The Portland Phoenix has published a review of The Salt Exchange.
And Salt Exchange is good enough if you are going to treat the little people who make your life meaningful to a nice dinner out. They even open early for dinner — at five — a family-friendly touch. For adult fare, Salt Exchange could do with a bit more seasoning. Children like to experiment, and the cuisine at Salt Exchange is experimental as well. Sometimes that method is slow to achieve its best results. The Salt Exchange clearly has, as Brooks would appreciate, grand designs and high ambitions. It may take a bit more time to get there.
I am not a fan of Brian Duff’s food reviews anyway, but I thought this review was particularly harsh and condescending. Whatever valid points he may have were lost in his pretentious writing technique.
I wholeheartedly agree.
