Salt And Sweet Restaurant

Okay, so I've been to Salt & Sweet a few times. Here are my thoughts: First and foremost, the food is fantastic. I've never had something there that wasn't delicious. This is where the restaurant shines and is the only reason I give them 4 stars. However, the service and atmosphere has been questionable at times. The restaurant does not require reservations. However, if you walk in for dinner without a reservation, even with 50+% of tables unoccupied, they will warn you that "it may take a while to get your food." There are only two servers and perhaps one or two kitchen staff, so the place operates like an old school mom and pop restaurant. Unfortunately, the servers may make you feel unwelcome for no apparent reason at all. Seems as though they don't want the restaurant to be busy. You may also hear screaming and crashing pots and pans in the kitchen at various times. It's obvious the staff are not very happy to be there preparing and serving the delicious food. After you finish your meal, you may also have to wait an unnecessarily long time to receive and pay your bill. Last time I was there, my party and several others were essentially "held hostage" waiting for the server to provide the bill and take payment. After 15 minutes of waiting for the bill, I had to stand up and walk to the register area to get the server's attention and complete the transaction. Overall, I'd recommend this place for the food, but the service is generally poor. It's a shame because this place could be incredible and would appeal to a broader (younger) customer base if they could improve the hospitality and service.

I had the Russian style perogies, which were awesome and my husband had the beef stuffed with dill pickles and red peppers, which he enjoyed. Both dinners were more than we could finish, so take home boxes. They box up your food for you, nice touch. We also had the Apple cake with vanilla ice cream, very good. The cake was warm so the ice cream melted perfectly! The service was a little slow but there was only 2 waitresses. We weren't in a hurry so didn't bother us. Will definitely be back.

This was my first meal at Salt and Sweet. I chose the sampler for lunch. It was a generous portion of savory dishes and arrived hot from the kitchen. I started with the tomato soup which was lovely if not a bit on the salty side. The service was warm and professional. I'd like to return again for dinner another time, when they're serving lamb shank (which was not available on the lunch menu). It was a lovely find in this part of town, and an above average dining experience.

Very flavorful menu choices. Tried the pierogies and they were quite good. I had pickle soup, which was delicious. It tasted like it had a cabbage base. For my main course I ordered the Outlaw Pancake, which was a large potato pancake smothered with pork goulash. It was wonderful. I had apple cake for dessert, very underwhelming. Service was very good and food reasonably priced.
