This is truly a hidden gem. The food, drinks, the staff, the entertainment all were amazing. I had the sea scallops with truffle risotto and I’m still thinking about it.. we were offered a complimentary “4 S’s” shot and it was SO good. Our entertainment was a wonderful singer, insanely talented and beautiful sang all genres. We were there later at night so not a full house, but nothing was scaled back even with a smaller crowd. Definitely put this on your list!

Salt was a new experience for us. Amazing ambiance, good service, and exceptional food. Shared appetizers included Asian style tuna tartar (well seasoned and beautifully presented) and grilled octopus (tender and flavorful) and salad. Entrees included steak with chimichuri sauce, rice and beans and plantains, seafood pasta, and seafood stew. Generous portions, lovely presentation! Recommended!
