SALT offers a beautiful venue. Due to outstanding weather we were able to dine outside. Service at times was a bit slow but the staff were pleasant, friendly and helpful. While we waited for our party to arrive we enjoyed drinks on the bar patio. The bartenders are awesome and mix excellent drinks. The food was outstanding. Most of our party ordered the chicken and French toast. So yummy! I enjoyed the salmon Benedict which was delicious and the eggs were perfectly done. I chose salad for my side and it was fresh and tasty.
