Pink Salt Restaurant

We've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally decided to try it during restaurant week. It's a very cute and intimate space that would be great for a date night. We got some pisco sours to start, which were great and had cute llamas on them! However, unfortunately that's about all the good things that I can share about this place.We picked from the SRW menu but unfortunately they had run out of the potato fish we had our eye on and had to settle for an asparagus salad. While it tasted ok, getting asparagus when you were craving potatoes was not exactly my idea of a good time.It sadly went downhill from there - the main I got was a fish on some kind of risotto. I honestly had to block it out of my brain cos it was that disappointing. The fish was both fishy and flavorless at the same time, and was a pretty meager portion for the price. There were also raw tomatoes on there for some reason. The risotto was just under seasoned mush. I could not finish my meal and left hungry.Ending on a somewhat better note, for dessert, I got the passion fruit cheesecake which was quite tasty.I also wished the menu and service did more explaining about how this food is representative of inspired by Peruvian cuisine.

We came here on the last day for Seattle Restaurant Week (SRW) to celebrate a friend's birthday. Our party of four were given regular menus. When I asked about the SRW menu we were was told that it was invalid on Saturdays but there was no mention of this anywhere. If I had known earlier then we would have dined elsewhere honoring the event.We stayed and thought we'd try it out. Our food was presented beautifully but quality lacked. I barely had any seafood in my arroz con mariscos, it was mostly rice. The only mussel I had was cracked with nothing in it. The dish tasted bland. The lomo saltado was good and so was the grilled octopus but on the small side. My son had the fish and chips from the kids menu. The fish was dry and some of his fries were burnt.Overall disappointing experience since the birthday celebrant was not acknowledged when indicated on our Open Table reservation. Too many misses to not warrant a return.

Pink Salt is an excellent Peruvian restaurant in the Magnolia neighborhood in Seattle. They offer an upscale, inviting atmosphere. They offer a variety of Pisco cocktails (Pisco being the national liquor of Peru). I had the pulp a la parilla (grilled octopus) and arroz con mariscos (rice with seafood). Both were notably delicious, but the pulpo (both the appetizer and in the seafood) really stood out. It was perfectly tender and tasted great. The portions are plentiful compared with similarly upscale places, and the bartender was friendly. A new favorite!

Pink salt is a hidden gem in Magnolia. My first time here I had the smoked Seabass & risotto and I couldn't believe how incredible the flavors were. The Tallarines Huancaina (steak and fettuccini) is the ultimate comfort food... absolutely delicious. Good ambiance, especially in the bar, good cocktails, and large portions!

Magnolia has been, in my mind, not the hotbed for restaurants. True, that Petit Pierre started there, and became to popular, that it was purchased and now it's becoming a small local chain of nearly top-notch French food. No, I never thought of this area as a place to visit.Pink Salt defies that thinking, by planting in the middle of Magnolia, a wonderful eatery, which is dreamy goodness. It feels cozy, intimate, yet spacious in the right way. The ambiance is all about the salt... the food is perfectly seasoned.. and it's Peruvian Inspired. my food order was Lomo Saltado, which is Silver beef tenderloin stir-fried and served with red onions and tomato. This has rice and potatoes also. It was delicious. I mean, I'm definitely interested in coming back, and if this is the start to a nice row of restaurants, then I'm all for it.

My family and I dined frequently at Pink Salt for the last two or three years and enjoyed it every time , but the quality and variety of the dishes has deteriorated significantly now.We recently tried their new offerings like the seafood stew dish, but it was poorly executed, and the rest of the dishes were bland and overcooked. The Ceviche is the only dish still good. Although service was great and the ambiance ok, the quality of the food is poor.

I came here with my partner on Valentines Day. They offered a course meal for $85 per person, where you pick one thing each from 3 categories: Appetizer, Entree, Dessert. You order everything in the very beginning. The food was phenomenal. The Arroz Con Mariscos had the perfect balance of rice, vegetables, and seafood; they absolutely did NOT skimp on the seafood portions. I had enough to take home for another decent meal. Super pleased. Unfortunately, our server basically forgot about us after our entree. She brought spoons to our table for dessert and we sat there for around 45 minutes waiting for dessert. We eventually flagged her over after a table behind who was sat 30 minutes after we got there got their dessert first. She then told us that our dessert wasn't coming out because they ran out and we needed to pick other options... even though we ordered everything in the beginning. I understand sh*t happens but where was the communication? Why were we not told this until we flagged her down...? And then she told us that she didn't forget about us, because she was "figuring it out". Ma'am. I'm a server and I KNOW that you forgot about us, you didn't check in or even look at our table once when you were walking by for 45 minutes. We're all human and I know things happen but accountability is so much better than a lie. She then brought out the wrong dessert for me. I flagged her over again and asked for the one I ordered. She told me that she could "put passion fruit on top if you want." So bizarre. I had ordered a passionfruit flan. I had to justify this request by saying I do not like the texture of coconut shavings (she brought out coconut flan). My partner got the cookie things... don't get those. Super dry. TLDR: amazing food. Service went downhill extremely quickly. The price point was not worth the service.

Pink Salt is a hidden gem within Magnolia. There are not a lot of restaurant options in Magnolia that are worth going our of your way for, but Pink Salt is the exception. The food was delicious. Highly recommend getting the Yuca Rellana to start. The Pesto Rissotto with Tenderloin was also delicious. I only had a glass of wine but they had some tasty looking cocktails on the menu that are probably worth a try. The food was on the pricier side but it was cooked to perfection. We made reservations but were surprised that the restaurant was largely unoccupied on a Saturday night. It was nice that the restaurant was quiet but it was hard to get a sense for what the ambiance was intended to be. Great choice for delicious food and a nice dinner out though!

Great spot for a date night. We went on a Thursday around 7:30 and there was live music (singer). Food was really good. I had the risotto with cod. Tasted amazing. Serving was huge (yay leftovers) and the risotto was piping hot.Service was prompt and attentive. Everything came out quickly. Overall had a great time and will be back. Vibe was little old school but it's nice and you can tell everything is done with a lot of care. I looked at some of the recent negative reviews and they're a little silly. One person complained about going to dinner on Valentine's and there being a prefix menu? That's just standard. Anyways check it out for yourself.

The food was delicious, although not as healthy as we thought it would be with ordering salad and fish. The salad was quite unique flavors, and in my opinion was the best part of the meal. The black cod was soft like butter, but loaded with oil/butter and did not feel too lean. it was also sitting on top of a large bed of risotto that tasted closer to mac & cheese than a high end restaurant. The ratio of fish to carby risotto did not feel balanced. The dessert included shortbread cookies, normally a favorite. However, these cookies were abundantly dry and crumbled a bit too easily. To top it off, they were coated in sugar to an excessive extent, and I can say we decided not to finish dessert. The staff were friendly. Overall, I can say it wasn't terrible and the food was somewhat unique, but with the exception of the salad, What do you think of this review funny it's not a place I would be running to go back to.
