    My wife and I are here on our honeymoon and were told we need to go to Red Salt for a nice dinner. Shanna was incredible. Knowledgable and on top of everything. The food was outstanding. There was a minor hiccup with the steak temperature that they handled flawlessly. I’m impressed by the service and the flavors. We’ll see y’all on our anniversary!
