Early reviews are positive, with compliments to the friendly service, atmosphere and food.
The last tenant to occupy this space was Spanish restaurant El Porron. The owners of The Salt have renovated the space, and dedicated several Instagram posts to their construction process.
The asking rent for the space, according to @TradedNY, was $140 per-square-foot per year. At 1,750 square feet, that makes the annual rent $245,000, or a bit over $20,000 per month.
