Salt Wine Bar Ltd in Toronto

Great food and service!

We enjoyed the sourdough so much we decided to takeout one extra togo. The sizes for takeout is significantly smaller/thinner than the dine in one. Truly disappointing

We visited Salt Wine Bar for my birthday, encouraged by my partners positive memory of a past visit. The ambiance is lovely, a mix of rustic charm and understated elegance, creating a trendy yet classic vibe. The service was attentive and polished, with a server who knew the menu well. Unfortunately, the food didn t live up to expectations, especially at the prices they re charging. The bruschetta was a mere two small pieces, bland and under-seasoned, while the mixed charcuterie board, though good quality, was disappointing in quantity. The lobster tacos were delicious, but, not special enough for the price point. Overall, while Salt nails the atmosphere and service, the food felt overpriced for the portion sizes and flavors. A price reduction of about twenty percent might have changed our impression. As it stands, I m not likely to return.

Service was excellent. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed. The decor was tasteful; the food and wine were both fantastic. Looking forward to my next visit.

Went for a friend s birthday for some wine and casual eats. The service was ok, felt a little bit rushed and one dish came a lot later than the others. However the food was delicious and brought back memories from when we went to Portugal and Spain. We also had bottle of wine which was very tasty.

Everything we ordered was delicious. The service was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised

So overpriced for the portions and quality... An odd attempt at fine dining and deeply boring dishes... Will stay home and make something better next time.

Food was amazing. I wish I had taken an order of calamari home. It was just that good. Great drinks. Great service. Ambience was lovely. Could have done with some music.

Hostess is very nice!!

The chicken, the potatoes, the sliders, the wine, the cocktails, everything here is delicious and high quality.

Food and wine were excellent! Great tapas spot to check out. The Piri Piri Fried Chicken is a must try as well as the Spanish Paella. Highly recommend and will be back.

The service is good, the waitress was very nice. In general I wouldn t recommend it tho cause for the quality and quantity it s overpriced. Food

Fantastic food - Jamon ibérico toast.. yum! Great wine selection.

Salt has always been a great place to go for dinner. Last night we dropped by at 940 to sit at the bar to have a drink and some dessert. We were told when we arrived that it was last call for the kitchen. We told them our intention and they said that was ok. We ordered two deserts and a bourbon. 10 minutes after the bourbon arrived I was told last call at the bar at 10 and that we would need to pay the bill it s now 955pm. Staff is scrambling to get the place closed even though there are still three tables in the dining room. They were being hovered over as well to have them move along. Needless to say, really lousy experience. I wonder what the owners think, I hope the staff got to the party on time.

The wagyu sliders and octopus were my favourites, the atmosphere is spacious and really aesthetically pleasing!

Its one of my favourite restaurants, but i was asked to wait for 30 minutes while there were available tables and asked only to sit the bar. I was just one person , not 2 that seems to be a problem for a table that could sit one person as well. Later i booked a table for 2 people through opentable, and went back but still was refused service because I was just one. Though at least i am dining at my favourite restaurant on opentable !!!

I recently visited Salt Wine Bar and had a truly mixed experience. The food was absolutely amazing, with flavors and presentation that exceeded my expectations. However, the service was a complete disaster, thanks to our waiter, Evan. First off, I was charged $15 for a mocktail, which is the same price as some of their alcoholic cocktails. When I politely asked about the status of our food after waiting for an hour, Evan got visibly annoyed. Throughout the meal, he never checked on us once. To make matters worse, when he did speak, it was barely audible. Its baffling how a place with such outstanding food can have one of the worst waiters Ive ever encountered. If you decide to dine here, I sincerely hope you dont end up with Evan serving you. The food deserves better service than this.

The food was really good unfortunately the service ruined the experience. Our server Evan had a very rude demeanor. He didnt check on us at all through out the entire meal and seemed annoyed if we asked him a question.

What an absolute Rip-Off of a restaurant! They might have atmosphere but that s all. The portion sizes were absolutely horrendous relative to the price. The chateruie board was an absolute freakin joke. 3 slices of Chourico from the supermarket and 3 slices of ham. Paella was pathetic, basically fried dead sticky rice with a few shrimp. I m a person with roots in the Iberian peninsula. I took my non Iberian family and I m embarrassed. This place is all brand no substance. Never again. How they re still in business is beyond me. I suspect the business model of the ripoff has been perfected.

Amazing. Salt staff accommodate our large group at short notice. they were great in suggesting dishes and quantities. The wine and food were all delish. The service was amazing for a large group. Thank you for making our evening so fun and memorable.

Great gem in the neighborhood. Great cocktails, impressive selection of Portuguese wines with very decent prices. The octopus is amazing, one of the best I had in my life and I am a fan of octopus I had it in different country and the one at Salt was beyond delicious. Great atmosphere, nice decor but the best is the service. Thank you Norm for the drinks and food suggestion.

Service, Food, Drink all perfect with and amazing atmosphere, Enjoy

What a great place. Great wine menu. All the food was just fingerlicking good.

Salt is nestled in Torontos vibey Ossington street is a delightful escape to European charm. You dine among the bottles with romantic ambiance and an impressive array of tapas paired with exquisite Portuguese wines. It s a haven for wine enthusiasts and foodies alike. The attentive service and intimate atmosphere make it an ideal choice for a date or girls night.

As per previous reviews- very tasty tapas and cocktails!! The staff are extremely knowledgeable about wines and their food. Truffle gnocchi tapas are a must !!! Food : 5/5

Loved this place! Will definitely be back! We ordered a charcuterie board (2 meats, 2 cheeses), paella, octopus, and piri piri chicken!

Dont miss out on Salt wine bar. I came here with friends a few months back. We shared tapas items and they were all delicious.

Salt Tapas Bar is such a gem! Beautiful interior, lovely attentive staff, delicious cocktails and food. Each dish was timed perfectly to enjoy a relaxed meal. Food presentation was stunning and the taste equally as good. The beef tartar, potato brava and burrato beet watercrest salad were our favourites, but the pirri chicken and scallops were really well done too. Definitely planning to come back! Thank you for the wonderful dinning experience.

I saw the great reviews and wanted to bring my fiance to a place that reminded us of our time in Spain having tapas... This was the complete opposite. Im pretty sure this is not a fine finish restaurant yet serving lobster ceviche with absolutely as minimal possible food you can serve someone is just embarrassing. When I showed other friends the portion that was served to us they asked where is the food? That was the main question the entire night after ordering multiple options and feeling unsatisfied by the end. The flavors were good but I cannot justify this experience with a good looking plate. I was not expecting to eat art but actual tapas at this restaurant. I was very embarrassed to bring my fiance for her birthday dinner here and I certainly will not recommend coming here, just like the server did not recommend anything when we asked for his opinion too I can see why now.

Food & wine is 10/10. I would recommend the scallop crudo, wagyu beef sliders, truffle gnocchi. Service was phenomenal! Food

Occasionally I eat a meal that tastes like an actual trained chef prepared it. Loved everything about this restaurant.

Came with my husband for the Valentine s Day Prix Fixe and we were far from disappointed. We had a charcuterie plank with truffled manchego, beet salad with burrata and watercress, scallop crudo, duck confit, paella, vanilla pot de creme and a dark chocolate cake. All spectacular and super flavourful. Service was friendly and efficient. Would absolutely return to try the regular menu as our server promised there were even better things to order.

Excellent food, great selection of wines and tapas. The service was incredible, our glasses were never empty and we food was spaced out properly. Would definitely come back.

Amazing food (the patatas bravas was like one of the best potato dishes Ive ever had), super friendly and attentive staff, great atmosphere!

What a fun place to have dinner. The tapas were amazing. The service is great and the atmosphere friendly. A great spot for a special, unpretentious, dinner,

Wonderful cocktails and love the spicy mezcal one. Excellent services from everyone in the restaurant, especially Norman! They were happy to custom make your cocktails! Food was good . Would love to try different dishes next time. Good stuff !

Delicious tapas. Nice ambiance.

Went last night and loved it! Sat at the bar which is beautiful. The food was amazing - the steak tartar was incredible. The service was spot on and so well paced. And Norm makes AMAZING cocktails!

It was amazing overall until they essentially kicked us out. For context we did call ahead to let the restaurant know that we were going to be late, and they explained that their was another table booked immediately after us and this would forfeit us from the full seating. I did check in open table though and there was availability to book a table of the same size immediately after us, so there really was no need to rush us. That being said we did not anticipating staying past our allocated time slot, but we were not expecting 10 minutes to the end of our seating to have our bill slapped on the table with no words from a person who was not our server and who we had not seen before this point on the evening. We also did not see the woman who was our server again and was only served by a man who was clearly the manager on duty hovering near us waiting for us to pay the bill while still having desert and wine on the table. We loved our waitress but think the polite protocol from the restaurant should be for her to tell us when the cut off for food would be, and that our time was running out rather than encouraging us to order more food, or becoming absent once condescending manager took over. Having warnings about time would have been effective by someone who you had a relationship fostered through the evening not a manager with no introduction. Overall food was amazing as well as the waitstaff who took care of us through the night, however management needs to learn some tact.

I made the reservation via open table and confirmed it when they sent me an email to do so a day before. I missed a call the day of to confirm but called them back and the man who answered was very condensing saying we have a table booked directly after your booking. We got there and everything was great- food, service, drinks, atmosphere and service. However, 10 minutes before our two hours cut off, a man -presumed to be the manager slaps the bill on the table and walks away. We never saw our original waitress again - who again was very lovely. This kind of dulled the experience because we still had drinks and dessert on the table making us feel rushed. I understand the premise of running a business but there could have been better communication and service from management. We never intended to stay past our allocated time but they could have asked us for last call or ask if they could get us the bill or even how it will be split. The simple toss of the bill on the table is simply unacceptable.

Great food, cocktails and ambience. Is pricey!

So good! Had v good drinks and v good mushroom gnocchi!

Was out for an impromptu dinner and happened upon Salt, our first choice did not have any tables available, and Salt was open. Ambiance was very nice, great lighting, table was comfortable (not too crowded, chairs were comfortable). We ordered wine, which was very good. We ordered 3 dishes, again, very tasty, but definitely on the small side. I know, tapas, you should expect small, sure but than I expect prices to match. The piri piri chicken, essentially 4 chicken nuggets, it was very tasty but for the price I expected more. And the paella, delicious again, but portion was tiny. The highlight was the burrata salad. We ordered the desserts- again very good but super small. It was a good meal, but I left feeling unfulfilled. The service was very good. I always make a value assessment and I do not feel we received good value for the price. I went home and made myself a sandwich. Sorry Salt, not planning to return. There are so many great options available, why settle. Next time I will do more research and book a reservation in advance.

Nice vibe, gnocchi and paella was delicious. Dessert was fantastic too.

Delicious food and amazing wine list

My friends & I made a reservation on OpenTable - a reservation for three. Upon arriving at the restaurant, the hostess led me to our table. She led me to two two-seater tables placed together and since the third individual in my party may not arrive, I told the hostess, thinking I was being courteous and that another party could use it and my third friend would just have to meet us later, that oh there will actually be two of us. I thought they might split the table. Instead, the hostess said then you have to sit at the bar. Slightly annoyed because I didnt want to have a bar seat and a potential third person was still coming, I saw another two-seater table and asked, can we sit there?. She replied, No, were full. In my mind, Im thinking... maybe I shouldnt have said anything and I would have a table. She then offered us a table, indicating that it would be cold in that area, that was beside the door and yes, it was particularly cold day so... I declined. We sat at the bar instead, which was still cold, and I watched the other table that I asked for sit vacant the entire night <3 (oh and my third person arrived). Anyway, the bartender was fantastic and so was the food. Just needed to air out my annoying reservation/seating experience.

Great tasting tapas! Paella and patatas bravas were delicious although I was surprised at how small the portions were. Nice atmosphere and service was good.

Went to the new years eve 5-course tasting menu and had a great time. The restaurant called me ahead to make sure I was fine with the menu options, and to check if I had any food allergies, which I thought was very thoughtful. The bar had a nice and cozy atmosphere, with a very friendly staff. The 5-course dinner didnt feel heavy at all. Great choice of menu combination!

Great food great vibe and fair prices!!

We had a lovely experience here. Vibes, food, and wine were all wonderful!

Great place for Spanish/Portuguese food. Wagyu slider is a must have. Plenty of choice s on its wine and cocktail list

Food and ambience was 5/5!! Taking a point off because it took quite a while for our server to take our order. Otherwise restaurant is really nice, has a nyc vibe. Would definitely recommend and can t wait to visit again!

Unbelievably rude management staff. Went for dinner with family (4 people) to give this a try. The waitress was great, food was on the pricey side but very tasty, and the wine list was also good. About $675 (with tip) for 4 people with 1 drink each, a nice bottle of wine and a number of tapas plates. However, evening ended in a very rude manner based on the way they literally kick you out. We apparently had because overstayed our table time limit (we werent keeping track) but we were floored by how embarrassing and disrespectful their approach was. The hostess/manager came up in a loud, rude manner and stated we need this table, you need to leave now. No polite warning, or subtle request for us to finish up. I understand that they have time limits but maybe a different approach be more beneficial. Instead of telling there guest in a loud voice we need this table now and you need to leave perhaps you could quietly say we have other guest waiting for this table, could I ask you to wrap up in the next 5 mins so we can seat them? Sometimes it s just the way it s presented. We will never go back to this restaurant. It ended on such a rude and embarrassing note. And a shame that this story will be what we likely share with others . Very disappointing.

Fantastic Atmosphere & food. Server really knew her wine and recommended fantastic options.

A bit overpriced, but good large portions overall. I would highly recommend the tartar, the truffle gnocchi, the calamari, and the octopus tacos. Good size portions. Not too small. We shared 7 plates among 3 of us and were very full and happy. Lots of delicious flavors.

Lovely spot. Beautifully made food.

Everything was fine, good food and average wine, but when the waitress came to tell us it was last call and we ordered a last drink, her attitude changed. She became salty, her tone was rude and sarcastic, she thew us the bill at the end (even though we were absolutely not the last clients in the bar). She removed our plates without asking if we were done when they were still food. Honestly, she ruined my night. Easily the worst service I had in Toronto. We were also a table of only racialized queer folks, maybe that was a coincidence, but it is still a very bad look for the establishment.

The staff were excellent here, attentive but also leaving you in peace. And the restaurant itself has a perfect wine bar atmosphere. The wine list is extensive and served via coravin so lots are served by the glass. The food (especially the sliders) was excellent and really hit the spot. My only complaint was the hilariously stingy portion of quince jelly on the cheese board.

First time at Salt Wine Bar. Took my best friend out for her birthday. Food was amazing, hot and served promptly. The Rose wine was absolutely delicious. Amazing customer service. Truly had a wonderful experience. We will definately be going back. Highly recommend this restaurant

Nice food, good service

Food was excellent. Loved every dish that we ordered.

First time going here and we were super impressed. Really quality food and great variety. The duck and pork dishes were amazing. Beet salad was probably the best Ive ever had.

Always excellent tapas.

Great food and service.

One of my favourite places to eat. Great Portugese wine selection as well.

First time here. Food was delicious and our waitress was amazing, which made the experience even better. Really appreciated that our water was constantly refilled and didnt even have to ask for it. Definitely will return!!

Really love this spot! Great food and cocktails, and wonderful service. I also love the atmosphere and don t think we have enough restaurants like this in Toronto!!

Great wine and decent food. Some food is better than others. Really enjoyed lobster dishes but menu rotates items. Beef sliders, paella, peppers, and crochets are good. Peri chicken lacks seasoning.

This place is highly underrated! Every dish we had was absolutely delicious and full of flavour. Although it s on the pricier side, it s definitely worth it and I would go back. We ordered the duck confit, croquettes, paella and sliders. Duck confit- delicious! Probably one of the best I ve ever had. Croquettes- very unique! They add caviar to it which is a great addition. Paella- it was good but given the portion size and price, I wouldn t order this again. Sliders- they were a lot larger than sliders and wagyu quality of the patty was exceptional! Overall great place for a date night that also has good drinks and friendly service.

Great place, great food.....but a bit pricy

Great food and wine list. They stock wine from the Azores

Great place. Tappas was tasty and the service super.

4.0/5 Cozy restaurant in the heart of Ossington! We visited on a Saturday evening. The restaurant is dimly lit with shelves of wine lining both sides. They have a wide selection of wines as their name would suggest and a tapas style menu. We were recommended to share 4-5 dishes between the two of us. We started with the Charcuterie which was a selection of 3 dried meats chosen by the chef. The crostini and meats were excellent together. Our next dish was the Red Prawn Ceviche. This was my favourite. It was very refreshing and seasoned wonderfully. The tortilla chips were very good as well. Then followed the Steak Tartare. This one was okay. The mustard and pickles were a tad strong for our liking. As our mains, we ordered the Smoked Iberico Pork Ribs, the Paella, and the Patatas Bravas. The ribs were seasoned well and so tender the meat fell off the bone. Yum! The Paella was cooked just enough with both seafood and bits of meat which was a nice combination. We liked that the rice wasn t over cooked. The Patatas Bravas was hot and crispy and the tangy tomato sauce was a nice compliment. We found the restaurant a tad too dark but otherwise, the service was great and a pleasant experience!

Incredible food. Almost every small plate was delicious and unique.

Salt Wine Bar is an experience that elevates your dining to a whole new level. With an upscale ambiance, it transports you to a world of refined elegance. The moment you step in, youre greeted by walls adorned with an extensive collection of wine bottles, creating the illusion of being in a sophisticated wine cellar. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a romantic date or a relaxing evening with friends. The wine list focuses on Spanish and Portuguese wines. Each bottle has been carefully selected to represent the rich wine heritage of these regions, promising a journey of flavors and aromas that is simply unforgettable. But the allure of Salt Wine Bar doesnt stop at the wines. It extends to their culinary offerings too. They serve small, tapas-style dishes that are perfect for sharing. Highly recommend the Wagyu Sliders and the Croquettes are worth trying as well Would be neat if they offered wine flights to taste.

I felt compelled to write a review of appreciation because my visit was exceptional! My first time at Salt, everyone I interacted with was wonderful. The bartender who sat me, the server who brought my food, and a warm gentleman who cashed me out (I assume is the manager or owner). Service was quick and friendly. Staff seemed genuinely interested in ensuring everyone in the restaurant was enjoying their time. I had the spinach+artichoke dip with an orange wine (which I ve never tried before) and both were great. Prices are decent as well. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the music isn t too loud it s a nice vibe. It doesn t take much to provide a good dining experience IMO, but I find there are a lot of Toronto restaurants that still manage to do it wrong. This restaurant IS NOT one of them. Highly recommend checking it out. I ll definitely be returning, with friends. 100 stars :)

Such a romantic ambiance at Salt Wine Bar! My boyfriend and I had a date night there last weekend. We started off with cocktails and then wine with dinner. The server was able to make perfect suggestions based on our preferences. The Wagyu sliders, steak tartar, and ceviche were mouthwatering. It was a delectable menu with many great options that we are excited to try on our next visit. I highly recommend Salt Wine Bar for your next night out!

Excellent menu. Hands down the best sliders in the city. Seriously deserves a Michelin star.

First time going there. Very attentive service, super assortment of wines and cocktails, beers also available. We had beet salad, cod croquettes, Wagyu sliders, olives and piri piri chicken it was all tasty. For dessert the chocolate mousse cake was very delicious the Americano coffee was good. It was very loud and the restaurant was only partially full.

The staff was dry, really hard to read them. I ve eaten Paella many times in my life and this was probably the worst I have ever had .I had to leave half behind. The chicken was also horrible, over cooked and dry. The portions where good sized though, the other dishes were good. Nice selection of wine and cocktails. Not worth another trip back.

Wish I had photos to share of the food but we ate it too fast because it was so good. Ambience, quality and pace of food were exceptional. Portions were far larger than expected for a tapas restaurant. Thank you so much to our waitress Sarah, you were amazing. I was unhappy with our grilled octopus and she was so kind and accommodating. 10/10 will be returning.

Food and service were both exceptional. A bit on the pricier side but well worth it.

Fantastic Spanish wine!

Dined last night and enjoyed all the food especially the scallops. Very enjoyable tapas well paced not rushed Highly recommend Not crowded seating Excellent wine selection

Fantastic food, fun atmosphere and wont break the bank..highly recommend!

My girlfriend brought me here for my birthday recently and it was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, the ambience and mood was sexy, and the drinks were amazing. Really made us feel like we were back in Barcelona. Highly recommend and will be returning in the future.

Enjoyed a nice New Years dinner at Salt Wine Bar. First time here and I must say the food was delicious. The Scallop Crudo was fresh, light and very flavorful. The Duck Confit was crispy and perfectly cooked. Safe to say I want to try there full menu now

Fabulous wagyu sliders

Had a great time here last night, heres what we ordered IBERICO CHORIZO MEATBALLS, very flavourful and meatballs were perectly moist, but be warned a tad satly because of the chorizo, loved the side sourdough toast with cheese. perfect to sop up the tomato sauce with..delish! BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN- it was crispy, juicy everything that you love about fried chicken and i loved the side of ranch dip , the hot honey had the perfect amount of sweet and mild heat TRUFFLE GNOCCHI- this was the show stopper, best gnocchi dish Ive ever had. Top notch CRISPY DUCK CONFIT- although the butternut squach puree and jus brought this dish together I found the duck greasy this was probably my least fave but it wasnt aweful , maybe just a bit too much in combination with the other items ordered. Overall the experience was great, the prices are fair for the portions you get. For the two of us this was more than enough unless you ordered a lighter dish you may be able to do 4 plates. The waiiter was attentive, knowledgible about the wines and overall a very pleasant. I am looking forward to coming back and trying other items on the menu.

Incredible experience treating our team to a group dinner here. A wonderful feast. Our favourite restaurant city.

We have been to Salt a number of times and each time he food has been great. However, this time I felt the service wasnt as good as in the past. It was slow and not very informative when we had questions around food and drink. (we had taken my parents and it was their first time there) Other than that it was a nice experience.

Excellent!, tasty food, good drinks, hip vibe. Pricey but worth it for a good night out or special occasion.

The vibe here was excellent. The foie gras was amazing. The cocktails were great.

Great food and drinks. Just be aware that if you can eat, you will have to order a bunch of things. As portions are small, Trust me, you will enjoy the food and atmosphere. Just beautiful

The restaurant has a rustic charm and a wonderful ambience. Majority of the tapas style pairing faired really well both in presentation and flavour. And a decent selection of wines. A great place for an evening out. The only qualm i have is for a place called salt the ribs and the pickles were strangely heavy on sugar.

I really wanted to love this place and I just didnt. Despite the beautiful interior that makes you feel like youre in a wine cave and the nice selection of Portuguese and Spanish wines, the service here left me extremely upset considering the price point of the menu. I was here two fridays ago with my friend. We got there for 8:30 pm, drinks were served. We then ordered our dishes. She ordered the patatas bravas and I, the truffle gnocchi. She received her dish shortly after and as for me, I didnt get my dish until about 10 pm. A whole hour and half went by without food. Worst part is that we didnt get to have our meals together and the server did absolutely nothing in the meantime to compensate for the extremely poor service. Ill also mention that the patatas bravas that my friend ordered tasted like frozen potatoes that you would buy from the frozen section in a grocery store. I wont be coming back and I sure as hell regret not having said anything during my evening here. Do better.

Great ambiance and an amazing selection of wine and tapas. Perfect for a date night.

Good wine. Very good food. Good service.

Good wine + tapas place on ossington. It is located off the busy area of ossington but the place is very charming and cute - perfect spot for date night. 5/5 on wine/drink selection - amazing selection of Portuguese wine 5/5 on service 4/5 on food - good but average

Lots of love in this eatery.... Food is interesting and fun... Service top notch

Had a lovely dinner at this unique place with floor to ceiling walls of wine bottles. Loved the ambience and the food!

We absolutely love Salt Wine Bar. The food is incredible. The fried chicken is some of the best I ve ever had! Chef David Kemp has created a menu that keeps you wanting more! The tapas style menu makes it easy to try everything if you go in a group. Lots of great sharing dishes. The cocktails are fabulous. I loved their take on the Negroni. Smooth and delicious! As a side not my wife forgot her sunglasses. Someone turned them in and the restaurant ensured we got them back. I think this speaks to the type of clientele that frequents Salt along with the high quality staff who make the experience at the high level that it is. We highly recommend Salt!

We celebrated one of our friends BD here and we really enjoyed it,super cool looking restaurant and great vibes, food portions are small but really reach in flavor, I.loved it as I really like small tapas.

Great food and service. Loved the atmosphere as well!

Came here with family on Saturday and had a great experience! Our server was so kind and knowledgeable, and she had great recommendations for us! We tried the fried chicken, the sliders, charcuterie, patatas bravas and the scallops - everything was amazing. I had the Toque Suave cocktail and it was delicious.

For a wine bar I expected a better tasting range of wines

Had a great evening: top shelf service and food that made us say Yes!

They gave us the tapas one at a time and that was so ideal and delicious and also all the table space would allow

Staff were very friendly and carefully explained every dish. Standouts were the crispy duck and jamon iberico

Celebrated a friends birthday here, and the food was delicious and the service was exceptional. My top picks from the menu are the truffle gnocchi, the paella, and the Wagyu beef sliders. Cute little place and the staff is super friendly and helpful.

The services rendered are really good! Professional staff, with a nice cellar-feel atmosphere. The only thing I didnt like was that the noise lvl within was simply too high to be hearing each other.

1st time here and we were blown away by the service and delicious food. Everything tastes great but the steak tartar and the chocolate terrine dessert just blew our mind. Service could not be more excellent. For drinks, highly recommend the smoky old fashion that is very rich but complex and flavorful and not heavy. Will absolutely be back.

2.5 stars...food was very okay at best and service was too pushy. Ambient was nice tho.

Great food, good service, even better drinks

Ive been here twice and would go again. Love the dimly lit atmosphere with walls like a wine cellar. The food portion sizes get larger the more expensive the dish Ive had the beef sliders, the duck and the gnocchi and enjoyed them all. The gnocchi is great for sharing. You dont know which dish will come out first, which keeps it interesting. Service varies. My first visit the server was a bit unfriendly, my second visit the server was extremely personable.

Cool ambiente but the food OVER PRICED in RIDICULOUS PORTIONS.

Perfect experience for a wine connoisseur or non-connoisseur like me. Impeccable and incredible service and food.... lets just say that I now believe in God because he created this place!

I had one of the best cocktails in my life ever and I m a cocktail connoisseur. Delicious stuff.

So Tasty and lots of selection of tapas. Particularly loved the wagyu mini burgers, scallop crudo & truffle gnocchi. I will come back!

Salt is just a wonderful evening experience you ll remember for so many good reasons. The great food with a well crafted staged menu, great wine list, an ambiance that adds a sense of wonder and comfort at the same time, impeccable service - all add up to a must try place on the TO food list. We had several tapas dishes and some gorgeous wine. We had the piri piri chicken, steak tartare, pork belly and more. Dessert was great. Overall, we just enjoyed the way the tapas menu is planned in stages. So it makes for a journey. Do try the martini. And book early. The place fills up pretty quick. The wine bottle walls and the candle light are a superb touch.

Went there last night to celebrate a birthday. Amazing food, cozy atmosphere, terrific service! This is becoming my go to place to enjoy special events :)

Really enjoyed the octopus, paella and Waygu beef sliders!

Found this place while walking on Ossington. Omg what a great surprise; the food is succulent the wines are unbelievable and service was flawless. I m definitely going back and recommending it !! The scallops crudo is on the photo. Every tapas is delicious!

Not great. Photos on site are very different than reality. Small portions. Better spots in the area.

Best tapas and wine selection in the city!

Had a take away meal and it was outstanding!!

My husband and I go to Salt for every one of our special occasions. A true, hidden gem of Toronto. Everything on the menu is fresh and delicious with so much flavour, I dont know how this restaurant doesnt have 5 stars on Google! Our favourites are the Patatas Bravas, Truffle Gnocchi, Seafood Pasta and the Lasagna Iberica is also amazing! We also love their desserts!

I had a great experience here yesterday. The service was quick and the staff seemed very kind and knowledgeable with the menu and wine selections. The food was the best part. You need to try the patatas bravas (w chorizo) and the paella.

Customer service was terrible, food was mediocre and overpriced

Excellent food, great service for a crazy Islington environment with tables on the road and sidewalks

Incredible food and drinks! Very delicious.

What a cute restaurant! We sat inside and the vibe was fantastic. All of our servers were very attentive. The food was incredible. We ordered the 3 cheese platter, shishoto peppers, chickpea salad, gnocci, patatas bravas and paella. The cocktails were delicious especially the cedar old fashioned. I would definitely come back again.

Amazing, friendly service. Fun menu with a variety of flavors, great for sharing!

A non-traditional tapas menu, but everything was fantastic. Great food, great wine, great service. Will be back.

Food was absolutely amazing! Would definitely return. I tried the wagyu sliders, truffle gnocchi, beet salad and red shrimp risotto. All items were delicious, no complaints!

Great tapas and wine. Friendly, helpful staff. Our first time here, but certainly not our last.

Cute hidden gem in Ossington. Friendly very knowledgeable staff. She suggested a delicious wine for us from just knowing the flavours and key descriptions we shared with her. Charcuterie boards are samples and must haves with your wine experience. Great date night spot or for a friends catch up. Variety of wines from portugal, spain. Must try if youre in the city.

Way too expansive for what you really get, even if the plates were overall good, but not more than that. Staff was completely overwhelmed and brought us our plates and wines in the wrong order, we had to put our glasses and some plates on the shelf behind us because they came too quickly / not paired with wines We felt we were pushed to make sure we would leave the table two hours after we sat.

The food was great but the service was quite poor. We were told we had to order all our food at once and that the kitchen would be mad at us if we decided we wanted to order more as the meal went on. So we ordered a few dishes and there wasn t even enough room on the table for everything. The server was also very aggressive when it came to upselling to the point where when we asked for a bottle of wine within our price range we were made to feel bad. Not an ideal place to go if you re looking for a relaxed meal.

Super busy spot on the weekend! My friends and I went there on Friday night for cocktails, wine & food. We ordered espressos, espresso martinis, mock-tails, cocktails AND Wine...So our drinks took a few minutes to make but that was expected with such a crazy drink order. The food was fabulous and servers were friendly and attentive. Cant wait to go back to eat more gnocchi, its a must-have!

Great atmosphere. Great wine and service.

Great little date night spot in the west end. Good wine list and food menu and good service. The food was average to good but nothing stood out as memorable hence the 4/5 stars. They are very busy so you feel rushed during meal to order and eat quickly for the next seating

World class amazing staff and bar tenders. I visited several time when I was in Toronto more often Norm makes killer cocktails and kitchen delivers.

Great atmosphere, wine and drinks menu were great, but overall food is nothing more than hors doeuvres being passed as tappas. You will spend over 100 dollars and leave starving. dishes were mostly cold, nothing from the grill, and lamb meatballs were freshly microwaved. Would not return for dinner.

Third visit. Great food, again, and an excellent wine list.

An amazing place, great atmosphere, the owner greets you and gives great suggestions about food and wine. The servers are very nice and quick and can suggest you the best wines to accompany your (delicious) food. The wine list is very extensive with mainly portoghese and Spanish wines. The food is tapas-style and everything we had was delicious (shared a charcuterie and a cheese board, papas bravas and a beef tartare which was amazing, quail egg on top and on the side a sort of cilantro butter that when mixed in the meat gave it an amazing taste.) It is a bit on the pricey side, but given the quality of service, food and wine we did not mind for the price. Definitely recommend it,ideal for a romantic date and generally for a very pleasant dinner experience.

Amazing little gem in the city. We thought we were dining inside a wine cellar. Food was very good and service was excellent. Must try if you like Portuguese/Spanish wines and tapas.

Excellent tapas, great wine selection. Very friendly staff.

Great Atmosphere and Incredible Food. Wagyu Sliders are killer, same with the Buttermilk Chicken. The churro Ice Cream is amazing. Your taste buds will thank you for going here!

Extensive wine menu, great iberian eats/small plates for sharing. Intimate low light ambiance thats fun for dates.

Some of the most delicious good Ive ever had. Highly recommended. We tried 6 different tapas and they are all very good. If I had to pick one item that is a must try, it would be the beef sliders.

Came here on a recent cold afternoon looking for a heated patio. We had the patio to ourselves, although the heater admittedly did not emit much heat. We enjoyed a selection of tapas with the highlights being the fried chicken and ribs. Staff were mindful of Covid protocols.

Amazing food! So yummy!
