    Fun, trendy restaurant with excellent food and drink. Our server seemed new and perhaps dealing with lots of tables, so we cut him slack, especially since he was very gracious and friendly. We will definitely return soon!

    Was definitely a bit chilly on the deck. We had to leave our coats on. But overall, we enjoyed the food and our vegetarian friends also really enjoyed the menu.

    The Mr Aspargus tacos are not to be missed! The chips are perfectly seasoned. Cute decor. Celebrated a friends birthday.

    We arrived at 5 and were seated on the patio. It was a cold evening so we asked that the overhead heaters be turned on. We were told the one above us wasn’t working so we were moved to a different table. That one didn’t work either. I asked for a blanket, which was offered to me but the waitress forgot. (Only a few other tables were seated) Finally got someone’s attention who brought a blanket. The $3 kind from Walmart which didn’t provide much warmth. The house chips were good as were the crafted cocktails. We left before ordering dinner due to the temperature and the lack of service. The table next to use asked for happy hour prices on their drinks and were told those prices were only available in the bar area, which doesn’t appear on the website. Clearly the restaurant has some issues to work out.

    First time at Salt & Lime. Great alternative style menu. It was roaring loud when we first got there, but by the time we sat down at 7:30 (Friday night), it had quieted down quite a bit. It was a little cool and I felt they should have had heaters on the main patio. Other than that, service was awesomeand the food was good. I ordered 3 tacos; they are huge and I could have just ordered 2. My wife ordered the Sinaloa Style Tostada. We both felt the tacos were far better; as the tostada was a little underwelming, as an entree. Looking back the totada woudl have been better shared and we could have shared another entree or a trio of tacos. We'll be back in the spring, when the patio warms up some or maybe brunch.

    Really busy last night so they seemed abit understaffed. Drinks were delicious at least first round second round not as good. Food was very good, salt and Lime salad with shrimp was yummy and tacos were also very good with creative ingredients! Definitely will be back. Not all the heaters were working so dress warm if it’s a cool evening!!
