    Salt may very well be my favorite restaurant in New Brunswick. The service is very good to great and the food is wonderful. There is plenty on the menu for us to choose from. We shared the lobster cobb salad (delicious) and I ordered the special sole which was terrific. Gave it a lower rating this time as my husband ordered seafood risotto as his entree. He does not eat any fish that isn't white (gray, pink, etc.) so specifically asked what kind of fish was in the risotto. The response was "white". It was mostly beige and there was quite a bit of it. He ended up picking it all out. We did not send the entree back as we had theatre tickets and knew returning the meal would take time. With all the choices, he definitely would have ordered something else. In the future, we will be sure to ask the specific type of fish.

    Food was exceptional, as was the service. Drinks were awesome. Terrific place, half hour from the food wasteland we live in in NJ. Cool college town I've never spent any time in. Will be back!
