    Food was very good. For a great appetizer try the meatballs. Just delicious. We all enjoyed our entrees, especially the Ahi Tuna. Would recommend to anyone. Great blood marys too!

    Service was great! However, the food was only okay, not outstanding. It was presented well and tasted okay, but I ordered the seared/raw tuna and it was stringy. My husband seemed to like the halibut that he ordered. So maybe it depends on the dish.

    Went for brunch. Egg scramble was perfect and large portion. Bananas foster french toast was also great. Side of canadian bacon provided 4 slices - plenty for a side dish. Server was attentive and atmosphere is very pretty and welcoming. Comfortable chairs all around.

    My sister and I ate here and chose to sit outside for an early dinner. It was very comfortable and quiet but shortly after we were joined in the outdoor 'tent' by a few families with extremely loud active children. Just the luck of the draw, but it made talking and hearing very difficult. Both of us were happy with our server and the food. I would consider returning at a later time of day/evening.

    Beautiful sunny day - decided to reserve the Patio at this first-time visit to this restaurant. Patio was actually an enclosed in plastic area, with one side open to air. Hostess / Entry person seemed disinterested. Barely spoke. We were seated in best outside table available, which was appreciated. It may have been a lull after a busy time - as the place, surrounding areas where we were sitting, needed a clean up - stray vegetables / chips / crayon / various items dropped from previous guests were not picked up. It seemed it needed to be cleaned - tended to. Wine, sandwiches, flatbread were ok. Our waitress was very pleasant and efficient. Would not return.

    Salt + StoneResponded on August 31, 2023

    Hi, LeSe, Thank you for your nice comment about you server and for your feedback on your visit. We always appreciate hearing from our guests. The sides roll up and doors open on our patio pavilion to provide fresh summer air inside. The pavilion does have a roof to help protect our guests from unpredictable New England weather. You dined just after our very busy Sunday brunch, but certainly our goal is to keep our restaurant and pavilion inviting at all times. We do hope to see you again.

    Featured on Phantom Gourmet that morning, I made a reservation but saw a spot at the bar, which was my preference as I wanted to watch the soccer game. I sat at the bar and the collective attention of the bar staff was impressive! Food came out quickly and the couple, Peter and Mary, who sat to my rt were very nice company. I will return and have at least 2 more breakfast options and Peter and Mary's recommendation for non breakfast! Will bring Friends next time also.

    The food was decent. However, it is always disappointing and lazy on the restaurant’s part to offer so many pizzas on the menu. Understandably, it is a low cost item that brings in a lot of money. It is just so uninspired. There are so many food options and it would be great to see a chef challenge himself or herself to create, but perhaps the fault lie within the organization who owns the restaurant. It is a great location. However, my husband remarked that the servers all look so unhappy, like indentured servants. Maybe the workplace doesn’t inspire them to be happy. That part is unknown. Perhaps because the restaurant has a captive audience they just don’t care and are going through the motions.

    Salt + StoneResponded on August 31, 2023

    Hi Kim, We appreciate your feedback. My husband and I opened Salt + Stone just over a year ago and are so proud of our chef inspired menu and our entire team who work very hard to provide a wonderful dining experience for our guests. In addition to our 6 flatbreads we offer a wide variety of appetizers, raw bar items, salads, pasta, sandwiches, burgers and entrees. Our experience bartenders serve creative cocktails, beer and wine from our two full service bars. We also offer brunch items (Sat and Sun) that you will not find on other restaurant menus. All menu offerings are made from scratch and cooked in our wood-fired or rotisserie ovens, which we feel makes us unique. We are proud to be part of the Somerville community and enjoy getting to know our guests both regular and new.

    We were a group of 4 who made reservations for 6 pm on a Tuesday. The staff was very friendly and service was excellent. We had the baked brie for an appetizer and it was amazing. We all had alcoholic beverages and each one was delicious, my favorite being the Talk Tiki to me. Ambience was great. Everybody enjoyed their dishes, but I wouldn't order mine (southwest chopped chicken salad) again next time. I definitely want to go back and try other dishes.

    The music is so loud that you cannot hold a conversation at your table. You have to shout across the table to be heard. The food tasted good but portions were small for the money charged - $28 for 5 mushroom ravioli, and barely any lobster on the lobster flatbread for $24 - you’re being (over)charged due to location, not food or service quality - the server never once stopped by the table to check on us and only offered a desert menu when we requested the bill…..will likely not return

    Had a late-afternoon appointment in the area so looked for a dinner place. Was told that Salt + Stone had "the best lobster sandwich I've ever had". Not my cup of tea, but irresistable for my better half. She commented favorably on the dish, served with house-made chips and "just right" coleslaw, though it did not make it all the way to the top of her list of "best ever". She also liked her cocktail, served in a pineapple-shaped glass with the requisite little umbrella. I had the sesame-crusted tuna. It was served rare (closer to raw, but that's OK), and accompanied by a cold cucumber and cherry tomato salad along with, curiously, hot "crispy smashed red potato". Hmmm. My potatoes were not smashed, not seasoned, not that great, and not much of a complement to the tuna. The tuna was pre-sliced and came with dabs of wasabi aioli that was bland. The tuna itself was also pretty bland. Really, only the salad had any pronounced flavor to it. Disappointing. Service was quite good at least.
