As a lover of expertly crafted cocktails, I am incredibly grateful for Salt. In my humble opinion, North Arlington is lacking when it comes to craft cocktails so I'm happy Salt decided to fill this need. The cherry on top is the tasty food to go with the tasty cocktails!

Excellent service, excellent drinks, and great food! The entrance is a bit hard to find but once you get over that it’s a fantastic experience! This was my first time here but I’m sure to return!

Feeling Salty after my experience at Salt. What was meant to be a sweet experience turn sour after dealing restaurant staff. It started when I called 2 hrs ahead to change my reservation from 5 to 4 people and to let them know I was running 10 mins late. The hostess on the phone had a dismissive attitude and made comments about us needing to alter our reservation. Even after the rude interaction on the phone we still looked forward to our reservation. We arrived 15 mins after our reservation started. While I was parking my friends went in and they informed me the hostess displayed a micro aggressive attitude. We figured maybe she was just having a bad day and try not to let it ruin the night. However our server Ricky was hands down the rudest server I have ever encountered. He rolled his eyes at us and spoke sarcastically to us when we asked simple questions about the menu. The only thing that saved the night was the delicious food. The night was ruined and left a bad taste in not only my mouth but also my friends from out of town.
This restaurant was amazing. Great food, excellent drinks. The entry was a little confusing but it was definitely worth it.

The best part about this place is the music. By that I mean the music is at a volume where you can ACTUALLY TALK WITHOUT SCREAMING. I love the chill, classy atmosphere and the cocktails are delicious and gorgeously made.

Hands down my favorite place to get both cocktails and mocktails! I usually do not order out mocktails but the mocktails are inventive (especially the smokeshow) and the food quality is really high. I LOVE the vegetarian gnocchi and their fries are crispy and tasty. The meatballs are always a hit at our table and while the prices are a smidge pricey, it’s worth it. I love the atmosphere and the vibes are always right and I would recommend a reservation.Vegetarian options: Some veggie options

Jamie always keeps our SALT experience top notch. My friend and I always request her table when we visit, and she pays great attention to detail. Our experience started with an excellent greeting from Brittany, the mater dei, And continued with Jamie's. Excellent service and the smooth old fashioned that Ricky makes with Uncle nearest 1884. Think your entire team for continuing the excellent service we receive!

The food was excellent. The cocktails were very solid, although not amazing. Service was good, although they told us that we had to leave after two hours even though there were empty tables and no one seemed to be waiting. Great ambience. I would definitely go back.

A neat little restaurant. Overall the food and drinks were excellent. Our server was very attentive. This would be a great place to catch up with friends or relatives again in the future.
Just went for drinks. As always, excellent cocktails. The service this visit was not my favorite. We had moments where a server would come to the table ask if our drinks were okay, then a moment later another server would ask the same exact question. It was almost comical. It happened 3 total times during this visit and it was rather annoying while trying to have a conversation.

I've been here several times and every single time the service and food/drinks are amazing. Each time I've been I've tried a different dish or drink and I've yet to find something that I didn't enjoy. That said if you're looking for a great night of dining I highly recommend salt. Also things to know Salt is part of a chain of restaurants which include Heirloom Reston,VA and Trio Grill Fairfax, VA. I've been to these as well and they are not at the same caliber as Salt. So if you're trying to decide just pick Salt. Lastly make a reservation as Salt is a small restaurant and usually booked up.

I was eager to come to Salt after a friend told me about them and had good things to say. The ambiance is sexy, they have tables and booths that give it a lounge vibe. The lights are dim, it's giving date night or girls night for sure. Service was stellar. Food was very tasty. I ordered the truffle fries, pork belly, bolognese, and the chocolate cheesecake. Amazing! By th time I ate all that I was full. Drinks were great too. I had a shot of tequila and Prosecco. I will definitely return.
