    I haven't eaten there, and the reports from those I know who have are pretty much what you guys have said. However...and this is for any homesick Canadians out there...Salt House serves poutine. I know this because my Canadian boss lunched there a few weeks ago and has been talking about it ever since. She's even invited me to join her there in a tub o' poutine. I can't, ah, wait.

    For those of you who haven't been introduced to this dish: it's French fries topped with brown gravy and cheese curd. Evidently it is considered comfort food supreme by our friends to the north.

    Cheese curd. Be still, my salivary glands.

      Unfortunately, the poutine served at Salt House is dumbed-down version. It's served with white cheddar cheese instead of the yummy cheese curd. Indeed a proper poutine is fantastic. The best I've had was in Montréal at Au Pied de Cochon... The poutine had all the essential ingredients plus an extra bonus--a slab of foie gras. It was fantastic. Needless to say, I had to roll myself home after the meal. In fact, I think I'm still full.

    I've eaten there 4 times and each time has been better. My most recent visit was just fabulous. Go late (9:30 or later) to avoid the noise & the crowds. I don't return to many restaurants but this one is worth it.
