Reviews for Salt in Lakewood, OH
I had high hopes for this place after seeing the menu and photos. They weren't kidding about the small plates but I didn't... expect this tapas like place to take a long time to take out (and this ain't Europe). Don't come here on weekend nights andexpect fast service. The vegetarian dishes, except the kalletes, weren't up to par, making them overpriced for my taste. Themeat and fish dishes are okay, but I find the lack of seasoning surprising and the flavors unmemorable. Read more
My wife and I ate here last night. The food was really excellent. Some of the best I've ever had. Just delicious and tremendous.... Service was very good. But the portions were just too small for the prices. I knew they were small plates going in, tapas typestuff, but it was just simply not worth it. We got 5 plates with waters (no sodas or adult bevs) for a total for $81 + tip. Mywife said she could have eaten all 5 by herself and still be hungry. I could have eaten 10 of them. We talked about going to getmore food somewhere else immediately after leaving since we were both hungry still. I'm down for a fancy meal, and the food wasdelicious, but we didn't think it was good enough to consider returning. Just not for us. 5 stars for the quality of the food. 1star for the value/portions. 3 stars overall. Read more
Very modern, cool, and unique place. Contemporary industrial decor and an extremely crazy menu full of things you'll never see... anywhere else. Small plates for sharing or eating a few. They recommend getting 2-3 plates per person. Veggie options as well asfish and meat. Everything is very small but packs a flavorful punch. Read more
A memorable dining experience with silky sauces, tender calamari, the best asparagus and crispy prosciutto i have ever had.... Miso braised short rib melted off the bone. You cannot beat live music, great food, family, friends and impeccable, attentiveservice. Simply outstanding! Read more
A fancy restaurant that combines the ingredients and cooking skills all over the world. The food are all in small plates, and... here I highly recommend the rabbit savory! Have never eaten that delicious meat like it! The calamari is also good! Not fullysure what they did but the outside tasted like salted egg yolk! Read more
Innovative flavors and combinations. Couple misses and I think the menu changes so I'd go back. Don't go for the standard, I... guess, beef, potato, they were ok but nothing special. The more specialty stuff was awesome (octopus, rabbit sausage, smokedyogurt.) Definitely worth a try seasonally. Read more
So delicious I had to leave a review. Every single dish was unique and out of this world with flavor! Two of us dinning, and we... shared 6 small plates (2 vegetables, 2 fish, 2 meats) oh, and of course dessert! It was the right amount of food. The collardgreens, served with grits and a cornbread crumble crouton was out of this world. The calamari stood out as well, in a sweetercoconut type sauce. The pork belly dish was phenomenal, the textures were on point. Cocktails were also 10/10: the Manhattan andsazarac off the menu were perfection. Our server was promptly, and service was great. This might be my new favorite restaurantin the Cleveland area. I love that they offer a rotating menu, can?t wait to come back! Read more
Salt is all about small plates, which allows a chef to showcase their varied skills. The skills are endless here! The 'cultured... mushroom conserva' was exceptional! Maitake mushrooms are like tender chicken thighs, and the Hazelnut cheese had just the rightamount of tang. The 'gefilte fish cake' was delicate and flavorful and the carrot horseradish puree was a perfect compliment.The 'veal breast' was scrumptious, with just the right amount of fat, crisp and flavor. The 'beef heart kushiyaki' wasincredibly tender and the curried pumpkin was a lovely infusion. We also had the 'calamari' and the 'kalettes'. Everything wasexpertly cooked and presented. The bartender deserves a shout out as well for the Grand Fig.and the Vesper which were both verywell balanced. The service was top notch! Definitely one of the many reasons Cleveland is ON THE MAP as far as food goes! Read more
