Salt + Ko

It grieves me to give a negative review on a Black owned company, however management wasn’t present to give direct back to nor was there an email that I could share my concerns with. I recognize that serving as larger party can be difficult, so we packed our patience for our most recent visit although we weren’t visiting during “peak “ hours. Initially things were moving a reasonable pace, but shortly after our entire 11 member party was present, things pretty much hit an abrupt halt. Our server took an order of drinks, after 25 minutes of no update , I interfered about my drink order. She immediately said that she was heading to grab it . She brought 2/11 drinks out. 🙃 In the midst of only receiving only 2 drinks, food begin to roll out. The first batch of food included cold catfish, a cold waffle and additional pancakes, that we were unable to attach to an order. After the time in which it to received food the bare minimum expectation is that the food would be hot. After the first batch of food underwhelming some of the guest, we requested to speak to a manager. Our waitress left to get the manager… only to arrive 15 minutes later and explain there was no manager on site today/during this shift. 🥴 She attempted to explain that there was confusion with the new way to input drinks and she had intended to ask the table for their drink orders again… 45 minutes after the initial order placement. I ordered the strawberry Cheesecake waffles, the menu indicates that it includes cheesecake bites, and strawberry drizzle. I ordered a side of turkey sausage. I must have missed the memo, but my order included chicken. I wouldn’t have ordered the sausage had I know it included chicken. I would highly recommend the head chef considering a different brand of turkey sausage or eliminating the options. The turkey sausage was awful! Cold and flavorless! Another bartender, Ty came over and took a separate drink order and our entire party received drinks within 15 minutes. Ty was most definitely the silver lining for our visit. At the tail end of our visit, the karaoke was starting… while we were able to enjoy and sing a long a bit we ultimately chose to leave . I’m wishing all the best to this business and I hope the right person receives this feedback and create systems that prevent future guest from having a similar experience.

Talking about the best Duo. Brie and Rell made my first time experience memorable.! My drink perfection. Strong, but tolerable yet favorable. Those Alfredo wings with broccoli 🔥🔥 Gumbo wings never heard of but they didn’t disappoint. So fresh and delicious. Presentation everything. They both held it down on a Friday, day shift. I will be back and I expect to see the perfect Duo B&R.

Nearly empty only 1 person working bar and tables. Menu not updated server said no longer serving holy shitake but still listed on menu. No drink menu exist. Served a toasted hoagie bun with the Alfredo pasta why not just serve garlic bread. Overall disatisfied with the environment, service and meal. Will not recommend.

Bunch has an amazing vibe, played good music and the whole team is so welcoming and kind. The chef is talented the food was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend checking them out!

This was literally worst breakfast me or my family ever had. Ciara was the BEST waitress ever but the chef should be ashamed. Our grits and catfish were burnt. You could smell it before even attempting to taste it. There were no fresh eggs. My brother and son wanted eggs over easy and after waiting over an hour for their food, were told that the eggs were frozen. My son's eggs were literally oozing water. My son's pancakes were black. He didn't eat them or the eggs. I didn't eat my food after having to send it back for being burned. Some of the shrimp were old. It was bad. I left my food as did my brother and my son and daughter. We all left hungry. My brother is now about to fry fish so we can eat. Just terrible. Wasted over $300 I really wanted to support black business but this was not it.

Service is great and food is delicious. Had dinner, lamb chops are 🔥 and went back next day for brunch and it was just as delicious! Prices are reasonable - great vibe!!!

THE WORST ! I’ve been twice. They’re on all the sites - Groupon, Marriott, Skymiles. The 1st time my food was prepared wrong & they overcharged me but I gave them grace with a 4 star rating because the food was decent; and obviously they’re a struggling business. No grace this time. THEY REFUSED TO HONOR MY BRUNCH VOUCHER. Initially, server provided the attached 2 page menu, but when I informed that a Groupon would be used…. she provided a hand-written slip of paper with approx. 5 items, no prices. She said I was entitled to a drink, but the owner would not honor the $70 value of the Groupon and I could request a refund. No wonder their establishment is empty most of the time.

If I could provide zero stars I would. This was one of the most unprofessional and upsetting dining experiences my family has ever had. My elderly aunt made a lunch reservation weeks in advance for my mother and me on Christmas Eve at 1:00 p.m. A $25 deposit was taken, confirming the reservation. When we arrived at the scheduled time, the restaurant was completely closed. We spoke with hotel staff, who indicated that the restaurant was a separate entity, were kind and clearly caught off guard themselves. They contacted the bar manager and owner and asked us to wait in the hotel lobby. After some time, a staff member returned and said she had spoken with them and requested my aunt’s information, assuring us that the owner would call her within minutes to fix the situation. That call never came. At that point, we had no choice but to leave. Even if the restaurant had opened, there would have been prep time and my mother who is diabetic and cannot wait to eat. We left my vehicle at the hotel, rode with my aunt, and thankfully found lunch elsewhere. Hours later, still no call from the owner. When we returned to the hotel, my aunt went back inside to see if anyone could help. A manager was present and refunded her deposit. While the refund was necessary, it does not excuse the lack of accountability or communication. This was handled terribly. The owner should have followed through on his word and contacted her personally. Reservations should never have been available and deposits should never have been accepted, if the restaurant was not going to be open. Elderly guests do not make last-minute plans, and it is completely unacceptable that no one checked the reservation book or contacted her in advance to correct this error. Christmas Eve is not the day to leave people, especially elderly guests with medical conditions, standing in a hotel lobby wondering why a confirmed reservation doesn’t exist. This experience was careless, disorganized, and deeply unprofessional.

Omg! My line sisters and I went to Salt + Ko after our meeting. We had an absolutely marvelous time. The food was delicious and the drinks were heavenly, especially my lavender lemon drop( my new signature drink) and to the prima server/waitress Andy!! We love her!! Can't wait to have another Andy shot!! . I'll be returning real soon Monica S.

The food is flavorful and cooked well, the service was great. The owner is very personable and friendly, and we felt very taken care of. The space feels a little large, but it is modern and clean, and has some really cute little loungey areas; one seating area with a couch is near a fireplace, and it's really cute over there. The bar is lit nicely. For drinks, we had the owner's recommendation, which is called "bath water." Inspired by Salt Burn, this cocktail was made with a smoky mezcal and coconut water, rimmed with coconut shavings. It was smoky and sweet and tasty. I also had a basic vodka soda, and it was a nice pour. I do wish they had a selection of signature drinks, but if you know what you like, they've got you covered. For food, I had the lamb chops and green beans, and my friend ordered the salmon, green beans and mashed potatoes. Everything was seasoned very nicely and cooked well; the zip sauce was really yummy on the lambies. Both of us really enjoyed the green beans which come with carmelized onions on top, and were a standout side, where at many restaurants I feel like they're either under or over-cooked and lack any flavor. Mashed potatoes were good. I was excited to hear that they'll be trying more specials coming up soon; I'd love to see what they come up with because their catering is so good. I think this is an ideal place for lunch right now; if I worked in Southfield, I'd be here more often, as there aren't too many places like it. It would also be great for happy hour. I will say that I think the lighting was a bit too bright for dinner; I'd suggest they dim those lights. We were also there during the transition from dinner to R&B night on a Saturday night, and that time between 9 and 10:30 is a little odd - seating is removed, lounge furniture is brought in, and a DJ sets up and begins to play music. I think it would be ideal if they broke the space up a bit with more permanent soft seating, but I imagine the logistics are tough going from lunch all the way to late night. I do love that they have a big dance floor - this would be a great place to have a birthday party, and it looks like some promoters are packing the place out for events. I'd love to see that continue. Overall, a good experience, and I'd love to try one of their nightlife parties.

To be honest, I have been trying to have this culinary experience for months. I won a gift card at an event in the spring and was so excited to try them out. They are located in the Radisson hotel. Please note that they are closed on Sundays and some holidays. So, today was the day! I had lunch on Veterans Day. I was excited they were open. First, The Good: 1) I was greeted by Andi/Sandy as soon as I walked in although she was helping other patrons at another table. She was holding down the restaurant all by herself with five parties. Bravo beautiful! 2) SALT + KO has tons of seating options from cozy fireside chairs, couches, high top and regular tables and the bar. They also have a private room. The restaurant also has a DJ stand and dance area. They have a schedule of nightly events Monday - Saturday. My lunch selection was their Shrimp Po' Boy and their 4 Cheese Mac & Cheese. They were both delicious. I had enough of the Truffle Mac to take home for later. Now, The Bad: 1) It was 63 degrees in the restaurant. I sat right by the thermostat. 2) They were out of several things on the menu. I really wanted to try the sautéed broccolini. 3) The prices that were charged on the check were a few dollars higher than the price on the menu. I let it slide because my gift card was covering most of my bill. Please update your menu prices. It matters. Thank you. S + K is available for dining, events and catering.

The Food was great. the drinks are delicious and I loved that they had vegan options for my friend who joined me.

Went to Salt & Ko for a weekday lunch. The restaurant was very quiet - was that a bad sign? - but we were seated quickly. Food was excellent - very hot and good size portions. Service was also very good. Highly recommend.

My meal here was excellent. The "holy shitake" handheld was a fresh take on a vegan sandwich, and the side of broccolini was perfect. The service was attentive although the food was slow to come, especially in a mostly empty restaurant. The real issue was noise. The restaurant is poorly designed for sound management so every sound carries. Despite being mostly empty, the room was very noisy, which only made the patrons noisier. The canned music was also very loud and jarring. The lighting is also harsh. The combination made me want to leave ASAP. Despite enjoying the food and the courteous service,, I would not eat three again.

My son chose Salt + Ko to cater his wedding. We went to the tasting and the food was great. What we experienced at the wedding was nothing like what we had at the tasting. The steaks were so undercooked, even people that liked their steaks rare didn't care for them. The salmon was cold and dry. The vegetables were not fresh - they were obviously frozen as they were soggy. The manager wouldn't answer calls or emails from anyone associated with the wedding. So unfortunate. So much money was spent for such a disappointing meal. Do not use this company for catering,

Renovated? Difficult to enter parking area due to construction. The food is very good, but it took a LONG time coming, but I am sure to group size?

The food at Salt and Ko was really good, very flavorful and tasty. The restaurant was a little busy and we were told that the staff was a little new but that didn't prevent them from being friendly and helpful.

GO BEARS!!! Courtney & Andi are the BEST!! Stayed at Radisson hotel and went to bar inside hotel and service was GREAT!!!

Good food, great service, great ambiance. If you are looking for a nice night out with no drama, go there

we had a reservation for 7pm that didn't matter we still had to wait we finally sat down started ordering the only thing came out in a reasonable time is the drinks the sides finally came after 30-45mins and as you can see no meat we ordered the sides with lamb chops and steak bites they never came we asked the waitress where the rest of the food was she continued to say its coming out after waiting about 30 more mins in the freezing restaurant we asked for boxes and the bill told her to cancel the meats and thats when she bought the bill for $123 and told us we never ordered meats and thats when we realized the service was terrible and they couldn't handle the crowd the sides wernt to bad but after $123 i would have liked to be full and had more than sides probably will never go again
