    The restaurant was very loud, it was difficult to hear my date but that’s not the restaurants fault. Our server was lovely although she appeared to be nervous but that’s normal, no fault. Loved the corn bread, the wine, the cheeseburger and fries were incredible but the margarita pizza was very bland and just tasted like plain tomato sauce with not much seasoning to it at all. Overall had a great time, and will be coming back!

    Great family get together, and the tater tots and the dish with cod were superb. Excellent service as well. Thanks Salt + Ash!

    Waitress was very friendly and pleasant. Didn't feel like they had very many food options. Only special was pizza. Very loud. Hard to read menus with the type of lighting. We didn't leave upset but it didn't hold up to the hype.
    Salt & Ash - HalifaxResponded 7 days ago
    Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We're glad to hear your server made a good impression, friendly service is something we really care about. We’re sorry to hear the rest of the experience didn’t quite match your expectations. Feedback like yours helps us see where we can improve, from atmosphere to menu variety. We hope you might give us another try down the line — we’d love the chance to show you what we’re really about.

    Food was ok. We were not offered the brunch we made reservations for. We wanted the Easter brunch.
    Salt & Ash - HalifaxResponded on April 21, 2025
    Thank you for your review Corinne. We sincerely apologize for the experience surrounding your reservation and the Easter brunch. It’s disappointing to hear that we weren’t able to offer you the brunch you were expecting, especially after making a reservation. We completely understand how frustrating that must have been. Our Brunch ended at 3 PM, and unfortunately we had a very busy weekend and began to run out of our easter items around 2 PM. We’ll be reviewing our processes to ensure that this doesn’t happen again in the future. Your feedback is really important to us, and we hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide the experience you were hoping for. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    We had a lovely Easter Brunch. The food was extremely tasty and the staff very attentive. I'm vegetarian and it was lovely to see that many menu items could be adjusted to accommodate this. It was my first time at Salt and Ash and I found the decor very interesting - I can visualise how it will feel very "beachy" when summer comes but right now it is warm and cozy.
    Salt & Ash - HalifaxResponded on April 21, 2025
    Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a lovely Easter Brunch with us, and that the food and service exceeded your expectations. We’re especially happy that our menu options could accommodate your vegetarian preferences—our team works hard to provide a variety of options for all guests! It’s also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the décor. We love that the space feels cozy and inviting, and we’re excited for you to experience the beach-house vibes when the warmer weather arrives! Our patio is also to die for during the warm summer nights. We cant wait to welcome you back.

    It use to be my favourite restaurant in the city but I wasn’t impressed with the menu this time around. It lacked variety and the food was just okay for the price point.
    Salt & Ash - HalifaxResponded on April 21, 2025
    Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your recent experience didn’t quite hit the mark for you. While we believe our current menu offers a great variety of dishes, we understand that everyone’s preferences are different. We're excited to share that we’ll soon be updating our menu to feature new, fun and seasonal items for the summer. We think you’ll love the new additions, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back to try them when they’re available. We appreciate your support and hope to have the chance to provide you with an even better experience next time!
