    We had a delicious dinner! The Potato Crusted Halibut was perfectly cooked. The avocado and tuna appetizer was also a great choice. The apple crumb pie was exactly how we like it, not overly sweet but a perfect ending to dinner. The service was great; our waitress said she also bartends and was able to make me a cocktail that wasn’t overly sweet but fruit forward, as I requested. Overall a great experience!

    Salt is our favorite seafood/fish restaurant and I’ve lost count how many times we’ve been. But this visit was absolutely the best. My husband broke out of his habit of starting with the octopus, which he says is the best here, and got the Ahi Tuna and Avocado and loved it: lean, thin slices with sesame seeds and a soy glaze. I had my favorite salad, the Salt Coastal salad, zingy with capers and scallions. Potato-crusted halibut was my husband’s entree, and another of his favorites, wonderful as always. But the star for me was the Red Snapper and I have to say- WOW: from the perfectly cooked filet topped with frizzled leeks, to the buttery, citrusy sauce, and creamy Yukon potatoes, a standout, which I will certainly order again. Desserts were awesome- fluffy, light cotton cake for me and tiramisu for him. If you haven’t been to Salt yet, BOOK IT NOW.

    Great food, great service and it’s right across from The Stress Factory. Great location for dinner and a show. Salt has quickly become a favorite seafood restaurant for us.

    One of my favorite restaurants, but the noise level in the basement was a bit much and the service gets a B-. Great food as always, but pick up the service a bit!
