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…

Perfect for 2 friends catching up!
by HottyToddyNYC
Salt in Lower East Side was perfect for 2 friends: red wine, bacon wrapped dates, coconut shrimp, cheese plate and tuna tartar. The service was slow, which prompted the waiter to refill our wine glasses on the house...we appreciated his gesture. Yummy find in Lower East Side!
- Pros: Warm atmosphere.
- Cons: Wait time for food.

sweet dating spot
by laura757
Well unlike the reviewers below, I did not find it too loud. Perhaps I missed out on this manager? It is such a romantic little spot with a neat vibe. The food and staff were great. Can't wait to go back.
- Pros: food, ambience, staff
- Cons: over sauced salad

Earsplitting music, otherwise good ambience and drinks
by ecparker71
I agree with the reviewer below who complained of the noise level. It's not a big space and is layed out to encourage conversation, both at the tables and at the bar, but the music was insistently cranked so loud over and over again by the manager (despite several requests to turn it down) that my friend and I left, slightly deafened and frustrated by the fact that we had to shout even just sitting next to one another at the bar. I suspect that this problem has more to do with that particular manager than general policy. The bartenders were cleary afraid of him (they would turn down the music but not actually speak to him about it and give in when he turned it back up) and he exuded a hostile vibe.
- Pros: Drinks and food, polite bartenders, unpretentious
- Cons: Noise level
The Details on Salt Bar
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.
