I'm in the middle with this establishment.
If I had to get up next morning and had to drink full bottle of water due to saltiness of the Risotto served, It's a no.
It was a restaurant week, yahoo! I love this time of the year because we get to try tone of new restaurants and their best food selection and review about it. Restaurant usually pride themselves with their menu selections during this time.
The Salum had very nice atmosphere, great front service, and overall clean.
Table setting was luxurious, sophisticated menu selections. New American Style Foods. Simple decor and interior. I like that.
Server was very calm, but I can't help but to notice, that this place maybe under staffed.
I didn't care much for the empanada appetizer, it didn't seem that much special, but I really liked the pesto sauce it came with. I also ordered the Texas Goat Cheese with Roasted elephant garlic(giant!) with baguette.
And I tried the Pan Seared Rainbow Trout on a Parmesan sage risotto. Perfectly cooked Rainbow Trout, but the Risotto was too salty overall, Appetizer - Shrimp Risotto had the same effect, too salty. Risotto was just too salty.
Small details matter.
I know in Spain, if you serve a guest with chipped plate or butter container, it may mean you are a special guest, but I don't think that applies to Dallas High End Restaurants. I'd definitely watch out for the chipped plates and containers served to guest, it just doesn't look fancy for a high priced establishment.
Overall, the experience was good. Compared to other high end restaurants I've been to, the place is a 3 star for me because of those two facts, salty risotto, chipped plate.
