Always love the options for food at Salt. Such great wine pairing options as well. Portion sizes are good - most dishes were nice for sharing with 4, but one (duck croquettes) was quite small. Really enjoyed everything including the service which was attentive without it being overbearing.

The food was delicious and each dish was brought out slowly so we could talk and enjoy the food before more came out. The wine was very good and the service was excellent!
