Incredible food, delightful ambiance, delicious drinks. There is nothing that isn't amazing, except that you really need reservations if you want to go during cruise ship or legislative seasons. House made pastas with local seafood are always to-die-for! read more

Super amazing drinks, the deliciously rich food comes in large portions, the drinks are exceptional and bartenders are nice! We stopped there three times just for drinks! read more

Went for my birthday day, nice ambience, servers are nice. Our drinks were good, French 75 could have used more pizazz. Got the ginger salmon for our main and it had good flavor and presentation was on point. The gorgonzola salad was average, they did bring us some yummy local olive bread that was delicious. We were excited about the pistachio creme Brulee but it was a just a creme brulee with a sprinkle of pistachio. Great creme brulee but not what we expected. Overall good dinner but maybe a bit over priced for what you get? read more

I'm not sure at what point Salt started going down the drain, but it has. I got the bone-in ribeye with the "baby wedge salad". It is exactly as it is described: a quarter wedge of lettuce with some ranch dressing on top and sprinkled with what must be chopped tomatoes and onions. To say that it was incredibly underwhelming doesn't even begin to describe what I felt when the "salad" was put in front of me. It was all I could think of the entire time. The dressing was nothing special either. I've had plenty iterations of Salt's ribeye and could say that it has had many amazing sides before. It is a shame because the steak was cooked amazingly but this side was nothing short of lazy. The rest of our order comprised of the truffle fries which was pretty great, the Wild Alaskan Ginger Salmon that was a little undercooked, and for dessert we had the parfait and the crème brûlée. Both of the desserts were okay. As for the service, it was good but nothing spectacular. I could tell our server was struggling with the heat, as so did we. It would've been nice to have some fans going or some AC. Would I come back? Probably. I just wish the food was a little bit more amazing for what it's priced. Bring the old Salt back! read more

I travel to Juneau occasionally, never had a problem getting into Salt when I do. I came j tonight around 6:40ish it was not super busy. But for a party of one I was told I could wait to see if a spot at the bar opened up but that's all the 'Host' who I waited for 5-6 mins to show up to her station. Could do for me, there was a few open tables but I'll give the benefit of the doubt because they could've had reservations but after waiting 10 mins I left because I felt maybe since this time I wasn't in my usual suit and tie git up. Maybe my next trip I'll give them another chance but tonight I was turned off. read more

very expensive and had high expectations better off eating at the hanger on the warf lol same food quality read more

The service was good; Meaghan did a very nice job! We were underwhelmed and somewhat disappointed in the taste of our entrees; the presentation and portion size was great, but the actual flavor was subpar. Pricing felt quite steep for quality of the dishes (only the entrees). I started with the French onion soup, and I adored that! No complaints there. For entrees, I had the Mediterranean pasta with the scallops, and the truffle flavor overpowered everything else in it for me; I really wanted it to be a more subtle flavor with maybe some citrus to highlight the scallops, but all I got was truffle. My dad got the Alaskan halibut, and it was good! Nothing to complain about, but nothing to go crazy over either. For dessert, we shared the chocolate torte, and that was classically decadent. My dad got a coffee, which was served in a French press--was a unique touch. Overall, nothing to be torn up about, but we weren't over-the-top thrilled. read more

Service and the restaurant itself A*. Drinks solid B. Food would be a D at best. Desserts are way too sweet and the food was horrifically overpriced for its Applebees quality. read more

Such an awesome place in Juneau! I love that Salt is high class and can be fancy, but also has a casual, friendly vibe. I was immediately impressed by the decor, but I was nervous that there were no other customers on a weekend night. Our server was amazing. She was perfectly attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our visit perfect. Salt has an extensive wine list and the server was knowledgeable and helped us find wines that we really loved. To top off the wonderful ambience and the mood, our entrees were delicious. I had the ribeye which was one of the best steaks I have ordered out. We also tried the fried brussel sprouts (AMAZING!) and the charcuterie of the day. We skipped on dessert although there were lots of tempting options. I highly recommend spending a night here for dinner and will definitely be back if we are in Juneau again. read more

Incredible ambience and highly-attentive waitstaff (without being too busy or interrupting) in downtown Juneau. Our Oyster Rockefeller was perfect - too often restaurants will just smother it in cheese sauce and heavy spices, but the preparation brought out the freshness of oysters and was the right balance of complex flavors. The halibut special was incredible, with the halibut perfectly cooked and surprising, complimentary spices that gave both a savory experience with a hint of sweet spice (cinnamon?). The wine pairings and mocktails (one of us doesn't drink) were perfect for the meal. Even our creme brûlée had a unique touch on an old classic and was spiced and cooked as I would expect out of 3-diamond Michelin restaurant. TL/DR the food was so delicious, and surprising in complex and complimentary flavors, that I should have been rolled out of the restaurant... And I'm pretty certain their attentive staff would have obliged with that request, too. read more

Superb! The food and ambiance were absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the champagne and brie fondue, followed by a Gorgonzola and brie salad. One of my friends ordered the lollipop lamb chops as an appetizer. read more

Oh my - so wonderful. The food was superb. Best part of the evening was the table-side preparation of the bananas foster by the Chef-Owner. He was delightful; explained every step in such a down home way "this crepe batter is like a light pancake batter...just like I make for my kids on Sunday." Highly recommended. read more

Come with money to spend and no expectations. Some of the food was good and some was bad. Sad when the french fries are crappy. Service was fine but couldn't answer questions about the dishes and contents. Convenient location. read more

I'm writing this review based on a tasting menu.  We enjoyed delicious Alaska halibut done perfectly and served with shallot and finely shaved spinach over a tomato purée.  It was accompanied by a very nice New Zealand Wither Hills sauvignon blanc from Marlborough.  The dinner menu looks very good, and wine list is small by well appointed. Interior is of a simple modern style.  The staff were quite pleasant.  I'd recommend Salt for a very nice dinner in Juneau. read more

Salt - Wine List - New American Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

Ate there twice. First night my daughter got the sable fish, it was great. I ordered the Halibut dish. While they did a good job with the halibut, not overcooking it, the sauce for the rice was not good at all. I thought maybe it was just my tastebuds but my daughter said the same thing. It was almost a vinegar taste to it, not palatable for us. But I figured just maybe not my thing. The second night we got the King Salmon and the Cauliflower steak. The cauliflower steak wasn't anything special but the salmon was really disappointing. Maybe it was just the piece itself as it was a very thin piece of salmon, the tail piece, so maybe it was just over cooked but it was also lukewarm when arrived at the table and the sauce cold so that didn't help. The sauce itself, a garlic saffron was very bland, I couldn't taste any garlic and the forbidden rice seemed a little over cooked. The cauliflower steak arrived hot so I am guessing it was lack of coordination with the cook for my colder dish. For dessert, the apple butter cake was absolutely excellent. The atmosphere is very nice, the service is great, very nice staff but the food could use some improving. At least I would not recommend ordering the salmon. read more

Hey! If in juneau and looking for something other than alaskan king crab enjoy some gourmet at Salt. The owner, ceo, cfo, chef does it all! The steak Diane was awesome and Chef made it table side. The staff was just as awesome and the drinks as well. And don't forget the Bananas foster! read more

Two things that I love at restaurants: 1) eating at the bar when I am alone; 2) when it's obvious that coworkers also like each other Salt had both last night. It's clear the Christian and Jay - along with the rest of the stuff who stopped in at the bar - really like each other. I enjoyed visiting with both of them and hearing how they came to Alaska. Hiring for chemistry must have a strong correlation to great restaurants. I made a meal out of two starters and a side: spicy Brussels sprouts (in attached photo) were among the best I have had; French onion soup; and beet and apply salad, with orange slices. This was a great experience, and I'm glad I followed the recommendation of the Silverbow Inn owner and stopped in here. read more

Salt - Spicy Brussels sprouts - New American Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

My favorite place to eat in town. Food is fresh and creative. Atmosphere and service are phenomenal!

My wife and I had Christmas Eve dinner there and we loved the food, ambiance and service. Not an inexpensive place but the quantity of food and timeliness of service was impressive. For a special occasion I'd recommend Salt and we will go back again. read more

We walked past this restaurant while wandering around Juneau when we struck up a conversation with a guy leaving the restaurant. He said he lived in Juneau and Salt was the best place according to locals. We came the next night, but the restaurant was pre-booked reservations only, so we found a small table next to the bar. Like most places these days it seemed understaffed but the staff there were working very hard. Jamie the bartender was very friendly, helpful, gracious, but not overbearing. He made terrific drinks and also took our food order, and ensured everything was to our liking. His drink recommendations were spot on as was his mixology. The avocado and Brussels sprout appetizers were very tasty but it got better from there. The salmon was possibly the best we had in Alaska. We weren't planning to get dessert but it was amazing! It was a great meal to end a great trip. read more

I went with a couple of good friends/coworkers and this was our first time eating here. We're locals but never been here. We shared the gnocchi, absolutely delicious. The potatoes were soft and the sauce was smooth and creamy. We also got bread to share and let me say, it was warm and fluffy. Not to mention the butter. The butter was built different as we like to say. A good different. I got the bourbon pork chop. It was delectable. And I'm picky of how my pork chops are. Lol. I've never had my pork chops with cranberry sauce and now it just might be my new favorite pairing. Then my friends and I ended it with the caramel apple brown butter cake with vanilla ice cream. Oooh, *chef's kiss*. Don't listen to everyone else. The prices are worth it. If you don't want to spend a lot, don't come here then. Simple as that. Also, our server, Kate M (got from the receipt and asked her name), was absolutely amazing. Owners, if you see this, she needs a recognition. She always refilled our water and checked in on us. Very rare in this town which I get but still. Anyways, I give this place a 20/10. Definitely going to be back. And if you're wondering if you should visit and you're looking at reviews first like I did before, then you know you should go. It will be worth it. But don't hold me onto this. To each it's own. :) (Posted this on Trip Advisor but just incase no one looks there.) read more

OMG, what did they serve me?!? From the time we sat down, till the meal showed up most everything was not done well. The wait staff took forever to show up... The bread was stale, the butter was hard... The steak was tough, the asparagus was over cooked... Getting help was impossible, why do I ever think this place will get better? If you sit at the bar, it's not bad. If you want a good restaurant experience, you will be left wanting. Maybe this place should just be a bar and give up trying to be a restaurant; let alone a high end place. read more

I haven't had a whole lot of dinners in Juneau, but I can easily say this has been my favorite. Truffle fries with duck confit? I'm already sold, and they were SO. DELICOUS. The oxtail pasta was fantastic and so rich, and the steak was perfectly done. Their beet salad may have been my favorite thing on the table, though - beautiful presentation, and the citrus next to the beets was a perfect combination. They have one of the better whiskey selections in town, and their wine list is pretty stellar. Tokaji on the menu was a pleasant surprise. I'll definitely be back. read more

Certainly one of the premier restaurants in Juneau, Alaska! Which may not sound impressive at first brunch, but this little city has a number of wonderful bars and restaurants. One of which includes a James Beard finalist award. Very good service as well. read more

The quality of service and food wavers, sometimes it's good, sometimes not, hence the lower rating. The atmosphere is still a nice spot to take a special guest, occasion. Coming here doesn't have to break the bank with selective prudent ordering. A tasty burger for USD 15, side of truffle oil fries USD 5. Okay so it's more than twice the price of a Subway sandwich from across the street. You get a wonderful atmosphere. read more

Super friendly & attentive staff, great bar & wine list, excellent food. The fillet mignon was phenomenal

We came as a group in town for business, in the off season. The restaurant was pretty quiet. Service was top notch, both from our server and the manager. We didn't skimp on our ordering of food and wine, so I'm sure that helped. We had a large variety of appetizers and they were all good. The crab bisque was pretty salty, though. For the mains we were largely split between the halibut and salmon filets. Unfortunately, all of the halibut came out way overcooked. The fish was completely hard and dry. We don't normally send food back but at $36 you need to get your fish right. They re-made it and it still wasn't spot on. Perhaps it was because it was a pretty thick piece that to cook the center they needed to overdo the outside, but I feel that this is something a top-dollar restaurant needs to figure out. I struggled between a 2 and 3 for this. The halibut definitely deservers just 2*, but the service and performance on apps brings it to 3. read more

Very disappointed in both food and service. I ordered the gem salad and while I don't need 8lbs of salad for an appetizer, I would expect a little more in a $12 salad. In fact, I had a $12 airport salad that was better than this. I ordered the salmon for dinner which still had the rubbery skin on it, it was a good cut of salmon, but come on guys. Long story short, way over priced, service was mediocre at best, especially when they mess up iced tea. I won't return. read more

Salt - Salmon with some sort of succotash. Notice the pepper which was "sneezed" on to the plate. - New American Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

I rarely write reviews. But, Im so beyond disappointed that I genuinely feel people (bad management/ownership) need to hear this. 1) We waited about 25 mins before our server greeted us. (The hostess graciously came & gave us water) 2) Our steaks took an additional hour to come out. When they did they were medium rare (with a cold center) and we both ordered medium. 3) At no point did a manager come over. We were offered free dessert, but that is no comparison to not having our (41.00 a piece) entrees. 4) The apps/salads/drinks we did have (and paid for) were sub-par. 5) We left hungry. I've worked in the hospitality business for years & feel strongly that this is understood from our experienced: You can make up for any bad experience if you want to. Obviously, you didn't want to. read more

If you're looking for a delicious meal in Juneau that serves yummy cocktails and has a good wine menu then Salt is the place to go. We had such a nice time and the service was outstanding. They're busy because they're so great so plan ahead and make a reservation. We were recommended by Keli's Concierge & Tours and they got us right in and we had the perfect table. Ordered cocktails, a nice bottle of red, the fish and steak were delicious, the appetizers were great, and they have local oysters that were so good! Must visit Salt while you're in town. We highly recommend. read more

Salt - A great time with friends! This was over delicious dessert. Cheers! - New American Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

Our final dinner in Juneau was four thumbs up. Everything was perfect at Salt--ambiance, service, and most important is quality of food. We have a small green salad, spicy Brussel sprouts, a burger and salmon risotto. Brussel sprouts was exceptional--spicy (but not overly), not too greasy, and super crisp. A simple green salad was perfectly seasoned and garnished. The burger was perfectly cooked and the fries were to die for. Salmon was the least exciting. It was less overcooked compared to other restaurants in Alaska, but still on the side of dry. Risotto was nice, but not overly exciting. The berry dessert was delicious. I wish we tasted the chocolate cake, but they were out of it. Overall we loved Salt and highly recommend to anyone who likes good uncomplicated food. read more

Lana handled the planning of the event from beginning to end. She executed the night efficiently and in the most friendly way.

Excellent option in this quaint little town. Five star dining for sure. Our waiter was a bit flighty but aside from that everything was spot on. The fresh salmon was to die for. The champagne cake was life changing. I would go back in a second. read more

Our group was not plagued with the service issues other reviews have mentioned, but the food was less impressive than I wanted it to be for the money. I went to Salt with a group of 7, and we were promptly seated (on a reservation) and served. They were quick to refill water, which I appreciate. The complimentary bread was a nice sourdough. Our food was mixed as to when it came out, with several of our group merely ordering salads and apps for their meal. I ordered the ribeye with the filet sides, since they were out of filet that day. I was ok. I expect a ribeye to be well marbled, and it was, but for some reason they had sliced the steak in half before it was served, and it obviously hadn't rested long enough before it was served. I ordered medium rare and got a steak that was well at the ends and rare in the middle. It almost seemed like they sliced it to check the temp (and didn't even get that right). I think the biggest issue that I had was the presentation. The oblong plate was covered in the sides, and the steak was placed on top of them. This made it REALLY hard to eat - I had to pick the sides out from under the steak to make room on the plate to actually be able to cut the steak. It was a huge steak, but it was inconsistently cooked, the sides were so buried it was hard to eat, and the sides themselves were not hot. My mom ordered the ribs (a special to replace the filet), and she also complained that her meal was not hot. Overall, mediocre, over-priced meal. It would not be my first choice to go back to next time I'm in Juneau. read more
