Welcome to Salt + Charcoal

“ My favorite restaurant hands down! The quality of the meet is exceptional and the wine list to die for! Staff super helpful and friendly and the location super accessible. ”

“ Just wow! We stopped in before a movie for a quick snack and a drink, not expecting much. Instead, we had a great experience here. Drinks were good, service professional and the food was excellent. We shared the wedge salad, which I am still dreaming about, and a salmon sushi roll, which was different then any roll I have tasted - more complex somehow? Anyway, it was light and delicious. As far as the steak goes, all we did is ogle the wagyu in the cooler up front. Who knows? Maybe we will be back for a proper steak dinner. Definitely a great pre-movie spot. ”

“ Great great service and food. Small location but everything they do they do very well. From the drinks. To the sushi. To the entrees. Everything was absolutely delicious. Started with the Kale Salad, which I thought would have been so so. Turns out it was absolutely delicious! Just a really great place. Will absolutely return. ”

“ Unique and classy with incredible food! Came here on Valentine's Day which is much different experience than a regular meal, so some the anecdotes may not apply, but I would definitely come back her for a date night meal. The restaurant let us know that Valentine's Day was going to be ore-fixe at $160 a person without drinks. Now I wasn't planning on spending much more on a fancy meal but sticker shock went away when we were sat and given the menu. Each course was SO interesting from flavor to the presentation, and the 8oz steak was a delight. The sushi was a notably delicious bite and the matcha cake was also quite stellar. The wait staff were very quick, we even out paced the couple next to us who were sat first, and that couple decided to have a problem with it, which the staff were so friendly and apologetic (though it wasnt there fault). I have to say the steak was truly something to come back for and my date got the duck - which was outstanding as well. Really a classy and unique steak house that's worth the visit. ”

“ Really nice and cozy spot to come and eat. I would even say a romantic spot. The place is a cross between Peter Luger and Japanese Sushi. Delicious dry aged steak you can enjoy medium rare, and incredibly fresh sushi ingredients with toasty seaweed you roll yourself with perfectly steamed white rice. We tried the porterhouse. The service... perfect service without any boogie energy. Just straight great service thru out the meal. All together a really nice treat for the money. We recommend it, it made for a great date for wifey and I. ”

“ Believe the hype. I was so very pleased with my experience at Salt+Charcoal! It started with the ambiance. What a wonderful looking restaurant. We were taken downstairs to a very intimate room. The servers were so kind and helpful. We ordered a few apps, salad, and the porterhouse. Nothing disappointed. First off, they have course times down to a science. We weren't rushed and we weren't waiting. It almost felt like the moment we were ready for the next course it was at our table. The food is sensational. The reviews don't lie! I will be coming back again, for sure! ”

“ Just had the amazing Brunch at Salt and Charcoal in Brooklyn. We tried the new Brunch menu : DIY Temaki hand-rolls. The set include the A5 wagyu tartare, A5 wagyu+ uni, ikura, avocado, cucumber & egg for $38. It was so fun to make the hand roll by ourselves, Plus the New York strip steak was insanely tender. Come and check this place out! Follow @spinx17 for more NYC food recs! ”

“ After seeing foodgasm worthy photos of my friend's meal on instagram, Salt + Charcoal has been on my list of "Want to Try" for the past three years. I'd been saving it for a special occasion as my #1 top priority and that occasion finally arose as I was turning 34 this year and my beloved partner booked us a reservation for 7 PM on a crisp Saturday evening. The place comfortable seats about 25 patrons with mixed styles of tables and booths, and this lucky birthday boy was delighted to share the latter with the love of his life. We were seated in one of the booths along the main avenue with flower pots in interesting vases lining the window. The waitstaff all had a hip modern Japanese flair to their dress, and it was clear this was a moonlighting job for these models/actors. There was an extensive alcohol list with many sake's to choose from (yum) as well as the full dinner menu and specials. When shiso shows up on the menu, I immediately get it so I went with the Shiso Mojito while my partner went for a licorice-tasting cocktail I forgot the name to; both were well mixed and interesting. We took a while to choose from the extensive food menu since everything sounded good, but eventually decided on the Japanese Wagyu Roll (so we could have a taste of their Wagyu), the Yellowtail Roll for more shisho leaf goodness, the rib eye special for one which came with their signature wasabi cream sauce, a side of cheese fries and their unique uni filet mignon steak which I'd heard so much about and to which my friend said was an absolute must. Wagyu Roll -- I was worried the truffle oil would be overpowering but it worked really well in the roll. The flavours all worked well together. Although I understand the point of the crunchy potatoe flakes for texture, they were a bit distracting in the roll and I could done without them. Yellowtail Roll -- again, really well-balanced and tasty; the shiso leaf helped cut the potential heavyness of the fish and crabstick, but overall, really well balanced. I liked this one a lot. I'd definitely order either roll again, and might just come back out to have them. I was already getting full at this point, sharing these rolls with my partner, but luckily we had drinks and the steaks took a while to come out. Ribeye special -- medium-rare was the correct choice. The steak on its own was really flavourful and that 60 day (?) aging really worked wonders for it, even if it wasn't wagyu. It doesn't matter though, it was incredibly tasty and I'd come back for this again 110%. Uni Filet Mignon -- I really really wanted to love this...but it was too much. The filet mignon sits on the bottom with a layer of ikura (salmon roe) with uni on top of that. It sounds great in practice, but is way too much umami at once. The uni and ikura really overpower the dish, so much so that you can't taste the beef at all. I actually had to spread it off to try and see what the meat tasted like (delicious, obviously, but not as good as the rib-eye). The bed of watercress was a good compliment that gave lightness to the dish since everything else was so strong flavoured. Overall, I'm eagerly awaiting another opportunity to come back to Salt + Charcoal, but I'll be more deliberate about the choice of meat next time. ”
