What Cliff P likes about BlackSalt:
We were celebrating a birthday, and asked for a quiet table, and we were seated in the Wine Room, and it was perfect. We shared a calamari appetizer, and had halibut and crab cakes for the entrees. We shared key lime pie for dessert, and the restaurant provided a special birthday dessert. Service was excellent, and the food was delicious. View all feedback. What Beau Ondricka doesn't like about BlackSalt:
The back room was so noisy that it was impossible to carry on a conversation. We’d asked for a quite table, but it was the opposite. While the food and service were good, we won’t dine at Black Salt again because of the noise. View all feedback.

It was good, a little pricey but worth it. Not crowded so it felt safe. Multiple servers made tipping standard. Loved the open kitchen and fresh fish counter

Great food, service. Perfect for a special occasion or business dinner. A bit expensive but it shows in the quality of the food, presentation and service.
