Menu

“AN UNCOMPROMISING APPROACH TO FRESH SEAFOOD”, this has been the goal of the Salt Cellar Restaurant for over thirty five years. The Salt Cellar was a pioneer in flying fresh seafood into the desert. We are involved in a constant search and spare neither effort nor expense in finding the finest and freshest seafood available. Outstanding quality is not an option but a mandate at the Salt Cellar Restaurant.”
