[quote=Anonymous]I just posted about Black Salt on another thread.  I've been there three times recently, and all three times I was disappointed.  The ambiance is not that great -- the main dining space is super noisy, though the back is nicer --and the food is not good.  (Ex. one night I ordered the fried clams, and they came out cold, soggy, and way too salty.  Another night I ordered the clam chowder, and the soup was not a coherent taste experience - you could taste each separate ingredient, and not in a good way.)  It's rare that I pass up a chance for a nice restaurant dessert, but here I was so underwhelmed by the food I just didn't have the heart to try the desserts (went to Safeway next door and got a pint of ice cream to bring home).  I agree with PP that the service can some nights be on the slow side, and like many places the servers vary in how good they are.

In sum, I think Black Salt is overrated -- a case of "Emperor's new clothes."  Even just sticking to oysters, which is what my husband did the last couple of times we went, yielded a mixed result.  Overall, I really wanted to like this place, but in the end I won't be going back.  It's not worth the money (or the wasted rare night out with no kids!).[/quote]
