    Salmon with spicy corn and green beans
    Mindy L.

    Was easy to make a reservation online for a party of 5 at 9pm. The place usually closes at 11pm but they called us offering to seat us early as they'd be closing the restaurant early at 10pm. It was a kind offer but our group still got there at 9 and put our order in quickly so timing was just fine. The food I had at this place is EXCELLENT. I had the salmon which came with spicy corn and green beans--great pescatarian option. They even asked how well done to cook the fish; I took their recommendation and was saying mmmm every single bite. The complimentary biscuits drew the same delicious reaction too! Everyone at the table was halp with their dishes of steaks, shrimp and brisket too. We legit were going to come back the next day but they were closed

    If I had to pick ONE restaurant in Columbus, GA to visit, it would hands down be this one! 10/10 ambiance. 10/10 service. 10/10 drinks + food. Salt Cellar never misses! Been here multiple times and I always leave here feeling grateful for the experience and the delicious food. I've tried their steaks, burgers, salmon, and almost all their sides. I highly recommend! Also if you sit at the bar, you get to me Kristian, who's a phenomenal human and bartender. She makes delicious drinks and really knows how to give good service. Restaurant is clean and beautiful and cozy. Can't wait to be back and bring my friends and family here when they visit me!

    Croque madame. Almost as good as the one I had in Paris! (lol)  Can't wait to go back and have brunch again.

    Brunch was a huge success. I hope they keep it going. The food was amazing. Service was great.

    I always like trying a few new places on my visits to town. We hadn't had saltcellar before. I made us a rezzie following one of my son's military graduations aka a fabulous reason to celebrate at a new restaurant. Our drinks and entrees were delicious! My son had the salmon and I had the scallops. I highly recommend salt cellar for a tasty, healthier dinner option in the Columbus area. Their dining room has got to be one of the loveliest around. Service was outstanding.

    Wonderful experience this is my 3x at the saltcellar and every time the bartenders (Jane she's been lovely every time I'm here), food and service have been excellent. This time I ordered the short rib and it was delicious chef Rafael introduced himself along with this beautiful plate of food! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in Columbus or visiting! the halibut was also great! I had that my 2nd time visiting here! I will surely be back to try something new!

    Filet medallions Oscar with a side of button mushrooms
    Roberta H.

    We were visiting my son in Columbus, GA and decided to try this restaurant. The ambiance was great! Old brick walls, rustic but also modern. Our waitress was attentive and checked in on us to make sure all was well. The food was delicious. I had the filet Oscar with asparagus and mashed potatoes and it had a great presentation and was full of flavor. Cooked to perfection for me. Of course I had to try a little of everyone's and they were all delicious! Portions are not large but satisfying. It's a little on the more expensive side but it was definitely worth it!!! If you are ever in Columbus Georgia you have to try this place!

    Some old fashions.. delicious

    Been wanting to try Saltcellar for a while now. I had the opportunity last night to have a late dinner showed up an hour before they closed, and they still welcomed us with open arms and served us a delicious meal! We sat in Kameron's section..dessert bar. He was super attentive and super funny. He explained the dinner specials and of course we had to dive right in. How can you miss a great grouper? I'm not really a dessert person, but we went for it, and the cheesecake was to die for! Definitely will be coming back. The atmosphere was perfect.

    The drinks are AMAZING. I had the watermelon margarita.

    The drinks are so good! I had the watermelon rita. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and alcohol. My husband had a cucumber margarita and it was so refreshing.

    I would give Jarfly 9 stars if I could. We were on our way from a long day in a production…read morefacility in Eufaula, AL to Atlanta, GA with customers and we found Jarfly on Yelp and thought we would give it a try. So glad we did. The menu is eclectic with just about something for everyone. All our food came out quickly. It was well prepared, fresh and everyone really enjoyed their food. There is a great drink selection and the service was excellent. The bar has roll up garage doors down one side that open up to an outdoor seating area with a variety of seating options. Decor is bright and cheerful. If I lived around here, Jarfly would be high up on my list as far as places to go relax drink and eat!

    The combo appetizer included sweet potato fries, mozzarella sticks, wings, and nachos. The nachos…read morewere pretty basic--nothing special, no real cheese, barely any toppings. They honestly don't need to be on the menu. The mozzarella sticks were surprisingly flavorful with a nice crunch, but they came with way too much breading and only three of them, which felt stingy and odd. They definitely should've included more. The sweet potato fries had decent flavor but were under-salted (as fries almost always need after frying) and came out a bit limp and sad-looking. The hot wings weren't labeled as boneless or bone-in on the menu, but they turned out to be boneless--which is fine. They were a good size, but the "hot" sauce was extremely mild. It needs way more heat to live up to the name. Now, the ranch... this ranch is incredible. It's creamy, deeply flavored, and has the perfect amount of dill--it's practically divine. I could rave about this ranch all day. The Zombie drink comes in a cool skull glass (limited to one per person), but it's basically 99% ice with very little actual drink. I could barely taste any alcohol--maybe I have a high tolerance--but the flavor was solid. Still, it's pretty pricey for mostly ice. The John Denver cocktail also looked great in its presentation, but again, mostly ice. Thankfully, the flavor matched the menu description exactly, which was a pleasant surprise. The patty melt was solid overall, but it needed more salt and pepper for seasoning. My egg was overcooked (fully hard yolk instead of the runny one I was hoping for to ooze over the patty). The avocado was only on one half of the sandwich, which seemed strange. I'd have preferred a slightly thicker patty too, but I do appreciate that it came on Texas toast--even though the menu didn't mention it. All patty melts should use Texas toast. I added a side salad, which looked nicely artisanal, and--once again--that amazing ranch took it to another level. The regular fries that came with the Rodeo Burger aren't regular at all--they're battered and had great flavor and crisp structure. They were excellent... except for the missing finishing salt that every great fry deserves. The Rodeo Burger itself was cooked perfectly, but like the patty melt, the patties needed more salt and pepper. The egg was again overcooked (hard yolk). Beyond that, the flavors worked well, though the jalapeños were surprisingly mild and lacked punch. The bacon was spot-on--not underdone, not overcooked, just the right chew without being tooth-breaking. Overall, the food has potential, but seasoning (especially salt) is consistently missing, and a few portions/quality details could use attention. That ranch, though? Absolute standout

Was told by my colleagues that the Parker house rolls and cinnamon butter was great. I had the summer salad (spring greens, cherries, strawberries, and a HUGE knot of burrata cheese, with an additional grilled salmon). This salad was incredible. Highly recommend! The table shared some deviled eggs. The pickled onions on the deviled eggs was so good. Everyone dipped their fries in the chili crisp oil and agreed it was one of the best flavor combos of the trip. Our server gave us an extra side of it and gave my friend a side of kimchi to add to his burger. Just great all around service and vibe. While the restaurant feels like the height of 2015-2020 design (let's road trip in our sprinter van to a shipping container cottage!), everything feels airy and good to be there

    Later that Wednesday evening, as the restaurant settled into a softer, more intimate glow, we opted…read morefor the main dining room rather than the rooftop. The hostess was warm and efficient, seating us immediately. Our server approached with the quiet confidence of someone who knows her craft--she was direct, professional, and all business in the best possible way. Even as closing time drew near, she kept my glass refreshed without needing to be asked, a small but telling detail that spoke volumes about her attentiveness. The space itself strikes a pleasant semi-formal note--clean, polished, and respectful without veering into stuffy territory. Behind the bar, the bartender was meticulously wiping down every bottle, a quiet display of care that set a tone of genuine pride in the operation. We began with a dozen oysters: six raw and six char-grilled. The raw specimens were on the petite side for the price, yet delivered a clean, bright, and pleasantly saline flavor that let the oyster speak for itself. The char-grilled version arrived with a savory Parmesan crust that brought its own appealing character--rich, cheesy, and nicely caramelized in a way that felt unique rather than derivative. The crab dip, however, was a standout. Far superior to the often disappointing versions we've encountered elsewhere, this one tasted of genuine lump crab meat, folded into a properly cheesy, indulgent dip that avoided any unfortunate "buffalo" detours. Served with crisp crostini, each bite was balanced and deeply satisfying--an authentic crab dip done right. The Korean cheesesteak offered an excellent harmony of flavors: tender, well-seasoned meat beneath a luxurious blanket of melted cheese, punctuated by the bright, spicy kick of kimchi and the refreshing snap of pickles. It was delicious, though for the price, I wished for a more generous filling and a bit more heft to the sandwich overall. The mac & cheese arrived in a commendably generous portion, with a beautiful Parmesan crust on top. Visually appealing, the dish unfortunately fell a touch flat on the palate. The noodles were properly cooked and coated in a creamy sauce, yet it lacked the depth and seasoning one hopes for-- a pinch more salt and pepper would have elevated it considerably. The fish and chips presented a towering mound of fries that carried decent flavor but lacked the shattering crispness one craves. The real disappointment lay in the presentation of the fish: two fillets stacked atop one another, causing the steaming heat to turn the once-promising breading soggy and prone to sliding off. That said, the fish itself was excellent--flaky, moist, and delicately sweet with a lovely buttery quality. It was the unfortunate interaction between steam and crust that kept the dish from greatness. The roads were a little dense, so not necessarily my particular style, but I'm good. The butter that came with them was very unique to say the least. To drink, both beers arrived filled to the absolute brim and proved so enjoyable that I would gladly order them again without hesitation. Overall, the evening delivered solid, thoughtful plates in a well-run environment, with several bright spots that make a return visit tempting--particularly for those oysters and that excellent crab dip.
