If you are looking for a fine dining experience, Salt is such a wonderful surprise. Service, drinks and food are amazing. We were looking for a bar food alternative and were not disappointed! read more

We ate here about a week ago while we were in port on a cruise. The food we had was excellent and our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. If I lived in Alaska I'd be a regular! read more

Decent ambiance Wait staff was somewhat attentive Appetizers were ok not great . The Brussels were horrible though. Entrees were good but way overpriced read more

This is secretly the best restaurant in town; the rating here doesn't do it justice. I feel there is fierce competition for ratings in this tourist town and found some other restaurants are suspiciously highly rated that shouldn't be. We had a pear salad and cheese fondue as appetizers, followed by ribeye steak and roasted bone marrow. This was all wonderfully executed, the cheese fondue practically to die for. I would have liked to have another dinner here, perhaps try the duck a l'orange, but had planned on trying other places as well. Atmosphere is upscale with candlelight and service was excellent. So was the custom made Manhattan with local whiskey. Highly recommended. read more

Salt has a beautiful decor. Friendly host & servers. The table setting with flowers, dim lighting makes the restaurant ideal for couples & celebrations. My dinner party was originally for 4 then last minute became 5 and we were accommodated with a smile! The food came out quickly with aromas that were delightful. The taste was delicious. Portion sizes were good & cocktails were made well! I recommend Salt! read more

Like thousands of visitors, we spent a day and a night in Juneau to start our UnCruise trip and after our return from it. Juneau is the small town capitol of Alaska and the businesses are heavily tourist-oriented. There are up to five of those giant cruise ships docked there each day. Salt is one of the better restaurants. It has a classy atmosphere, it is softly lighted, has a good bar and friendly wait staff. Their menu is a good one. Bear in mind that EVERYTHING in Alaska is expensive, so just adjust your pricing knowledge accordingly. We reserved a dinner reservation on their web site. Ahhhhhhh! When we arrived, the hostess had no record for us. She told us that one needs to call, or come in-person to make reservations. DO NOT RESERVE THROUGH THE WEB. YOU WILL NOT HAVE A RESERVATION IF YOU DO IT THROUGH THEIR WEB PAGE. Well, we did get a seat upstairs. Our server, Estrella, was very nice and because we had a number of questions about menu items, she was out of her depth and had to go back and forth to the bar and kitchen to answer our questions. She did not know the wines, which put her at a disadvantage, but eventually we got it figured out. We ordered glasses at $22 each. But...we also ordered our meals, so no sooner did we get our wines, but there came our entrees. The bar is really slow...not her fault. The kitchen is excellent. They know what they are doing so our orders of Black Cod ($52) and Tortellini Reggiano ($32) were super good. They have a decent menu, which includes special drinks and desserts. One step at a time. Recommend that if you go to Salt, call for your reservation, order only your beverages before anything else, then order appetizers, then order your mains/entrees, and finally your desserts and post-dinner drinks. One step at a time. read more

Upon walking in, the hostess wasn't there for a while but when she did come back she was accommodating as we ended up with one more person than our reservation was for and she brought over an extra chair. The decor, menu and overall vibe gives the impression of very expensive. I also was told that it was very expensive however, there were 5 of us and 4 of us had alcoholic beverages, 4 ordered an appetizer, we all enjoyed our meals (2 had the halibut special, one had the sabil fish, one had the pork chop and I had the Tortellini) and 2 had dessert. Our bill was just under $500. I would go back. read more

Love with the new breakfast at Salt! They've brought their signature chill vibe and 'best-in-town' customer service to the morning hours (6 AM-10 AM). The French Toast is amazingly fluffy with a unique crunch, and the omelets are just as delicious. Free coffee with your meal is the perfect touch! It's easily the most unique breakfast menu downtown. If you're coming early, parking is easy right nearby before the meters start at 8 AM. Would recommend for breakfast or dinner! read more

I thought Salt was great. Confused by the bad reviews. Had a great 60th birthday dinner for my dad. All the dishes were creative and tasted very good. Server was well informed and had A+ recommendations. Atmosphere was luxurious. Scallops, halibut, appetizers, dessert all top notch. Would come back anytime I was in Juneau. read more

Service is always excellent, but the menus are now way more limited and still uninventive and boring. All the fun cocktails are gone and what are left aren't yummy. The menu has NO descriptions and you don't get much information by asking. Beware that when they use singular, they really do mean ONE (even if it is cut into small pieces). Everything is insanely priced even for a swanky joint. Portions are miniscule and you can't get by on presentation only. Appetizers are not for sharing, even at $$$$$$. Desserts use low-quality chocolate (tasted like Hershey's). No special occasion celebrations offered. They really need to step up their quality to come close to justifying their prices. No wonder the place is empty. Limited street parking only. read more

We went this summer and sent my brother there with his wife when they went through. She said it the best when she said the black cod was the second best meal of her lifetime. We would absolutely fly back to Juneau just to eat there again. read more

Had a fabulous meal last night at Salt. They were busy so we took a table in the bar and Erica took great care of us all evening. The food was fabulous! I had the spotted prawns and my hubby had the King Salmon special. Both were delicious! We also had cocktails which were delicious, mine was a unique pear concoction. Capped off the meal with pistachio cheesecake with blueberry compote. Again - delicious! Loved the atmosphere and all staff was friendly. Not a cheap meal, but if you have the funds, it's definitely worth it! It was a special treat after eating lots of bar type food on our trip. Highly recommend Salt for a wonderful upscale meal in Juneau! read more

Train your staff to know more about the menu and please make sure your seafood is fresh enough be safe

Perhaps I an jaded coming from NYC and then San Francisco but Salt did not live up to my expectations. At $60 and entree I want to be blown away. My halibut was tasty but my husband did not enjoy his planked salmon. I got more satisfaction from the halibut taco I had at a local bar with a delicious glass of stout. Not someplace I would go back to. Wished I had listened to other reviews. read more

Horrible for celiacs and anyone who cannot eat wheat or has other dietary needs, such as shrimp allergy. The menu has no information, for example steak just says steak. The menu doesn't describe what else comes with the main dish, so you cannot figure out what might be gluten free. The waitress had no idea and there is no gluten free menu. The waitress literally recommended bread and pasta even after I told her twice I could not eat wheat. When she brought my plate out, my halibut was on a bed of pasta not rice, as promised. When I said I cannot eat pasta, she said, it's ok because it's egg noodles! Huh?! The waitress was clueless and could not be trusted. I finally got my halibut on rice. I ate it. But a few hours later I threw it all up. There must have been wheat or cross contamination in it. This restaurant does not serve celiac safe food and it cannot be trusted to do so. We also got the scallop appetizer and they were so overcooked they were like eating rubber. Three pieces of $28 rubber on some yellow goo. This restaurant tries to be fancy but they lack the basics including edible food. Don't eat here. read more

Great food! Great service! Best Vegetarian food I've had in a restaurant EVER!!! Go to this restaurant! read more

Salt - Entrance - New American Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

March 2023. Honestly I give this place 3 stars because it was so MEDIOCRE for how expensive it is. The crab bisque came with a red lobster biscuit right in the middle of it that you could buy and make yourself from Costco. (No authenticity). The calamari was so boring. Nothing wonderful and came with cocktail sauce that I could buy from Walmart. 0/10 on that. The crab bisque was extremely filling and a large portion, it was good but not spectacular. The filet was the best thing I had all night. However still mediocre. Basic baked potato. Best thing on the plate was the butternut squash. For a $60 dollar dish I expected more. Ps. I will note that I believe because it's the off season that they have the B team working the kitchen. I feel like during peak tourist season they bring in the A team Chefs and the food is probably better. This place was highly recommended by friends and I was expecting much more for the price I paid. Service on the other hand was great. Not one thing bad to say about the servers or bartender. Ambiance was nice as well. Quiet, romantic, and easy access. Just wish the food was better. read more

Very comfortable setting and staff extremely professional and polite. It is a lil high dollar but worth it when you're with your family and friends. Will definitely be going back as their food was "excellent!" read more

Sat at the bar alone and had really wonderful service! Drinks are amazing and the food is the best I found in Juneau. The French onion soup is a must have! This is probably the nicest place in Juneau too, a little more upscale but very cozy. A little pricey, but so is anything in AK- and it's worth it! Waitstaff is super friendly (just like everyone I met in Juneau!) read more

Salt - The only picture I snapped was of this gorgeous dirty martini! The bartender is wonderful - New American Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

Never had a bad experience at salt. I celebrated my 21st birthday here. I celebrated my one year anniversary here with my partner. I celebrated my 22nd birthday here. And I've been there a time or two just for fun. Every waitress I've ever ever had has been a super amazing. They've always given the best advice on what to get, been super honest about their menu. And always recommend great drink pairings with the food. The restaurant in general is just gorgeous, the ambience is so inviting and just stunning. Here are a list of my favorite things to eat at salt. Apps -- gnocchi -- steak tartar Soups and salads -- French onion soup -- Caesar salad Mains -- filet mignon -- lamb -- salt burger -- king salmon Desserts -- caramel apple brown butter cake -- and I don't know the name of it, but it's some type of like moose with cherries and alcohol infused berries that's delicious If you plan on coming to Juno or you want a special date night, I 100% recommend going to salt! You will not be disappointed with anything that you get. read more

Great food and great service. We had the filet mignon, halibut, lamb and ribeye. Everyone loved their meal. The pork belly Brussels are phenomenal! It's a little pricey but well worth it for the quality and service. read more

I just had dinner recently here and it was fabulous. Though their menu has gotten smaller, what they do serve is very good. I notice this in several restaurants since the COVID pandemic. I had the oysters rockefeller and lamb tenderloin. They were delicious. I plan to go back again in the future. read more

In September 2025 we visited 4 cities in Alaska. The SALT restaurant in Juneau was our favorite. We choose to eat vegetarian which can be a challenge in the fish capital! The cuisine, service, and quality far beyond our expectations or hope! Usually a vegetarian gets some ok broccoli and ??. We felt so affirmed as customers that were honored to be given a unique gastronomic experience! The cold whole tomato salad was so unique. The pasta was perfect fresh and succulent. Thank for a great visit. Jerrell read more

The food was good, but not as good as I expected for the price and atmosphere of the place. I appreciated that we got a nice bar seat even though we didn't have a reservation and it was a bit busy. read more

Salt - Roast Lamb, Filet Mignon - New American Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

This place is a gem in Juneau. Homemade linguine with clams was divine, very garlicky and completely comforting. Grilled sablefish was beautifully prepared and perfectly cooked. Quiet, warm ambiance and excellent service made this our best meal in Juneau, where there are plenty of great restaurants. read more

We had Valentine's dinner here (yes, I'm terribly delinquent in posting) and really enjoyed the food and service. Salt would definitely be on our list for future visits to Juneau, especially for a romantic evening out. read more

Salt - a vase of flowers and a book on a table - New American Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

Not sure why this place has such a low rating: we really enjoyed! Cool space, attentive service, HUGE portion sizes. It is pricey, but not bad value. They use backlit menus, which is brilliant for dark dining rooms! The Pear Gorgonzola Walnut salad was really good. Barely any dressing and none really needed. The grilled avocado was fascinating and Kate really liked it -- I don't love do fried flour chips, but the combo of feta (the "cotija" element) and avocado and pico with a little sweetness from agave... Great flavors. My prosciutto wrapped scallops were perfectly cooked and well balanced. Brian's lamb lollipops we're great, with a good sauce. The pork chop was delectable -- good char at the corners. The vegetable Wellington was so creative and chock full of roasted veggies, but just a little doughy. Both desserts were dynamite: a decadent and perfectly rich chocolate torte (plenty for 4 of us!) and Strawberry Romanoff Parfait, which actually complimented the torte (is just saucy strawberries and whipped cream). Sneaky fave of the meal: the olive bread and butter. I'm a sucker for olive bread :) read more

The food was fantastic, the service was really good and the ambience is good. It is pricey, that being it's one drawback.

Good food, but prices are crazy high. Good fish and steak, but not prime. If you want courses slowed down, say something.

This is the place for a romantic or special evening out in Juneau - I've asked the locals. Impressive culinary skills and presentation for a city of 30,000. Perfect ambience with dim lights and dark cozy colors. Bread plate was appetizing with kalamata olive bread. Prosciutto-wrapped scallops were delicious (more delicate than their bacon-wrapped cousins.) Butcher's cut (hangar steak) was delicious, tender, and nicely seasoned, and accompanied by perfect jalapeno mashed potatoes. The "frutti di marre" assorted seafood platter was delicious and fresh, colorful and tasty. read more

Ok so first, a little background. Salt was recommended to my Dad and I by a friend that lives in Juneau. We went to check it out although, unfortunately, the large plate menu wasn't available until 5pm. So, we decided to make a reservation for the following night and find a place to eat in town. Ha-ha-ha that turned out to be laughable as four cruise ships were docked. There were tourists everywhere and not only were all of the dining options packed but they truly seemed like tourist traps. We walked around the pier area for nearly an hour... When 5pm rolled around we found ourselves back at Salt for a great meal, after all. I ordered the salmon and halibut crab/fish croquettes for an appetizer while my Dad had the deviled egg appetizer. For my entree I feasted on the filet mignon. I thought the food was well presented and really cooked to perfection. We even treated ourselves with ordering a delectable dessert. From the time we were seated to leaving, we had a great experience. Our waitress was a treat - super friendly and attentive. The prices were a bit on the steep side but well worth it for the great food we had. I would definitely dine here again in addition to recommending it to others. read more

The food was good , the staff snooty at first. Easy to find. Nice atmosphere. I purposely ordered the duck as the described it withe a " blood-orange reduction sauce. There aren't any blood oranges in Alaska. I call bs on the description read more

Amazing! Hidden gem. We came here three nights in a row. Two nights for a drink and our third night for dinner. We had the goat cheese and fig as an appetizer. Stuffed tomato carpets salad and halibut for dinner. Scott the bartender is the BEST! read more

I was seriously surprised! The cost of food was not very expensive for what we ordered. I ordered Lamb Tenderloin, which was absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the Linguine and Clams (hell most likely post a review with photo). It was cozy and warm in the restaurant. Our server was very friendly and checked on us several times to make sure we were satisfied. read more

Strong 4! We started with the Cheese & Charcuterie plate, which was really nice. I had the Alaskan Halibut with the salsa verde puree and it was cooked perfectly. The puree made it! The Roasted Cauliflower was the best side. Again, travelling on business and entertaining. 2 out of the 4 of us got steaks. One got the Dry Aged Ribeye and the other got the Filet Mignon both said their's were really good. My coworker got a cold salad, Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Apples, it wasn't a hit with her, but for the most part it was very enjoyable. Everyone got their own wine, I got a Cabernet, the others got either a Rose or a Pinot Noir. It was a good time and the atmosphere here is very cool. read more

Everything was excellent! I can't understand why there aren't more 4 and 5 star reviews for this place? This was our first time in Juneau so I didn't really have any expectations about the food. But Salt definitely exceeded them! The food was delicious. The service was attentive. And the atmosphere is great. A good vibe and excitement without being too noisy. We had: Brie and champagne fondue Oysters -- excellent! Halibut -- best dish we had! Salmon -- amazing sauce cooked perfectly read more

This place is overrated. 1. Service was slow 2. Lamb chops arrived raw 3.gin and tonic had no lime 4. Drink was mixed up. 5. Charged 3%for cc use. Who has cash 6. Shrimp crab salad was quite bland. Had to ask for lemon. 7. Place was empty but they said we could only come at 7:30. All of Juneau is over priced and too crowded with cruise ships. Good place to get Covid. read more

While visiting my friend mentioned this place since it's supposed to be the "nice" dinning option in Juneau, first try we made an rsvp which we later cancelled since our plans changed then the last night we decided to stop By since when we called they said they had no rsvp we figured pop in & see if we got lucky.. well we were seated in the downstairs area while we were seated there were maybe 6-8 tables from which 1 maybe was sat down while we ate .. no idea why "they are full" & yet no one was at the restaurant. Drinks to start had some White wine not bad, beer & martini all decent. Appetizers no complimentary bread was served seems like this is a hit or miss option what I gathered from previous reviews. We had the Calamari it was decent but they give u just a few pieces kinda unreal because of the $18 dollar price tag I mean come on they should give u more. Main dishes I had the Steak w veggies & salad this was pretty good, decent sauce hubby had the Salmon decent but not worth the price tag. Also Tried the Pappardelle pasta w chicken , which my friend had ahh this was not good she was feeling quite bloated after , her hubby had the Pork chop was not bad. Nice place, I can see why it's supposed to be fine dinning but it's really more like ok food that is HIGHLY overpriced, the most expensive dinner we had while visiting Juneau & it was not the most memorable. read more
