| - Don't be dissuaded by the negative reviews. It's inevitable that some people just can't accept how great this restaurant is. I get it.
There is a great layout and atmosphere. Downstairs is the bar and open tables for walk-ins, and the giant chalkboard menu on the wall. Your mother won't need to get our her reading glasses to see what's for dinner for this one, folks. If you want something a bit more intimate, there is seating upstairs, but that requires reservations.
The service was friendly and helpful, and they made excellent recommendations. Don't you hate the waitstaff that say, "Oh, the ribs are good, the sea bass is good if you like fish, and people like the gnocchi or the scallops." Thanks, man, you just named your entire menu! Nope, not here.
The menu changes up a bit, but I am still raving about (and craving for) this salmon sashimi dish. It was a play on lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel - the flavors were powerful - and it was in the genre of Wylie Dufresne's wd-50.
Listen, I don't get to go out much these days. If I did, I would have way more than 1 check-in at this place. Are you going to listen to the negative reviews and NOT eat here? I think that would be foolish. Let's make a deal: Eat at Salt of the Earth. If you're not 100% satisfied with your experience, then send me a check for $100 -and I'll go back here to confirm that you're crazy.
