Salt - Part Doo Doo

We decided to give Salt another try after several months of avoiding it since our first visit. This visit did not impress us either, and we will not be going back again.

I can't get over how watery the macaroni and cheese is, I just can't. It lacks flavor and creaminess, and doesn't even taste remotely of cheese. We added salt, and even then it wasn't all that much better.

We also ordered the Guinness Braised Onion soup, which also lacked any depth of flavor. The onions hadn't been truly braised and the broth was bland. It was so disappointing. My fiance called it shitty dishwater.

The grilled asparagus was pretty tasty, although at the bottom of the plate there was a mess of burned garlic which rendered the dish bitter with some of the bites. The sweet potato puree was also watery and heavy on the cinnamon.

The only redeeming part of the meal was the rock shrimp cakes and the fresh brewed iced tea.

Much hasn't changed at Salt since the last time we were there, and we won't be back to see if any changes have been made since this one.
