We came for Valentine's Day and really enjoyed our meal. The service was great and they even gave us some valentines chocolates as we were cashing out. We started with the mussels and clams as an app- this was yummy but I wish there was a GF bread option to go along with it. Huge portion for an app so we had some to take home. I got the steak with fries and chimichurri and a blood orange mocktail. The mocktail was amazing and the food was really great too- steak was cooked perfectly. My husband got the burger and thought it was okay- wasn't anything amazing for the price. Overall, a very cute spot and great for a date night! read more

Went here for brunch and got the avocado tomato Benedict with gluten free muffin and spicy popcorn chicken. Portions are generous. The popcorn chicken was delicious and I didn't think it was spicy so don't be afraid of that. Cheesy grits and two soft poached eggs came was SOOO good. My friend had some and said it was delicious. Lots of home fries--we couldn't finish. Also had mimosas. Service was great. You can tell it was festive. Wish there was more bathrooms read more

Salt and Iron is one my favorite restaurants in Edmonds. I've been here a few times for dinner and brunch, both are fantastic. Going for dinner we basically ordered half the menu and shared amongst the table. Everything was delicious. Our waiter was fantastic and so was the rest of the staff. Love sitting outside in the summer. read more

I love Salt and Iron, every time I visit; my family and I receive exceptional service and amazing food. The last few times we dined, we were lucky enough to have Dana host us throughout our meal. We wanted a cider off the drink menu but it was sold out so Dana brought us another option and it complimented our oysters and calamari. The oysters were fresh and the ice that comes along with it is so good which is one of the reasons I keep returning. Usually restaurants have lemon and tabasco along with the dish but I think the acidic ice is a VERY nice touch. For the main course we had the Salt and Iron ribeye, prawns and shoestring french fries. They had a chimichurri sauce on the steak and Dana brought out some jalapeño aioli for the fries, everything was delicious. Every time I eat at the restaurant, I already want to come back. Dana constantly kept checking in with us and ensured everything was to our liking. He genuinely made an effort to connect with us, Dana has the "aloha" which most restaurants lack these days. Mahalo for always welcoming my ohana and me. read more

I met some friends here earlier today. My crab Benedict was delicious, and I would order it again. Everyone else enjoyed their entrees too. My Bellini (peach mimosa) wasn't particularly good, which was a shame as it's my favorite brunch drink. My sister had to ask for a coffee refill three times before it arrived at the table. It was super-noisy too, which isn't my favorite atmosphere. So as long as you're prepared for a slightly uneven experience, Salt and Iron is a good choice. read more

Came here for restaurant week. Food was amazing!! I had the oysters, flat iron steak and pumpkin crème caramel!

We really enjoyed our time at Salt and Iron. We started with seasonal oysters and S&I shoestring french fries, entrees were the mushroom risotto delicious and a generous portion, filet mignon with mashed potatoes perfectly cooked to medium rare, the scallops with spinach bacon salad was delicious the portion is 4 scallops which seems slight but they are so rich 4 is plenty. We chose the caramel brownie for dessert. Service was great read more

It's Birthday Time! At least it was, a friend had a birthday and I told him dinner was on me. I thought he knew me well enough to know that two things I don't care for are Steak and Seafood, clearly the specialty of this place. Any other night, I would have vetoed the request, but your birthday, your call. This was my first time in Edmonds, at least this area. It was quaint and felt more like the other side of the sound. Not a place I'd like to live, but can see the charm in it. I've never liked seafood, the smell of it alone makes me nauseous. Steak is like BBQ, I've never paid for it and enjoyed it. When my parents made steak or bbq, it was a seasoning or dry rub, no wine, sauces or glazes. Just char cooked flavor. With that in mind, I had the burger, it was pretty good, I'd probably go 7/10, the bun was a bit heavy, but I guess they do that to fill you up, I just ended up removing the bottom bun to compensate. My friend dropped $80 on the steak and ended up hating it. I felt bad, but it's what I expected. He said the meat was dry and tough and lacked flavor. He did have the sauce on the side and assumes the flavor was infused in the sauce. I don't know, I think every steak house should have a well seasoned char cooked steak. I probably still wouldn't try it myself, because salt is a bad word in restaurants these days and when I say well-seasoned, I like my steak to taste and old fashioned beef jerky. Peppered, salted with hints of garlic and onion. I wouldn't be interested in coming back, nor would my friend. For me, this place is out of the way and the burger just wasn't impressive enough to remain on my list. I could go to Re Robin, have a similar burger for $10 less with bottomless fries. Steakhouse or not, $25 is too ambitious for a burger in my book. read more

First of all is a very lovely place and inside it's very beautiful and well organized BUT the Quality of the ingredients is the best part of it. We ordered a burger and S&I green salad which was so fresh and delicious, and added chicken to it( chicken wasn't flavorful. Which was the only sad part). We loved both. Skinny fries was a bounce. Also staff are very polite and nice so definitely a good place. read more

I truly do not see the hype. I work in an organic sustainable and local based bistro so I can appreciate an expensive well put together meal with fresh ingredients. I am all about the experience and delicious food- I have no problem paying for it. I am giving 2 stars not one only because our service was great. Thank you for that. Our experience- we had reservations and were sat in the most awkward tiny table in the very back corner by the dish area. My back and the girls seat at the table behind me were touching. Wayyy too close I could barely get in and out of my seat without touching her. Constant servers bringing dirty dishes to the back right by our table when the entire restaurant was open with tables in much better areas. We asked to move and the host was nice about moving us to a different table. Now to the food- honestly nothing about our 3 coursed dishes was worth the price and the flavor profile of my pork dish was so off. I couldn't even tell what I was eating or what weird flavor profile they came up with for the dish. You can also see the $65 steak dish in the back under a giant plate of French fries no veggies or anything else. Yum.. what?. I hate to leave a review like this but it's true. Over $175 on two people JUST FOOD (without any drinks) is absolutely insane for a much less than okay dinner. The dessert however was amazing! read more

We were in Seattle for the weekend and wanted to explore a bit further so we gave this place a try for dinner. Didn't have an issue getting a reservation on a Sunday night. We were first shown to a table in the back room that was kind of dark, but asked to be seated in the sunnier front room instead which wasn't an issue. The sunnier room felt more lively and enjoyable. I had the petit steak which was perfectly cooked, well seasoned and served with a plentiful portion of mashed potatoes (which were also very good). The asparagus was fresh, a little crunchy as it should be, and delicious. My only criticism is that the beet salad had way too much arugula and could have had more beets. As a beet lover, I think beet salads should focus on the beet! Great dinner overall, would come back again if I happen to be in the area. read more

Salt and Iron - Beet salad - more beets and less greens please. - Seafood Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

such a cute place by the water that is great for brunch! we came a bit earlier with a reservation but they sat us down immediately :) the workers were so great and nice, going above and beyond with their service. i ordered the corned beef hash and shared the jalapeño cheddar biscuits. the corned beef hash was so great and not dry at all, very flavorful but is lacking a bit of texture. the jalapeño cheddar biscuits were amazing and came with an herb butter that made it even better!! towards the end, they gave us a complimentary cinnamon roll that was to die for! the dough was flakey and soft as it was kind of like a brioche but so moist with a great frosting on top, i would definitely try their other pastries as they are divine. read more

Salt and Iron - Sliced Steak Salad - Seafood Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Salt and Iron was the perfect place for a birthday dinner. Our waitress Sarah was so nice, and made excellent drink and wine suggestions. She was attentive, and funny. The food was absolutely amazing. The calamari contains pieces of deep fried jalapeños, which I don't even like, and I ate about 4. Absolutely amazing. I tried an oyster for the first time and the red wine gastrique (?) that you drizzle on top was amazing. Excellent first oyster experience! I had the 12 oz NY filet, but the seafood boil was also amazing. Our table also had the risotto, and duck, which both had rave reviews. White chocolate ginger mousse for dessert which was delicate, but flavorful. Would definitely come back! The one downside, as with most of Edmonds, parking. Street parking only, but it's a pretty walk. read more

Saltniron.com Salt & Iron is local restauranter, Shubert Ho (Salt & Iron, The Market, Fire & Feast, The Potlatch Bistro, and SanKai) crowning jewel in his six restaurant downtown Edmonds (aka, "The Bowl") crown. This is his Fenway Park, IMO. Salt and Iron, to me, like Shakespeare's Hamlet, takes all that he has accomplished in his comedies, tragedies, and historical sonnets in a skillet and masterfully incorporated them in this restaurant. I like a little adventure from time to time. I'm much more a sucker for the SALT (fins and flipper food) than the IRON (legs and fur), so natural I went with: S&I SEAFOOD CHOWDER ($12 / $16) salmon · shrimp · clams · octopus · creamy seafood broth · potatoes · dill · grilled como SEAFOOD POT ($60 / $80) jumbo prawns · clams · mussels · sausage · tomato · potato · fennel · grilled corn · white butter sauce · grilled como I left with an epic experience that ravels a Herman Melville character. Classic. You should too. Then I'll call you Ishmael. read more

I liked the intimate atmosphere of this restaurant and the friendly staff. We had a later reservation at 8:30 PM. But before we left they started cleaning up pretty loudly around us. There was loud clinking sounds of the glass, plates, and silverware that ruined the atmosphere. Part of me thinks it's understandable since it's close to closing but it's not the experience i would expect at a restaurant of this price point. For food we ordered the seattle restaurant week menu and got one of everything. And overall the food can be summed up as bland and underwhelming. Appetizers - The oysters were fresh, but there were only three. The frozen cucumber dip reminded me of cucumber flavored shaved ice which wasn't super flavorful. - The charred broccolini was just that, charred broccoli, not too much flavor but i liked the pickled onions on the top that provided an acidic kick Main course - Pork tenderloin came out luke warm which wasn't appetizing. The pork itself was bland and the red lentil romesco and vegetables didn't pair well with the pork - surf n turf. The fries were great. I really enjoyed the thin cut crispy fries. The steak we ordered medium, but it came out closer to medium rare, it was pretty red in the middle, also lukewarm. The steak itself wasn't that flavorful but the steak sauce made up for it Dessert - panna cotta with shortbread. I enjoyed this, and it is a bit on the tart side. The tart rhubarb gelee on the top paired nicely with the creamy panna cotta, but the shortbread cookies tasted like dough - nutty squirrel gelato. This was a rich peanut butter ice cream with chocolate bits that was enjoyable as well Overall the food was alright. Its good quality but lacking in flavor which didn't justify the price point for me. read more

What a beautiful restaurant near the Edmonds ferry terminal. I love the airy atmosphere to this place... great date spot. We ordered a dozen variety of oysters which were delicious, but definitely on the smaller size for the price ($4/each). I ordered the beet salad with steak added. Again, steak was so small for paying $8 extra. I was still hungry after eating. My daughter ordered a grilled cheese with a small bowl of fruit which was $10. I know this is a more upscale place but I felt the pricing was on the higher end vs. the quality & quantity you receive. My beet salad was just okay... barely got any beets. Customer service was top notch! I would say we had such a pleasant experience because of the customer service from the host to the various servers that came by our table. They were so patient with my toddler as well. I might come back for maybe a special occasion. read more

This place gets 3 stars based on the wait for the check, awkward seating at the beginning, and having to ask for Silverware. We went here on a Saturday afternoon. We arrived on foot, and were told it was a 30 minute wait for a table (even though there were open tables... everywhere) but that we could go sit in the bar, as there were open seats. Another nice lade walked us over to the busy bar, where there was no seats at all open, and apologized and walked us back over to the front. We stood awkwardly, not really knowing if that meant we were being put on the wait list, or what, when the host looked up and said "give me a minute while I do some tetris" After maybe one minute, she walked us to the table in front of the front door. Which was one of the open tables along the front side. We were happy to get a table, anywhere, as we had an engagement further into the afternoon. The bloody mary's were excellent. They had shrimp on them! Yum! And just the right amount of spice. The server kept our water filled, but did not offer us much to add to the experience. No questions about if we had ever been there, or if we wanted to start with an appetizer. I couldn't tell if it was because they were busy, or if maybe they thought we couldn't afford it? Lol. We did come in without a reservation after all. My boyfriend picked a lentil sausage thing, which is VERY out of character for him, and it was amazing. The food was hot and out extremely quickly, which was great for our situation. We had to ask for Silverware, as we did not get any before the food arrived and the server did not seem to notice. Check was put on the table in a mug, and she walked by our payment 4 or 5 times before picking it up. It added probably 15 minutes extra to our experience. Waiting for the check to be paid. We had only spent 35 minutes in there total, so that added quite a bit to our time frame. She was circulating our area pretty heavily at that point. I'm not sure why she didn't pick it up right after she dropped it off. It was kind of irritating though, and it made our meal feel 'unimportant' compared to the rest of her section. All-in-all I would make reservations to guarantee a spot if you go on Saturday and have plans. We will go back another time, maybe for dinner, when we are on that side of the water, and give it another go. I will make sure we don't have anywhere else to be, and see if the service is as good as the food. That would have made this place 5 stars! read more

We celebrated a birthday here today and really enjoyed Salt and Iron. They have a fantastic Brunch menu and there's something for everyone. In addition, they have a great brunch cocktail menu along with oysters on the half shell. Service was friendly and prompt, and food was quickly served after ordering- but we were glad we had a reservation as it was quite busy! The best of all, they knew it was a birthday celebration and they brought out a delicious cinnamon role with a candle! Can't wait to return for dinner sometime soon. read more

Had nice dinner with my parents! We had octopus for appetizer, seafood pot, and burger. Octopus was amazing! Outer part was crispy and inner part was so soft! I was blown away how they could cook it like this! Also the potatoes and other vegetables were perfectly cooked. The puree enhanced the taste of the dish. Seafood pot was a bit disappointing with 4 large shrimps, clams, mussles, tomatoes, corn, and lots of sausages. I expected more seafood and was not expecting so much of sausages. I saw some reviews that the soup was too mild and didnt have much taste. I actually liked that the soup wasn't too overwhelming. It was tomato base with sweet ending. It's a large portion - we couldn't finish it. I didn't mind the dish but wouldn't get it again. Burger hit the spot! It was perfectly cooked to medium rare and the skinny French fries were a good touch of crispness. I would 10 out of 10 recommend to get the burger and octopus! I will be back! read more

I had brunch here and thought my dish was just fine but didn't stand out in any way. What did stand out was the BEST blood Mary I have ever had. I know each place makes them a little differently, so it'll be a personal preference. But my co-drinker, a regular in the bloody Mary world, agreed it was pretty damn stellar (and that my eggs and potatoes were pretty darn standard). So we agree 3-4 stars, depending on what you're in for. Bottom line: Get the bloody Mary. read more

I enjoyed Salt and Iron for its fresh seafood dishes and bright, chic ambience. Food: 4/5. I had the Sumo Kumamoto oysters (5/5), Octopus (5/5), fingerling potatoes (4/5), calamari (4.5/5), seafood chowder (5/5), and Salt and Iron with flatiron steak (3.5/5). The oysters were notably fresh! The octopus was cooked perfectly to my tastes - slightly crispy at the end of the tentacle and slightly chewy in the thickest part - and accompanying carrot purée and andouille salad gave the dish a perfect vegetal and savory flavors. In the fingerling potatoes, the truffle and Parmesan flavors are prominent but light. Ambience and service: 5/5. Everything from the dishes to the decor was very chic! Servers are friendly and polite. I loved the experience. read more

My sister and I were actually going to another place that had a long wait so we decided to walk down to this place we over heard another couple was going to. Boy were we glad we did! The food we had was absolutely delicious and fresh! Everything was so well made and good size we could not finish our plates, we had left overs for later. I had the chilaquiles verdes with egg-they add "Green Goddess Dressing " I could not believe how good it was my sister actually asked for a side of the dressing to dip her potatoes in. She also got the French toast to go with her potatoes. The french toas was rich and moist so good came with berries on top. The potatoes were crispy and seasoned very well. We will definitely be going back to try more items. Oh and to wash it all down some Peach Mimosas. read more

Salt & Iron was a wonderful experience! We had a reservation for Saturday night and sat at a high top in the bar area. It was a bit loud but the whole place was loud so that's really just the ambience, but I loved seeing all the delicious food that came out from the kitchen. Everything looked wonderful and it tasted great! The octopus was crispy on the outside but soft and well-cooked on the inside :) my burger was flavorful, although a bit messy (some lettuce and a piece of bacon fell out when I picked it up). Dessert was delicious too! The macarons were well made and the filling was creamy. I think the cake could have used more of a sauce than the plum curd but still enjoyable. Service was great and I look forward to returning read more

I have eaten here before when on business and said I'm going back. Last time a coworker and I shared a few plates and the Bone Marrow App. stood out. This time by myself and rather busy for a client tour the next day went to the familiar restaurant a short drive from my hotel. I told Richard to look at the menu and see what looks good so he Yelped for me while on my way there and said he liked the soup the Hatch Chili Pazole, try that and then I got there. I was almost ready to do the Bone Marrow but was so happy I got the Grilled Octopus. Never having a Pazole before Richard said try it, its unique and really good he's had them in Houston. It was excellent. But the star was the Octopus! So tender, not tough or chewey Perfection. Highly reccomend! Service was prompt and my server was cognizant of my cues, I was on the phone with my husband and he kept a watchful eye tuning in when needed. read more

Came for dinner, sat outside and had a great time. Rating is for food only. Service was wonderful and server was attentive and friendly. - Calamari: loved the breading and the addition of fried jalapeños made the dish. - Patatas bravas: the sauce (yogurt and chutney) made the dish. The fingerlings were crispy on the outside, nice and cooked on the inside. - New York steak and frites ($50): cooked a good medium rare and the fries were delicious - Shrimp Louie salad, sub vinaigrette + steak ($23): very fresh, so filling and I do not regret for one second the vinaigrette sub. Found a few romaine leaves with dirt on 'em, but didn't ruin the meal. The extra steak was also very worth the additional $8. Overall, delicious food, good atmosphere (even though we were outside), friendly service. Definitely can't come on the reg due to the pricing but will be back! read more

Relaxed place to splurge on a nice meal. Location/parking: Downtown Edmonds, just got to find street parking. During the summer they closed off some of the roads, so had to walk a couple blocks. Ambiance: They've got tented outdoor seating with heat-lamps. It's got a modern hipster feel, pulling on local vibes. Service: Friendly service, they were busy, so didn't come over as often as I would have liked to refill drinks. Food: Appetizers - Calamari/soft shell crab - fried perfectly, but would have liked an additional pairing of sauce or more creative one. SNI fries, basically poutine - love the shoestring fries, sauce was average. Wagyu tartare - loved the chicharron - freshest I've had - great idea to put these 2 together, the tartare itself could have used a little more salt. Entrees - Wow, the Wagyu NY was amazing. Cooked perfectly, so tender, creamy pepper sauce was sooooo good! This and the mashed potatoes that came with it were probably our favorites for the evening. The shareable seafood pot huge. I would probably get this again just for its sheer shareable size although the sauce lacked flavor, but it's a fun dish to share - like a Louisiana seafood boil sans the cajun spice. Recommendation: The overall experience was great. Would definitely be back on nice occasions and get the Wagyu and mash as well as the apps. read more
