🍽️ What Makes Salt the GOAT?

• Chef Larry Delgado – This guy is a local legend and co-owns Salt with his wife Jessica. Their mission? Elevate local ingredients with global twists — and they crush it every single time.

• Signature Dishes – Their Akaushi beef burger is juicy AF, the seared scallops are buttery magic, and the duck confit tacos? Yeah, you’re gonna wanna order seconds.

• Next-Level Wine List – They take their vino seriously. Whether you’re a red-only ride-or-die or love a crisp white, their curated wine selection is somm-worthy.

• Craft Cocktails – Pro tip: Get the Lavender Bee’s Knees or the house Old Fashioned. It’s bold, it’s smooth, and it sets the tone for a bomb dinner.
