I tried Salt only after the new ownership and I must say, it never disappoints! Its my boyfriend's favorite restaurant and is definitely up there for me. I love watching the chefs create through the open kitchen. My favorite thing about it is their ability to create dishes using simple ingredients in the most creative ways. The food always looks so pretty on the plate and I've never had a bad meal. I'd rather sit upstairs than the communal tables if you don't have a large group. Overall, pretty amazing place.
