Amazing food great ambience attentive service the bone in pork chop was delicious as was the dessert great chef

This was a great meal. From the food, service, and ambiance, I am glad we went. The service was probably the best part, very tentative, friendly, made recommendations for not only our dinner but while we were in town. We both ordered meat, because it's what's for dinner! The pork chop and the New York specifically. With the blistered beans and wood stone potatoes. All seasoned very well and delicious. For startes, we ended up ordering the Pork Rulette, which was excellent. They even brought us more bread to enjoy it with. I think the biggest downside is the price, but we were finding everything in Walla Walla to be expensive. When in wine country, pay wine prices. I'd have preferred beer prices. Ensure you make reservations, the person that recommended the place mentioned it and we would agree. While it was almost empty when we arrive, it was full by the time we left with a wait. read more

We had the best time at Salted Mill last night! Service with Natasha was awesome - I secretly want to me friends with her. She took care of party of 6 that ranged in ages from 44-86 with lots of laughter and fun. Every single thing we had was phenomenal - from the cocktails to starters to entrees and dessert, I was a fan of every bite. Starters: Salted Fries: perfectly crispy and seasoned with the best homemade fry sauce Ahi Wontons: great fish quality, crispy wontons and awesome sauce Mains: Three of us ordered the rotating steak and with three different cooking preferences, they nailed all three. Two of us got the Gochujang Glazed Tofu and it was delicious. The two sauces that came with could be added to make it to your liking. Our friend is vegan and they were able to customize it with no issue. Ahi Tuna: perfectly seared and delicious. Desserts: Zucchini Cake was a healthy portion and well-balanced. The star of dessert was the salted butterscotch ice cream. In a collab with Pine Cone Creamery, I couldn't stop eating it. The restaurant is gorgeous, still preserving some of the old pieces of it while modernizing it. Eating in the wine barrels or the private spaces looked special as well. What a treat, can't wait to come back when we are in town again! read more

Drove from Bend Oregon to Walla Walla Monday for work. My grandparents were from Pasco and my grandma went to Whitman and was on the board there forever so I used to come here with her sometimes. Hadnt been back in about 20 years. Walla Walla got bigger. So did I. Good to see everyone doing well. Checked into hotel. Had business Tuesday. It was Monday. Needed food. Salted Mill. Sat at bar. Ordered non alcoholic beer. Tasted like beer. No alcohol. Basically they removed the consequences. Could be big. First night at a bar I always order cheeseburger. Cheeseburger test. You can learn a lot about a restaurant from a cheeseburger. For example if the cheeseburger is good they probably make a good cheeseburger. Ordered Drive-In Burger exactly how they make it. Never modify the test. Half pound beef. American cheese. grilled onions. pickles. Mill Sauce. sourdough. fries. $22. There are cheaper ways to get beef but I was already there. Burger took awhile. Started looking around. They have these enormous wine barrels that have been hollowed out and they put a table inside. People go inside the barrel and eat. Didnt understand. There were regular tables nearby where you can see the rest of the room. Barrel people chose barrel. Kept watching them. They seemed happy. Maybe barrel is good. I dont know. I dont like ruling things out before I have all the facts. Drank more non alcoholic beer. Still sober. Product works. Might invest. Asked about burger. Burger coming. Good. Started talking to some people next to me. All bartenders. Asked where they bartend. Other restaurants. Apparently Walla Walla bartenders finish bartending and then go to another bar where a different bartender bartends for them. Then that bartender eventually goes somewhere else. Money basically stays in the bartender system. Very efficient economy. Asked what their group was called. Nothing. Couldnt believe it. They already had members. They had meetings. They had beverages. They had geographic concentration. No brand. Told them they need a name. They asked me for one. Had nothing. Classic consultant. Told them I would circle back. Burger arrived. Forgot about bartenders immediately. Insane burger. Crispy edges on meat. Very important. Sometimes the best part of something is the part where it almost burned. American cheese. Correct. People disrespect American cheese because it comes individually wrapped. I like knowing which cheese is mine. Grilled onions everywhere. Pickles extremely pickle. Mill Sauce got on both hands eventually. Burger was no longer really contained. Sourdough fought hard. Held together until almost the end. Respect. Fries were excellent. Ate every one. Found one underneath burger after I thought I was done. Huge night. Burger took awhile but I no longer cared. If something is bad and takes awhile thats waiting. If its good and takes awhile thats cooking. Cheeseburger test passed. Started talking to bartender group again. Asked about the barrel people. Nobody could give me a convincing reason to eat dinner inside a barrel. One guy might have tried. Didnt convince me. I am not anti barrel. Just dont know why I need to be inside one. Investigation remains open. Staff was awesome. Everybody knew everybody. One of those places where you walk in alone and 30 minutes later you're involved in a local bartender naming dispute. This is America. Paid bill. Walked back to hotel. Thought about grandma. She probably walked around some of these same streets when she was at Whitman. Different restaurants though probably. Hope she ate good. Tuesday night my work teammates were in town. Told them about burger. Built burger up pretty hard. We went to go get it. Closed. Wednesday tried again. Closed. Looked it up. Salted Mill is closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Very disciplined. Most restaurants try to sell food every night. Salted Mill willing to walk away from 28.5% of week. Power move. Scarcity creates demand. I wanted burger more. My coworkers never got one. Tough lesson but business trips aren't vacations. Thursday I left Walla Walla. Still no name for bartender group. Been thinking maybe Walla Walla Bar Association but apparently that name is already used by lawyers. Lawyers got there first. Typical. Could also call them The Pour Decisions. Too clever. They need something worse. Will continue working on it for free. Grandma helped Whitman for years. I helped 6 bartenders realize they need a name. Different generations serve the community differently. Great burger. Great people. Great fake beer. Barrel people appeared safe. If you are in Walla Walla on Tuesday or Wednesday I cannot recommend Salted Mill because you cannot go inside. Any other appropriate day highly recommend. 5 stars DM me if you have a name for the bartenders read more

Salted Mill - This is the door that leads to cheeseburgers but it is locked on Tuesdays and Wednesday for questionable business reasons. - New American Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

Salted Mill came recommended by many coworkers, but even with the recommendations, this restaurant exceeded all my expectations! This is such a gem in Walla Walla. The ambience is modern and clean, but the restaurant is in a large space, and the tables are nice and spread out, so you don't feel like you are on top of one another. All the staff was super friendly, and one neat thing about this place is it has an open kitchen, so you can watch them cook and prep. Even with the open kitchen, the restaurant is not super loud over overwhelming. The food was amazing! It had unique dishes and and staple dishes so there is something for everyone. The appetizers were my favorite. We tried both the ahi nachos and the savory panna cotta with some pita. Both are must tries, but if you have to choose only one, get the panna cotta. The sweetness of the berries and honey with the saltiness of the cheese and pistachios is perfection. For my main I had the New York steak which was cooked great. I was in the mood for steak, and while my steak was delicious I definitely want to go back and try more of the entrees. Then for dessert, we had their take on a sticky toffee pudding and it was the perfect way to end meal. Salted Mill is a must try in Walla Walla. read more

Came with a bunch of friends and we had a nice experience! I enjoyed the Phat King cocktail, essentially a duck fat washed old fashioned. The ahi wontons were fantastic, as was the fresh ceviche. The winning entree at the table was the Ahi Tuna, which was coriander crusted and came with soba noodles and cucumbers. Overall it's a beautiful space with good food. I will say some of the others in the group weren't huge fans of some of their items so some items may be hit or miss. Our waitress and the servers were great, splitting our salad and entree without needing to request. read more

Sat at the Chef's Table as we couldn't get the barrel experience but it was fun to watch the kitchen staff. Natalie was our server. Very friendly and bubbly - maybe a bit overly so but she was nice. Ordered the ahi won ton $18 for 3, ahi entree $39 And pork shops $37. For the price of $6 each, ahi won tons were overpriced. Pork cops were delicious as were the asparagus. The ahi was ok. It would have been better served with rice than potatoes. Ordered the honey cake $14. Bit of a disappointment- it was dry and underwhelming in taste and size. We mentioned that to Natalie and she comped the dessert. It's a nice venue with good food and nice staff. read more

Wow! Passing through Walla Walla for the evening. Saw this place on Yelp. Amazing!!! Service was outstanding, sat at the bar and Hayden was the bartender. She loves what she does cause the service was perfect. I had the New York steak and it was on point. The house Cab paired very nice with it.... To top it off Hayden recommended the salted caramel ice cream...it left me speechless! if I ever find my way back to Walla Walla, this is the spot! read more

The ambience at this establishment is beautiful. We were lucky enough to get a table that felt like we were inside of a wine barrel. I'm not sure if that's because of how far in advance we booked the reservation or the size of our party, but we were happy nonetheless. The menu is somewhat concise, leaving me with a few options I considered. I had the lavender coconut cocktail, which was delicious! I also ordered the tuna wontons, which were also great. The swordfish was a bit dry and it came with chorizo, which I was not too excited about, but overall it was OK. The servers were attentive, friendly and polite. The kitchen is open concept so you can see what they are up to. The price point is on the higher end scale. They have one numerous awards. read more

Great newish restaurant in Walla Walla. The atmosphere is open and the giant wine barrels are a fun add to the space. Food was absolutely delicious. My wife loved the gochujang tofu, and I got the steak frites and really enjoyed them. The cocktails were delicious and things felt festive and special. Service was friendly, maybe a little overly friendly (we didn't like having to shake hands) but was competent and quick. read more

Salted Mill - Steak frites - New American Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

After hearing rave reviews about this new restaurant, Salted Mill, and coming off a crazy week where I absolutely did not feel like cooking, I decided to hop online and see if I could grab a reservation. I was so excited when I found a 6:00 p.m. opening on a Saturday night! We arrived, and the place was popping. It's such a fun atmosphere--there's seating for everyone, and the vibe is "come as you are." Some people were dressed up, others casual, and everything in between. You truly feel comfortable no matter what you're wearing. The overall ambience was ultra chic. The hostesses were incredibly sweet. They searched and searched for my reservation, only for me to realize (to my dismay ) that I had booked it for Sunday instead of Saturday. Without missing a beat, they kindly said, "Give us just a moment," and came back offering us a high-top in the bar. We were more than happy to take it! They even thoughtfully asked if I wanted to cancel the next night's reservation--such a small detail, but it meant a lot. From there, the experience just kept getting better and better. Our server came over immediately, and the service was truly on point the entire evening. I was blown away by the drink options--especially the wine and cocktail list. Whatever your preference, they have you covered. I ordered the Cherry Drop, and my husband had the Daylight Savings--both were beautifully crafted and absolutely delicious. For dinner, my husband ordered the ensalada verde and added steak, and he has not stopped talking about how good it was. I went with the gochujang glazed tofu--wow. The presentation alone was stunning. The mushrooms were rich and flavorful, the rice was honestly some of the best I've had, and the tofu had just the perfect amount of heat. I was impressed by how inclusive the menu is--whether you're vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, or a full-on carnivore, there are so many wonderful options. They also offer a great selection of gluten-free choices, which is such a thoughtful touch. You can truly taste the quality in the ingredients and see the care in the preparation. When we finished dinner, we were brought a dessert menu, and I asked our server for recommendations. She suggested the mocha cake and the salted butterscotch ice cream--and mentioned that people often order both together. So of course... I did. And oh my heavens... this dessert. The mocha cake was perfectly balanced--not too sweet, with a light, delicate frosting where you could taste every layer of flavor. Paired with that rich, buttery ice cream... it was the perfect combination. Honestly, it reminded me of a family member of mine who used to make the most incredible cakes--it had that same homemade, heartfelt quality. To top it all off, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was actively moving throughout the restaurant making sure every guest felt taken care of. That kind of hands-on hospitality speaks volumes. The staff all worked so well together and you could tell they all loved their jobs. Hospitality: 10/10 Presentation: 10/10 Taste: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 We left feeling so grateful for such a wonderful dining experience. It's been a while since I've written a review, but this one couldn't wait. Highly, highly recommend. read more

On our recent trip to Walla Walla, we stopped in for a night cap and dessert at the Salted Mill. What a great choice, this place was still buzzing from a busy dinner, but we got in just before they closed at 9 PM. No pushback, welcome to us in, sat at the bar. We were only there for a nightcap and dessert, I chose the old-fashioned on the menu using Zachariah rye. We also had the chocolate mousse cake, I believe it was. Which was excellent! Our server was very friendly and engaging, never at any point trying to rush us or get us out the door by 9 PM. One of the things I've really liked about this restaurant is the owner, Jim, is there and engaging with customers and helping the staff and it looks like everybody working there really enjoys working with each other, as they are very friendly, and this shows with their service to the customers. So thank you jim (and team) for making it a great environment for your team, which makes it a great experience for your customers. read more

We loved the atmosphere of this repurposed space and would come back just to spend a little more time taking it in. Our service was on the slow side but accommodating and friendly. We had a number of dishes, but the burger was the big hit. It is possibly the best burger I've ever had. My wife loved her Korean tofu bowl. Check it out. read more

We tried the Salted Mill in May when we made a weekend trip to Walla Walla. We had made a reservation four weeks prior and had requested the ability to sit in the wine cask booth that they have. However, when we arrived, we were told that they did not have one available even though they had one that was empty. The owner, Jim, came over and talked to us, and we explained to him that we really wanted to sit in that booth, and that was part of the reason we had came in. He was gracious enough to allow us to move to that booth which really impressed us. After that, everything was great! Our server's name was Emily. She was fantastic. The food was fantastic. The Brie Panna Cotta appetizer is a must have - don't go there without trying this! The drinks were fantastic. We really enjoyed it and we would likely go back again in the future. I would recommend this place if you're in Walla Walla. You won't be disappointed. read more

I celebrated a birthday dinner here while in Walla Walla. The restaurant backs up to the Seven Hills Winery (also lovely), and the space is absolutely beautiful. The dining room is layed out so that in the center there are these huge, barrel-encased booths that give the room a ton of charm. We were seated close (but alas, not inside one). I'm not sure if there's a specific way to reserve one in advance, but they looked amazing! There was a little bit of a wait to be seated, but other than that service was prompt and friendly. I had some allergy concerns about a few of the items and the server was more than happy to double check with the kitchen to make sure I was safe. The food itself was incredible. I got their mac and cheese, which was so, so creamy and had a potato chip gratin that was next-level. Wonderful meal overall, and I would come back again! read more

My wife and I were in Walla Walla on our way back home to AZ and we were looking for a place to have dinner and a few drinks. I did a search of the area on yelp and found Salted Mill. It has a good rating, but I didn't read any reviews. I don't like to be influenced. My wife and I walked in without reservations and were told that there was a short wait for the table. There is a couch and seats in a lounge type waiting area we were seated while we waited. A waitress approached us and took out drink order and gave us menus. We ordered the French fries appetizer and a couple of drinks. They offer craft cocktails and a host of wine and beers. The wines that are featured are local wines with some from other areas of the world. Our seat was ready and the same waitress led us to our seats in the dining room. We made our food order and we ordered a bottle of wine. I ordered the new York steak and my wife had the "Rotating" steak (hanger was then choice tonight). The wine and food arrived at our table and it was absolutely amazing. Very tasty. The steaks came with asparagus and duck fat potatoes. All items were full of flavor. The portion size was satisfying. We were presented with the dessert menu and we had the brownie with peanut butter mousse and the sweet corn and basil ice cream. Yes, sweet corn and basil ice cream sounds nasty, but it was very good. The brownie and peanut butter mousse was accompanied by some berry sauce and two chocolate peanut butter candies. This dish was also tasty. The service in this restaurant is top notch. Every employee pays attention to you and makes sure your experience is excellent. After a month in the Seattle area, it was refreshing to go to a restaurant with excellent service and employees who go above and beyond to do a good job. This restaurant is a must visit if in Walla Walla. You won't be disappointed. The prices are reasonable, actually, a steal since you get top notch service like you would in a famous restaurant, probably better. read more

We walked here from the Marcus after hours of day drinking at wineries around the valley. This was one of the best meals, if not the best I've had in Walla Walla. The pork chop was life changing. The service was top notch and then some. The open kitchen was fun to see and hear. Everyone was having a great time. We went with friends and would have this as a must on our list every time we visit the valley. There are lots of great, foundation restaurants here that we enjoy every time. This is another great addition. read more

Lovely birthday celebration - Theo made our evening special! We were visiting Walla Walla and our B & B (The Barn) suggested Salted Mill for supper...and they were spot on in their description. We were seated in a booth and made to feel very at home ; they even provided me with a birthday card! My burger was top notch and the wan tons we also ordered were delicious. Theo our server was a delight to chat with and plainly enjoys his job as he has another as an audio engineer but chose to work 5 days a week at the Salted Mill for some human interaction. He had a beaming smile, lovely manner and we could have chatted for hours. read more

What a great spot! In town for business, followed the stars to a great meal. This restaurant offers a classier experience (though not at all pretentious), with a professional menu and an opportunity to watch the kitchen too. The chef, Jim (owner?), personally checked in with many guests to hear their feedback. Staff were attentive and warm. The portions are shareable making this location a great value for your dollar. Flavors are sophisticated and ambiance lively. We had the pancetta appetizer, and tofu meal with a great mocktail too. The only wish I would have as a vegetarian is for a few more options for non-carnivores. Would return without hesitation! read more

We are thrilled about our experience at Salted Mill. We were able to find items for everyone in our group including a vegetarian and celiac.

From a.azing service with perfectly timed dining and amazing food, I have never had a anything but a great time here. If you are able to get there at the right time for s eine barrel seating, do so. Doesn't change the flavor of the food, but does provide an unique experience. We have greatly enjoyed the seasonal changes to the menu, and always have one of their specialty cocktails. With family in Walla Walla, we are able to head in at least every other month. But it is always a destination for a date night or for a quality meal with family. read more
