I love the Salt Cellar! I go there every time I visit Arizona. In a city like Scottsdale where a new restaurant opens and another shuts down every minute, each one trying to out-do the other, it's nice to step down into a bit of Valley tradition. And not only do they have the best King Crab legs I've ever tasted (and they open them for you) but they also have old-school menu items that a lot of other restaurants don't seem to appreciate anymore. I don't want my shrimp dipped in sesame-kumquat reduction with a crystalized avocado wrapped in a pinapple-bacon scarf!!! I just want good quality and the Salt Cellar delivers! I salivate just thinking about the Manhattan clam chowder, San Remo shrimp, and perfect martinis, also minus the chai-flavored liquor and umbrellas. Call me old-fashioned (even though I'm under 30) but I like a classy joint with good folks, timeless charm, and great food. This place is really something special.
Pros: unique, CRAB LEGS
Cons: parking
