Salt Bar

Lower East Side places are none for their unique flavor and Salt Bar followed with flavor but not in the literal sense. The outside is quite appealing making me wonder what was going on inside. Once you enter the establishment, the atmosphere is very LES with a vintage looking dining room that was also the bar area and also the kitchen. Yup, one big room with everything in it. The "kitchen" was just right behind the bar.

For drinking and hanging out, this place is a great pick for a pregame spot before you venture out in to many of the fun LES social clubs. The food on the other hand was bland and over priced. I ordered the filet of beef Wellington in balsamic sauce which on paper is everything I want in a meal but it was dull in flavor and the small portions left me hungry.

My overall recomendation is definitely stop by this quiet place for a drink with the neighborhood locals before you head down to Pianos to hang out with all the out-of-towners from the Upper East Side (sorry TW).
