The halibut and steak tartare were great, and the service was very prompt and polite. Great experience!

I didn't really feel like I went into the restaurant for my meal as the front area we sat in was cold as it was near the front door. Many people came in and out. I was hoping to have better seating. As I was one to mention it was my husbands and my anniversary. It felt like I was seating in the Foyer and not in the dining area. It would have been better to just walk in and be seated at the bar. The restaurant has a hamptons feel to it. But like I said it was that I felt like the front room shouldn't be an dining area as it feels like were coming into the foyer of the restaurant and its not the actual dining room. The area was chilly as well.

The lemon drop was served without a lemon twist. We ordered the steak salad and a new your strip steak, both medium/well done both came served rare. We sent back the steak salad and they refired the steak to medium at best. The salad was so peppery that it burned our taste buds. I just ate my steak as it was served. They did comp our steak salad. Service and ambiance was fantastic.

Limited but very creative menu of delicious features and entrées. Service was brisk and attentive.. high vibe experience. Steak was unfortunately smothered with sauce., but done to perfection. Large portions so bring appetite.!

Wonderful brunch food on a Sunday! Everything was great, including the service. Make a reservation, they do get busy.

Delicious food and attentive service and staff! One of the few places to get a loaded Bloody Mary in the Seattle-ish area. Less related to the establishment itself but the location is also great for a brunch or early dinner date!

More Families than i was expecting but great ambiance and decor. The thicker end of the octopus we ordered was pretty chewy but was perfectly cooked on the thinner end. The Risotto was good not anything crazy special, but the calamari on the other hand was one of the best calamari plates i've had in a while if not ever. The jalapenos are a nice addition so if you plan on ordering calamari don't take the jalapenos off, the calamari is cut to a nice size and the sauce is delightful. The blueberry cobbler was very good, the crust was perfect and the blueberry mix was good but there's some ingredient in it like thyme or some herb or maybe its from being cooked in a cast iron pan that it imparted a flavor to the dish that we couldn't quite put our finger on but enjoyed none the less.

Very disappointing dinner for two. We were surprised to find out that the patio seating we had reserved was actually on the sidewalk. They switched us to the much nicer and surprisingly quiet dining room, but not without a 10 minute wait. We started with the Smoked Old Fashioned off their Signature Libations list and End of Summer Gimlet special cocktails. Both were small and both just okay; neither was special in any way. No complimentary starter was served, not even bread (bread can be ordered for $7). The appetizer -- fried calamari with pickled jalapeño remoulade -- was very tasty. The main courses, the Maple-Smoked Duck Breast consisted of half a dozen large and mostly flavorless fingerling potatoes sitting on a bed of roasted corn and tomatoes; the few small pieces of duck hiding underneath it all tasted fine but were quite tough and chewy. The undercooked Seafood Risotto was served with a few tiny bits of seafood and asparagus mixed in. Before ordering our wine with the meal the waiter was nice enough to let us try the Feedme Hospitality Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. The Sauvignon Blanc tasted terrible and although the Cab Franc was passable we ended up ordering the Domaine Le Clos des Lumieres 2024 Côtes de Rhone Rosé and the Upchurch Vineyard 2021 LTL Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. The rose was $15, the cab a whopping $26 for an 8 oz glass. Online the rose sells for about $15/bottle and the cab for $40, so that's about a 200% markup on both wines. The best part of the evening was the ambiance. The total bill for the two of us with tip for this subpar experience came to $230. Needless to say, we will not be back.

Excellent service from beginning to end. The host was very polite and sat us right away at a nice table by the window. The waiter was engaging and helpful with our selections. All and all, it was a wonderful experience.

What a disappointment. We used to love our local restaurant Salt and Iron. The menu was creative and delicious and beautifully prepared. The service stellar. I don't know if they've been bought out or under new management, but the results are a big mistake. Over the last several months we have noticed a very big change and we don't find it the consistently tasty and enjoyable dining experience we once did. On top of the dis-interested service and mediocre food, the last visit made us unavoidably captive to another patron's insistence the entire room give him their attention while he prattled on and on about the friendship of his dining companion. A brief, happy toast would have been tolerable - but the person went on and on emotionally for some time, insisting the room give him all of their attention. He interrupted our meal not once to do this but 3 times! You know, we get that people drink and feel emotional and want to share, but this was the wrong place, the wrong time. We were dining with our friends of many years that we rarely get to connect with. We would have preferred a quiet meal sharing their company, not the feelings and interruptions from someone we did not know. By the third time he started and with the manager and staff not doing anything to dissuade him it was time to go. We won't be back.
The food was very good. The server offered up suggestions for the oysters we ordered which were very helpful. Two of us had the rib eye which was excellent. I had the crab cakes from the appetizer menu which were good but not great. The three of us shared a bottle of wine which also very good. All in all we had a great time and would go back again.

We celebrated two birthdays and the food and service were perfect. Delicious creative meals and comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.

3 of our 4 in our party ordered the corn beef hash with poached eggs. The hash was over-salted and overwhelming to the point of health concern (three of us have heart arrythmias). Also, 2 of us found the seasoning to be unpalatable. We had had this dish a couple of years ago and really liked it, which is why we were all in on ordering it. Service was excellent as always. A problem in the noon-1:00 pm time on a Saturday of Labor Day weekend was that access to the two toilets was painfully delayed, intruding on the enjoyment of the outing and the otherwise nice ambience...except for the loud customer noise, which included two crying babies. This explains my low rating of the overall experience: too full bladder, too salty main dish, loud ambient customer noise that overwhelmed my hearing aids' ability to hear my companions.

Went for Sunday brunch for aunt's birthday, service was perfect, food was tasty and large portions (esp the popcorn chicken!)
Coffee could be better and breakfast potatoes were plain.
