We got there at Happy Hour and everything we had was GREAT! Â I started out with a very yummy spinach salad with cranberries and walnuts and whatever my friend had as an appetizer was so good that he didn't share. Â He ordered steak and the bite I had melted in my mouth. Â I ordered a half dozen oysters thinking that it would tide me over; however, it didn't. Â I ordered the grilled artichoke and it was yummy, creamy and dreamy. Â Dessert was the bomb--a collection of sorbets, including chocolate, pistachio and strawberry. Â (We split a flight of four.)
Great wine selection. Â My only complaint is that I forgot that people can smoke cigars in bars in Florida. Â We were outside, but the wind was blowing directly at me. Â I was so happy by my meal that it didn't matter!
South Florida dining can be hit or miss but this place was a solid home run. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and entertaining. My girlfriend got the most amazing watermelon infused vodka martini and the food was to die for. I had a rib eye which was perfect in every way and the sauce it came with was insanely good, she had a sushi roll with lobster and filet mignon which was creative and delicious. This place isn't cheap but I'd say it's well worth it.
Review Source:My co-worker informed me that they do half price sushi night every Wednesday so I really wanted to go try that. Â It's great because if you go during happy hour you get that special too. Â The happy hour drinks were awesome, and $4 for a martini is a bargain, and they do not skimp on the alcohol they are very strong and and yummy drinks! Â
The half price sushi and happy hour food menu was very good as well good choices and varieties. Â I don't know if I would go for regular dinner because it is expensive but I'm fine with just going for happy hour. Â I would have given 4 stars if the service was better but it was just ok for such a fancy place.
I'd been avoiding Salt since they opened because my perception was that this is a dooshy place. Â Every time I walk by in the evenings, I see dooshy looking people hanging out. Â Not my thing. Â Recently though, a friend told us about their sushi specials on Wednesday nights. Â Oh boy!
So, hubby and I, along with our friends ventured in there around 6pm last night for Happy Hour and their Wednesday sushi deal. Â Ok, I'm a changed woman. Â First, I saw no dooshes. I think they only show up after dark, and well, it's summertime so it was still nice and light out at 6pm and when we left around 7:30. Â
The $4 sushi deal is available ALL DAY Wednesdays and the menu is sizeable. They offer sashimi and maki rolls, with a variety of choices for both vegetarians and seafood eaters.
On the regular Happy Hour menu, they've got a LOT of great options in the $7-$8 range as well as $4 martinis. Â Try the watermelon one. Â OMG, so good! Â The blood orange (I only had sips of these) was a bit on the strong side, but my friend had the Key Lime martini and that was really good as well.
I'm happy to say that Salt7 has won me over, at least for their Wednesday night deals, and before the dooshes come out to troll.
Friday night scene is crazy. Early its older people (all good looking) and as night progressed it was all dudes by the truckload. It was a bit like a Gold's Gym just closed shop and they all arrived.
Good mix of draft beer and the fresh grapefruit vodka was great for the ladies until they ran out of the fruit. Sliders were really good. Bathroom sinks are shared space, which still feels odd.
The service was HORRIBLE. It took a half hour to get drinks and it wasn't that crowded. They didn't bring everything with the food i.e. silverware, sauces. It took about 20 minutes to get anything done-yes there were 9 of us on a Saturday night but the place didn't have all the tables filled. The management just laughed when we complained and then asked us what they should do. They didn't offer dessert or coffee. It was for a friend's birthday.
I wouldn't go there unless you don't mind waiting for your drinks and you might have to remind them you ordered any.
The only good thing was the food was good.
This place gets really clubby on weekends. It's expensive but my date was paying so it didn't bother me too much! Â I had the trio ocean shooter with a spicy cocktail sauce, and we shared some lamb chops that were kind of overdone. It's a cool place but I wouldn't want to come here with my girlfriends.
Review Source:Original sushi. Excellent steaks. Wonderful bar. Great service. Nice ambience. On the boulevard of broken restaurants, this one is a gem. No idea why Emily C had bad sushi. Every time I've been there it has not only been fresh, but it has been unique. The chef creates rolls and dishes that aren't served everywhere else up and down the strand. Â I am going back to try the steaks, as I hear they rock too. The raw bar, by the way, is a must. They get great oysters and they use 5 count (per lb) shrimp, the Godzilla of shrimp! All well prepared and served. Far better than swill joints like the Office or Sazio across the street. Â The service is excellent. The bar is deep with great booze like Stoli Elite and the killer B craft bourbons (Bookers, Blantons, Basil Hayden, Buffalo Trace). They have an outdoor bar space and comfy couches to enjoy Florida winters. Â This place is great! Â Patio and outdoor seating could use some ciggy cleanups more often, and the Valet could be subsidized down to about $7 from its current $10 (32 East does it, y'all). Still, it's a destination eatery for me.
Review Source:I hadn't had sushi in awhile so I thought why not this place. We were greeted happily by the hostess and singing bartender. The restaurant was huge, modern and empty. We were sat in a nicely designed open purple dining room. The reason I remember it being purple was the fact that the paint looked like it had seen it's share of bar fights and furniture accidents. That's when I figured out that this place was actually a bar that was open for lunch and served pricey food with a skeleton crew. The service was so nice but the kitchen was so slow. Our intent was to get a quick bite and be on about our day. We lunched for 90 minutes over three items. I ordered the crunchy tuna roll that was presented very nicely, tasted OK but a nightmare to eat. The roll was cut thin and diagonally to get the largest unwieldy fall-apartiest piece possible. T got salmon nigiri beautifully presented three very thick cuts of nice looking fish. Turns out you couldn't bite through it, so chewing was out of the question. She tried to cut a piece with the large steak knife that was present at the table and that just rolled it around the plate. I can't say I have seen that before. I also had a fruit and green salad. It was fruits and greens. Don't go to a nightclub for lunch. Lesson learned.
Review Source:Nothing spectacular.
I dined here with my husband on a whim one night on the Ave. Â We have a spot we typically go to, but I wanted to try something different.
I wasn't impressed much. Â The food was overpriced, in my opinion, for the quality. Â I had the seared tuna, to which I paid well over what I thought it was worth. Â My husband had a few different sushi rolls (I can't recall which ones), but he said they were nothing spectacular. We did have a brussel sprout prosciutto, which was yummy. Â Drink wise, we had wine, so I can't attest to the bartending skills or the cocktail quality. Â They have a large bar that faces outside, and it was fairly busy when we left, so they must be doing something right. Â
The waitstaff seemed a bit frazzled that night, and I could also hear/see, from where I was sitting, the back of the house staff. Â For a place that advertises an upscale atmosphere, they should try and disguise/hide the back of the house entry way a bit more. Â Â Our waitress almost dropped our bottle of wine, and furthermore, did not present it properly (hardly anyone does these days, so I don't count against it, but it would be nice to be served properly for once). Â She seemed busy, so stopped by only when needed. Â We never had to wait for anything, so that was fine. Â
What really struck me as odd was the music selection. Â I can attest to hearing Lionel Richie's "I just called to say I love you', followed by Madonna's 'Vogue'. Â It did not fit in AT ALL. Â It all seemed very thrown together to me - not well planned out for a dining atmosphere. Â Almost like the owners were in a disagreement of which direction they wanted to go (I want sushi, well I want a steakhouse!), and they setlled in the middle. Â
Towards the end of the dinner, I did see two staff members working with an extension cord, and dragging it from somewhere to an inside plug. Â The cord was thrown in the middle of a walkway. Â Granted, it could have been being used to power a bar cooler, or something of the matter, but I would think it would have to be a serious emergency to haul out an extension cord in the middle of my dining rush.
All in all, it was mediocre. Â There are other places on the Ave I'd go to first. Â I am a dessert fan, so perhaps I'd come back to try dessert and a drink - they did have a packed bar so perhaps they have something good going on there.
My wife and I eat there often. We love the sushi and the service is amazing. We enjoy how the 70's disco lighting changes the color of your sushi. is that tuna or salmon? Sure, you can get a great steak at the sizzler or outback, but you can't find a more over priced steak that salt7. See you back this Friday.
Review Source:Well its a 1 for the food but a 4-5 for the bar scene. Seriously AVOID the food completely - the sashimi I ordered was not fresh at all. We ordered a roll with brown rice, it came out with white rice. The waitress then said she didn't know she was out. Semi slow service.
As for the bar scene, it was fun and a good crowd. I'd go back for the bar/lounge/drinks.
Invited to a friend's 40th birthday party last night and normally if I am making the 40 plus mile trip from Miami to Delray Traimontes is my preferred destination. Â After a very satisfying experience last night it's easy to see there are many top quality restaurants in the area starting with Salt 7.
With a private event we occupied a small room off the front right of the restaurant and the outside area as well.  The place itself is mostly open air with outside side tables in many nooks and crannies. Ultra modern sleek look with glass enclosed wine room with a bright main bar and side sushi bar giving this place all the art deco that it can handle.  Some more rooms in another dining area towards the back of the place.  Saturday night and the place was pretty much packed all night with a young to young adult upscale crowd for the most part dressed smartly  Plenty of hostesses dressed scantily in hot black outfits to make sure you want to stay if your their just to peruse the menu.
As stated this was a private event of about 50 people and they had a private bar set up for us.  Baskets of pretzel bread, along with some looked liked home baked fresh rolls were presented to us along with some lightly sauteed and fried plantains.  For our sampling various waiters brought around the following items.  Prime Sliders with Truffles - dry aged USDA prime beef, white cheddar, shaved black truffles, served with  SALT7 signature sauce.  Don't know what to say here other than holy mother of god, like no slider I've ever had absolutely unbelievably good.  Prime Meatballs
in SALT7 signature sauce were equally outstanding.
Sushi time was Yellowtail Jalapeño, sashimi style yellowtail with citrus ponzu and jalapenos.  Tuna Poke, big eye red Hawaiian tuna, avocado, citrus ponzu, toasted sesame oil, pineapple, mango, red onions, scallions with crisp plantains & Edamame, steamed with our signature SALT7 blend and toasted sesame oil. Have to take the word of my dining companions who said that it was very good.  Not sure if it was the amount being created as they fed a lot of people but many stated it was warm side but fresh and tasty.
Final item was Porterhouse 27oz steaks about 8-10 of them deboned and served with asparagus and dipping sauce. Â From what I can tell all 8 dishes were served Rare. Again not sure if this is how they were ordered or if everything was undercooked. Now I like my steak on the rare side so for me the salty outside flavor and absolutely delicious melt in your mouth meat from both sides of the porterhouse were absolutely frigging outstanding. Â Complaints were from many who indicated meat was undercooked. Â Probably should have made a few more to the medium side, but this was outstanding.
With an hour drive home I skipped the deserts in lieu of some coffee for the road. Â Downside was men's bathroom was flooded in one area and stayed that way for over 40 minutes even after management was alerted. Â Going to give this one 4 stars and that was a private event which was tough enough to do on a Saturday night. Â Will definitely repeat. Â Knocks off for bathroom issue, and statement of other guests about sushi temperature. For me it was all good, prime sliders and Porterhouse on that have to have that again soon list! Â I'll be back!
This place is an upscale bar/lounge. Â Standard cocktail runs you about $8. The food is tasty but pricey. Â They play hip hop/ dance music later in the evening. This is a very grown and sexy place, make sure you dress appropriately. Service was attentive overall and there was a good looking crowd. Â Delray needed a spot like this. Highly recommend it!
Review Source:First off it tales a lot to make me mad but this place succeeded. Â We had 9:00 reservations and were sat 10:30. They did give us a free round of drinks. But actually getting our drink order and food order took another hour. The excuse was that the waiter had to take care of his other table of 20the guests. So none of this was our waiters fault. But finally when our order was taken were thought we were in the home run but he comes back 20 min later to say they are out of the special and brown rice. Â Really rice? Its this a sushi restaurant? !? Ok so we get our food. I had a salad. It was so lame! A $14 small salad that was no good. The only reason I ate it was b/c I was starving. Â On the good note if you just want a loud bar atmosphere then fine. Good choice of liquor (not sure @ beer selection, I didn't look) But if u want good food and service go elsewhere. Â Atlantic has many choices.
Review Source:Bad bad restaurant. Very overpriced. Ouch! Noisy and night-club atmosphere inside. Outside cafe overlooking city park, good. Wine list, good. But it is the food that is so bad. Highly salted onion soup. Sugary and salty chile calamari tasted like chemicals. The Japanese rolls were disgusting and not made to order. We sent the fishy tasting spider rolls back. Don't even bother. Go to 32 East or Jimmy's Bistro or Tramante's. Â Salt is about fake food. Â Salt is not Slow Food.
Review Source:My friends and I have been having a great time at Salt7, especially late-night. Â It's one of the few places on Atlantic Avenue that are open until 2am and actually serve food until too. Â I haven't sat down and had a full dinner there yet, but the late-night bites have all been excellent. Â I was also there for the ribbon-cutting ceremony there last Wednesday with the mayor, city commissioners, and the Chamber of Commerce, and the event was great. Â Awesome sliders, great salmon, and scrumptious tuna tartare.
The staff is very attractive, and it's definitely the new hot spot in Delray. Â I'll update this review once I'm able to enjoy a nice, full, sit-down dinner.
I have been to Sushi Rock in OH and it is so much better than this. This place is chaos! I take it the reason why it is so packed is because there is no where else for these people to go late night in Delray. You will see all ages (be careful because your skin always tells your real age, no amount of plastic surgery is going to change that). The men who hang around here tend to lean on the rude side. They seemed to have never heard of Ladies First and deem it acceptable to step on your feet. The drinks are very heavy handed and maybe if I was 21 that would be cool.
My experience with the staff was pleasant. They really need to consider expanding or moving to a larger space or getting a second bar.
I cannot say what it is like for lunch or dinner. My experience was late night.
Went here for appetizers during happy hour, and ordered sushi rolls and meatballs. Â Or, rather MEATBALL. Â Yes, for $5, you get one medium-sized meatball. Â Somewhere back in the kitchen, the chef is laughing. I checked the menu to see if someone had perhaps made a mistake in my order, and forgotten the other meatball that I was sure was intended for my enjoyment. Â Nope, the menu clearly says, "Meatball." As in one. One meatball. Â Harumph. Â
The drinks were good, though, and the service friendly. Â Just be forewarned about the meatball.
Updated Review:
I've been to Salt7 over 6 times now and I don't understand the other Yelper's complaints, although other reviewers probably made their account specifically to bash the restaurant because it's doing such amazing business in Delray (and stealing business from other dying venues!)
Not only have I dined here for lunch, I've been here for dinner AND late night - each time was fantastic, exciting and the staff was full of smiles. Yes, they were always busy but they made time to make sure my table was doing well - I had 3 different servers check on my table for quality at one point.
The food is phenomenal, the steaks are gorgeous and savory, and the sushi is the FRESHEST fish you'll find in the state of Florida. The drinks, as well as the dazzling wine list, is sure to impress and delight your senses.
Salt7 is THE HOTTEST place in Delray Beach with a 5-star menu of palate pleasing delights.
