I finally made it to Salt House. The restaurant, rather inconspicuous from the street, is actually quite large and boasts an upstairs room as well as a main dining hall, all dedicated to an ambiance worthy of the seafood it sells. It’s hard to tell, but this picture actually represents part of the “at-sea” theme, as the waiters bring the bread to the table, wrapped in brown paper, as if it is the catch of the day. The bread is good, but the food is even better, surprisingly flavorful and fresh for a place that so few people even see as they bustle past on the busy street. This was a night of fine dining, work colleagues, and special occasions. Here’s to a paycheck that can buy a nice dinner for two. CL, I know the appetizers scared you away, but I wonder if you’ll give the place a second try?
