We went to Salt and Ash to celebrate a friend’s birthday and they were very accommodating to ensure we had a good time. The drinks were boozy while also being well balanced and the food was tasty at a very reasonable price.
I would highly recommend Salt & Ash to anyone as they have so much to offer.

Great spot! Table of 7 and we each ordered mostly different apps and mains across many different food preferences and not one of them disappointed! Lower budget? The haddock tacos from the appetizer menu will leave you contemplating a second order !! If you don’t my mind levelling up, the steak was grilled to perfection with a nice char and that open flame cook flavour that will melt in your mouth.
Make sure you dust off their drink menu and order plenty as they’re all worth a second round.
Will definitely be back in the very near future.
