Salts Restaurant

Best meal in Boston. I went here on a date and this was seriously the best meal I've had in all my years in Boston. The farm egg appetizer dish was extremely creative and delicious, and the free range chicken ballotine entree was absolutely the most tender chicken I have ever tasted. The lemon souffle tart dessert was rich and gave you a little bit of everything. I highly recommend it. I thought the portion sizes were reasonable.

The restaurant itself is small, but you still have enough privacy for an intimate conversation. The waitstaff are attentive without being oppressive, and are quite knowledgeable about the wines and menu.

The location leaves a bit to be desired. It's certainly not dangerous, but it's not in a romantic or quaint neighborhood where you'd stroll around for kicks. You could, however, take a short half-mile walk over to the Charles River for a nice night time stroll.…

Chef's tasting is the way to go & the VALUE is >100%. Ordered chef's tasting menu for 2 people: Excellent balance of flavors, attention to detail, presentation, timing, quantity, description by waiter, accustomed to your likes/dislikes. We are considered foodies by friends and family and try not to go to the same places too much, so we have been to many. This was "our best meal in Boston" and that says a TON!…

Come here if you want a mouth full of dirt!. I went to Salts for my anniversary, and I was very disappointed. I had heard so many good things about the restaurant and I really wanted to like it. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and romantic, but when it comes down to it, the most important thing is the food. We started with the hamachi was alright and then I ordered the beef and by boyfriend ordered the chicken. The portions of the food were a bit small, but were managable. Ironically, the thing that most of the food (and even the butter with the bread) was missing was, well, salt! I feel like if you're going to name your restaurant after salt, your food should be pretty damn well seasoned. Otherwise, you're silly. What was even more hilarious was that the restaurant was so pretentious about their food that they didn't even have salt/pepper on the table-- isn't that crazy? But that wasn't even the worst part of the meal. It was probably when I bit into an organic oyster mushroom and found a lovely amount of dirt in my mouth..yum.. It was actually kinda funny when the waiter didn't believe that I had dirt in my mouth, because after he had cleared our plates and returned to our table, I put out my clean, white napkin on the table with a huge spot of dirt on it.. that he had to touch and clear away. Overall, Salts did not live up to my expectations of having a night of delicious food. I would avoid this place at all costs.…
