The Salt House

About this business
Located in a historic printing house, Salt House has an American menu with a tantalizing twist and hearty portions. Dishes like Salt Cod Branade and Pot Pie with Duck Confit are complemented by an intriguing list of appetizers such as freshly marinated olives and house pickled vegetables. Created by the same team behind the popular Town Hall Restaurant, the loft-like space and painted brick walls befit Salt House's SoMa location and features a communal table that adds to the charm of this much talked about restaurant.

BAD COOKS!!!! – I went there for lunch with a few colleagues; I had no problem with our waiter. He was very good and was on top of things. The place was crowded but it seemed to be running smooth. Now... my problem was the cooks!!!! They looked like they haven't seen a shower for days; one wore a head band that made him look like he just finished running a 20 mile marathon. When I asked for my dish, they were out?? For Lunch??? If they print their menu daily, wouldn't you think they would skip-it? Food was under cooked, went... read more
Amazing Food...Better Service!!! – I'm not sure what some of the other reviewers are talking about. The service at The Salthouse was awesome. The hostess was great. In a packed house she was able to keep continuity to the reservation list. Initially I thought I would be put off by the fact that it was packed. But once I started sipping a great glass of wine I could've cared less that our table wasn't quite ready. There was such a great vibe in there. It had such a warm, cozy feel to it. Once we sat down our server was very a... read more
Overrated and over-priced – The food was good but not great. The prices were high for the portion size. The service was fantastic, except for the bartenders (who were more interested in the single girls than anyone else). For apps, we had a dozen oysters (three each of four different varieties) and the suckling pig. Both the oysters and the pig were good! For mains, two of us had the ribeye ($29) and one had the sea bass ($25-ish). The sea bass was good, but a bit too fishy tasting and smelling. The ribeyes were good, but we... read more
great service! – Not only was the food amazing, Jolie, the hostess was amazing! We went to celebrate a birthday and had to wait a little bit which was no big deal but everyone was apologetic, aware that we were waiting, and even accomodating. Then our main course was taking a while, Jolie- aware and on TOP OF IT, got us our food and went above and beyond and treated us our desserts as a Birthday present.
disapointing experience – Good food. Nice place. The problem here is service. The staff is hovering and inexperienced. We felt rushed throughout the meal. The courses came too quickly. No time for conversation and drinks before the first course arrived. Second course arrived immediately after the first course plates were cleared. We could not enjoy the bottle of wine ordered. We told the waitress that we wanted to finish the bottle of wine prior to ordering dessert. Within the next 10 minutes, 5 different wait staff attempte... read more
Don't spend your Money in this restaurant, not worth it !!!!!!!!!!!! – "Salt House is overrated in my opinion. I have a really high expectations when I dine in this restaurant because of many good reviews. When we got in to the restaurant, it was very crowd and VERY VERY noisy. I have to shout to my wife for the whole dinner time. It is definitely a good place to have drinks but NOT for the food. For the price of their food, I would choose AQUA SF instead due to the atmosphere and quality of the food. Food wasn't exciting en... read more
In response to marinmezz: – I was planning to write a review of my Friday night dinner at Salt House anyway, but after reading the 7/28 posting by marinmezz, I am even more inspired to do so! Yes, our table spilled red wine on the bag. We offered to pay for the purse and provided our contact information on the spot. The guys at the table were very gracious and we hoped the incident would end at that. Unfortunately that was not the case. When marinmezz got back to her table, she stood up and yelled "Who the #@!* spilled wine ... read more
Great spot for exciting food and attentive service!!! – After frequenting Town Hall for many years now, I was excited to see these guys to open up their latest venue. The ambience at Salt House is raw, unpretetious and invinting, combining industrial-feel metal structures with exposed brick walls. The food on my first few visits has been solid and the pork belly is a definite must-have when you go. The wine list is very interesting and with a little help from the sommelier you will probaly find a new wine you have never tast... read more
Poorest Service in San francisco – I've never had poorer service in San Francisco than here. Just trying to get a reservation I was put on hold 3 times for more than 5 minutes then one time when I called back I was hung up on while on hold. Finally,I had to say "No" when she asked if I'd hold and that I'd like to speak with the manager. I had to speak with the manager just to get a reservation written on the books and he didn't seem overly concerned about the trouble I had with the receptionist. After our second course my fr... read more
