Editorial Review for Salt Bar – by Allison Austin

The Scene
White-brick walls, cool cement floors, communal wood-plank tables stained dark chocolate and a crimson ceiling that fades in the dim candlelight--this is one of those rooms that makes everyone look and feel more attractive than they did before they walked in. Sit at the bar and chat with the efficient and attitude-free bartenders, or snatch the four-stooled bar along the front window.

The Draw
Melissa O'Donnell--whose restaurant Salt marries subtle romance and lush food--has done it again, this time with an impressive menu of affordable snacks to pair with wine or cocktails. Don't miss the dates wrapped in bacon, baked until they taste like salty, crisp candy; the satisfying chicken liver pâté or the beef Wellington with mushrooms and balsamic-vinegar sauce. The best cocktail is an intriguing hibiscus tea martini, which substitutes bourbon for gin and has just a tinge of sweet vermouth.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

The wine list is short and nicely balanced--you'll find a smooth Medoc and an excellent Oregon pinot gris, as well as several wines by the glass for $6 to $10.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I have yet to go to a New York City restaurant with as much warmth and comfortability we did not feel like leaving hours after our meal was finito. You instantly feel welcome the moment you walk in. we adored it and are excited to return very soon

Pros: the ambience is perfection

Cons: the location is far from my lifestyle

I have been coming to Salt bar for years. The service has always been above average, rock n' roll/blues plays on the iPod selection from behind the bar. The food is wonderful and the location is perfect.

Pros: location, service, ambience, friendly, food, music

Seduction in a dark room, with upscale bar snacks and plenty of wine to seal the deal.  See the full editorial review.
