Salt Harvest is a phenomenal new addition to the Seattle culinary scene. The ambience and dedication to sustainability and aesthetic detail is remarkable. The food was out of this world (best duck dish I've ever had, and I love duck and order whenever it's on a menu!). The bread service alone is worth going for! Our server, Mandy, was exceptional. It is pricey for sure, but worth it! Highly, highly recommend
