    Pineapple margarita
    Jasmine R.

    This place has been on my list for a while, and I'm so glad I got to check it out for happy hour. My friend and I started with the empanada and frites as appetizers then opted for the surf and turf as our entrees. The food was all very flavorful and fresh. The bread that is served with the surf and turf is tasty, and the portion size of the dish was large enough for me to take home and have leftovers. The special margarita was pineapple flavored and refreshing. Service was wonderful, and the restaurant itself was very cute. I've been looking for a regular happy hour spot, and this might be it!

    Prawn & Turf
    Gaby S.

    This place was amazing! We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and were able to get a seat at the bar right away. It seemed busier on the regular table side, but it was nice to have either option. The ambiance is super cute, cosy enough to be a date night, but lively enough to go with friends too. The bartenders were super nice and knowledgeable about the menu, answering all of the questions we had. My husband got the Caramelized Pineapple Margarita, which I believe was their seasonal margarita at the time, and he really liked it. I just got a regular margarita, which was also very good. To eat, I got the Prawn & Turf, and he got the Bolognese. During Happy Hour, everything is very reasonably priced! All of the food was extremely flavorful and the portions were more than enough. The pasta is made in house and you can really taste the difference! The sauce that came with the prawn & turf was one of the most unique and flavorful sauces I've ever had. We had also ordered an empanada as well and our bartender forgot to ring it in, but it ended up working out just fine because we couldn't even finish our main plates. Overall, both the service and the food here are amazing and we will definitely be back!

    Dinner and drinks for 2

    So I'm not from the area but a local recommended this place. Grateful we made reservations since they book out in advance. Our servers name was Kate and she was superb! The way she described all the food with such passion and detail made us want to order everything! Aside from that she was beyond kind and patient while we chose our drinks and food. Never once made us feel rushed. I ordered the Inside Job and loved it! Great take on an old fashioned. My pregnant sister ordered a secret garden which she said was incredibly refreshing. We shared everything and started off with the chicken empanadas. Loved these! They had this incredible hint of cinnamon and I love how they had a generous amount of filling, a light crunchy crust and the sauce on the side only made them that much better. My sister ordered the ribeye with the purple potatoes and I got the branzino. She said her steak was good but she'd had a better one at Seattle City Grill. I thought it had a great crust on it. The branzino was perfection! Hope it sticks around as a permanent option. Definitely a pricy place though. Luckily we were celebrating that night!

    Not sure what our waitresses name was really nice younger blonde girl the food was great service was fabulous we had 6 people for a 7 o'clock Saturday reservation everything went fabulous

    Grilled sour dough bread (toast)
    Kevin E.

    Dark, rustic venue nice for date night. Pretty full even on a Tuesday. Probably should have a reservation but we were lucky and were able to walk in. Service was good. I loved the tender lamb shank and enjoyed the smoky polenta it was served over even more. My partner thought it was too rich. Used the nice toast to soak up some sauce. Gnocchi was light and tasty with different mushrooms. Menu says pasta is fresh and it tastes it. Would go again!

    Rib Eye Steak w/ fries
    Ron H.

    Made reservations here for my Fiancé's birthday awhile back. Found parking fairly easy (Street Parking Only) and was immediately greeted by the server right when we walked in. Was a beautiful day out so the big doors were open letting in some fresh air. Ordered the Rib Eye, which I'm typically not a fan of Rib Eye steak. Delicious. Perfectly seasoned where no additional sauce was needed and it practically melted in my mouth. Be prepared to spend a bit of coin but also be prepared to have plenty of left overs. I believe my steak was 14oz and I know I have plenty for lunch and breakfast this coming weekend. As long as I don't screw it up while reheating it.

    Ribeye, Chicken Milanese & grilled Roasted Fresh Corn
    Vanessa C.

    First off, all of the staff was incredible. From the valet outside to the waitstaff and host. Elijah was an incredible waiter! He gave great recommendations and was very attentive to our needs. The ribeye will have us drooling for weeks to come. Fantastic flavors and super juicy and tender. All of the food was delicious, we will definitely be back soon. Don't forget to get the crème brûlée!

The cook should check the soup pot on a regular basis to ensure that the chowder is hot and ensure that the fish is at least 135 degrees and let it warm up to over 140 degrees before serving. Jamie if you still own the Top please look into the kitchen and bring back your great menu.

They have OUTDOOR SEATING!!! Let's start off with the MOCK COCKTAIL the Blueberry Mojito. OMG! It was DELICIOUS!!! It had a lot of flavors. Then came out the Beef Wellingtons. They were shooters. The menu says they typically come out in about 25 minutes. We ordered them anyway. Luckily for us they came out first. They were delicious!!! Nice and hot. The breading was nice and flaky. We will ordering these again! The shrimp cocktail and the salads came out. They were all good. However, my wife noted that her Avocado and Bacon Salad needed more Avocado and Bacon. Last the Garlic Ptarmigan Fries. The garlic level can be considered "Date Level". So, if you are looking for something more garlicky then this is not really for you. Salted Rim Bar and Kitchen was really busy. Especially for a Sunday night. They had a trivia contest going on so it was a little loud. However, with the business of the night they had enough staff to go around. With the staff being plentiful we were not ignored. As for the staff themselves they were all extremely nice and friendly.

They only do 2 oz pours (no half pours) but the prices are still more affordable than any other place you'd find on the West Coast. Some downsides is that they don't have glencairn glasses and the place has your typical tavern smells, so you won't get the full isolated whiskey tasting experience. This place is after all a tavern, so most of the focus is on beers and a communal experience. If you're looking to try something rare without wanting to buy the whole bottle though, I think coming here for whiskey is still pretty good.
