    I always gauge my desire to go back to a restaurant and try the same dish again to truly evaluate the impact of the outing. In this case, I certainly do crave the chef soup and the duck. My wife had a quiet and intimate dinner. The service was impeccable and the value is what is expected from a place like Salt. I will return.

    A mixed bag is the best way to describe our dinner Salt. The cocktails we had on arrival were great and the staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful however not everything was up to scratch. Our entres arrived well before we had finished our appetisers and so were sitting out on the table cooling while we finished off. The pork ribs were nice but the pork shank was pretty dry and hard and would certainly have benefitted from a good sauce.

    Everyone loves the quail knots appetizer and my favorite is the shishito peppers. 2 of the men loved the duck but it’s small for a man’s entree, needed more vegetables. I loved my Filet Mignon and our other party member enjoyed his rabbit We shared the table Mac n Cheese which all really liked. The service was impeccable and drinks were perfect as hoped! SALT always delivers!

    Food was bomb. Duck was soft and sweet. NY Steak was flavorful and juicy (some parts had a tad too much fat). Mac & Cheese was divine. Service was sub par. We didn't know where our server was the entire dinner (birthday celebration too) and they told us "everyone is your server" when we asked even though we were repeatedly told a certain individual would be with us "shortly" (I'll leave out the name). I think we got lucky someone noticed we hadn't yet received drinks and we took that opportunity to place our food order. Nobody came to our table, and I had to flag down staff to pay the bill. I feel like I wouldn't have to leave a bad review had we been serviced like the guests around us.

    Salt is fresh and yummy! Portions are large so I recommend ordering a few plates tapas style and sharing. The cocktails are delicious and desserts are even better. I love coming here when I’m in town for work. Great place to take customers and wow them with fine dining on the border.

    I ordered the Ahi as I love fresh fish. Save your $38 and consider something else when you dine here. The fish was mediocre at best and wasn't as fresh as stated. The set was something I would have never expected. The fish was overdressed and only came with wilted greens and 3-4 orange segments. The food cost of this dish couldn't be more than $15. I hope they will consider a price adjustment on this dish moving forward.

    We arrived and asked for a table outside as the restaurant was really jumping! But, that was too loud for us to carry on a conversation. Our wait person was very attentive and simply amazing. We started out with some signature SALT drinks that were very good. Our burratta appetizer came, but, funnily enough, the tomatoes that were part of the dish lacked salt. We ordered the pork chop, which was cooked to perfection and had the best chicharron layer. To accompany that we selected the house made mac and cheese. The ziti used is made in house and has a nice al dente bite. The cheese sauce was excellently flavored. Dessert was a blondie served with a peach bourbon ice cream. I felt that the ice cream could use more peach flavor, however it was well made-creamy and cold. We'd like to come again and try their menu as it changes seasonally.

    So glad we found SALT! The menu had unique dishes and the food and cocktails (prickly pear - both pretty & tasty!] were outstanding. Our server was attentive and helpful. We had the sweetbreads (they’re wrapped in bacon!) and the quail knots as appetizers (would love to know how they twisted it into a knot!), and the pork shank and duck for entrees. It was the best duck I ever had and the pork was delicious too, and the Pan De Campo (pancake like bread) that was with the pork was so good, with butter and spiced honey. My only complaint is that I live in New Jersey.

    It was just ok. For the price it wasn’t worth it. The staff was welcoming but the portions was small and prices are high. 4 people and the bill was over $325. Without tip. One bottle of wine 1 soda, and two mix drinks. I just excepted something a little better for the price

    The sweetbreads were to die for, the scallops simply melted in your mouth. The duck breast was good but for me, a little gamey and over cooked. The loaded baked potatoes were great. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and the dining experience. It is a restaurant we'll visit again and one we would invite friends to.
