We came to SALT from a friend's recommendation. Everything was very good. The food was fresh and well prepared. Service was attentive and warm. The noise level is a bit loud but you can still hear your table partners. It's a very fish-centric menu but there are choices for non-fish eaters too. The reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars, is it's pricey. But if you're OK with that, I would recommend SALT as a nice place to dine with water views.
