Salt

A quick note...

I love salt as much as the next person, it makes things flavorful, it keeps certain types of fish alive. It's great, not the least bit pricey.

Our meal Sunday night, however, was a bit overzealous about this already well established ingredient. Uncommon Ground lots it's nerve on our dishes, coating a duck breast and a fillet of halibut in the ground white dust. I was all excited at first. The halibut was served with fresh fava, sun chokes, and a watercress puree. It was beautiful, as noted to me by our charming server, but it was a salt fest. The Duck was no better, and the husband suffered and ate his without complaint...until we reached the outdoors, where he proceeded to ream the chef for his poor seasoning abilities. 

Just for the record we've never had a problem with this joint before, and we will probably go back again. But lighten up, Chef! Sodium kills.
