Took my wife and daughter their on Friday for an early Mothers Day celebration. Luckily their entrees were perfect. However, I ordered the 12 ounce prime NY strip and asked for it rare. Normally I would expect it to arrive with a nice outer crust and a cool, red inside but this turned out to have been cooked to medium, with some pink inside but not even medium rare. Normally I would send it back but with the two other dinners ready to go it would have destroyed the rhythm of the evening to wait for mine to be redone. So, I accepted it as cooked, but it was very disappointing. As usual, the service was excellent.

Salt and Iron Love Salt and Iron! So this is my third time here (might have been 4) and we came here for Mother's Day brunch. The place was packed! Well done! Service was on point we had lots of servers make sure we were taken care of and happy, refilling coffees etc so let's get to the food Chicken fried chicken 5/5 beautifully cooked and the double batter made the chicken extra tasty. It came with a side of cheesy grits which were very yummy and creamy and subbed the sausage gravy with hollandaise, would recommend Crab Benedict 5/5 lots of delicious crab and avocado, honestly could only eat one but it's beautifully prepared with a generous side of potatoes Surf n turf tartin 4/5 generous portion of beef (I believe it was a fillet mignon) with a side of their paprika roasted potatoes, unfortunately the beef was over cooked and on such a tender and lean cut it needed really only a kiss of heat, no pink at all on the slices of beef, shrimp was cooked well and over all the item needed some extra oomph some smack of salt or fat Corned Beef Hash 5/5 this is a must get if you see it on the menu it was part of the Mother's Day special items and it's glorious! It came with chipotle hollandaise complementing the corned beef and potato with a couple of perfectly poached eggs

This place is amazing hands down. I do think it's a bit pricey during normal hours but the food is still worth it. The happy hour is very good and so is the brunch. The brunch is honestly where it's at. The steak Benedict with some oysters in the side. Maybe a mimosa or a beer, let's goooooo. I would say that they need to update and add to the beer selection for the nw but that is just a personal preference. If you are an ipa drinker it's either sea pine on draft or Reuben's in a can. Both great choices, just want more for my brunch.

Every single aspect of this restaurant exudes excellence. The staff is lovely and the food is AMAZING. Great for happy hour or a special occasion. We had the chicken wings appetizer and let me tell you, those were some of the best wings we've ever tasted. My husband had halibut and I had the pork chop--both were just perfect. Our server felt like a friend by the end of the meal! Just wonderful.

Stopped by with some family around 6pm. Came with a reservation and was promptly seated. Got a window by the seat so there was plenty of sun. Interior was open rustic and homey. We all got the three course meal and coincidently chose the same options for all of them. First was the crab cake which was amazing. Very soft, moist, tender and creamy from the sauce. Second was the miso fish with veggies. The veggies were amazing. They were lightly glazed with a sweet soy like sauce that gave a nice break from the saltiness of the previous dish. Third we got bread pudding which was also amazing. Chunks of bread that were warm, light and fluffy with the candied maple bacon on top brining it all together. Every dish had a nice balance of savory and sweet which I loved. Food: 4.7/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 4/5

The food was amazing! I had the steak poutine from the Happy Hour menu. I skipped the horseradish aioli so it could've used more sauce but that's on me. It was still very good. But as good as that was, the scallops were even better! Cooked to perfection and served with a fingerling potato / grilled corn / shaved carrot / red onion / ginger sauté that was outstanding.

This is my 2nd time here. It was a tad noisy for a Sunday morning. I ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken; double-battered fried chicken · jalapeño corn & sausage gravy · poached eggs · three cheese blend · cheesy grits · herbs. Unfortunately the chicken was overly fried. I should have mentioned something to our server but chose not to. I will still come back and say something the next time.

Salt and Iron is easily my favorite restaurant in Edmonds. I've been multiple times for brunch (fantastic) - this was the first time I went for dinner. My friend and I were in the mood for fresh oysters - they are fantastic here. Many of the apps were calling our name so we ended up going a little crazy - bone marrow, ceviche, calamari, and steak tartar. Everything was fantastic. The service is always top notch - Mario was my server last night, he was a gem. The restaurant gets a bit busy - I would recommend making reservations. That being said, I've gotten lucky with bar seating when I've stopped in. The dining room is clean and bright - very inviting.
Overall great experience, the food was excellent paired with well made cocktails. The service was great but the only negative thing note worthy was how long the service took, for a party of four we were there for approximately 2 and a half hours to 3 hours.

This review is purely for the dinner service, I'd say the brunch was forgetful and you're best served walking a block or so over to the Rusty Pelican. We saw their "Seattle Restaurant Week" menu and decided to give them a shot, a great opportunity to use the gift card our realtor got us when we moved to town. It turned out to be so good we made the bold move of eating here twice in a week. The smoked old fashioned was better than the sum of its parts and shouldn't be overlooked. Not a smoke bomb or an unwelcome bitter firepit, it was a well balanced drink that made even the the mid shelf whiskey sing. I'm not a fan of walnut bitters but I have to admit they were a perfect balance for the sweeter notes of the syrup. We both ordered the same lineup each visit, a tasty smoked salmon and crab cake with a house tartar to start topped with microgreens and pickled red onions to give it that perfect acid note. We followed this with a medium rare prime steak with shoestring fries and probably the best house ranch we've had (for the fries, not the steak you monsters). Dessert was a Macrina cinnamon bread pudding with a scoop of ice cream and a candied bacon garnish. If I had one complaint it was the serving size of the bacon--half a piece was just a tease. If, like us, you've tried their brunch and left no more than whelmed give them a shot for dinner. We're glad we did.
Came here for my birthday. They took away my favorite dish — the spicy chicken sandwich. Had the halibut instead — very passé. Then they won’t serve us bread pudding — my favorite dessert — even though it was on the menu because it was “reserved for other customers”. Never coming here again.

This place has a special place in our hearts. Lots of memories made here for date nights and with families. Tonight, we tried something new on the menu, the Petite Filet, Pork chop and a dozen of oysters. The steak was made to perfection with some sort of reduction that's was perfect to my palate. I liked that it wasn't on the sweet side but the perfect umami flavor. The whipped potatoes was a perfect match for this. It's simple, buttery, hearty and so delicious! I highly recommend this dish. It was just the perfect 4oz steak and just right for me. I really enjoyed this one. As for the pork chop, it was also very good. It was tender, perfectly seasoned, juicy and enjoyable. I also like the potatoes that came with it. We enjoyed every bite of our dinner tonight. Service is always top notch. What more can I say. It's one of my favorite restaurant here in Edmonds.

Another delicious brunch at Salt & Iron! Had reservations for 4 (definitely recommended on weekends) and was seated right away around open, but the restaurant filled up fast. We had a personable, fun, server who made the experience very enjoyable.Today, I got the filet benedict with breakfast potatoes, house coffee, and shared the delicious carrot cake with a streusel and cream, and couldn't have been happier with the choices. The hollandaise is lovely, especially over the beautiful filet, a crispy English muffin and never tire of the breakfast potatoes. The coffee was flavorful and tasted elevated from the coffee I usually get at a standard brunch. The carrot cake was not too sweet but filled my craving for a rich cream cheese frosting, and the streusel with cream was refreshing and crispy. Cleaned the plate and will be back again, hopefully soon!
this is a wonderful restaurant. Unfortunately I requested that the English muffin be well toasted for the benedict and it was so hard that i couldn't cut it with the knife. but the real disappointment was the cinnamon roll. The only taste was sugar. No cinnamon could be tasted and the roll was dry. It was really bad. I had planned to take half of it home but decided against that. I really think one or more managers need to taste this. It is probably the worst cinnamon roll I've ever eaten. SO MUCH SUGAR!! Everything was just "okay" this visit with the roll really creating a big disappointment for me in he end.
