The restaurant was quiet which provided a relaxed atmosphere. Outstanding food and good service in the Gaslamp District. Perfect combination.4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMDinner before the showSaltbox may become one of my favorite places to go downtown. Living in North County, we don't get to eat much downtown, unless we are going to the symphony or opera or something. Saltbox gives an automatic 10% discount if you mention you are attending a show downtown that evening.
And the food is very nice. Sourced from local growers, and changing every quarter, the chef does a very nice job getting local, seasonal ingredients into the food.
I started with the chopped Lobster Cobb Salad, with the Hamberguesa Grande as a main, and could not finish due to the generous portion size. My wife had the ribeye steak, cooked "blue", and she loved it.
Our server Katie was very knowledgeable about the menu, and was very helpful.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Brussels sprouts saladThe Brussels sprouts salad was the best thing I ate during my week in San Diego. I highly recommend it. For my entree, I had a flatbread with tomatoes, clams, and chorizo. Flavor was excellent. I think the volume of cheese made it a little too heavy for the crust, but not a big deal. I also had the chocolate churros. These are not just regular churros with some chocolate on top. More like churro-shaped fudge. Really good and surprisingly not heavy. The decor is sleek. The waitstaff is very pleasant. I would definitely go back again.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMHad a wonderful dining experienceHad a wonderful dining experience with coworkers at Saltbox.
