    service was fantastic. Wine by the glass was definetly quality and decently priced. Food was good, however a $40 steak could have been better quality for the price. I will say it was cooked to perfection though. Now, if you don't like mice, I don't recommend going here. There's a little guy cruising around the dining room quite brazenly.

    This was my third time at Salt and Ash and I loved it yet again. Whether you are looking to spend a bit more money and get a fancier unique meal, or looking for cheap greasy eats, they do it all perfectly. Not to mention some of the best brussel sprouts I've had in Halifax. It is getting up there as my favorite restaurant.

    Staff was excellent, the greeter was super nice and let me put my baby stroller in their private area. Waitress was also very friendly and helpful. As far as the food the burger and their fries were exceptional, the fish wasn’t my favourite but it wasn’t terrible. Lovely place overall, very nice vine and ambience. I recommend.

    Salt & Ash has a vibrant energy in a good location. It's open ad spacious and attracts diners of all ages. The food is fair, but only fair, and the prices reflect the space and location rather than the quality of the food.

    We actually bailed the restaurant after seeing the prices on the menu Something like $91.00 for the ribs $51.00 for Shepard's Pie We thought that the prices were ridicious and this was after we made a special to go to Halifax from Moncton NB to go to the Salt & Ash Went to 2 Doors Down where we are an excellent short ribs for $30.00 Excellent food and service at great value a lot of people did ask us about our Salt & Ash experience
    Salt & Ash - HalifaxResponded on January 22, 2025
    Hi John! Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're sorry to hear that the prices gave you pause. It sounds like there may have been some confusion with the menu – the prices you mentioned are actually for our shared main options, which are designed to be enjoyed by the entire table, not just one person! Our single portion mains run between $19.00 to $40.00. We apologize if this wasn't clear, and we're glad to hear you had a great experience at 2 Doors Down! Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions! - The Salt & Ash Team

    Service was great. Pizza is amazing. Beef + clams dish was very underwhelming & with only 3 clams. I Also had a majito that wasn't anything special unfortunately.
    Salt & Ash - HalifaxResponded on January 22, 2025
    Hi Riley! Thank you for your review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the service and our pizza. We also appreciate your feedback on the Beef + Clams dish and the Mojito. We’re sorry that the dish didn’t meet your expectations – we’ll definitely look into the portion size of the clams. As for the mojito, we make a very standard recipe, but we're always open to hearing feedback on what might need to be improvised! I encourage you to reach out with that feedback for our bar team so we can try some adjustments to make it truly spectacular! - The Salt & Ash Team

    The place is amazing! it's spacious and the lighting is just perfect. The service is excellent as well, they kept checking on us throughout the whole meal. Unfortunately, the menu doesn't have a lot of options, so we were limited as a big group trying to try a bit of everything. The most delicious thing was the Onion Dip Tater Tots, its outstanding! Definitely a must try restaurant.

    Hi Noor! Thank you for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear you loved the ambiance, service, and especially the Onion Dip Tater Tots – they are definitely a crowd favorite!

We’re always looking to improve, so we’ll take your thoughts into consideration as we continue to evolve our offerings. We’re so glad you enjoyed your visit, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for more delicious bites! <3 The Salt & Ash Team
