| - Recently travelled to Salt with two girlfriends to start our night off right on the Ossington strip. Admittedly, my first pick was Foxley, but with a 2 hour wait at 9 pm, we decided to give Salt a try instead. We called ahead on our way down and on arrival were seated at a cozy table by the bar (thank you wind-stopping velvet curtain). It was packed but the numerous tea lights by the wine bottles that line the walls made it feel intimate. After downing a healthy glass of gin/lemon/lime fizz complete with multiple brandied cherries, we were escorted to our dining table for the main attraction.
We shared goat cheese, calamari, tuna, salad plates and of course frites (some of the best I've had). The plates were small but decorative. The taro chips were a nice addition to the tuna ceviche dish and after splitting a bottle of vino verde, our palates were satisfied. We finished off dinner with the passion fruit creme brulee, which lasted a total of 2.5 minutes of spoon attack.
Overall, our experience was good and the service was great. Props to waitstaff who love food and share their taste gusto with recommendations and authentic opinions of menu fare. The plates were small and pricey, though, so if your stomach is walking you down the street, this may not be the most financially responsible choice.
Yearning for another brandied cherry as I write this. Yum.
