"This was the second time dining at Salt Charcoal since an overall pleasant experience for my birthday dinner back in November last year. The same issues that I let slide last time still remained and we had the same server who I assume is the main issue. We have some food allergies and had called prior to make sure that they were flexible and aware how to prepare. The receptionist assured we would be fine and they are accommodating. Back in November we had received food with no modifications and had to sadly send it back although it was beautifully presented. We waited a while again before a new one came out and we thought ok all is good. Fast forward to two nights ago and we have the same waiter. He was still unsure of almost every ingredient in the dishes and was not confident in any answer often saying yes then oh no wait.. yes. At this point we made sure that they could prepare what we had last time. When it came out it was missing several ingredients that are gluten free already... We had to then request that those ingredients that were missing be added back. Again the food is delicious here and I love the presentation. It is just not a fun experience when your service is unsure what to do and doesn 't seek immediate help from the kitchen or other staff. Allergies are no joke and it should be the responsibility of the staff to be aware of what they can and cannot serve their clients."

"I never write reviews, but this was one of the worst experiences I've probably ever had. Avoid this place unless you want to spend an offensive amount of money on TGIF quality food, while also being ignored by all the servers. It was shocking how bad the experience was. I set this up for Father's Day. It rained for about 15 minutes, and the restaurant poorly prepared for the rain. All the tents were unsecured and everyone got rained on, and the food got destroyed. When we asked for the check, the waiter said “nothing we could do about the weather!” However, they provided us no recourse for the fact that our meal was completely ruined along with our clothing. They charged us full price plus 20% automatic tip(did I mention we didn't get water once). Honestly, I felt robbed. Avoid, ignore, run, unless you want to self inflict harm and ruin your day."

"I love Serea. But we had a server who overstayed, overshared, even asking the women at the table their age. We would tip more if he just left. We would not ask for things, fearing he would stay forever if engaged. The coursing of the plates was way off. The soup was bordering on cold. We waited an eternity for the desert. Their was also a prefix only option that the restaurant did not reveal on website or over the phone. It made the meal prohibitively expensive, $1000 for five, and a mandatory turkey serving even for our vegetarian. The turkey meal as a whole was over salted. And the desert pretty, but not good. I have had many wonderful meals at Serea, unfortunately Thanksgiving was overpriced and poorly done. It is only time I felt we were not a special restaurant, but more like tourists at an overcrowded hotel."
