Had filet mignon as part of a food tour. It was absolutely wonderful and had good service. You should eat there. It's worth noting I was not here during cruise ship season. read more

So disappointing. This restaurant was recommended to me so I made a reservation only to have it be cancelled at the last minute by the chef who decided to sell out to a group. Good luck when the tourists are gone read more

Came to eat one last fresh seafood meal before flying back to Texas. As our party of 8 started to order, we were told that they were out of halibut and king salmon. Really? That took out most of what we were ordering and a good percentage of their menu! So we had to rethink - so then asked for the king crab risotto. "Oh - I'm sorry - I forgot to tell you we're also out of risotto". We then waited a significant chunk of time for our salads, and the caesar didn't have any dressing. Then another long wait time for our dinners. At one point the waitress let us know that "the chef likes to put his hands on each and every plate so it takes a little while and your food will not come out at the same time so whenever yours comes you should eat and not wait for the others at your table." Then proceeded to be told it was taking so long because they were so crowded. Besides our table of 8, there were 6 other people in there. So - the food was pretty good, but not worth the price or bad service. read more

Only three tables taken during my visit, which includes mine. Ordered the excessively salty French onion soup. Not sure if that had something to do with the name of the joint. Ordered the King ended up being the Coho. Wanted the veggies vs the potatoes, and she wasn't sure that the chef could do that?! Ordered a pricy bourbon that never showed up. Received my food and it the veggies were cold and the salmon was barely warm on a cold plate. 3$ for the veggie/potato swap. Two types of music as well. One of them coming from the kitchen. I have a hard time giving it one star. Got my Salt intake. read more

We had not been to Salt in several months...life got in the way. But this past Saturday, we had our date night there and I have to tell you...IT WAS DELICIOUS! Salt has been sold to the chef that is the owner now and the food was 1000% better than the last time we were there. The cocktails, a French 75 and a Peartastic were spot on. We had calamari, a caesar's salad, the filet and the ribeye. The filet was so tender I did not need a steak knife...the au gratin potatoes it came with were tender and just yummy. The ribeye had a small wedge salad with it, and the steak was covered in mushrooms. Light sauces on both steaks were just perfect. We skipped dessert because we were so full, so can't comment on that. Kudos to the new owner (the chef!) and to the waitstaff, who were just on target all night. Lots of people dining and I would suggest a reservation. We failed to get one and almost weren't seated due to many people who had one, but they squeezed us in. We will be back...soon. GREAT JOB, SALT!!!! read more

Pretty descent beer selection for the area, especially for a day trip from Seattle. I wash impressed with the fish selection, was hoping for more being in Juneau. Perhaps I'll have better luck next time. read more

Salt just didn't feel like it today. We walked in at 4:26 and were turned away (in the most awkward way imaginable). We were inexplicably told to return at 5... After happy hour ends. Great. read more

Had a nice meal here - fresh seafood. The crab bisque was probably the best thing at our table, and the crab toasts were fabulous. Nice wine list. A good place for dinner and I would come back. read more

This was the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. Salt was recommended by the concierge at our hotel, and as a result, a number of fellow passengers on our small cruise ship tried it out. All, including the two friends who were with us, had the same unfavorable impression. The waitress brought the wrong appetizer to my husband, who decided not to wait for the correct one, which in retrospect was a good thing, because the pacing of the meal was agonizingly slow. The restaurant had run out of a number of entrees on the menu, which was surprising because it wasn't that late in the evening. While the restaurant was busy, it wasn't a madhouse, so I'm not sure why it was so difficult to process orders and deliver them at a normal pace. After finishing appetizers, we waited easily for one hour until the entrees arrived. My husband and I ordered the same dish, but the two didn't look similar, as mine had far more pasta than his. The waitress was indifferent, almost impossible to flag down, and we were mystified as to why it was taking so long for food to arrive. We were there so long that the restaurant had begun to empty. It took forever to get drink refills, and we requested bread with the meal, which didn't arrive until we were about half through eating. The food was okay, but not memorable. I'm a dessert lover, but I declined to order any because I was afraid it would be another hour before it showed up. This was our last night in Juneau, and it was a disappointing end to our trip. The combination of poor service with food that was unremarkable leaves me unable to recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Upscale Alaska style and Food was very well prepared. The scallops with the carbanara were perfect. The staff is kind and inviting. I will being coming back for sure next time I am in Juneau. read more

This place is off the chain good... Amazingly FRESH seafood. Had the cod w orzo broth - soooo good. Server was friendly and prompt. A really special place that truly deserves to succeed. In a town ruled by tourist traps this place sincerely steps up for a memorably delicious dinner read more

For being noted as one of the nicest, classiest restaurants in Juneau I was extremely disappointed. It took 2 hours to get our entrees (mushroom and truffle pasta), which didn't include one of the main ingredients...mushrooms. I would recommend of the local dive restaurants over this one. Atmosphere was nice at least. read more

Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The salad was fresh and tasty, the rockfish chowder not so much. I'd definitely go back and recommend it to others. Kinda fancy- not a burger joint type of place. It's a dress up type place. read more

Salt hosted our rehearsal dinner for our recent wedding and it was perfect. The food was delicious and the staff was so attentive in helping to develop the menu. The atmosphere is lovely. The service was very good, even considering that we had an extremely large party. Best of all, though, was the cocktails. Try the cocktail that has bourbon and balsamic vinegar in it; it sounds weird but it was insanely yummy. read more

Dissapointing. Doughy calamari, salmon ceviche that was light on the salmon, slimy edges on the salad. To be fair, the halibut and vegetable Wellington were very good. And the atmosphere and staff are nice. But overall, too many disappointments for a $100 (with tip) meal for 2 people. read more

Good food and pretty good service. We ate two meals here during our 5 days in Juneau and enjoyed both of them. Each dish we had was spectacular. read more

Ate dinner in May, the start of the cruise season, after our own cruise. Friendly staff and great local seafood. We had King Salmon (in season) and their King Crab Bisque. Both top notch. Prices were appropriate for Juneau. read more

I was in Juneau for a phot shoot for one of the cruise lines that port there. it was a long day, my crew was hungry. there it was, this beacon shimming in the distance - Salt! We were quick to get seated, the waiter helped guide us through the menu, and was honest about the dishes we asked about. ( my big pet peeve is when servers give you lip service on the menu "everything is delicious!" - Really?) we were a large group, im almost certain between the crowd we had at least one of everything off the menu. I can only speak to what I ordered.. The Mexican corn was delightful, the beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection, it was a LARGE portion too, I was impressed considering the price, of course one of the boys helped me finish it. we had a tartar appetizer and a wonton appetizer, with were really nice. If I find myself in Juneau again, I would definitely eat here again! read more

Attentive staff but meal took rather a long time. Although the food was fabulous. Casual yet upscale decor. Very nice.

Man, what an update! After the remodel, this is a new restaurant! My wife and I came here on a date night and left nothing but impressed. She ordered the quinoa and beet salad and the salmon. I got the spinach and pomegranate salad and the homemade pasta. Her salad had a bit too much quinoa and not enough beets, while the raspberry vinaigrette on my salad was perfect (not sweet at all, but great berry flavor). Her salmon was cooked to a perfect medium, which was nice to see. My pasta was slightly over cooked, but not to the point of ruining the dish, which otherwise was incredible. Desert was a key lime custard with a beautiful tartness to it and a great balance with some mangos over the top. We plan on going back soon. read more

Great the first night. We went back again the next night and they tried to pass off rockfish as halibut..wtf? Everything else was great, get the fritter fries. read more

The bisque was great and the calamari was perfectly done. Unfortunately, the cider was pretty flat and tasted not fresh at all. I'm not picky about cider. But avoid this one. Also, bread should come with butter or dipping sauce or something. Decent service, though. read more

I ordered the ribeye medium it was rare, it was 2 different halves of stake, looks fancy pricing is fancy food is marginal at best, i think i would be happier with a meal from mcdonalds! read more

Ate here the other night. Ordered appetizers, the duck confit. After talking to Kris we added the fries to it. We didn't regret it. It was beyond delicious! I've had people tell me their portions are small, and that's not the case at all. The food is amazing, and the service is just as good. Friendly staff who know what they're talking about! read more

I give it a 2 because it was edible. Way overpriced food and drink for what you get. The halibut was over cooked! Way to much quinoa with the steak and super bland. Service was very slow. Maybe I have been away from Juneau too long but at these prices I expect so much better. If you are going to do high priced in Alaska you should know how to cook seafood and flavor your dishes. Will be telling all my local friends to stay away!!!!!!!!!! read more

I have lived and worked in Juneau almost all my life, so I consider myself a local. I am trying to support the local businesses, in particular restaurants, during the pandemic, as I am a small business owner myself. When I heard an advertisement on the radio for a special Valentine's Day dinner at the Salt restaurant, I thought a nice dinner out with my wife would be a welcome treat for us as well as helping support a local eatery. Our reservations were for 6:00pm; we showed up at 6:05pm, and were quickly seated. The first thing I noticed was that all the tables were taken, and there was no social distancing (we were only a couple feet away from the table next to us). The next thing I noticed was that the background music was LOUD, and that along with the background noise from a restaurant full of people talking made it next to impossible to carry on a conversation with my wife seated across our small table. We tried unsuccessfully to talk on a few occasions, but had to revert to sitting silently while waiting for our food. The Valentine's dinner was a four course meal, and the choices looked delicious. We ordered our meals, and waited patiently for the first course, appetizers. The two large prawns that came with my appetizer were really tough, and almost could not be cut with my butter knife. My wife's mushroom appetizer looked good, but I did not find out how it was, as it was difficult to talk with the music blaring and the background noise from the conversations around us. The waiter picked up our plates, and we waited a LONG time (30 minutes?) for our next course. The second course for me was a lamb tenderloin salad. The lamb was good; the greens and tomatoes nothing special. My wife got Tracy's Crab Shack King Crab Bisque, which she said was good. The waiter picked up our plates, and we again waited FOREVER for our entrees. My wife was getting a migraine headache from the loud background noise and the incredibly slow service, so we gave up at 7:30pm and asked for the rest of our meal to go. She had to leave at 7:45pm because she couldn't take it any longer, and when I FINALLY got the rest of our meal at 7:55pm I left as well. I rushed my wife home (fortunately we live downtown), and as soon as we got there she had to run to the bathroom and throw up because of her splitting migraine headache. Then she took a couple of aspirin and lay down in our dark bedroom to rest and recover. I had ordered the Surf and Turf for my entree; when I opened up my to go container I found an 8 ounce(?) steak, TWO sea scallops, some baby potatoes, and some beans and greens. I ate the scallops, which were good, the beans, greens, and some of the potatoes. My wife's entree was the lobster thermidor, which she has not tried yet. I had ordered the creme brulee for dessert; It looked and tasted more like chocolate pudding with some whipped cream and sliced bananas. Our bill was $126.00, which I paid, but did NOT leave a tip (are your kidding?). To summarize, if you want to pay for overpriced food with glacial service (two hours to be served your entree?), you can eat at Salt, but we will NOT be going back. The next time we want a nice, reasonably priced meal with good service we are going to go to the Hanger Restaurant at Merchant's Wharf. It's also got a great view looking down Gastineau Channel on a nice day. read more

Way over priced food and drinks. For what we paid I just expected more.

One of the better restaurants in Juneau. The food is decent and the atmosphere's great. Our waitress was polite and efficient.

Great food! Don't miss the crab bisque or the salmon. We we lucky enough to have fresh ling cod with sweet potatoe purée. We were lucky to walk in and be seated, but highly recommend making a reservation. Super staff! Nice by-the-glass wine list. read more

The decor is amazing how ever it is just the decor you are paying for. The food is not modern it was classical French with a juneau twist. I had the salt burger with salad and it was so greasy I had to eat it with a knife and fork. The salad I just passed on. The best part of the night was the server and the truffle fries. read more

Had dinner at Salt last evening. I should say almost had dinner. Arrived at 6:30. Was greeted by friendly staff and waitress. Ordered dinner at 6:45 and at 7:45 we had not received our dinner. I did notice that locals that were seated after us did have their dinners on a timely fashion. Once we received our food, an hour later after inquiring where our dinner was, it came LUKEWARM and shells of crab found in the $48 pasta dish. It obviously had been sitting in the kitchen. This is NOT a place for tourists as we found out. STAY AWAY. read more

From the scallop appetizer to the duck comfit, steaks, king crab, raspberry desserts and outstanding service, our meal was perfection. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet comfortable and Chef Lionel gives each table special attention. Juneau has truly seen a culinary boom and SALT is at the center. read more

Literally the best food I have eaten while in Juneau. Started out with a French 75 which was spectacular. Put me on a perfect level to fully enjoy my food. I ordered the Filet Mignon with a side of gnocchi. It came out a little late, but the chef complimented us with a wonderful seafood bisque that tickled my taste buds. Once my meal arrived, it was like heaven in the form of a steak. Perfectly cooked, juicy and savory. For dessert, I had the blueberry donuts and the creme brûlée. Both were a fantastic way to conclude a lovely meal. If you want quality food and good service, visit Salt ASAP read more

Had a great dinner at Salt last night. Got to meet one of the chefs, who took very good care of our table. They even rolled out a custom dessert for us to try. I'll definitely be back. read more

Salt - Our custom dessert! - New American Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

Underwhelming food. Terrible service. We were a party of six who love food and had high hopes for this place so ordered almost everything on the menu. The beet salad and crab bisque were very good. The French onion soup was way over salted. The king crab risotto was nothing special. Halibut and Soba Noodle dish was cold. The (way over salted) noodles were chilled, so I am assuming they were supposed to be and then a sad piece of unseasoned lukewarm halibut (that I'm struggling to believe was really halibut) is placed on top. The best part of this dish were the scallops that my friend ordered. They were mistakenly placed in a circle around this "halibut" plate. When her dinner didn't show up, and we alerted our server, she said "oh! They put your scallops on her plate." Then reaching for the plate she had already served to me said "I'll just take this to the back and have them scrape those onto another plate for you" Haha. You can't make that up. She did just that and returned with a small plate with several scallops plopped into a pile and presented that to my friend. We just rolled with it because we had been waiting 90mins for our entrees already. The wine list is great and we ordered a couple of bottles that I poured out to our table as glasses got low due to the completely uninterested server we had for the night. read more

Had dinner there with 8 people last night and the three of us that ordered the filet had to send it back because it was not cooked correctly. I ordered mine medium and had to send it back THREE times. When I got it back the third time, my filet had been cut into 5 pieces- a clear message that the chef was inexperienced and frustrated. Would not go back. And I felt it was overpriced. No staff came and apologized, either. On a good note, the small plate Brussels sprouts were fantastic. read more

My sister and I wanted to end our amazing time in Juneau by going to a nice restaurant on our last day here. We looked at Salt's menu and it looked amazing. Unfortunately the dinner was anything but that. The Wild Oven bread came out half warm and half refrigerator cold. So much for fresh bread. More frustrating was that the server didn't hear my sister order the crab special after she had asked her a ton of questions about it. My dish came out and many,many minutes later I finally ask the server why they didn't serve our dishes together and she said that was because my sister didn't order anything. Are you kidding me? My sister specifically said "I'll order the special". So we had to wait 15 minutes for her dish to come out and my dish got cold. When the crab special finally came, the crab was fresh but tasteless (no hint of the 4 ingredients that supposedly was in the sauce) and the noodles paired with the crab tasted like nothing but salt. I guess that's the main ingredient in a restaurant called Salt. Unfortunately this place had so much potential but in the end is not worth a grain of salt (in terms of service OR taste)! read more

My wife and I decided to go to SALT last minute on our anniversary night due to a recommendation from a friend. Best. Choice. Ever. It was a Friday night and it was busy but no crowded, we got placed in a perfect little 2 sweater away from the huddle and bustle of it all. Our server was fantastic, she explained all the ingredients on our appetizer the duck confit platter and some of things I thought just decorated the dish were actually edible (probably a no duh to some people). We got a bottle of wine which was a great recommendation from the server. The scotch and whiskey are also top notch. I ordered the ribeye steak rare and my wife got the oxtail pasta. We both had such a great anniversary at SALT and spent over 2 hours there from the beginning to end and the food came out perfectly apart to where we settled our stomachs and got to eat all of our food. Great place. read more

A wonderful surprise in Juneau. Six of us ate dinner there prior to departure. Helpful staff, including recommendation of a locally distilled gin, and high quality food. The prices were reasonable for Alaska, where you can't expect cheap especially during cruise season. read more

Absolutely the best meal we've had in juneau! We walked away from the standard favorites, tracys crab shack and the harbor, unimpressed. But this place really knows how to cook its fish. We had the king salmon dish and it was wonderful. It wasn't overcooked and the pan broth it laid upon was a subtle treat in of itself. I was also very happy with the vegetable Wellington but my partner wasn't so much. The highlight for us was the creme Brule. It was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The creme brulle impressed us so much we went back just for that the next day! read more
