Food was good, albeit overpriced. Not sure how an entree and one nonalcoholic drink ended up at $42pp, unless it was added fees. Our server was delightful, weather was nice, but outdoor seating on the sidewalk (downhill) wasn't my jam.

Overall, our food and wine selection was very good with the exception of the salmon dish. It was a berry poor cut of salmon, tasteless. Our server wasn't that attentive, nor warm and hospitality focused. She seemed rushed, stressed, at seemed to forget our table at times. The evening was fine, but not up to your usual standards.

The food is always exceptional. We look forward to dining here when we are in town. We had a minor issue with our bill and the staff took care of it. Thanks Salt and Iron, we can't wait to come back again hopefully soon!

Went here for Father's Day. It was busy as expected so service was a tad bit slow. However had a great time with my family. Food was flavourful and lots of great options for our kids too. Overall had a great experience and will come back.

Food was not great. The kids (adult) have ordered burgers dozens of times from Salt and Iron and this evening they were all very dry. I ordered a Steak Salad (filet) and the steak was tough and the dressing for the salad was Smokey (chipotle like) and just didn't taste good. The appetizers were good (Oysters and Bone Marrow). Perhaps it was an off evening for the food. Either way we would come back for appetizers and the good service.

This is our favorite restaurant because the staff is so friendly and wonderful every time, the food is delicious and also because I am easily able to eat keto/carnivore here!

Plenty pretentious, poor service, and the food was nothing special.
Not worth the sticker price. There are several better places to eat in Edmonds.
Had high hopes when going in, it was a Thursday evening, the place was about 25% full, plenty of staff, nice atmosphere, menu looked decent. I ordered a med-rare steak salad. My partner ordered the short ribs.
Over 60 mins later, it was obvious they forgot our order. By the time we got our food, it was clear this was the case, my steak was very rare, clearly rushed. And the short ribs were a greasy heap, with a pile of asparagus tossed on top.
You could tell someone cared about the menu at some point, but it wasn’t the chef or the staff that day. What we received was a lazy, rushed, mess.
It was weird. We won’t be going back.

We had excellent service. Our waiter was very energetic and warming to make us feel we were being taken care of. The food was really well put together, between the sauce under the duck to the doneness of the steak. Their deserts and cocktails help bring together a wonderful meal.

We have been stopping here ever since we discovered them, in 2020. They used to have a “Cowboy Steak” that was so delicious. We have stopped by every time we have been to Seattle. It is sadly coming off of our “must visit” list. The burgers were very gamey, however the grilled octopus was still delicious and tender. One dish is not enough for us to stop here any more. Maybe, when they bring back their cowboy steak. 🫤

Excellent food and overall atmosphere. Had the calamari, steak salad, and risotto and all were delicious and left me feeling satisfied.
Modern steakhouse that truly delivers—rare 5-star experience. It’s not often I give out a full 5-star rating, but Salt & Iron in Edmonds definitely earned it. From the quality of the food to the thoughtful menu pairings, this spot impressed me from start to finish—despite a rocky start to the service.
The vibe is modern, classy, and energetic—perfect for a Friday night dinner. The lighting is warm, the seating is comfortable, and there’s a great mix of intimate tables and lively energy from the bar and open kitchen. Definitely a good place for date nights or small group gatherings.
While it’s a modern American steakhouse, I appreciated the intentional pairings and fresh ingredients that made each dish feel unique and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell this place isn’t just putting food on a plate—it’s curated.
Everything we ordered was on point. We originally ordered the fried calamari, but our server recommended we try the sautéed calamari instead—and I’m glad we did. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. For the main, we had a surf and turf combo featuring the New York strip and shrimp, paired with mashed potatoes and grill asparagus. The shrimp was cooked just right with a good hit of garlic. We also ordered a Beet & Spinach salad to share. The salad was super fresh and balanced, Every bite of the entrée had that satisfying flavor harmony you hope for.
Cost: 4.5/5 Prices are what you’d expect for a modern steakhouse, but the quality more than justifies the price. We didn’t feel like anything was overpriced for what we received. Great value for a full, satisfying meal with upscale presentation.
Service: 4.5/5 Service started off slow since the place was packed, but once we were greeted by our server, the experience turned around quickly. She was attentive, gave honest recommendations, and checked in at all the right times without being intrusive.
Final Salt & Iron checks all the boxes—great food, creative dishes, solid service, and a polished vibe. It’s rare for me to leave a steakhouse this satisfied, but this one nailed it. Highly recommend for a date night or a celebration dinner. Will definitely be coming back.

We had brunch on Mother's Day and our server, Trevor, was awesome! Super friendly, really attentive, and just made the whole experience amazing. He gave great menu suggestions — we ended up trying the cinnamon roll, chilaquiles, and the brunch burger and everything was delicious! Even though the place was super busy, he checked in on us at all the right times, kept our drinks full, and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Service like that makes a big difference. We had a great time and will definitely be back — hopefully with Trevor taking care of us again.

Food was very good but noise level high... hard to converse. We had to change tables but still high level noise. Perhaps almost too much service!!
Jeff
We had the great drinks, oysters, steak, seafood and accompaniments ! Best in Edmonds - Best in all of Washington !

I'd say worth the price. Probably a 4.7 overall on the food front. Hard not to like
