Had a hard decision between the Hanger Steak or Scallops, but I went with the steak and was not disappointed. The meat was cooked perfectly, and everything else on the plate was visually and orally pleasing.*
Came around 7pm on a Thursday and got seated downstairs right away, although 15min later there was a line of 6-10 waiting to sit.
Was surprised they only had one type of Scotch,** but it was a kind I like so it wasn't an issue.
Salt was close to a 5 star meal, but two things grinded my gears:
- I'm really over the chalkboard menus, especially at a place like Salt with a lot of options. There's a lot to take in on their menu and it's annoying to have to keep turning around to see everything. I almost got whiplash since I couldn't decide what to order***.
- For a $$ meal I would prefer a back to my seat. Yes, the place has a cool vibe, and the communal benches look cool.. but I'd like some comfort while I enjoy my $9 lettuce wraps and $21 steak.

*** Okay, it wasn't THAT bad, but still, Salt has a great menu and I'd like to read it without the guy a table over thinking I'm starring at him
