    Would’ve been better if the lobster was presented and cooked better. Paying 28 bucks for lobster you can’t even get out of the shell is insane.

    Definitely not worth the price. All the food we ordered was meh. The spinach artichoke dip was way too chunky and didn't care for the wontons it was served with. The chicken picatta is breaded even though the menu didn't say that it was and the potatoes it came with were drowning in garlic. I love garlic and flavoring and this was way too much. I couldn't even eat it. The steak was OK but definitely not worth $47. And the garlic mashed potatoes had zero flavor. The staff and ambiance were great. But the food was definitely not worth going back for.

    Wonderful experience and a great evening at Salt! Everyone’s food was cooked to perfection and the drinks were great too! Our table LOVED the Blackened Ahi Tuna as an appetizer! For dinner, we enjoyed a combination of steaks served on the salt block, Pistachio Crusted Grouper, Seared Scallops & Bacon, Pomegranate Glazed Salmon, and Dr. Pepper Beef Short Ribs! Can’t pass on the desserts either! We got several of the chocolate flourless tortes and layered carrot cake. YUM—This food coma is always worth it!

    This was our second visit. Dr.Pepper short ribs were great, as well as salt block steak. Shrimp & chorizo nachos and crab cakes are excellent. Beautiful presentation, excellent flavor. Grouper was not my favorite, so I’ll look forward to trying something else next time!

    My husband and I celebrated our 24th Anniversary in one of the igloos! It was wonderful ambiance and service drinks and food were delicious! The Blackened Ahi Tuna appetizer melted in your mouth. And the Grouper and Ribs were SO Yummy, too. A little pricey, but we still really enjoyed ourselves and will be back for future special occasions.

    This was our second visit and had a few negatives this time. The pesto risotto was very bland and a thick paste consistency which was unfortunate. Since the meal doesn’t include a side salad or bread, it is equally important to have sides be to perfection like the protein always is. Also, the women’s bathroom was out of toilet paper so perhaps a checklist or inspection sheet may be needed before opening the doors for the evening. We probably would still recommend as it appears they may have been having an off night.

    This was our first time dining at Salt and we will definitely be back again. Upon entering the restaurant, the spacious bar area has a very welcoming vibe with many interesting drink choices as well as several appetizer menu offerings. The Brussel sprouts with bacon are very tasty. Our dining room server, Lindsey, was very friendly and professional. We ordered the tenderloin on a salt block and the chicken piccata, which were both superbly prepared and delicious! Our experience at Salt was top-notch.

    Restaurant Week Pre-Fix menu was excellent. Nice way to try for our first visit to SALT. Food and service was excellent. The restaurant is decorated upscale and minimal. Very nice and clean. We attended with friends to have an evening of dinner and chat. Music was loud. Both in bar and dining area. And it was early in the evening. 5p Will return to Salt. Nice choices on menu

    Had an enjoyable evening at Salt. First time there. Went early so not a lot of people when we arrived but got much busier as it got later. Interesting concept using salt blocks for cooking. Adds a unique flavor profile to the steaks. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys a quality steak. We didn’t explore the menu being the first time we were there but looking forward to coming back. I believe it was Tony that was our waiter and he did a good job.

    The restaurant was very busy as we went on a Saturday night. It Was a little bit of a wait but the food was well worth it! The ahi tuna app was my favorite. My girlfriend said the crab cakes where the best she ever had. I had the tenderloin and was cook to protection. She had the pork tomahawk. Wish we would have saved room for desert.

    We were seated 35 minutes after our reservation, which was frustrating. Bar tab cannot be added to food bill at the end. Need to close that out before being seated. Dining room is ver, very loud. Not the quiet , fine dining night I had envisioned. Food made up for it. Steak on the salt block is cut it with a fork, melt in your mouth amazing.
