    Fabulous again. This was my second visit and my husband’s first- we both loved it and felt there wasn’t anything on the menu that wouldn’t be great. Staff is attentive and ambiance is on point. Excited to come back sometime.

    Fantastic dining experience! We enjoyed the octopus, fries, and taco crudo—all were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant, not too noisy, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend!

    Always great food. Good advice on wine selection. Nice cocktail. Many of the items include sourdough bread - but there were no available alternatives for people who are gluten-free. It would be a nice option for those with food allergies to have something other than bread with their pate, tartar, charcuterie, etc. Near the end of the dinner (still only just after 9) as several diners were leaving, the music seemed to be ramped up - which seemed to be a cue for us to leave.... we couldn't really continue our conversation with the speaker above our table, so we departed. Other than that, it was another great evening @ Salt.
