Hi Tony, sorry that you feel that way - SALT has received many awards for its outstanding service, including thebeijingers Best Service in Beijing and it has been highly recommended for its service, cuisine, winelist and interior by The New York Times, Zagat, City Weekend, etc etc. The decor is minimalist and believe me, in no way inexpensive. The Glassware is Ridel - one of the best in the world. Absolutely none of the crockery is damaged! and or course the cutlery is polished! Chef Ana is young, but she brings with her a wealth of experience from across the globe and has studied at some of the leading international schools. She has also won several awards for her cuisine. As far as having foams etc like other restaurants, SALT is owned and operated by Gaby Alves who was part of the original team of Alameda. Gaby and Alameda set new standards in dining in Beijing over six years ago and you find that most restaurants copy her asthetic, menu design and pricing. Two years ago there were no other "contmepory cuisine" restaurants in Beijing and in fact the category did not even exist in the magazines - there were no "business lunches" in Beijing until Gaby began them. We welcome reviews, but please be careful not to damage a reputation on unfounded facts.
