    It was my 60th birthday and our first time eating at Salt on Mass. Had a wonderful experience and a memorable one. The server was very attentive and made sure we enjoyed our experience. Was very helpful with ordering. We will be recommending them and returning for another excellent steak! Thank you for making my birthday special. Vicki Figg

    Great food and service. We were on a time limit and all worked out well. There was a little confusion on the checks as I had mentioned during the reservation as well as the confirmation calls that I received that it would be individual checks and one of the servers for one of our tables was insistent that a table of 6 ppl needed to be on one ticket. Not sure why restaurants still try to enforce this. People dining out that are not in a family will always need individual checks. I've been dining at Salt multiple times and with larger groups and it hasn't been an issue in the past.

    We visited Salt on Mass to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We had a fantastic experience. Our server Hannah was the absolute best server that we have had at any restaurant...bar none! She was personable, gave lots of information, great advice and her energy was so positive and reassuring. It was truly a pleasure to be served by Hannah, she is a gem to this restaurant. Our food choices were magnificent, we all cleared our plates...we had no issues with any of the food preparation, temperature, taste, etc. Our experience was a 10/10. We will definitely return.

    The manager chose to move us to the presidential table instead of the high top that was noted as the only table available at our time slot (we reserved knowing our one year old could sit in our portable highchair at a high top). He thought the round booth would be better for us and it was terrific! Cozy and quiet with plenty of room. Our server was great, presenting specials and giving us suggestions, while being patient as it was our first visit! The food was delicious! Our one year got antsy and we were able to let him walk around a bit in the back dining area (no patrons) and watch the street view. Everyone was very professional and welcoming. We will definitely be back (maybe without the 1 year old!)

    We came in before a comedy show at the Egyptian Room. We only had a limited amoutnof time so we order drinks and app. The waitress was quick and accommodating. Food was amazing as always. We got the kung poa shrimp, calamari and lobster bisque. Only complaint was there was only one piece of lobster in the soup. Definitely doesnt make it worth the $12 but the flavor was great!
