Second visit even better than the first I continue to be impressed by the quality of this restaurant. This was our second visit and I think it was even better than the first.

A cool place to eat If you like seafood and an interesting dining experience, the Salt Cellar is for you! The ground level is basically a door and staircase which lead down to the cellar, where you eat. The seafood was excellent. None of us had steak, so I'm not sure about that.

Don't let the small exterior fool you. The restaurant itself is underground. Appetizers and meal were outstanding. Wait staff was friendly and service was quick.

This place has amazing food, I had the fried shrimp and oysters. They were AMAZING with the cocktail sauce and horseradish. So it was a 10 out of 10 for me. The fried shrimp was so crunchy like a chip, while the inside like a juicy crab.
