Salt at Geist

"First time visitor the evening before Valentine’s Day. Restaurant was about half occupied when we were there. It was a bit loud for my taste, but could still hear conversation. Our wait staff was excellent! She knew so much about all the food and drink options. Impressed with how knowledgeable she was! We sat in the glass patio enclosure area. I thoroughly enjoyed the cocktails she recommended and the bread and butter. The beet salad seemed to lack a bit in beets but still tasty. The lobster bisque had a great flavor. Key lime cheesecake was light and tasty. will definitely return! Decor felt clean and refreshing."

"We have been a handful of times and have never left impressed with service/food/atmosphere comparably to atmosphere/location. The location and atmosphere is great, but the actual restaurant/food has been less than hoped for in most every aspect. Since the summer when we were there, they must have felt the need to change up the menu and provide smaller portions. Don’t go if you are hungry or expect meat in your dinner. They brought out my Lobster and Mac and Cheese and it came in child sized portion of Mac n Cheese with maybe 4 bites of Lobster. It was literally an OVERPRICED Mac n cheese from Sam’s club. I ordered the entree portion and as I look at the review pictures online it was SLIGHTLY larger than the pictures of the side of Mac n cheese but I paid $28. It was so small that I literally laughed and asked the poor guy bringing the food out it was the right portion. I felt bad for him as he walked away. How easy and inexpensive is it to make it look like a larger portion and put at least a clump of lobster on top of pasta in a larger bowl. Just poor presentation and lack of meat and even pasta. Our waitress was subpar and didn’t really ask if we liked the food and it was obvious that it was a disappointment. Also they use to have a drink with a “buzz button” (edible flower) that was a delight and reminded me of the Cosmopolitan in Vegas that is renowned for this drink but it was absent from the menu. I would come back and pay the $15 for that drink and say thank you with no food, but the Lobster and Mac n Cheese you can keep."

"Grabbed a quick dessert and espresso here after dinner at another location. We heard about the chocolate cake and it did not disappoint! Both items we ordered were delicious together. We definitely want to come back when in town to try entrees!"

"This was our 1st time going and I would definitely recommend the food! The lamb chops were absolutely amazing. We didn't care for our alcohol beverages we had. My husband got an old fashion and they added cinnamon. Not sure why and I got a Sunset something and it had a weird black berry puree. Definitely should simplify the fancy drinks. I think sticking to the classic recipes would go a long way. But overall the food and the atmosphere was very nice. Definitely planning to go again in the future."

"So this was my first time checking out this restaurant. It's very vibrant and well decorated. I sat at the bar and had a bartender by the name of Brendan I believe. I started off with a couple of their signature cocktails, windy sales and pirates punch. Highly recommend windy sales, it was amazing! I started with the lobster bisque as an appetizer. This was a 10 out of 10. THE BEST lobster bisque I have ever had and it was loaded with pieces of lobster. For the main course I had the Chilean sea bass for dinner. This was hands down the best sea bass that I have had in the Midwest. It was truly prepared perfectly and reminded me of some of the best that I've had along the coast in other cities. For dessert I had a couple old fashions to drink. I would highly recommend that if "B" is working that you request that he make you one of these because it was a 12 out of 10. Awesome experience, and wonderful staff. Will definitely be back!"
