| - This review is conflicting. Salt enticing interior was the first thing to intrigue me. After that, the restaurant was kind of disappointing.
Although they have farm to table quality, I found the conceptually driven menu to be kind of scary. I don't know this chef, do I trust him/her with choosing interesting pairings? How do I know that my one word dinner plate is going to be amazing? Well, you just don't.
I found my experience to be hit or miss with food. We tried four plates and two apps with three cocktails.
The winner of the event was a tiny little salad, where the cucumber melon dressing was a stand-out by far. My pineapple mojito was amazing, and my roommates drink was fantastic as well. It was all over the place with consistency. I found my seitan sandwich to be such a joke. Really, the roll they used tasted like it was purchased from Sam's Club...not a local bakery. Although, my sister's salmon was fantastic and extremely well cooked.
Originator of Pittsburgh and currently located in Boston, I am absolutely immune to expensive dinner prices at this point, but I find the prices at Salt to be WAY to expensive for Pittsburgh. NYC priced dinner? No thank you most live-able city.
Although problematic, I would come back, but possibly for cocktails and appetizers, not an entire meal. I think Salt just needs to get their feet on the ground and understand who they are feeding.
