Editorial Review for Salum – by Cheryl Ng Collett
The Scene
White uniformed chefs bustle nonstop in the open kitchen. When owner, Chef Abraham Salum emerges, diners hug and air-kiss him like fans to a rock star. Servers are like well-traveled roadies, they know the ins and outs of the menu. Capiz shell chandeliers light the spacious dining room. Contemporary blonde wood furniture, luxe cream leather banquettes with espresso and mint accents exude a Miami-chic ambiance.
The Food
Pan-seared foie gras melt like butter over caramelized apples and fried pancetta. Spicy ancho chili loaded with sweet crab meat contrast well with a spoonful of cooling mango and jicama salsa. Succulent Dijon and truffled crusted lamb coupled with a savory mushroom bread and butter pudding is a signature item. The uncluttered garlic poached lobster is highlighted by a sharp layered watercress and panzanella salad. The unassuming warm apple berry crisp stirs up fanfare with a drizzling of heady toasted almond creme anglaise.

Okay, so maybe I don't lay awake wondering what strip mall I'm going to for my next great meal. And, had a friend not insisted, I would have driven right past Salum and not given it another thought. Now I can't stop thinking about the gazpacho. No food processor got anywhere near this delightful and tasty summer pleasure, with healthy chunks of tomato, avocado, cucumber and healthy doses of cilantro. Follow it with the salad caprese and just savor dipping bits alternately in the incredible balsamic or zesty pesto. The servers are knowledgable and attentive and truly caring. It's something rare these days. I have found my new favorite lunch spot.
Pros: Service, Flavor, Value
Cons: Eating in a strip mall?
