    My sister and I ate at Salt on January 30. We ordered salt sips and they were fresh, and unique. We ordered the burrata-and that was excellent! My sister had the pear salad and potato and leek soup!! Delicious! I ordered the scallops and roasted Brussels sprouts! The flavors of all our choices were fantastic!! The head chef came out to greet us as well as many servers. Each one was very knowledgeable about the menu and they were very attentive!! We also ordered dessert, and each was excellent but we were stuffed!! I would highly recommend Salt!! I love that almost everything is locally sourced. My top dining experience while visiting Mission Texas.

    I’ve visited Salt several times and typically enjoy the experience, but our recent visit left much to be desired. The food was just okay—certainly not up to the standards we’ve come to expect. The tomatoes were overripe and so squishy, and the steak was riddled with tendons, making it tough to enjoy. Additionally, the salt board felt lacking in variety, which was disappointing. To make matters worse, the service was awful. We weren't given a drink menu, and after ordering drinks, our waiter vanished, leaving us to summon another staff member just to place our order. It took us asking for a dessert menu, and when I had a question, it was the restaurant manager who answered because our waiter was completely inattentive. I’ve never had such a negative experience at Salt before, and it’s made me reconsider dining there again. The quality of ingredients seems to be slipping, as I’ve never encountered bad cuts of meat or tomatoes during previous visits. I sincerely hope they address these issues, as I’d love to see Salt return to its former glory.

    Staff was excellent and provided great service. Everyone from the Bartender, to the server, to the chef whom I had the pleasure of speaking to while seated at the chefs counter/table. Food was on point. Got to try a couple of new dishes, including the pork shank with green mole. Top notch

    Gilbert was our server and did a great job as always! He knows how to read the table and is always available but never smothering. The food was great as always too! The recommendations (Ono and Churro Ice Cream Sandwich) were greatly appreciated.

    The restaurant was half empty. Every time we needed our server to come up to our table (party of four), we had to wave incessantly, and servers tending to tables adjacent to ours would simply ignore us. After numerous attempts to catch his attention to bring the check, he finally came with a portable card reader and said, "we're talking about [and stated a Dollar amount]." He showed his displeasure when I asked for a printout of the itemized check. The displeasure was more evident when I left a "customized" tip of 10% only, which I believe was generous, taking into account the level of inattention we got.
