    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!

    We loved our oysters, the special lobster pot pie (appy) and the parpadell pasta with seafood. Top it off with the cotton cake, old fashions to start and a wonderful Sancerre.... it was perfection . Our server michael was great as were the other folks helping to make our experience special ...... my only drawback and my fault...... a late reservation left only high top table available. Never my favorite..... until next time!
