text: Very rarely in life does something live up to the hype and I felt that way about Salt of the Earth I feel like it is just trying too hard to cater to the foody hipster crowd and forgets that these are the people that will quickly abandon it as soon as the next great thing comes out nnThe strict cocktail menu is a little over the top I found only having a few drinks to order from and having them all be original creations did not make sense They are expensive drinks and most likely I have never tasted them before and yet I have no choice to order one of them or one of the beers on tap nnThe food was solid but not spectacular They list the menu on a chalkboard but it is not descriptive at all In fact they just list what is on the plate So I really do not know if an ingredient is in my main dish in my side dish or is my side dish altogether You can ask your waitstaff but this can get a little annoying after one or two dishes nnI was most upset about an added ingredient in my dish that was not listed To put curry in a dish but yet not list it as one of the ingredients on the menu I found to be totally unacceptable and my waitress did not warn me about it either nnBasically I was underwhelmed altogether and found it to be pretentious for the sake of being pretentious
