Sea Salt

DO. NOT. EAT.
I don’t want to even waste 5 minutes writing a review for this place. Never in my life have I had ruder service, more horrible food, repeatedly serving us expensive bottled water when we asked for tap. If you are looking to have something to make you gag go for the pita appetizer. I’m positive it will fit your needs. I don’t know what these people are thinking but hopefully the place goes under soon.
What kind of stupidity exists where you’d think us asking to charge $ 72 to a card means to charge $ 0.72. Why god why.

This place was great, it had the entertainment that just made you fall in love. Gave you a reason to try something that you have only heard of or have not tried in a while. The dishes that they offer are over whelming and «just make you want to finish the last bit».
The Waiter Rifat, (Hope I spelled it right!) Everyone says they have seen it all before or have tried it before! But when someone can suggest something for you and to have it fit right, with each meal. It was like magic dust through-​out my mouth.
If you want to share with your date. I recommend the grilled octopus appetizer its a great find… and a great dish. My favorite!
By your next dish you will not want to share, could make you weak in the knees though. So don’t get up and try sitting closer to your date. She/​he sees you. hahahaha
«We can’t wait to return»…

The service was spotty. The food was just okay.

If I were stranded on Mt. Everest, I’d want to cut one of their rolls open like a Tonton and crawl inside. I only had wine and the cheese and olive appetizer but I give this place 4 stars just for the bread. Delicious, crusty round rolls that stay warm for an amazingly long time. I was so surprised by their heat retaining ability that I tried to strike up a conversation with our server, hoping she’d share a secret about them.(«Oh, we put goose down in the dough».) But she was nonplussed by my interest. My only complaint is that we had to wait a bit for our second round of drinks.

The first thing I noticed when I walked into Sea Salt was the chef’s signature dish — a large striped sea bass covered in what looked like a coat of baked plaster (sea salt actually). He was serving it table side to an impressed group of guests. It would be hard not to stare. The fish was HUGE and carved with designs. The chef served it with pride. This is his work of food art.
It turns out you need to order that fish in advance. My friend and I had to settle for the standard items on the menu. As expected, the menu revolves around sea food but also includes traditional Turkish dishes.
The atmosphere was relaxed, clean and sparse. The waiters wore crisp black striped shirts and were very attentive to the guests. The chef came by a few times to ask if everything was to our liking.
We took the advice of our waitress who suggested we choose our fish from the small «market» they have in back. We walked over to a case filled with fresh fish on ice. The fish were the stars here — sea bass, porgy, snapper, trout, and others. They were presented in a case that made it hard to choose which one you wanted on your plate.
I went with sea bass which 30 minutes later was presented perfectly grilled on my plate. I was in the middle of a conversation when the fish arrived so the waiter offered to de-​bone it for me. He expertly removed the whole bone. It always enjoy this process. If done correctly, the whole bone is removed leaving only the succulent meat. The whole bone always reminds me of an old Tom and Jerry cartoon with cats enjoying fish bones in the alley.
I was there on their 3^rd night. I would say Sea Salt is off to a great start. I recommend it for anyone who loves all things from the sea (with a Turkish twist.)
