Always a treat. Sitting at the chef's table/counter this time with my family. We had a great time and left stuffed. We had a bit of everything and everything was a treat. You could easily skip the entrees and just have the side dishes and be perfectly happy as they are awesome and unique. Watching them cook you realize they spend more time and effort toasting a piece of bread than most establishments in Old Town spend on you whole dinner. Looking forward to many more dinners over the years. The Cocktails are also top notch.

We absolutely had the best night at Salt Line with Cheryl , who was fabulous! It was the night after Thanksgiving and you would think the staff would not be enthusiastic to work and Cheryl and the hostess and every single person was incredible! Thank you Cheryl and Salt Line for a great evening!

The chicken Parmesan, bread and lasagna were quite tasty. I’d definitely recommend this place. The service could have been better like providing suggestions and discussing menu items. It would also have been better if the server would stop to check rather than me continuously asking for things like cutlery, pepper, refills etc.
