Today's quote:
Everything we think, everything we say, everything we do, is either health creating or health negating. When we begin to look at health and healing that way, we can enter the realm of health creation from anywhere -- nutrition, exercise, contemplative practice, relationship. -Dr. William B. Stewart

A Couple of Nice Mentions For SALT......

We are thrilled here at Salt to get mentions by both "The Artful Diner" as well as "The New York Times" in their year-end wrap ups of their restaurants they reviewed in '08. The Artful Diner gave us a nod as one of his favorites for the year 2008, saying......

"The kitchen reins have been completely taken over by Tony Mandeville, the former second in command at Bula, and the results are impressive.......if you are in the market for reasonably priced, first-rate, innovatively prepared casual cuisine served up in an equally casual, pub-like setting..you will be more than satisfied."

David Corcoran at "The New York Times" put us in their "roundup of this year's 10 best". Saying... "commitment to the creative and careful handling of high-quality ingredients"..."the menu is well designed and consistently executed"....

To be put into anyones end of the year top 10 or favorites is always an honor at any level, but by two respected reviewers is even more so.

So needless to say we are proud of our staff..starting with Tony in the kitchen and Jennifer on the floor.....and the entire front and back of the house staff! The entire Salt Family is proud, and should be!

Happy Holiday's To All......

Happy Holiday's to everyone......Have a Safe and Merry Christmas!!!

To My Anonymous Neighbor....

We appreciate your business, and we understand with all of the choices to pick from you chose to dine at Salt, and really we do appreciate that. We bust our ass every single day 24/7 to try to make sure that EVERYONE enjoys themselves at Salt and that everything is done right. That being said, when I read your blog I was pretty upset. I spoke with our manager about the situation and was told that everything was fine when she had returned to the table to check on things (after the scallops were sent back). Had there still been a problem we certainly would have rectified it by either giving you something else, or the least to have removed it from the check. I just ask that next time, whether it is at Salt or anywhere else, allow the business the opportunity to made good on whatever the complaint may be. Again, we pride ourselves on people enjoying themselves at Salt, we make our living making people happy. Sorry about your time Friday!
