Salt Restaurant + Bar — Restaurant in Île des Terres Basses

We ended up not finishing dinner because it was that bad. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and even though it was ladies night and every lady got a feee glass of Prosecco they didn’t give my husband a glass for his birthday. Seemed very lame and not impressed from the start. It only got worse. I was even offered a refill but no glass for my husband. The pear arugula salad had canned pears, not fresh and it was €20! How can they possibly think that’s ok?! I also I ordered the lobster ravioli in a saffron beurre blanc sauce and was told the pasta was made there but these were clearly frozen raviolis and the sauce was tomato sauce. My husband’s truffle risotto was made with fake truffle essence. It had that very distinct fake truffle taste. When we asked about the lobster sauce we were told it was the saffron causing it to be red. Saffron is orange and no way would it turn it red! My husband is a chef and went to The Culinary Institute of America and knows what a saffron beurre blanc looks and tastes like. This was clearly a tomato sauce. No wine, no butter, and no saffron They even served it with tomatoes. The chef came out and continued to say it was a beurre blanc. See picture of tomato sauce. The food here is frozen and fake. I’ve never left a restaurant like this having to send the food back and leave without finishing the meal. It was that bad. I only wish we would have left a tip for the server and not paid the bill. This was the worst experience and restaurant. When it doesn’t look, walk, quack or taste like a duck just because they tell you it is doesn’t make it so. Shame on...

The food was delicious. Every meal delicious and filling. Service slow but I can understand considering the kitchen has to serve the restaurant and the hotel. But the waitresses so slow and inattentive. Some was better than others but I am not going to assume why but I do feel they catered to people who they felt will tip them. Although there is a 15% service charge, as it was explained to my table the service charge is for the entire staff but the tip is for her. That was a bit disappointing. I am someone who tips well regardless of a service charge. Especially when I am on vacation. But I did enjoyed the music in the evening and the view of the ocean and ships while...
