   What a great night out. Our food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Our server Alexander was very helpful and attentive. The bartender mixed us up a special after dinner cocktail that wasn’t on the menu to go with our dessert. This was our second time here and it was great both times, we can’t wait to come back and work our way through the menu.

   Overall a huge bummer!! Had high expectations but the food was just terrible. Had to send back the Wagyu, the fish was so dry you almost had to use a knife to cut it, and the bone in rib-eye was very dense and tough. Staff were very nice and the food presentations were pretty, but literally that was it. It is NOT worth the money at all so unfortunately I would not recommend. You will get way better food at Capital Grille or Morton’s. Also, I still had to pay for the food that was sent back. I understand not all places comp off items, but I literally spit out bites. Birthday dinner will be somewhere else next year!

   What a wonderful evening celebrating my 50th birthday during restaurant week! Our food was phenomenal. We literally cleaned our plates from the appetizer to the main course to the dessert. Our server and now friend Alexander was outstanding! He treated us like family and went above and beyond to make personally the Cloud cheesecake pop dessert for us. The bartender made sure to take a picture of our party in the beautiful special event room. Time well spent!

   First time and it just happen to be during the Queens Feast. The food was pretty good. I’d revisit if the opportunity presents itself with other guests in town.

   Suggested going to this restaurant to our friends since we were there twice several years ago and enjoyed it ….but this time was a total thumbs down. Apparently, the award-winning chef/owner (who wasn’t there) hosted a private party for a family member last night. He should have closed the restaurant for this and made it a private party. The servers attention was mostly given to them, and they were quite loud (which distracted from the pleasant ambiance). The rest of us were second rate, if that? We waited way too long for our food and drinks and the food was over-cooked. The Popovers they served us were literally burnt…we sent them back…and they returned with a second batch that were the same?! The halibut was over-cooked as well. The salad we ordered as an app showed up way later. The clothesline bacon remains a standout but why oh why would that be enough for a restaurant with such promise and so highly priced. Shockingly disappointing.

   From start to finish an overall great experience. Kale salad for me and the pork rolls for him both a wonderful selection to start our meal. Salmon was fork tender and my sirloin was very good. We did get a laugh when the waitress brought a cheese knife for me to cut my steak with. The unconstructed cocoanut pie is really a cake, yet delicious. We will absolutely visit this wonderful restaurant again. Hopefully sooner than later.

    Overpriced for the quality of food. The steak was undercooked, the food was not seasoned (which was almost comical for a restaurant with the word salt in the name), and the sides had been clearly sitting under a warmer. The dining room was empty and the hostess tried to sit us close enough between two other couples that we could have reached out and touched their tables. High-end prices for disappointing food.

    I had very high expectations for Red Salt I was excited at the opportunity to have dinner and I have to say I was disappointed. We started our meal with the hush puppy appetizer and it arrived overcooked and hard as a rock . We also had the pork spring roll and it lacked flavor it was very bland . The kale salad was appetizing and for our entrées we had the salmon and sirloin they were both good, however the portions were small. Our server was friendly and pleasant. I expected more from a Signature Restaurant.

    Service was horrible. 30 mins just to get water. 30 mins just to get salads as our appetizer. And my croutons were burnt. Server was very rude to us, used a tone that was unexpectable and out of line and unnecessary. Spoke with manager who said the service was delayed due to restaurant week, but place wasn’t busy at all. Will not be returning.

    Our experience was pretty good. The hotel lost AC so I was really hot and had to use a menu to fan myself. The food was amazing. I’d say a 8.5/10! Definitely going back for the Brussels and hushpuppies!

    Overall good experience for our first time at Red Salt. My fiancé ordered from the restaurant week menu and it definitely wasn’t as good as the dish I ordered from the regular menu, and the portion was small but I guess that’s to be expected with a tasting menu. The hotel was extremely busy and loud which spilled into the restaurant, made it kind of hard to enjoy a date night. It was also very hot in the restaurant but not sure if that was a factor of poor air conditioning or just so many people in a large space. Even as locals I don’t know that we’d make it a point to come back, but I’m glad we tried it.

    Went for $5 night with a foodie dinner group. Their website said they were supposed to have $5 burgers, beer, and wine so we decided give it a shot. When we arrived and asked the server about the special we were told that they don't offer $5 wine. I mentioned the promotion on the website before ordering any drinks and was told by our server "I've worked here over a year. If that was the case I would know about it". It took 2 people showing the staff their own website on their cell phones before they acknowledged they should honor the promotion. The manager ended up offering us a single red wine blend for that price though he didn't reduce the price of all the wine that people had already offered at the table. It was a pretty lame effort in our opinion. In addition to the wine issue every single person that ordered the Burger Special ended up with their burgers cooked very well done instead of whatever temperature they ordered. The rest of the food was just ok, but certainly not up to the award winning status they claim. Add to that the fact that the gate leaving the parking lot was broken and it took everyone 20 minutes or more to even get out of there. At least they validate parking, but they are in a hotel so you would expect them to. They did add a 22% tip which it normal with our group of 8, but the service certainly didn't justify over 15% and apparently that is their practice even if we were a party of 2. So I don't just speak to the negative I will say the decor was beautiful and the hostess was very sweet. For a restaurant that prides itself on an Award-winning chef, this group of foodie ladies were exceptionally disappointed. We had high hopes and it was an utter failure. Hopefully they'll get it together or I don't think they're gonna be around much longer. I doubt I'll be back. The experience was too poor to give it another shot. Disappointing with so many great restaurants in uptown Charlotte.

    Most of the food was outstanding. There was one appetizer that was not appealing so we sent it back and was not offered a resolution to our disappointment, which was indicative of our average service.

    I am usually concerned when eating at a hotel restaurant. There was no need for worry here. The space is lovely, service was very good, and the food was fantastic. We loved the variety of the menu. We had the NY strip, rack of lamb, duck breast, and pork shank entrees. The salt aged steak was fantastic. The duck was served with macaroni & cheese with duck confit. It was indulgent! The fried rice that accompanied the pork was so good. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly.

    Other reviews were spot on about Red Salt! Food was amazing, hostess was your typical rude young woman who didn’t smile when she greeted us at all or respond when I said how are you?, but waiter was attentive and very friendly so that helped turn it around. Would definitely go back for the food, but definitely a pricier, special occasion place.

    I am staying at Le Meridien and needed a place to go for some food after a long day of traveling. The restaurant is located in the hotel so it was convenient. The greeter was not so friendly as she was busy with her phone. Seemed like I interrupted her phone time. From the time I sat down and the server greeted me the experience changed. I wish I would have got the servers name because she was fantastic. I asked about their specials and she informed me about them. I then asked her opinion on an IPA and decided to take her suggestion. With her being so polite and welcoming, the greeters experience was far from my mind. I got a hamburger which is not anything fancy, but it was cooked correctly and the added items were correct. I had bacon added to my burger and it was not all soggy and chewy, but it was crunchy enough to add to the great taste of the burger.

    Chose this restaurant because of it’s proximity to Middle C Jazz - there are not a lot of great food locations in this area. Red Salt is EXCELLENT and lives up to it’s very fine OT reputation. The food was not only delicious but presented in a very enticing way. Maybe the best part of our meal was the fantastic service offered by Key. She made us feel special and patiently explained the menu, cocktails and amazing things ordered by nearby diners to us. Ask for her and you will have an even more delightful experience.
