| - Don't get me wrong, I've been to Saltlik a number of times. Unfortunately this last visit was a real bummer. If we return I hope to update this review with a far superior rating.
We had family in town and wanted a nice steak, so naturally Saltlik came to mind. The 4 of us all ordered the special of the night, the Filet Mignon medium rare. I had the lobster mashed potatoes, my hubby had the garlic mashed potatoes, my MIL had the salad & her spouse had the lobster mashed potatoes as well.
As we waited we ordered the Calamari and Duo Dip starters. Personally I was disappointed that the Beef Carpaccio wasn't on the menu anymore, it's a personal favorite. The environment was loud and chaotic. It's not the restaurants fault that a select group of patrons had no respect for the other dinners, so moving on.
Finally! Dinner arrives and everything looks lovely. We dig in and the first comment comes from my MIL's partner comments that the Bearnaise sauce is cold, we all agree. This seems odd to us and the (not room temperature but darn right cold) sauce is cooling down the steaks. Then we try the potatoes and all 3 of us have cool potatoes. Talk about disappointing, but we continue to eat.
The steaks seemed fine initially but when I got just shy of the first bite from the side of mine it was rare, not medium rare as I had requested. I politely asked for mine to be sent steak back and cooked a bit more. I kept my potatoes because by this point I was starving! The potatoes were not my favorite (personally I'd prefer smaller lobster pieces) but I worked around them. After i sent my steak back my husband decided his was too rare too and sent his back as well. The server offered to take his potatoes back, which interestingly she had not done with me. I also asked the server to have the Bearnaise warmed, to which she returned to the table to inform me that the chef said 'it was suppose to be that way, and would taste disgusting if it wasn't at room temp." I insisted and oddly enough it tasted far better slightly warmed. *ahem* Might I remind you it wasn't even room temp when it was served, it was down right cold. From there on out things were 'fine'. At the end when we asked for the bill another gentleman approached the table and offered us desert on the house because he understood there had been issues with the meals. Needless to say it was nearly closing time and my in-laws had early business meetings the next day and we politely declined. He insisted so we agreed to 2 desserts to go. Certainly a nice gesture but for the price of their steak meals I expect better quality that what we experienced.
Will we return? Perhaps. For the $$ I know of a few other places that have yet to let us down.
