    Food was excellent. We had the calamari and Caesar salad to start. Our entrees were the scallop dinner and local shrimp. All the food was delicious. Blake was our server, and he was knowledgeable of the menu and very accommodating. Overall a wonderful experience.

    Compared favorably to a better known Tampa steakhouse which we visited only a month ago in all regards. Food was just as tasty and well prepared and at a much lower price point. We shared a 20 oz porterhouse, rare, with pork belly and scallop topping. Steak was among the most tender and tasty I've had. Staff was prompt, cordial and very efficient. We had our wine delivered quickly and food came out shortly thereafter. Had a great conversation with our waitress, very cute, and sommelier and shared several California wine experiences. Several large parties shared the dining room, but overall the room was quiet and we were able to converse easily. Sorry, no tips to watch out for, the overall experience was five star.

    My husband and I are vegan. The chef presented a three course menu of the most outstanding dishes,all vegan, to celebrate my birthday! Each morsel was scintillating of your senses. Our waiter, Jeff, made our celebration extraordinary with his explanation of the various salts and how to use them on various entrees. If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience, look no further…,,, Salt will not disappoint.
