The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the staff was friendly.

Disappointed doesn’t even begin to cover it. After doing a little research about the area, this seemed like a solid choice for my colleague and I to stop for a meal before a work event. Boy were we mistaken. The first red flag should have been that there were not any other diners in the restaurant. We ordered the baked Brie as an appetizer- that was ok. Nothing to write home about. Mostly just crostinis drenched in balsamic vinegar with a wedge of Brie cheese. Next we ordered the pesto linguine and chicken kebabs to share. Linguine was pretty stander. The chicken kebabs were RAW - and I mean RAW - not cooked whatsoever in the middle. The waitress comes over and asks if we want them to be cooked longer - we say yes and assume that they’ll send out new chicken and probably discount our bill. Nope. They send back out the same chicken skewers - including the little crumbs we had cut off - and did not discount the bill. It was very odd. and we were totally grossed out. Especially after watching one employee leave the bathroom and immediately pick his nose. Do not recommend. There seemed to be way better options in that general area that sadly did not come up on Google in our search before our trip.

Ordered several items- each and every one of them was disappointing to say the least

What a gem in Newton! Ended up here for a late lunch, will return for dinner. Love the outdoor seating under the lamps and the stellar service! Great cocktails and fusion.

Before I go into any detail about the food, let me say that my rating of it (2 stars) is partially in relation to the cost. I certainly expected more for the price.
The restaurant bills itself as "fusion" but the menu is less fusion of cuisines than a jumble of dishes from different parts of the world. The atmosphere is equally confusing. One wall inexplicably had changing interior and exterior images of a fake Vermont country store (or something like that?) being projected on it despite the fact that there were framed pictures hanging there too. The windows conspicuously need cleaning.
Our server was pleasant but not attentive. She had the unenviable job of informing us that they were out of multiple items we attempted to order.
We split a salad which turned out to be missing some of the ingredients that had led us to choose it. The dressing was bland, and that descriptor was peculiarly true of nearly every dish that followed.
Maybe, given the glowing reviews that some have written, we just caught the food on an off night (it was a Saturday evening and not particularly busy... no obvious excuse for it to be so). But I'm not inclined to give it that benefit of the doubt.

Wonderful restaurant. Portion sizes are large and the food is delicious. Highly recommend the seafood bowl; the salmon might have been the most tender I've ever had!

Last night was so delightful to dinner at this restaurant. Food amazing, I was so impressed by the quality, and specially the taste and presentation. From the appetizers to the main dishes to the end with desserts, the whole experience was impeccable. Waitresses very attentive, beautiful job. Impeccable!! Thanks for existing a place like this. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

We recently made a reservation for a party of seven at the Blue Salt restaurant. We were informed of a hefty $100 deposit requirement. We were told, the deposit would only be forfeited if we canceled within less than 48 hours of our reservation. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we canceled within the restaurant's 48-hour policy. However, the deposit was not returned. When I contacted the restaurant, a representative insisted that I accept a gift certificate instead of refunding the deposit. I find this totally unacceptable! The individual who answered the phone during my second call was both rude and unhelpful. After a firm mention of filing a complaint with the Office of the Attorney General, they finally refunded our deposit.
Blue Salt provided a catering service to us for a local family event. The food and the staff were wonderful. The servers were vigilant about set up, resolved any challenges on the go, adjusted as needed. The presentation of the dishes was perfect, the various dishes were absolutely delicious (we had a few different vegetable appetizers and kebabs and stuffed mushrooms) and not too "heavy". The meats could use more flavor but overall were good and had wonderful sauces to go with them. And at the end of it all my kitchen was clean, trash was put away, food scraps were composted, and I have no clean up, yay!

Horrible uncooked food. One of the worst restaurants I’ve ever been to. Unhygienic and disgusting dump. Would not recommend it. Nice waitress , horrible cook and food.

Wow!! This is a hidden gem! We came from Brighton and this place surprised us. Each of our dishes were so good, and I'm usually wary of fusion places. I looved my Moroccan tagine. The rice with the kebabs were so flavorful. And there was only one option for dessert, but it was really nice and light (Ukrainian medovik cake?). If it weren't so far I would come more often but even so I'm thinking of coming back! It's a nice atmosphere too.

This past weekend, we had a large gathering for friends & family using Igor Catering (Blue Salt Restaurant) and we are so happy that we did! The food was delicious - very flavorful & fresh! The menu had a lot of great offerings! We especially loved the lamb chops, smoked salmon & chicken kebob. All of our guests commented on how wonderful the food was. We used Igor Catering in the past & will certainly do so again at our next opportunity.
Anything Igor touches has this magic about it— decadent, savory, just-what-you-needed meals prepared extraordinarily fresh makes everyone else pale in comparison. Thank you for having me, большое спасибо.
