Problem: I can sort of understand why Honey Salt is so popular, its an upscale yet casual place which Vegas is seriously lacking off strip. While I commend the owners independent spirit, my problem with Honey Salt is that it just wasn't very good. Spending over $300 (with tax and tip) for a party of four we'd expect to have an amazing meal to brag about and believe me I love talking about great experiences. To start we'd never been to Honey Salt before so we asked to be walked through the menu, the concepts and what Honey Salt is all about. Our waiter seemed nervous and was quite scattered in his explanations. He was attentive through out our meal, as well as his assistant, he never really relaxed around us. Here is the run down on the food me and the Mr shared (laundry list style).. Steak Tartare was the best dish from what the Mr and I ordered. Nice portion size but suffered from being under seasoned. I mean you'd think a restaurant that has the word salt in the name would at the very least use it. My Wife's Favorite Salad sounded great but there wasn't a single piece of arugula on the plate, just tons of frisee. Meanwhile the duck tasted kind of off, not that it was bad, just tasted like it had been in the fridge to long. Im super sensitive to that flavor and usually send it back but the Mr said it fine. Margherita Pizza had a great crust.. crispy and light while remaining chewy and toothsome this was pretty good. Again great ingredients but lacked seasoning, namely salt! Mary's Free Range Brick Oven Chicken was sort of my fault. I had read so many great things about it so I may have had to high of expectations. So when the plate was put in front of me my expectation turned to disappointment. When you order a chicken off the menu and it costs $23 you'd expect more than a single breast. I guess I should have looked at the pics first. Then further disappointment struck when I tasted it, no fucking salt! The skin was not crisp nor the flesh tender and moist. For me this was the most disappointing dish of them all. Cookie plate was for dessert and all 3 cookies were moist and chewy. My favorite was the brown butter chocolate chip cookie. Lots of chocolate and had that light cookie crunch connected to a chewy center, just needed and ice cold glass of milk and I would have been in a cookie coma! I know Im in the minority with my review of Honey Salt and I hope to return one day to see if we have a different experience but it'll be a while.

Problem: Killer Reuben, a must share... We opted for the corned beef pastrami combo. We also split an order of fries, some of the best, served light, crisp and hot. Portions are ginormous, we had no room for the Devine looking cheesecake. Definitely a good spot for late nigh dining.

Problem: A cornucopia of different galleries inside this two level building, a yoga studio, and finally the Bar + Bistro (it's been about three or four different restaurants in the past few years). This is a great stop for "First Friday" with so much to see- been here 3x. I saw other items for sale besides art, namely handmade jewelry. It can get crowded as some people just stand in the pathways (clueless). It was a tight squeeze for me at times and I'm petite. Some rooms can be quite small- galleries for that matter. I can ignore all that because I like that one can see so much in one area (hence the five stars). I saw a few artists featured in the local weekly newspaper. Notable display: Bondage Barbie- instant giggles, thought-provoking; greeting cards readily available for purchase BTW. Some art is available for purchase, with some prices noted. I saw a beautiful piece that I am seriously considering (gotta talk that over with the DH, and figure on space). Some crowds went into the alley where a DJ was spinning. But we didn't check that out. There's usually a lot of activity at the Bar + Bistro with a DJ spinning. It's such a cool vibe. I think that there is a $5 cover charge. I like the variety in the gallery and that's why I find it so appealing. Definitely something for everyone to enjoy. Neat place. Always come here on foot, so I don't know about parking.

Problem: Sushi was OK but the service was terrible. Me and my group were rushed to order, hostess was extremely rude, and had to wait 10 minutes before we even got our service. Not worth the price.
