Here are just some answers to comments or questions I have gotten from through replys on the blog...
Let me just start by saying that I am not trying to offend anyone, and that the blog was just started as a way for me to journal and let the few people that cared to know about what was going on here in touch. The blog was not meant to be in any way any sort of advertising or way of portraying Salt. That being said the blog is just me being me, if it is taken as unprofessional or offensive I am sorry that anyone takes it that way. If anyone knows Myself or Laurie, or bula, you know that we run a very professional business, but you will also know that I have always stayed true to myself, and have learned doing so goes a long way.
I know more people would like to see me on the floor and talking with the customers and introducing myself, I understand that. My being on the floor at all is a huge step for me, being out in the dining room is a huge step out of my comfort zone. I do know that it sometimes comes off cold or not caring and it could not be further from that. I appreciate every single person that comes in and want everyone that comes here to enjoy themselves and enjoy what we've created, but by my nature I am a social reject, it really takes alot for me to just introduce myself...there I admit it!!! So if it is taken in any way as not caring I apologize, I am trying. (I know this kind of goes against the personality of a restaurant person, but that is why most chef's enjoy the kitchen, it is the rare chef who ventures into the dining room).
I have to run now and get to work, though I will post again tonight for anyone that cares. And for those that do get offended there is www.saltgastropub.com

the Salty language on this page is just fine by me! Keep it up!
Brad,
No need to apologize. The lesson is that if you give people an open forum to comment, you will encounter a lot of people that will do their best to bitch about one thing or another...
...and if it's somewhere that they can be anonymous (like, say, a comments section on a blog), it's going to be even worse. Personally, I don't think you should have to apologize for being yourself on your personal blog.
I like seeing some actual personality in the restaurants I frequent.
Thanks for giving people an opportunity to give some feedback!
I had dinner at Salt last Friday with some friends ...
Wine & beer selections were awesome!
Atmostphere was great, service was good and servers had a great sense of humour.
My only critique would be to increase the selections on the menu & portion sizes on appy's. 3 roasted veggie raviolis for $6 was a bit much.
We'll certainly come back after a while once things settle in.
