Salt Cellar is a hidden gem for the Valley locals. The building itself is humble on the outside and magical on the inside. My dad has lived in Tempe most his life, so I was introduced to the restaurant at an early age. After entering, you'll follow the staircase down to the bar and restaurant area. It's an intimate space but not cramped. Low lighting and ambient music make for the perfect setting for a romantic date or even a buzzed family dinner (my choice).
The servers and bartenders are as attentive and considerate as can be. They are friendly and thoughtful, offer genuine suggestions and never let you go without whatever you may need. The menu includes fresh Maine lobster, other seafoods, and specialty beef selections. The wine and spirit selection is always more than adequate. The food quality can't be beat, especially for a seafood restaurant in Arizona.
If you haven't been to the Salt Cellar yet, make a reservation soon. It's a beautiful little hole in the wall that will become an instant favorite.
