John Salt opened in November with Ben Spalding at the helm
-
With Ben replaced with Neil Rankin
-
Looks like John Salt have pulled another Ace out of their sleeve with this new signing
-
With Rankin's renowned expertise with all things meat and barbeque and some rather exquisite Asian influenced dishes
-
The place is a haze again with recent glowing reviews in Timeout and the Metro
-
At off peak times there is enough space for walk ins
-
With the staff (while pleasant) are so casually dressed it's hard to work out who was the waitress and who were customers shuffling there way back to their seats
-
The set up seems very in tune with high turnover with the communal tables and stools
-
This can be partially forgiven though as the food is a revelation
-
The grilled prawns to be eaten whole were crunchy and flavourful
-
The parmesan and rich egg yolk coming together well with the BBQed leeks
-
12) and skirt steak with kimchi hollandaise (£
-
To say this is just 'good pub food' is doing it a tremendous disservice
-
Using the best and freshest produce (most from Cornwall) that fits hand in hand with the ambience of the place
-
The pork hash is something of pure indulgence
-
The kimchi hollandaise is the perfect accompaniment with the sauce bringing a tang that complements the steak beautifully
-
With frites and keveral salad on the side as well we were more than adequately fed
-
The food here is a great advert for the fantastic produce available from Cornwall
-
Half the battle is already won
-
The rest is brought with a menu and style of cooking you will struggle to find in the rest of the UK
-
On a Saturday lunch I didn't expect to be there for nearly 2 hours with only 2 courses down
-
So unfortunately had to forgo the dessert that I was looking forward to
-
That said I highly recommend a visit if you haven't already been the food here is really on the money
-
What you get is a new take on unfussy
-
What lets John Salt down is its layout
-
A dining mezzanine and a ground floor bar with communal tables
-
Distressed look that is being churned out for the young
-
My other gripe is with the service
-
Tempura oysters with beef fat mayo (£
-
7) or Onglet steak with kimchi hollandaise (£
-
A beautiful tartare mixed with crunchy Nashi pear
-
The fact that the restaurant survived potential ruin is clear testament to Neil Rankin and his remarkable food
-
Also has its own bar with warm and friendly staff on hand at all times
-
The John Salt kind was delivered in a white fish shaped jug that made a mildly amusing glugging sound when pouring
-
Com/2013/06/08/simply one of the best meals of our lives john salt 131 upper st islington london n1 1qp/
-
John Salt is a very trendy stop with an interesting food menu
-
The main section at as you enter is occupied by long communal wooden tables
-
Then the other side of the bar has plush leather couches and chairs and custom made lamp shades which hang from the ceiling emblazoned with the words &ldquo
-
Here the cocktails are fresh and sophisticated
-
Offering such subtle delights as a Mint Julip which is simple and delicious
-
I had a side of salt and pepper squid alongside my spare ribs which was particularly indulgent but incredibly tasty
-
John Salt is a great place to come to have drinks with your friends on a Friday or Saturday night
-
They play a good selection of house and pop music and the ambiance is really nice
-
I had no expectations but that sandwich was really great
-
The food leftover from other parties were not cleared out and because there were no other tables available we had to sit at a dirty table
-
I was impressed with their array of craft beers and creative cocktails
-
Will be back in summer to enjoy the breeze through the open folding glass doors with the tempting bar food options
-
Their cocktails are really original and tasty
-
Happy hour makes is very accessible
