The Salt Exchange Presents: "The Hours"....and more!

We are proud to Roll Out a lovely little tid-bit of "Me-Time". After a long day at the office, a scorching hot afternoon at the beach, or just because, come join us for The Hours...

Every Monday through Friday from 5:00pm until 7:00pm, come enjoy a selection of discounted Beers and House Sangria served alongside that evening's discounted appetizers/amuse.

p.s.... That also means that the lounge no longer opens at 4...but its been replaced with something SO much better... :)

Things to Come....

So, into our 3rd week, things become clearer.... Service is honed, the kitchen works out kinks and is finding their groove, we continue to see many familiar faces come in the door. As we smooth over the surfaces and crevices, we look ahead to some great things! Some new and exciting parts to the "machine" that we are excited to share with you are:

*Outdoor seating (In the next month or two)- we will have 4 deuces out on the sidewalk

*Chef's Table- 6 seats at the Kitchen where you can watch your food being prepared and ask Chef Jasinski (and his colleagues) questions about preparation or ingredients

*Continuation of Wednesday Wine Series- Sample wines with complimentary canapes

*An Exclusive Taittinger special (Stay posted for dates and details)

*Our Website , designed by Theodora Medouris, will be up and running in a month or so- still tweaking some little details, but the address will be posted as soon as it is up!

*We will be one of the restaurants Featured in Maine Home Design's (Formerly Port City Life) first Issue in September! Look for it in your local Grocery store.

We look forward to seeing your faces in for Lunch, Dinner, or just to poke around or chat about the concept, food or Spirits! Take care! The Salt Exchange Crew

New Restaurant in Portland Maine!

Hello to the Foodies out there!  I want to be the first to announce the arrival of our newest bundle of Joy : The Salt Exchange.  This is our 1st major endeavor as a husband and wife team and what better place to do this than the Beautiful Portland Maine.  Here is the rundown:  The Salt Exchange is a small-plates (appetizer size) concept. A lot of people have made the assumption that by "Small-Plates" we mean tapas: this is not the case.  We will be focusing on Regional New American Cuisine.  This includes all types of fare with all of the cultural influences that we see every day in fine cuisine.  The idea is that because some of the food is "New American" and may not have made it to the mainstream, a patron (yourselves) may want to try several things without breaking their bank.  Here's the scenario:  You and I and 2 of our friends go to eat at TSE.  We each find 2 or 3 dishes that look interesting to us.  In talking to one another about the menu we find that some of us want to try the same thing, some of us do not.  So what do we do?  We order 8 or 9 things off of the menu and sample away.  We will also have an extensive wine menu (It will start out with about 50 bottles but we will be ever expanding once our doors are opened), full wine service as well as a finer, upscale feel, with a detail for family friendliness.  We also think that it is important for us to mention that one of our main mission statements is that we want to be immersed in, housed by, inclusive of and contributers to our Community of Portland Maine.  Please feel free to take a peek if you find yourselves down along 245 Commercial street.  We are right next to Three Dollar Deweys.  Thank you for aking the time to read this and we hope to see your faces there when we open (Mid May!)
