Salt is a tasting room specializing in artisanal cheese, small-batch cured meats, and a dynamic array of wines, beers and sherries. Guests assemble a Tasting Plate from our chalkboard's selection of 10 cheeses, 10 meats, and 10 condiments. The wine list is dynamic and constantly evolving. Global in nature, one can always expect a sampling of vinous delights from our own backyard, or your favourite wine regions the world-over. The selections change constantly, making it almost impossible to have the same Salt experience twice.

You have to remember when going here that this is a wine tasting room, not a place to have dinner. The wine list is imaginative and approachable. The service on a good night is excellent, on a bad night is so-so, but the staff have always been very helpful with the wine choices, pairings, and flight recommendations. The food is charcuterie, not full meals. Use this place to meet up for a pre-dinner drink, or to end off the night with some wine appreciation.
OK, so it could use a bit more ambiance, but who cares. It's never been touted as a "restaurant". It's a wine and cheese bar, that's it. If you want to go to a neat place to have a dring before dinner, or a late night snack, it's perfect. As for the fact that it's in an alley.... whatever! If that's really so intimidating for you, perhaps you should stay home and have a latte in your safe livingroom... ;)
