Salt & Whiskey

Mick was wonderful the other day helping us with recommendations and great service. Tyler and Ryan were sweet and welcoming too! Can't wait to come back to try the midnight rider.

Overall an enjoyable and relaxing place to enjoy a cocktail. Intimate setting with very friendly and prompt service. Menu is limited, but the cocktails were well made.

Located inside the Horton Grand Hotel, this fancy looking restaurant caught our attention. Sadly, it was all looks and not much to brag about in terms of food and service.My friend and I stopped by for lunch last Friday (during Comic-Con). The restaurant was relatively empty when we came for lunch. Our server handed us the menu, filled our water glasses, and just disappeared. About 20 minutes later, we had to hunt her down to place our order.Since it was Comic-Con week, the lunch menu was very limited. We ordered a Margherita Flatbread and Shrimp Tacos to share. The flatbread was EXTREMELY GREASY! This was interesting, as you wouldn't expect this type of pizza to be greasy because there were no pepperoni or bacon that would explain the grease. We concluded that the grease had to have come from the sauce or they heavily greased the bottom of the flatbread. It was awful. I typically gravitate towards the Margherita Flatbread because it's relatively healthy in comparison to other pizzas/flatbreads. Clearly, this was a far cry from "healthy." In addition to the grease, the flavor of the sauce was just bad.The shrimp tacos were ok. You can't really mess up this dish unless you overcooked the shrimp. The shrimp were grilled and were a tad bit greasy.Overall, we were very disappointed with our lunch. The only good thing was the server did not charge us for the sparking water. We both asked for lime and she said they ran out of lime; they only had one rotten piece(it was brown, not green). Interestingly, our tacos miraculously came with 2 pieces of lime and they weren't rotten! Here's a tip: If it's rotten, don't serve it!

Thought this place would have great drinks because of the environment and the more expensive prices. We ordered and tequila and gin drink, thinking it would be refreshing. The drinks are gross. Gross!!! Very sugary it almost has a chemical taste to it. It tastes like a packet of crystal light was dumped here. Never coming here again!The service was also poor. We had to approach our service for our drink order to be taken.

A great "bar" bar. Old school. Photos show it right. Staff is great too. I'm going back for sure.

We jumped off the Old Town Trolley and walked right in for breakfast. It was unassuming for breakfast since it's name had Whiskey in it. The trolley manager explained the name meaning came from the two imports-then it made sense. This restaurant is located inside the Horton Grand Hotel. Wow! The hotel and restaurant are a cool spot to check out. We ordered coffee which was very delicious. Overnight oats were topped with berries and came with condensed milk, brown sugar and honey. We only used the honey. We ordered the breakfast with three eggs, toast, 2 slices of perfectly cooked thick bacon, one sausage patty and potatoes. It came with a side of butter but the toast had the butter already caked on, which was disappointing. Why give so much butter if there isn't anything to butter up? Definitely an oversight by the kitchen. After your meal walk next door to the courtyard area of the hotel.

Overall service was great, food was delicious. My family and I actually ate there twice during our visit to San Diego. They have live music on select nights. We loved the ambiance too. The bar had an old school feel, with a huge selection of Whiskey. Not a beer bar, they have some, but their specialty is whiskey and cocktails.

So good. We really enjoyed our time here. Nothing but good vibes and good options. Pretty good location and top-tier staff. Everyone there was so nice.

Vibes were great, food was great, but ordering the spring bowl (comes with 2 pieces of tofu) which is VERY underwhelming. Ww all know how inexpensive tofu is... Please consider adding more tofu to this dish for a more balanced meal and value.

Excellent food, drink, service (thanks Ruby!) and relaxed ambiance steps from the Gaslamp scene. Much recommended!
