   This was the best dinner experience I’ve ever had. From the ambiance, to our servers vast knowledge of the restaurant, down to the INCREDIBLE food- everything was five stars! We took the server’s recommendation for the chefs star menu item- the tuna pizza! Wow- I had no words. As the main I had our servers favorite, the roasted duck with a carrot roasted crumble, the most delectable mash with truffles! The smoked espresso martini was a smash hit, and I’m not a martini gal. The care and attention to detail from flavor profiles to where they source their ingredients has me in utter awe of Chef Akira Back. Details is the word that comes to mind with this experience, I mean down to the dishes having a painting from the chefs mother on them! This Chef and the wonderful staff here have perfected the ART that is the backbone of a culinary experience. BRAVO!

   Our experience at Salt & the Cellar was excellent! Honestly it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a while. Our server Perola was awesome. She was so personable, friendly and provided excellent service. I would absolutely recommend Salt & the Cellar to friends and family and I look forward to coming back the next time I’m in Orlando.

   For a party of 2, they automatically charge a 20% tip, the service is not worthy of a 20% tip. The tip is at the discretion of the client when not in a group situation. The food arrived before the wine. Food sent back and came back cold.

   An exceptional dining experience with impeccable service, a warm ambiance, and beautifully crafted dishes. Every bite is a delight, from the flavorful appetizers to the exquisite desserts. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, and the cocktails are top-notch. A must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable meal

   Everything we hoped for from start to finish. Paul was an awesome server and we so appreciate our server who delivered the dishes with explanations of our courses. The aroma from the moment you walk into the hotel throughout dinner was slight and appealing to my over sensitive senses. Crab cake, tacos , veg fried rice, chicken dish and AB in a cup for finish was perfect. The fried rice is what “fried rice” should taste like every time! We will seek out other AB restaurants when we travel going forward. Thank you for an amazing experience and dinner.

    Great meal! Service was excellent! The tuna pizza was great, the prices are a bit over the top but it’s a great experience!
