Description

You're sitting in a comfortable, attractive setting, drinking a delicious martini. In a little while, you know, an attractive person will bring you a plateful of Oysters Rockefeller topped with delicate spinach and Pernod sauce, and not long after that, a generous serving of charcoal-broiled sea scallops with lemon caper butter. Once you've indicated that you've finished this delicious and hearty dish, you'll be shown a huge tray crowded with many complicated and expertly prepared desserts. Are you in heaven? No. You are in Scottsdale, dining at the Salt Cellar. Relax and enjoy yourself.

  • 2011 | Best Underground Restaurant

    With little more than a door and a few blue awnings visible, this long-running restaurant looks less like the upscale seafood joint it claims to be and more like the kind of fast-food joint where disinterested, college-aged servers wearing eye patches would dish up greasy fish and chips. That's because most of The Salt Cellar is hidden underground in a cavernous dining room with no windows and only a skylight for natural light. The effect is a little eerie, but the chef's dedication to... More »

  • 2004 | BEST SEAFOOD

    Would you like to be under the sea, in an octopus' garden, in the shade All apologies to Ringo, but that's the first thing that comes to mind upon descending two floors into the ground to the nautical-themed, wood-paneled dining rooms of Scottsdale's renowned Salt Cellar Restaurant. Well, it's either that, or the last time we watched Sealab 2021. There's something about taking a meal in this odd, partly subterranean structure that's akin to supping with Doc and Captain Stubing on the Love... More »

  • 2003 | BEST SEAFOOD

    The best seafood in the Valley can be found in a dark room, buried in an underground building, across the street from a cemetery. But the owners of the Salt Cellar seem to understand that, when it comes to a fine tradition of excellent food, reasonable prices and a comfortable setting, it doesn't matter where the actual property is. So rather than go for a glitzy, high-profile location, these folks have kept the Cellar pretty much as it was when it first opened in 1981. What they save in... More »

  • 2001 | Best Seafood Restaurant

    The Salt Cellar, despite its funky, underground setting (careful navigating those dark stairs, particularly if you've been washing down your pre-dinner oysters, clams, shrimp or mussels at the bar), is completely serious about bringing us only the freshest, best-quality aquatic fare from around the globe. In fact, its comfy ambiance is one of the reasons we're hooked. Who needs frou-frou fittings with a multitude of daily market selections such as Canadian king salmon, Hawaiian mahi-mahi... More »
