The Scene – Hip indie-rock tunes fill the lofty single-room space, with the sounds reverberating off the rustic hardwood floors. Beneath dozens of thin hanging lights, boisterous bar chatter adds to the vibrant energy. Decor is sparse, save the colorful artistic portrait of a knight on one wall. Attentive waitstaff sporting white button-downs serves diners ranging from funky 20-somethings to adventurous grandparents. – – The Food – Contemporary American cuisine with interesting ingredient combinations makes for a light, flavorful dining experience.

Slow! Slow! Slow!
by nyuck3x
Had 8 pm reservations. Got seated about 8:15. Ordered dinner about 8:30. Got served food about 9:40. Server was pleasant but ignored us after we ordered while we waited. Expected maybe an explanation or apology for food coming out so slowly but nothing. Since no one working there seemed concerned about the slowness should I conclude that's business as usual? Too many other good restaurants around to waste my time going back there.
- Pros: Lots of parking nearby.
- Cons: Pricey and slow.

Would It K i l l Them?
by DanSperiod
Would it k i l l Salt House to have a decent vegetarian option during Dine About Town or any other time of year? Salt House ended up modifying their Spanish Tortilla with Yukon Gold Potatoes, Serrano Ham and Scallions entree by removing the ham so I ended up with a $25 omelette. Celery Root Soup with Apple and Pomegranate was fantastic albeit served lukewarm. Dessert was not memorable. Salt House has a fantastic carnivore menu with a great wine list but during these recession times service needs improvement. Matri'd was tart, surly and more preoccupied with talking with her fellow staff and eventually wolfing down her meal at the bar then tending to her customers.
- Pros: Soups
- Cons: Horrible Vegetarian Options / Surly, Tart Servers Managers

This is my favorite place to eat in SF!
by jamesallenfinch
This is my favorite eatery in SF! Dahlia at the door and Steven leading the pack guarantee a great evening. The kitchen churns out fantastic food with good portions, beautiful plating and a killer wine list. From oysters to lamb - these guys know what they are doing. When you work in publicity and dining out is part of the job, finding a jewel like this is rare. Great for clients or a little romantic dinner for two. Be sure to make a reservation - James
- Pros: Great Food, Beautiful Plating and Gracious Service
- Cons: Small Bar but this is an intimate space and it works
