| - My boyfriend took me to this place when he was trying to stop me from giving him the silent treatment... and it worked!
If I remember correctly, as soon as you enter you head down a flight of curly stairs (thus, the Salt CELLAR). I believe you're supposed to have a reservation, but we just walked on in and asked if we could be seated.
Seating was a little strange but we got over it. The place is strange in general, so if you're looking for "normal" you should probably save this for a later date. We sat in a tiny room with another family on the opposite end. The lighting is very dim and romantic, and the entire feel is very "couple-sy", so you should probably steer clear if you're going through a breakup.
Our server was a straight up Lobster connoisseur. She broke that puppy into beautiful savory little pieces in seconds flat, leaving us with the shell in tact (probably so that we could revel in how much better she was able to do it than we ever would have been, which we did).
We went all out and had the full course meal, complete with paired glasses of wine. It was quite the pricey treat, but it was worth it.
Noteworthy appetizer: The oysters are absolutely heavenly. I have only ever eaten oysters previously at Casey Moores Oyster House, so it was nice to be able to try them somewhere else... but there was no comparison, Salt Cellar's oysters far exceeded my expectations.
Expect to pay well over $100 for two, my fellow cheapskates!
