Loved this place! Food & service were excellent! Not overpriced for the quality of food. Only suggestion would be to offer other liquors besides just their brand.

Only thing that was a bit odd…..we had reservations but were told to stand by the door and wait. Parties that came in after us were seated, while we waited 10 minutes. What was the point of making the reservation?

This is an OUTSTANDING seafood restaurant based on the food, the service and the ambience. The food is consistently top tier as is the service. There is a fish market counter in the very front of the restaurant so you are able to pick your seafood; having been to Blacksalt a number of times now, the seafood is always fresh as you will find. The bar area in the front is lively without being loud; the dining room in the back is quiet - so you can pick your preferred area. Give this restaurant an opportunity, I know you’ll be back!
