| - Oh hai, Salt. I finally got to try you out after booking a table on NYE.
I have to break my review down into components because there were parts of Salt that I loved and parts that I really, really didn't like.
The Food: Super, ridiculously delicious. At the same time, it wasn't necessarily better than meals I've had at Eleven or M&P, etc., which was a bit of a disappointed as I went into it with (probably too) high of expectations.
The Drinks: Their mixed drinks left much to be desired; however, the wine and beer selections are pretty decent.
The Decor: LOVED the downstairs. HATED where we sat upstairs. We felt so isolated, like we were the lepers of society who needed to be contained. And the chalkboard menu is a cute idea, but I'm not really amused when I tell my waitress I can't see the board because a table is blocking it and she tells me to find the menu on my phone. Oh, you trendy, Salt, huh.
The Service: Our waitress was super friendly, attentive, and nice. I loved her voice, which may be a weird thing to say, but there it is.
Overall, I would love to go back to Salt because the food was that good, BUT I would sit downstairs and only drink beer or wine. The downstairs was way more happening.
Oh, and wtf was up with the music??? They started off playing classic rock (e.g., Pink Floyd) and randomly started playing house and pop music for like 15 minutes before they switched back. So. Effing. Weird.
