Salt Tapas Bar is such a gem! Beautiful interior, lovely attentive staff, delicious cocktails and food. Each dish was timed perfectly to enjoy a relaxed meal. Food presentation was stunning and the taste equally as good. The beef tartar, potato brava and burrato beet watercrest salad were our favourites, but the pirri chicken and scallops were really well done too.Definitely planning to come back!Thank you for the wonderful dinning experience.

Food & wine is 10/10. I would recommend the scallop crudo, wagyu beef sliders, truffle gnocchi.Service was phenomenal!
The vibe and food were fantastic! The servers were on the pretentious side and not very helpful. The wine is listed by name and price not by type or with any descriptions so it's hard to know what to order and as mentioned the servers were not helpful with offering suggestions. If you can ignore the service, it's a super cool place to check out

Excellent food, great selection of wines and tapas. The service was incredible, our glasses were never empty and we food was spaced out properly. Would definitely come back.

Came with my husband for the Valentine’s Day Prix Fixe and we were far from disappointed. We had a charcuterie plank with truffled manchego, beet salad with burrata and watercress, scallop crudo, duck confit, paella, vanilla pot de creme and a dark chocolate cake. All spectacular and super flavourful. Service was friendly and efficient. Would absolutely return to try the regular menu as our server promised there were even better things to order.
Occasionally I eat a meal that tastes like an actual trained chef prepared it. Loved everything about this restaurant.

I made the reservation via open table and confirmed it when they sent me an email to do so a day before. I missed a call the day of to confirm but called them back and the man who answered was very condensing saying we have a table booked directly after your booking.We got there and everything was great- food, service, drinks, atmosphere and service.However, 10 minutes before our two hours cut off, a man -presumed to be the manager slaps the bill on the table and walks away. We never saw our original waitress again - who again was very lovely.This kind of dulled the experience because we still had drinks and dessert on the table making us feel rushed.I understand the premise of running a business but there could have been better communication and service from management. We never intended to stay past our allocated time but they could have asked us for last call or ask if they could get us the bill or even how it will be split.The simple toss of the bill on the table is simply unacceptable.

It was amazing overall until they essentially kicked us out.For context we did call ahead to let the restaurant know that we were going to be late, and they explained that their was another table booked immediately after us and this would forfeit us from the full seating. I did check in open table though and there was availability to book a table of the same size immediately after us, so there really was no need to rush us.That being said we did not anticipating staying past our allocated time slot, but we were not expecting 10 minutes to the end of our seating to have our bill slapped on the table with no words from a person who was not our server and who we had not seen before this point on the evening. We also did not see the woman who was our server again and was only served by a man who was clearly the manager on duty hovering near us waiting for us to pay the bill while still having desert and wine on the table.We loved our waitress but think the polite protocol from the restaurant should be for her to tell us when the cut off for food would be, and that our time was running out rather than encouraging us to order more food, or becoming absent once condescending manager took over. Having warnings about time would have been effective by someone who you had a relationship fostered through the evening not a manager with no introduction.Overall food was amazing as well as the waitstaff who took care of us through the night, however management needs to learn some tact.

They were up front about a 2hr time limit but the speed of their service did not match the need to seat another table so quickly after. We decided on more food so they took another order from us and 10 minutes later told us that we could either take seats at the bar or leave as our time limit expired. We chose to leave. Underwhelming plates and wine. The burrata salad was 90% watercress - we were looking for the cheese to no avail. Avoid and head to Oddseoul or the plethora of other good spots in the neighbourhood instead.

Everything was incredible, had a fantastic orange wine, server was very knowledgeable about the wine list as well as the spirits - tried Fernet, not my cup of tea but was interesting! The tapas were great, we got a charcuterie, olives, scallop crudo (which was fantastic) and tacos

Fabulous dinner! Each dish was better than the one before! The service was fantastic, with Norman (I believe that was the bartender's name) standing out! Will definitely be back!
