    My wife and I have chosen Black Salt for special occasion dinners over the years and have never had less than an exemplary experience. It's not inexpensive but the quality of the seafood, presentation and service are outstanding.

    Grilled sardines were great but Halibut overcooked and dry. Plum tart sweet and good. Very cold in back room.

    Another wonderful experience at Black Salt. Attentive, energetic staff, great ambience, easy to converse. The food is extraordinary, always fresh, a seafood haven. The seafood ceviche is my favorite appetizer, plenty to share or savor on your own. The tuna poke bowl is great as an entree or starter if really hungry. You cannot go wrong with any dish on the menu. The key lime pie is always my go to dessert. Worth the visit for any occasion.

    We love this restaurant and have been many times. But in our experience they have chronic time management problems. We may find another favorite place.
