I first walked into Salt of the Earth a month back. I had some cousins in from out of town and I needed to find a restaurant to suit their dietary needs. My cousin only eats seafood or anything vegetarian. I had heard before that it gets really crowded and that people actually sit on benches. I was surprised when our waiter took us upstairs to a table with a set of chairs. I recommend the Seitan dish with chick pea, rapini, balsamic and I also loved the short rib with cauliflower, bearnaise, potato, and mushroom. We had a great wine from Chile: Terra Mater, Limited Reserve Carmenere, Curico Valley,2008.
The waitstaff was very helpful and I loved the ambiance and the design of the restaurant. Do yourself a favor and make reservations in advance!
