Bread Salt - Washington, D.C.

There were 6 of us at dinner. We waited an hour and then meals came out 1 at a time. We had tickets for a show and were late. We watched many diners sit and wait for meals and then just leave the restaurant. We will not return.

We were looking forward to a fun dinner and ended up having a lousy experience at Bread Salt. On a Friday evening at 6 PM the restaurant was virtually empty but it was clear that the waiter had very little idea on how to provide even the most basic level of service. The wait staff seemed totally lost and unfamiliar with the notion of regular interactions with the guests. I am guessing the kitchen staff must have been equally overwhelmed as it took over 20 minutes to get additional pita bread to supplement the paltry three triangles we received with our hummus. Our meal after close to 40 minutes finally came out in piece-meal over another 15-minute period Sadly, only the clay pot dinners were actually hot; the scallop entrée and the shrimp scampi entrée, while tasty, were lukewarm. It was such a shame that the wait staff wouldn't check-in with the various tables to even provide fresh water refills. I won't recommend this restaurant to anyone until significant changes are made in their ability to provide reasonable service.

I recently visited this restaurant and had a very disappointing experience. The orange juice tasted like it came from a can and my eggs Benedict were not prepared as I had requested. Instead of being served on a toasted English muffin with traditional Hollandaise sauce, the eggs were fried and placed on regular bread with a questionable yellow liquid resembling melted American cheese. Additionally, my husband's toast was cold and as hard as a rock, indicating that it had been sitting out for some time. The slow service also added to our overall dissatisfaction with the dining experience.

Despite the restaurant being empty, the service was awful and the food was not hot. Overall, it was a terrible experience.

I ordered an iced coffee and was surprised to find a blueberry floating in it. Our sandwiches took 50 minutes to arrive, despite the restaurant being empty. We will not be coming back.
