Superb experience. Divine flavors. Exceptional service. Thank you Stella! Ordered the Prix Fixe menu with the wine pairing. Simple means more really works here. High quality and fresh ingredients. Scratch made broths. The seafood pot was OFF the HOOK, heaven sent. My only regret was not having more of the dish! I am not a sauce on my steak kind of person but the bone marrow reduction on the wagyu ribeye was just right. What can I say....it was worth the drive. I'm sold!!!! read more

This up date is a reply to Robert L who invited me to provide my personal information to him to receive a guest card to try Salt and Iron again. Robert L, the problem with a gift card is that it identifies a reviewer. Therein, the restaurant and staff are alerted to treat the party with special consideration. That is not how anonymous reviews are kept legit. Rather, it is called manipulation. I read that others really like your food. Since the service is before the food, I never really got that far beyond the lackluster service. One very strong item in your favor is that you reply to each of the yelpers who review your restaurant. There are many businesses who do not take the time that you do to show your care and concern. One other item that needs mentioning is that you are the restaurant at the Edmonds Senior Center that provides a rather elegant lunch experience. You have a lot going for you. Please capitalize on it! read more

Came for a late brunch last Saturday. Reservations are highly recommended as there is limited seating. Decor was cute and country chic. My chicken was fantastic. Still blown away at the quantity! It's easily enough to share with another person. Steak was good but the salad as a whole was over salted. I look forward to trying their dinner sometime. read more

Amazing food, prompt service and a great atmosphere made the night even better than I expected!

The brunch here was insanely good. We started with the salmon toast (10/10 MUST TRY) and then for our mains, we got steak & eggs (filet) and steak Benedict. Loved that they had pomegranate mimosas as an option as well. If you go, you gotta order the salmon toast! Instead of cream cheese, they use a herb chèvre (goat cheese) and it makes a huge difference! read more

Went here for late lunch/early dinner during happy hour. Mainly to get the happy hour priced Pacific Oysters. We ended up ordering about 5 dozen Oysters, and the Seafood pot. Overall, i think the menu was overpriced and the Seafood pot was not quite worth it. Especially relative to the price. The pacific oysters were definitely great. A bit small, but still worth getting at $1.75 at happy hour prices. If it was $1, it would be a killer deal. maybe $1.25 - $1.50 seems more appropriate due to the size of the oysters. But regardless, still worth getting. They were very clean in taste and fresh. The service however was 5/5. Regardless of the food, their service is amazing. All the staff members were attentive, kind, and worked as a team. At the very least, if you want oysters, i recommend going here. Especially moreso due to the great service. read more

I came here for restaurant week and had an amazing experience. I sat at the bar and was greeted by a friendly face. I had the rabbit and the hamachi and they were both so delicious. The hamachi meal with he jalapeño rice and mangos was definitely one of my favorite dishes ever. The lavender crème brûlée was my dessert and it was good too. This is a lovely restaurant in edmonds super close to the water front. The atmosphere is cozy, yet fancy. read more

Fantastic spot! Daily Happy Hour from 3-6, and the first hour will get you $1 oysters. These aren't wimpy little oysters either - they were plump, meaty, creamy Pacific oysters. The Happy Hour is what brought gut us in today and the menu, the ambiance, and the service will be what brings us back. The beef sliders, grilled shrimp salad, and speciality french fries were all in point. The bar is kinda small, so make sure you go on an off day or plan to get there early. Great variety of beer and spirits in the bar, but the vodka section was lite. read more

Absolutely love this restaurant. Yes, it's pricy, but that is only because their level of expertise, quality of food, and overall experience is hands down amazing! And I should also mention, servings are quite large. If your looking for something special, this is your place! read more

Always fantastic. A great space, with friendly servers. The manager often stops by and chats for a second. Dinner is always delicious. I haven't been there for a brunch yet. read more

To be honest, K and I came here with another couple for the first time a few weeks ago and thought it was great. We started off with a round of drinks and a dozen oysters (shigoku, kumamoto, and fat bastards, though a little steep at around $45). We then got two orders of the seafood pot and the short rib, and brownie dessert (needs work, but the other couple really liked it and finished ours, lol). Good food and ambiance, nice outdoor seating areas, and would easily rate it as a four star. We came back a couple weeks later with my parents since we enjoyed it the first time. The hostesses were super nice and sat us immediately. Our server was ok. We ordered a couple of apps, fries and the octopus. Both were overly salty, but still I'd get the fries again. The octopus was ok, but needed a hit of acid and the meaty parts of the octopus were good and well cooked, but the skinnier ends felt burnt. We then got the marinated chickpea salad and it was very good. Fresh and vibrant and slightly decadent with the labneh and avocado. We got the large seafood pot, the S&I Burger, and the Cassoulet. Seafood pot was huge and definitely was plenty for the four of us to share. The burger was surprisingly tasty and came with more fries (in hindsight, we didn't NEED to get a separate order of fries, lol). The cassoulet with the duck confit and the pieces of pork belly was small in portion, but was really good and comforting on a cold fall evening. However, service was a bit slow and hard to find someone when we needed something. And we weren't even asked about dessert. They cleared our plates and just brought the checks- put a bit of a sour tasted in K's mouth, understandably. For four adults, with no alcohol, the bill came to $200+, and for that amount, I'd say that the hospitality was lacking. Overall, I'd like to give the place 3.5, but it might be awhile before I come back. read more

Every single time I've been here (probably a dozen times now) I am impressed. I've spent way more money for way worse food (looking at you "art of the table"). Every time I walk away from dinner at salt and iron thinking that was one of the best meals I've ever had. The rib eye is cooked perfect every time, the shaved ice vinagrette that comes with the oysters is bomb, and the soft shell crab calamari is like an entire meal in itself and its incredible. Props to the chef and the bartenders for awesome food and fantastic service. read more

I've grown to like this place. Their chowder is amazing, it's not runny and not only does it include fresh clams you also get salmon in their soup! This place has a great menus with different dishes for those who don't like seafood. Steak, salads, and burgers too. I forgot to mention their avocado toast! If you're looking for a meal that's worth your penny, I would recommend going to Salt and Iron. read more

I was underwhelmed by the small plates at Salt and Iron. The steak tartare was under-seasoned. The octopus was flavorless. The saffron sauce was pleasant but wasted on the potatoes in the octopus dish. The asparagus did not blend with the crab salad. The lemon chiffon cake was dry. The highlights of the meal were the shrimp toast and the peach sunset. The shrimp toast was not overly exciting but stood out against the other plates. The peach sunset featured an ice cream that felt more lavender than basil but paired well with the warm peaches and peach compote. They could have skipped the fried basil leaf. Average, at best. read more

This place is situated perfectly in downtown Edmonds. Outside patio even has views of the water and is stanchioned off so the pedestrians don't get in your way. The inside bar is lively! There is a TV for the sports fans- perfect for basketball playoff season as it is now. The dining area is perfectly tucked away for tranquility if you prefer that. The staff has outstanding customer service! I asked for differences between wines and the server immediately asked if I would like to sample each. Of course! The order: - complimentary homemade chips and aoli. -24 ounce steak- it's huge but so worth the splurge for 2 people!! Tender with an amazing green sauce to pair. -castraveltrano (sp?) olives with anchovies and pickled veggies. My favs. -cauliflower is a must try appetizer! -scallops and risotto: a whole lot of amazing risotto and delicious scallops -oysters are a must. First time in a LONG time they were perfectly shucked without any sand grit or shell with a shaved ice oyster sauce. REFRESHING! The name of the game is called Salt & Iron, Oysters and Steak, and it definitely backs itself up the name. I would definitely make reservations as it's been booked even on weekdays and holidays! A must in Edmonds! Tip: They make their own cocktail concoctions in house and age them in house! Try one. There's also happy hour but I haven't made it yet. read more

Great food and great service plus a wonderful location in downtown Edmonds, nicely close to the Edmonds Center for the Arts.

Happy hour is fantastic here. Plates are generous portions, drinks are top notch, and service was great.

"A nice neighborhood spot full of potential." A nice cozy spot for midweek dinner. The corner location provides good visibility and the large windows gives a preview of the interior decor and well-lit bar. We finally gave Salt and Iron a try after multiple passes. Seating was in abundance and we were immediately brought chips and aioli to start. The menu had some decent selections and enough to intrigue the palette. I requested the flat iron steak medium rare however arrived medium done with some parts rare. Though unevenly cooked the blue cheese topping was a nice touch and provided a good complexity. This restaurant was all about the aioli dipping sauces and never skimped on the condiments. The server was quick to point out the sauce. Cocktails were expertly mixed and poured served with the appropriate garnish. My Negroni definitely arrived in fashion. Service was very friendly and immediate to correct missing side orders. We were pleased at the intervals of check ins and ensuring water glasses are filled. Overall, I would give this restaurant another try. The good service made a lasting impression. Though the steak slightly missed the requested "done-ness" I would still revisit to try other items on the menu. read more

I brought my mom to S&I for Mother's Day brunch. Our server was really friendly, almost too attentive though ;), and had good knowledge of the menu. We ordered their bloody Mary's, deliciously tangy, a little spicy, and the prawn and bacon were a nice touch! We ordered multiple items and shared. The sat and iron greens salad was awesome; super fresh ingredients and a pretty decent sized portion to share. The smoked salmon toast was great as well. My mom doesn't enjoy goat cheese and the kitchen happily put it on the side. (If it was socially appropriate to lick the goat cheese ramekin, I would have.) We also ordered the seafood frittata which had a decent amount of seafood, but was a tad bit bland. To end the meal we shared the chocolate cherry almond torte, which was quite rich and flavorful however it wasn't much of a torte, more like a cake almost. Overall, we really enjoyed our brunch experience here and I would happily come back again or to try HH/Dinner. read more

Food is excellent. Oysters are always fresh. However, it is somewhat overpriced when compared to other restaurants with similar menu offerings. read more

This meal was incredible!!! I came with a group of 4 on a Sunday morning at prime brunch time (11-11:30ish) and there was no wait; we were seated immediately. The menu had looked so good before hand and the food truly delivered. Their eggs Benedict was one of the best I had ever had! The crispy potatoes that came with it were also amazing. We also got French toast to share, and it was delicious as well. Our waitress was super nice and the food came out pretty fast. If I was in town longer, I would definitely come back here. Probably a little on the pricey side compared to average but WELL worth it. 10/10!! read more

Fantastic local restaurant. I went here for brunch last weekend and it was amazing; I will most definitely be coming back later. First off, the food was great and the portion sizes were very generous. I want to try everything on the menu! The ambiance is also some of the best I've seen. It feels so cozy and I feel at home right when I sat down. They even offered coat check which I was surprised to find in downtown Edmonds. The place felt so lively and the servers seemed like they really cared. read more

Food is very overpriced for what you get. You are mostly paying for ambience. Two of our friends got sick after eating either the oysters or steak tartar. My hamburger was burnt and tasted tough and uneventful. I would say Dicks burger was better which is sad. I've eaten here on and off the past 4 yrs most bc friends want to go bc they don't know any better. Try to go during happy hour 4-6 so you can get a better deal on the menu items. read more

It was my first time at Salt & Iron, and 1st time dining in Edmonds. It's just not a place I associate with good food. (Sorry, I don't go to Edmonds much.) But, wow, was I surprised. It was a Wednesday evening, we (2) got there around five and asked to be seated at the bar. The restaurant is small with simple and slick design, feeling spacious. My chair faces the kitchen. It was fun watching them delivering beautiful plates of food. The cocktail menu is long. I tried something called the "joy seasoning"(? I think I butcher the name) a fusion version of Manhattan. It was delicious and strong. I was a little tipsy after that:) We ordered something from the happy hour menu and some from dinner menu. You must try the smelt fries if it's in season. They know how to prepare it, and the dipping sauce is awesome. The grilled Landjaeger is interesting. It is salty and crispy. With the dipping sauce, it was fantastic. I was already very happy with those 2, then the waitress brought out the Brussels sprouts. Sure, if I must eat some green vegetable. It tastes so good sauté with bacon!!! Who knew Brussels sprouts can be tasty? Finally she brought us the bone marrow. It came in a generous size of 3 bones and 4 pieces of toasts. The toast is worth mentioning. If the restaurant serves good bread, their food quality is not far behind. The bone marrow, is not as good as I expected. I like the goat cheese, but the sweetness kind of threw me off. But I still happily ate two toasts. What's not to like? It's fat on toast! After my visit I read some negative reviews. It is unfortunate. This little place has dive bar waitresses, strong cocktails, good food, nice and clean, in the sleepy Edmonds!?!?! I would like to give it a 5 star and be a regular there! read more

This place was decent, it's in a cute location but the food I found to be not really matching the price point.

The presentation was excellent read more

Salt and Iron - Grilled Cowboy Ribeye - Seafood Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

We had dinner here last night and I can honestly say that this was one of my top five favorite meals! I got the surf and turf filet mignon, and the steak was the best restaurant steak I've ever had in my life. I like my steak well done. When you order steak that way, if often times comes out burnt. I do t mind, I've gotten used to it. But my well done steak at Salt and Iron came perfectly well done, but still tender and amazingly tasty! I think it may also have something to do with the fact that our server suggested I get it butterflied so that it cooked more evenly, and I have to say, that was a genius suggestion. I know I said I got the surf and turf, but let me also say, I do t really like seafood that much at all. But I figured, it's a steak and seafood place, I should try the seafood. Wow! The shrimp were so yummy! I was sad when I finished them. I've never been sad to not have more shrimp in my whole life. That was a first! Seriously, so good. I also ate every green bean and scrap of whipped potato. I would've licked the plate if there wouldn't have been strangers around. :) Our cocktails, drinks and dessert were also top notch. Last, but certainly not least, our server, Ryder, made sure we were well taken care of, and anticipated all of our needs right on time! He kept the drinks coming (and also made that awesome steak suggestion), and was always really friendly and super nice. He was definitely a big component of what made the night so awesome, so, Ryder, if you ever read this, you're rad and thank you! That was our first kiddo-free date night in over a year, and I won't soon forget the meal, super cute outdoor seating, or service. Can't wait to visit again! read more

The last time I went to Salt and Iron was before the pandemic and I missed this place! Woke up late and made reservations on open table for brunch. I was sad the breakfast sandwich I loved was gone but got the steak Benedict (subbed gluten free bun in place of English muffin) and the bf got chilaquiles. We both also drink a bunch of tea and we're given a large pot of earl grey when we both ordered the same beverage. That was kind of perfect. The steak Benedict was delicious, the chilaquiles were good but not as flavorful or seasoned as well as the potatoes that came on my plate. Overall the food was good and the service was great. The patio out front was comfortable and there are space heaters available if needed. read more

Mixed feelings about this place. We came here on a weekday evening and it had a 2 hour wait....? It must be the only decent restaurant in the area. Parking was also kind hard to find. Instead of waiting, I went on OpenTable and booked a reservation for 15m later since it showed availability. A lot of restaurants often put a certain amount of tables aside for reservations vs walk ins. They sat us at a table that I don't think was originally supposed to have people at it? They seated us about 5-10m after the reservation had started. Our table didn't have menus on it but it had chips. After 5 minutes of sitting there we grabbed menus off of the table behind us. The waitress finally came by (at which point we were ready to order) and didn't even mention the menu situation. She wasn't especially friendly or apologetic for ignoring us. The restaurant just seemed understaffed, it was really hard to ask for things and get attention. I ordered the burger, medium and lettuce wrapped. My mother got hers medium well. My burger looked almost rare and the meat was a little mushy since it was so undercooked. I had given up trying to get attention from someone so I ate it anyway. Besides that, the food was actually decent and is the only thing saving this from a 1 star rating. The food was incredibly overpriced, though, $17 for a hamburger in Edmonds? I can find better, cheaper food in the city.... read more

I love this place, as do a lot of locals, several of whom I have already met by sitting at the bar. One downside of this place is they have almost nothing but 4-tops and as I just moved to the area, it's typically just me and I don't want to waste that much space in a crowded restaurant. Otherwise the food is fantastic, the people are great, the ambience is perfect (at least here in the summer, it is), and there's a reason it's fully booked by 6pm every single night (ughhh!!). Love it! read more

A nice location in downtown Edmonds, upscale and modern feel. They have a pretty good happy hour for oysters and appetizers. The oysters are a great starter for appetizers I usually order the Kumomoto or Pacific oysters. They also give you fresh fried chips with sauce. I have gotten the beef sliders which you can share between 2 people. If you have more you might want to order another app because it isn't easy to share. The wings were alright, they could have more flavor. Also I have gotten the oyster po'boy w/ nori fries for lunch and it came with this tasty garlic aioli sauce. You can tell that the chowder is made from scratch, I only wish I got more clams in it. read more
