    Causa al Olivar
    Natalie N.

    i tried pink salt as a part of seattle restaurant week. as a miamian who has had easy access to peruvian food for almost my entire life before moving here, i can say certainly that this place is just mid. the inside is nice, tablecloths and all. i was in a large party so we got sat in this second room away from everybody else - not necessarily a bad thing. however, i think because we were in the separate room, the service ended up not being great. the waiter almost never showed up and we kept running out of water. i ordered the causa, picante de mariscos, and the suspiro limeño. the causa is notttt worth it. it is an interesting take on causa, i'll give them that; however, it claimed to have pulpo con él but it was a miniscule amount included. i was disappointed. my entrée was pretty good and a decent amount of food, i had no problems with it. the dessert was just okay. personally, i think it's too pricey for what it is. seattle doesn't have a lot of choices for peruvian food, plus it's in magnolia which doesn't attract a lot of city dwellers since it's hard to get to without a car. i think that's why it comes with such a high markup. it was really only worth it for SRW. i do not think i'll be back.

    Ceviche Classico

    Customer service is alive and well at this establishment. Do yourself a favor - visit Magnolia and dine here for an outstanding experience. The rather unassuming facade does not do the place justice. As a solo diner they were super nice and accommodating. I moved from the lounge to the dining room - they accommodated. My drink made by the uber accommodating bartender, Cameron, was switched out twice. Once because they forgot the booze, and again because it was too sweet for me. The ceviche was authentic and beautifully presented. I chatted with server Manny all about his home country and traveling. And, Sophia deserves mention for being extra nice, and even sensing that the dessert would be too sweet for me by bringing out a pre-bite, and she was correct. She kindly removed it from my check. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Give it a try!

    Lamb shank
    Sarah M.

    The interior strikes a nice balance between modern and inviting, with a warm ambiance that's perfect for enjoying conversations, suitable for a date night or catching up with friends. We ordered three items: the yuca rellena, lamb shank (Cordero - from the specials), and the pesto risotto with tenderloin. While all were enjoyable, the tenderloin was the undeniable star of the meal. Well seasoned and cooked to tender perfection, it paired beautifully with the creamy risotto. Our server also mentioned thats it was the restaurant's most popular dish. The lamb shank had some lovely complementary elements like the beans and pickled red onions, but the meat itself was a bit of a letdown. It was difficult to eat, and there just wasn't enough of it on the bone to feel satisfying. The dish as a whole needed salt as well. The yuca rellena came served as four balls, but the smoked gouda cheese inside overpowered the flavor of the yuca. It seemed like the yuca was processed to achieve the rolled ball shape, which left me missing the natural texture of yuca that I usually enjoy. Overall, the food and atmosphere at Pink Salt make it a solid choice for a nice night out. While there's room for improvement on some dishes, the tenderloin alone makes it worth another visit.

    When I dine I look for 4 things: Ambiance, great cocktails, not too loud (so I don't have to yell to my friends) and interesting AND of course tasty dishes. Pink Salt scores high in all 4 of these categories. Consistently good across the board. Try the Pisco Sour and the Aviator cocktail. The octopus is also surprisingly tasty. What's more, they are a repeat prize donor for our Vino in the Village Reuse Raffle. They care about reducing unnecessary waste, and thanks to their generous prize donation, we cut our Vino plastic waste in half (BYOG = 1 raffle ticket & chance to win dinner for 2 at Pink Salt!). They're a good local and planetary neighbor.

    Chicha morada
    Shirley S.

    Came here for lunch on a Saturday. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor patio was dog friendly and I saw about 15 tables out there, mostly tables for 2. Food and drink was just okay overall. We ordered the chicha morada, lomo saltado, and ceviche nikkei. Chicha morada was fine, but didn't taste like typical traditional chicha morada - it was just overwhelmingly tart. Lomo saltado was too vinegary and the meat was just a tad chewier than I like, so I wouldn't recommend that here. Ceviche nikkei was the star of the show. It was delicious and refreshing, and the fish tasted high quality - I would absolutely come back just for this dish.

    We tried Pink Salt for dinner, and while the service and ambiance were truly great, the food itself missed the mark for us. Both my husband's meal and mine were a bit too salty, and for the price point I expected the flavors to stand out more. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was really pleasant with a perfect noise level for conversation. Overall, it wasn't bad just not as flavorful as we hoped. I'd still be open to giving it another try in the future because the service and vibe were wonderful!

    Food was DELICIOUS!!! Enjoyed the spinach pesto. Service great & attentive. Casual, comfy vibe.

    Risotto Al Pesto con Lomo / Pesto Risotto with Tenderloin

    10/10 service amazing. Vibe so chill and lighting is cute! But the pesto risotto and tenderloin was fire. Shared with a friend, good amount of food. Come here for a good steak. Try the blackberry old fashioned. Chefs kiss**

    Pisco sour
    Tanya F.

    Amazing experience! I loved everything about this place with the ambience service and the food was so beautifully presented. I was here for a birthday party and they were so attentive he made us feel really special. The best part was the pico sours, and how adorable they were decorated with the image of a llama. Will definitely be back.!

    The food was delicious, although not as healthy as we thought it would be with ordering salad and fish. The salad was quite unique flavors, and in my opinion was the best part of the meal. The black cod was soft like butter, but loaded with oil/butter and did not feel too lean. it was also sitting on top of a large bed of risotto that tasted closer to mac & cheese than a high end restaurant. The ratio of fish to carby risotto did not feel balanced. The dessert included shortbread cookies, normally a favorite. However, these cookies were abundantly dry and crumbled a bit too easily. To top it off, they were coated in sugar to an excessive extent, and I can say we decided not to finish dessert. The staff were friendly. Overall, I can say it wasn't terrible and the food was somewhat unique, but with the exception of the salad, it's not a place I would be running to go back to.

    Lomo Salteado... yum.
    Andrew L.

    Magnolia has been, in my mind, not the hotbed for restaurants. True, that Petit Pierre started there, and became to popular, that it was purchased and now it's becoming a small local chain of nearly top-notch French food. No, I never thought of this area as a place to visit. Pink Salt defies that thinking, by planting in the middle of Magnolia, a wonderful eatery, which is dreamy goodness. It feels cozy, intimate, yet spacious in the right way. The ambiance is all about the salt... the food is perfectly seasoned.. and it's Peruvian Inspired. my food order was Lomo Saltado, which is Silver beef tenderloin stir-fried and served with red onions and tomato. This has rice and potatoes also. It was delicious. I mean, I'm definitely interested in coming back, and if this is the start to a nice row of restaurants, then I'm all for it.

    A friend recommended this place and so I decided to try it out. The food was delicious and very fresh and flavorful. If you're looking for a different cuisine to try I would stop here. It is on the pricier side so it would also be perfect place to treat yourself or a date night.

    The food at Pink Salt is so delicious. They have a dog friendly patio with umbrellas. The service is always top notch. They play Latin music on the speakers which adds a nice background to an already delightful experience.

    Feels like I was transported to Peru :) opened 8 years ago…read more Ambiance, lovely service and of course the food. Went on Tues lunch- it was chill. DUO #1: CEVICHE + ARROZ CON MARISCOS $34 The seafood was tender and had octopus, calamari, shrimp and one mussel. Portion was large! LOMO SALTADO / Peruvian Stirfry Loin $23 The beef could be more tender. Fries and sauce were good (lacked the aji Amarillo) . Zero spice with option to add post. Good value ( I don't say that often these days) Parking available. Located in a quiet subtle strip mall. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful little family-run Peruvian restaurant that's worth a visit. Ignore the posts/reviews…read moreabout "service is bad." It's not. It's a small family-run place. Honestly, I get really tired of some Yelp reviewers who act so entitled and belittle a small place like this--it does not reflect well on the Yelp community. And here's a hint, you don't go to a restaurant 45 minutes or shorter before closing time and expect a perfect experience. In fact, many restaurants now close their kitchens to orders 30 minutes before that closing time; so stop acting so freaking entitled when you go in that time window. Okay, on to this place. We LOVED it. The service was friendly and helpful. No, it's not the fastest in the world, and mistakes were made (one for us with an ingredient we're allergic to--so ALWAYS double- and triple-check), but we didn't expect it to be. It was fine. The food was wonderful. These are Peruvians, and these are their family recipes. They may be different from certain other Peruvian family recipes. So what. Deal with it. The food was great. We will be returning. Many times. Loved it!

    Very nice in terms of everything! We went for lunch here on a Friday. We did make a reservation in…read moreadvance but it was not crowded, so I would think walking in would be okay too in lunch hours. But this is a really upscale place and assume the place runs at full capacity during dinner hours. There is parking under the building and you can get your parking ticket validated by your server before leaving - so no stress with parking in downtown. Yes, this is an expensive place but since we were here during lunch hours, we were able to take advantage of the Executive Lunch - Set menu for $45 per person. Among us 3 people, we were able to taste everything available in that set menu and every single dish was amazing - like truly, from presentation to flavors, especially the 3 appetizers - so so very good! This is everything we had - Starters - 1. Sunchoke Cebiche - must try 2. Roquitas Nikkei - must try 3. Clásico Cebiche - must try Main 1. Wild Mushroom Saltado 2. Lomo Saltado 3. Arroz con Mariscos Dessert 1. Tres Leches de Coco - must try Service was very well timed. We had an amazing time. Great place for a team lunch/dinner. Location is perfect, heart of downtown but none of the road noise or human traffic. A wonderful add to downtown Bellevue!

    I took my husband here for a birthday lunch and if it's just for the food, I would give it a 4.5/5…read more The food was excellent with one with one bad part but not enough to deter us from all the other foods. Eggplant dish -berenjena criolla 5/5 -- favorite dish of the day. Love that you can still taste a bit of the fried texture on the eggplant and flavor was nutty, creamy, and citrusy. Achupado 3/5 - this was a good dish, there was a variety of seafood and they were all good except for the octopus. That was inedible. I wished they cut it to smaller pieces so it can be eaten easier or give us a knife but as is, it was way too tough and chewy. Flavors was spot on, I do wish they gave more noodles to absorb the sauce Ceviche tasting - 5/5 love the variety. All of them was fresh, tangy and flavorful Complimentary corn - 5/5 this was addicting Service 3/5 : our server was very knowledgeable, he gave us a little of a tour of the menu, cam check on us a couple of times. However, I wish he would have clearly explained that the executive lunch was for the whole table, not just individual. Also, cleaning our table while we are still there is a bit rude in my opinion, almost feel like they are rushing us out. The place is fancy and very very pricey. Good for special occasions or once in a while splurge.
