Upscale seafood spot with zarandeado, chowder, lobster rolls, flan
"Located in the trendy Roma neighborhood, this corner spot features an interesting diner-meet-bistro look with loads of gleaming stainless steel along with an open kitchen fronted by a counter set with stools. Meanwhile, Chef Lucho Martinez's seafood-loving menu has it all, with a raw section to pastas and main dishes, but don't gloss over the daily specials, either. A blue corn tostada layered with seafood pâté and steamed shrimp is a nice opener, as is a bowl of thick and satisfying clam chowder. Tuck into a lobster roll or a softshell crab sandwich, if available, before enjoying every last lick of the vanilla soft serve with lemon peel." - The MICHELIN Guide US Editorial Team

"Seafood is at the epicenter of Ultramarinos Demar, the most recent project of chef Lucho Martínez. It’s hard to pinpoint all the culinary influences at play on the menu; there’s zarandeado (the classic Mexican-style grilled fish), but also velvety clam chowder, perfectly moistened crab cakes, lobster rolls, caviar with chips, and seafood platters. The restaurant appears casual, with a relaxed, no-frills dining room and bar seating, but servers draw inspiration from classic European restaurants, delivering polished table service in crisp, white jackets. The cosmopolitan, indulgent experience is a good choice for lunch or an early dinner (the restaurant closes at 7 p.m.). Know before you go: While you wait for your table, grab a coffee across the street at sister project Café Tormenta." - Natalia de la Rosa
"Ultramarinos Demar is an upscale seafood spot opened in January, highly sought after in the city." - David Shortell
