| - Alright, so I finally got the chance to visit Salt after so many of my friends recommended the place, and eyeing it on Yelp.
Tuesday night dinner, no waiting for seats, but still a good amount of people for a Tuesday. Had the choice of sitting at the bar or communal tables. Chose communal tables for more of the dining experience.
Huge chalkboard, half drinks, half food. Had to crane my neck to read all of it, but it was fun. Ordered fried oysters w/ black eyed pea yoghurt, pineapple and pork belly, as well as the lamb tartare to start. Both starters were incredibly delicious and well presented. I recommend both.
For main course, we got the Scallops on cauliflower puree, lentils, and Chinese sausage, and the Duck with carrot puree, assorted veggies and duck ham. The scallop dip was tasty, but nothing special. The duck itself along with the asparagus and fava beans were perfectly cooked and seasoned, although the carrot puree tasted like baby food.
To end, we shared the Pineapple upside down cake with home-made whipped cream, and vanilla icecream with some French-press coffee. Delicious dessert, and the whipped cream tasted like it was infused with some sort of nut (mmmmm). Coffee was nothing to rave about.
All in all, a good tasting meal, and pretty creative at that. Although, portion sizes are a bit on the small side for the price, especially drinks. Beer was served in the same glass as the cocktail... go figure. Service wasn't phenomenal, just the basics, and food service was pretty slow.
