(Traducido por Google) Después de recorrer las calles de New Hope, busqué en internet una reserva para almorzar, ya que teníamos planeado ir a Peddlers Village ese día. No encontré disponibilidad en Salt, pero el restaurante estaba justo enfrente, así que decidimos echar un vistazo.
Vi que había varias mesas libres en la terraza, pero mis amigas y yo siempre preferimos sentarnos en la barra, y como acababan de abrir, había muchos asientos libres en su pequeña barra.
Nos sentamos y casi de inmediato notamos que la camarera parecía un poco preocupada. No por nosotras, sino que parecía bastante agobiada preparando cócteles para las mesas que ya estaban ocupadas. Prácticamente no nos hizo caso durante unos tres minutos. De hecho, nos quedamos mirándonos, casi sin atrevernos a decirle nada.
Poco después, por fin nos hizo caso y nos explicó que estaba muy ocupada, intentando ponerse al día, y que nos atendería enseguida. Intercambiamos algunas bromas con ella, lo que pareció tranquilizarla un poco. Después, nos oyó hablar de algunas bebidas de la carta, y mientras seguía preparando otros pedidos, empezó a responder a nuestras preguntas.
Cada una probamos dos cócteles diferentes y ninguna tiene nada malo que decir; de hecho, los disfrutamos muchísimo. Cabe mencionar que, poco después de que nos prepararan las primeras bebidas, la camarera se puso al día y por fin empezó a charlar con nosotras, e incluso nos sonrió.
Le pregunté qué debía pedir para comer y me dijo que tenían la mejor hamburguesa de New Hope, ¡así que le creí!
¡Madre mía, no exageraba! De hecho, puede que haya sido la mejor hamburguesa que he comido en mis 46 años de vida. Mi novia pidió un trozo y tenía una pinta horrible; ¡si la hubiera matado, habría acabado muerta!
Mi otra amiga pidió una ensalada; pobrecita, dijo que le gustó. No le resto puntos por eso, porque era una ensalada y fue un error por su parte siquiera intentar comer sano.
En resumen, volvería a comer en Salt sin pensarlo dos veces; probablemente fue mi comida favorita de todo el fin de semana.
Y lo que hizo nuestra visita aún más especial es saber que, al irnos, sentimos que no solo habíamos logrado conectar con esa camarera tan estricta, sino que además, me gusta pensar que todos disfrutamos mucho de la compañía mutua.

After walking the streets of new Hope, I was scouring online for a reservation I could make for lunch, as we were supposed to go to peddlers Village that day. I didn’t see any availability for salt, however, the restaurant was just across the street so we decided to take a peek.
I noticed quite a few tables on the exterior patio were available, however, my girlfriends, and I always prefer to sit at the bar, and being that they had just opened there were plenty of seats available at their small bar.
We sat down and almost immediately noticed our bartender seemed a little perturbed. Not by us, but she seems quite overwhelmed, making cocktails for the tables that were already seated. We really weren’t acknowledged at all, for probably a good three minutes. We actually just kind of kept looking at each other, almost afraid to say anything to the bartender.
Shortly, after that, we were finally acknowledged, she explained she was very busy, trying to catch up, and would be with us shortly. We exchanged quick jokes with her, which seems to put her slightly at ease with us. After that, she had overheard us girls discussing certain drink drinks on the menu, and while she was still working on other orders, she started answering our questions.
We each try two different cocktails while we were there, none of us have anything bad to say about the drinks, in fact, we enjoyed them thoroughly. And I should also mention, not long after our first drinks were made, the bartender was caught up and finally started engaging with us, and even cracked a smile.
I asked her what I should order for lunch and she told me that they have the best burger in new Hope so of course I took her word for it!
Man, she was not exaggerating, in fact, it might have been the best burger I have ever eaten in my entire 46 years of life. My girlfriend asked for a piece and it looks could kill, she would’ve been 6 feet under.
My other girlfriend ordered a salad, God help her, she said she liked it. I’m not taking away any points for that because it’s a salad and that was a bad move on her part for even trying to eat healthy.
All in all, I would absolutely go back to salt in a heartbeat, it might have been my favorite meal that entire weekend.
And what made our visit even sweeter is knowing that when we left, we felt like we had not only cracked that rigid bartender, but I’d like to think we all really enjoyed & appreciated each others company!
