Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Pensacola

Very nice experience. Server was very knowledgeable of the menu and the food was excellent. Prices a little high but for a nice evening it was amazing!

I made a reservation for 2 at 5pm a while ago. We arrived at 4:45 pm. When I checked in at the hostess stand I was told my name was on a waiting list as they don't take reservations but here I am making comments to my Open Table reservation that they don't take. A bit strange to say the least. First time I have heard from an Open Table vendor that they don't take reservations when I clearly made one. The meal was great and appreciated the Fish House being open on Christmas.

I was promptly seated, yet was at my table about 8 mins before my server appeared, and only after I asked the bus boy if he could point out my server. Once the server got to my table, the rest of the service was fine. This is my 2nd Christmas to eat at Salt, and I, once again, was pleased. The charcuterie is superb, kudos to the tapenade! For my entree is got the prime rib, rare. The meat could have been more flavorful, and adding a bit of salt helped. The horseradish sauce was flavorful and fluffy (whipped?) and also very watery. The peel-em shrimp were quite tasty, plump, not over cooked, and the cocktail sauce was spot on. The sides were super - I loved the cornbread dressing with pork and sage. Excellent. I also enjoyed the Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. (I didn’t try the carrots or green bean casserole, nor the salad selections.) The croutons here are some of the best, house made, flavorful, not crazy-hard but light. I skipped dessert, opting for more shrimp. My drink was consistently refilled, and the waiter was not fussy. Another fine experience at Salt.

Fast service. Perfect timing between drinks, soup/salad and the main meal. Outstanding wait staff.
