    Food was ok. We were not offered the brunch we made reservations for. We wanted the Easter brunch.
    Salt & Ash - HalifaxResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your review Corinne. We sincerely apologize for the experience surrounding your reservation and the Easter brunch. It’s disappointing to hear that we weren’t able to offer you the brunch you were expecting, especially after making a reservation. We completely understand how frustrating that must have been. Our Brunch ended at 3 PM, and unfortunately we had a very busy weekend and began to run out of our easter items around 2 PM. We’ll be reviewing our processes to ensure that this doesn’t happen again in the future. Your feedback is really important to us, and we hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide the experience you were hoping for. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    We had a lovely Easter Brunch. The food was extremely tasty and the staff very attentive. I'm vegetarian and it was lovely to see that many menu items could be adjusted to accommodate this. It was my first time at Salt and Ash and I found the decor very interesting - I can visualise how it will feel very "beachy" when summer comes but right now it is warm and cozy.
    Salt & Ash - HalifaxResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a lovely Easter Brunch with us, and that the food and service exceeded your expectations. We’re especially happy that our menu options could accommodate your vegetarian preferences—our team works hard to provide a variety of options for all guests! It’s also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the décor. We love that the space feels cozy and inviting, and we’re excited for you to experience the beach-house vibes when the warmer weather arrives! Our patio is also to die for during the warm summer nights. We cant wait to welcome you back.

    It use to be my favourite restaurant in the city but I wasn’t impressed with the menu this time around. It lacked variety and the food was just okay for the price point.
    Salt & Ash - HalifaxResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your recent experience didn’t quite hit the mark for you. While we believe our current menu offers a great variety of dishes, we understand that everyone’s preferences are different. We're excited to share that we’ll soon be updating our menu to feature new, fun and seasonal items for the summer. We think you’ll love the new additions, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back to try them when they’re available. We appreciate your support and hope to have the chance to provide you with an even better experience next time!

    Ordered the pulled chicken sandwich with fries. Not very hot and there wasn't very much chicken in it. Some of the chicken was tough. The flavour was good but for the price it was just a big bun with not much in it. For a pulled meat sandwich, I was expecting more. The fries were pretty good.
    Salt & Ash - HalifaxResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the fries, but we're sorry to hear that the pulled chicken sandwich didn’t meet your expectations. We take great care in preparing our dishes, and it’s disappointing to hear that the sandwich wasn’t served hot and that the chicken was tough. We’ll be reviewing this with our kitchen team to ensure better consistency moving forward. Your feedback is important to us, and we hope you'll consider giving us another try in the future. We are in the process of updating our menu to include new, exciting items for the summer and we'd love the opportunity to deliver the experience you were expecting if you decide to come by and give us another shot! Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
