunchy fish-skin chips ($6). Daniels’ seafaring riff on chicharon is served with creamy smoked onion dip and zesty harissa paste.
The vibrant green freshness of the pea toast ($11) turns heads; Daniels dresses a thick slice of pain de mie with caramelized onions, ricotta and a tangle of crushed English peas and their tendrils.
