Frist time visiting Saltz, had high expectations but was sadly disappointed.
The overall place and seating was really odd, the main dining area was a bit tight and the tables are really close together, another section was far off in the corner and another section of seating in a little hallway area, lighting was extremely bright. One good spot was the seating area in the balcony but probably only good in the day time as at night there are too many mosquitoes.
Anyways on to the food: we had the following:
Seafood Soup: Soup was quite tasty, nice flavors all around.
Seafood Appetizer: The batter of this dish was too thick. So you barely tasted what was inside and it was like eating a donut. Also there was not alot of fish and more vegetables in this dish.
Seafood Lasagna: Horrible dish, chewy and rubbery. We couldn’t even eat it.
Curry Hurry Fish: Really good, the fish was fresh, the sauce on this dish was really flavorful. A very deshi style dish with a modern twist. My only complain is that the quantity of rice is too little, there should be more rice considering the size of the fish.
Fish cake: Fish cake tasted fresh but nothing special, sauce with the fish cake was way too sweet!
Surf and Turf: Really bland piece of steak with two tiny shirmp, there was no surf in this surf and turf.
I was shocked that a fish restaurant didn’t have a “Fish and Chips” on the menu, really odd.
Service: Very poor service, our waiter barely understood a word of english. In this area and in a high end restaurant, the waiters should speak and understand basic english. Even when speaking Bangla, waiter didn’t seem to knowledgeable about their dish. When I asked what is the fish used in the “curry hurry fish dish”, his answer was “ocean fish” 😐. Also the overall demeanor and care was not there. Never came to check once how the food was or if we needed anything, we constantly had to call and ask for basic things like sauce and water. Also one thing I found extremely uncomfortable was when we were eating, the entire staff of about 6/7 people all standing in the main dining area. It was just weird and an uneasy feeling.
Overall, an extremely disappointing experience from a restaurant I had high...
Read moreI recently visited Saltz and had a memorable dining experience. The restaurant specializes in seafood, offering a variety of dishes including lobster and crabs. The quality of the food was undeniably good. The seafood was fresh and expertly prepared, showcasing the natural flavors beautifully.
We indulged in a selection of dishes, starting with the lobster. It was succulent and cooked to perfection, maintaining its delicate texture and flavor. The crabs were equally impressive, seasoned just right and accompanied by a delightful dipping sauce that enhanced the overall taste.
The ambiance at Saltz is pleasant and comfortable, making it a great place for a leisurely meal. The decor is tasteful, with a subtle nautical theme that adds to the charm without being overbearing. It’s a setting that invites relaxation and enjoyment.
Hospitality at Saltz was also commendable. The staff were attentive and courteous, ensuring that our needs were met promptly and professionally. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to provide recommendations were much appreciated.
However, it is important to mention that the prices at Saltz are quite high. While the quality of the food and service is excellent, the cost may be considered overpriced by some. This could be a deterrent for those dining on a budget.
In conclusion, Saltz offers a great dining experience with high-quality seafood and excellent service. If you are willing to overlook the high prices, it is definitely worth a visit for seafood lovers looking to enjoy a...
