New Year’s Eve at Salt!

Salt Tasting Room has various fun, casual ways for you to ring in the New Year!

The main Tasting Room will open throughout the evening for our usual service for you to come by any time and do the things you love to do at Salt, whether a quick glass and a bite before heading out to a party, or lingering for hours over a couple plates and flights.  No cover, no dress code, no set times.  Simply the Salt Tasting Room that you’ve enjoyed all along.

For those wanting to make a night of it, we will be offering a Three-Course Menu downstairs in the Salt Cellar for $28 per head.  We’ll have plenty of Bubble open, and guests can try a variety of sparkling styles, whether by the glass, flight or bottle!  Of course, our entire wine program will be on offer as well.
