This was my first time dining at Salt & Fin, which is inside of Harrah’s Resort SoCal.
I like the decor throughout the restaurant. Sandi and Bjonnie had wonderful customer service!! Very attentive. Very friendly.
What we ordered:
Fried Calamari
Cherry Peppers, Lemon, Pickled Cucumber Ranch $17
Very crispy. Loved that it also had the tentacles. That Ranch sauce was so good!! We asked for more. Lemon flavor throughout.
Pan-Seared Halibut
Alaskan Halibut, Jasmine Rice, Baby Bok Choy, Thai Basil & Mango Salsa. $42
Halibut was cooked perfectly. Firm but flaky texture. The salsa is fantastic! The Baby Bok Choy had a bitter taste, so my friend couldn’t eat it. Wonderful presentation!
Grilled Spanish Octopus
Japanese Chimichurri, Roasted Fingerling potatoes, grilled lemon $30
I was expecting more of a tender-yet-chewy texture but it was a little more tender than I would have liked. I love octopus and I like it to be a little firm. The Spanish Octopus is fattier and sweeter so I would have liked to taste a little more sweetness. It seemed like there was a little too much of a vinegar taste. I also would have liked a little spice. The Fingerling potatoes could have used a tad more salt. Wonderful presentation though.
Banana Crème Brûlée
Banana Custard, Caramelized sugar and fresh Berries $11
The Banana Custard was very creamy. The crunchy top could have been crunchier. It would have been an even better presentation if they blowtorched it at the table. But, I like that kind of thing lol My friend would have liked a regular custard instead of Banana custard.
They have no restrooms in the restaurant so you’ll have to find one in Harrah’s.

An unexpected amazing place!!! Sandi, our service was so personable and absolutely wonderful. I'm so glad we got the chance to stop here. Between the fresh seafood, lobster bisque, dessert, and drinks, everything was fantastic. It was the perfect anniversary date night spot and I hope I get the chance to go back again.

Lobster Bisque
This was a nice quiet place. We enjoyed our food. We had the halibut and it was good we forgot a picture. The lobster bisque was tasty. The clam appetizer was nice. The basket of crackers were a great start.
