    My wife and I have chosen Black Salt for special occasion dinners over the years and have never had less than an exemplary experience. It's not inexpensive but the quality of the seafood, presentation and service are outstanding.

    Grilled sardines were great but Halibut overcooked and dry. Plum tart sweet and good. Very cold in back room.
