Salt of the Earth is a really good place with clever cocktails and a creative menu. The crab chili carrot spaghetti appetizer is excellent. It was clearly the highlight of the meal. It had a great scallion-y taste with a strong crab flavor. I liked it a lot.
Sadly, everything else I had the opportunity to try wasn't as good as the crab. The Pho was a little bit bland. The tofu with parmesan curry was OK. The sunchoke/cashew appetizer was OK.
My friend and I had the opportunity to sit at the chef's counter and we literally watched every great thing go by us one at a time. The shrimp over udon looked awesome. The halibut looked awesome. the duck looked awesome. I feel that my experience was the result of inexperienced ordering. Do not make the same mistakes that I have. Ordering wrong at Salt of the Earth is another bullet point in a long list of horrible regrets.
