SALT was amazing! The food tasted great, the drinks were delicious, and the PB&J bar was a tasty dessert to finish our experience. The ambience was very romantic and the noise level was perfect to maintain a private conversation at a normal level. The waiter & kitchen staff were great at accommodating food allergies and checking in with us about our different options for modifications.
