    Such a warm, and relaxed environment. Somehow both open and cozy. Thanks to the layout- the noise volume doesn’t prevent enjoyable conversations. The quality of food and the presentation were excellent. Suicide was also great!

We're thrilled you enjoyed the food, presentation, and the comfort of the space. It looks like there might’ve been a little typo in the last sentence, but we really appreciate your kind words! Can’t wait to welcome you back soon!

    Unfortunately the quality has gone down exponentially at Salt & Ash. Some of our longtime menu favourites have been altered and are no longer edible. For example, one of my favourites used to be their fish & chips. It was 2 medium sized pieces of deliciously flaky haddock in a light tempura style batter, with a hefty portion of their amazing salt and vinegar fries. Now, you get a fillet that is comically large which usually I wouldn’t complain about size, however in this case, less is more. It was a giant, greasy piece of fish that when cut in two to be manageable fell apart completely. The fish inside was moderately translucent (underdone) and the fish tasted as though it had been brined as it was inedible salty. The fries on my plate were for the most part a nice light brown. My mother who ordered the exact same thing got burnt fries with hers and the same inedible fish. It’s so disheartening to take this one off my list of go to’s because I genuinely used to love it. The service has always been hit or miss with lots of awkward misplacing of dishes and drinks, forgetting of items, but the friendliness of the staff and deliciousness of the food usually off puts that. However now it’s no longer worth visiting.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, and we’re truly sorry for the disappointing experience. It’s disheartening to hear that a dish you once loved no longer met your expectations. We completely understand how frustrating that can be and regret that the changes to the fish & chips didn’t reflect the quality you’ve enjoyed in the past. We take your feedback seriously and will reevaluate how we prepare and season our dishes. Consistency is important to us, and it’s clear we missed the mark. We also apologize for the service issues you mentioned and will work with our team to improve. We truly appreciate your long-time support and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to show you the Salt & Ash experience you once loved.

    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!
    Salt & Ash - HalifaxResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the cornbread, wine, cheeseburger, and fries. We understand that the music can sometimes create a lively atmosphere, and we’ll keep that in mind for future visits to ensure everyone can have a comfortable experience. We’ve also recently brought on new team members for the summer, so your server may have been getting into the groove of things, but we’re glad they were able to provide you with good service. We appreciate your input on the margarita pizza, and we’ll definitely take it into account as we continue to perfect our dishes. We’re excited to have you back soon for another great meal!
