Salt House San Francisco
Last night Kontera Technology took us to the Salt House restaurant for a mega 11 course tasting menu. Salt House is San Francisco’s newest hot spot. The 75 seat restuarant is housed in an old printing press warehouse built in the 1930’s. Salt House serves contemporary American fare ranging from raw bar plateaus to house made charcuterie, appetizers and heartier main course.
Salt House is alway packed with diners and is very noisy when the place is full. The sound level is probably increased due to the sound echoing brick walls and windows. You have to talk very loud if you want to make sure the people at your table hears you. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a quiet romantic evening. However, for our party of five, who just wanted to kick back and relax after a full day of Ad:Tech, Salt House was near perfect. And so was their food.
Our 11 course dinner started with oysters on the half shell and ended with chocolate malt Bavarian cake for dessert. Dinner lasted nearly three hours from start to finished. I’ll have to walk the entire show floor at least 10 times to work it off. Enjoy the photos. Hope it doesn’t make you too hungry.

John, how does it feel to have a better Alexa rank than ShoeMoney? Although, I see you went from 5k to 17k… ouch!
Reply to this commentAlexa rankings don’t mean that much when you have almost 24K rss readers.
Reply to this commentThe ranking game still gets some peoples attention. That is why http://www.45n5.com is successful. People want to know how they measure up. In the process while everyone is checking their own stats, they visit the top sites and generate even more traffic. Just like the rich get richer, the top traffic getters get more traffic.
Reply to this commentSo what is the appropriate way to measure a blogs value and worth if all the traditional measurements are thrown out the window.
Reply to this commentWonder what those “traditional” measurements are. A value to a site without the real stats provided from the webmaster all are “guess-it”. But you can collect a heap of date and presume that the value of a site is X or XL (including, pagerank, alexa ranking, rss readers etc)
Reply to this commentI’ve never been able to get my site ranked on that blog. I don’t know why. I do have online income, quite a decent amount, I do have PR/Alexa/Technorati… but still no joy… Could someone tell me why?
Reply to this commentRankings like that don’t mean a thing anymore. PageRank, Alexa, Technorati…all went out the window.
Reply to this commentAgreed. Alexa is total garbage. I did a case study on it a few years back and was able to get into the top 20k easily.
Reply to this commentIn a nut shell, how did you get your Alexa ranking up? I agree it’s not worth too much, but some advertisers still look at it and a higher ranking could only help.
Reply to this commentI’m been moving up quickly in Alexa. I just strive to get link backs and SEO traffic.
Reply to this commentHow did you get your ranking up so quickly? I agree it’s not really worth much, but some advertisers still look at it.
Reply to this commentYeah, John’s Alexa rankings are really not that important, it’s what he “does” with the traffic that’s amazing…
On the side note John, next time you are in SF (or if you are still here…), I gotta take you out to “the best sushi” in town called Oyaji’s. A drunken sushi master from Japan runs the joint and everybody who lives in San Francisco knows he is the best chef in town. This guy only opens at night and gets drunk the whole time he makes sushi. I got my motivation from going to this guy’s restaurant when I used to live a block away.
Here’s directions if you are staying another night and feel like some authentic sushi and sake from the master:

Reply to this commentIt seems that shoemoney also have been suffered from the alexa ranking change. They have an announcement, I posted about it
Reply to this commentEh, I’m always reading that Alexa ranking doesn’t mean anything because the stats are wrong most of the time.
Reply to this commentjohns alexa ranking makes a LOT more sense now. He was in the top 3000 before, which is ridiculous. He gets decent traffic, but not top 3000 site traffic.
Reply to this commentHahaha Alexa ranking is nothin with the present bulk of visitors JOhn gets everyday. By the way I like the food at Salt House basing on your photos. sounds great, tastes even better..hhmmm
Reply to this commentJohn CHow is not using his KOntera content link here but he’s still getting $1000 per month…amazing
Reply to this commentYou are right!
Reply to this commentI don’t think John even cares about Alexa or Google PR
Hey John, I saw you tweet this and was hoping you’d write about this. Looks delicious.
Reply to this commentYeah, I am looking forward his comment on alexa change.
Reply to this commentThose oysters look phenomenal, as does the tuna.
Reply to this commentIt seems like John has a thing for oysters. They’re kinda slimy to me.
Reply to this commentgo ahead, rub it in!
Reply to this commentWow, those scallops look delicious. I’ll have to check this place out next time I’m in SF.
Also, I heard that you mistook Max Lee for me at Ad Tech. Pretty cool that people are wearing around my WTW t-shirts…
Reply to this commentHow appropriate… Looks like Kontera is turning “scallops” into an ad.
Reply to this commentMouth watering!
Reply to this commentGreetings from the entire World http://daslive.blogspot.com
Reply to this commentHow much of that stuff did you eat yourself?
Reply to this commentGood question. I’d probably only be able to eat maybe two or three of those & then dessert.
Reply to this commentLooks like a nice dinner. The 11-course tasting menu sure gives you a fair bit of variety compared to the three courses you get during Dine Out Vancouver.
Reply to this commentRanking?? Who cares about ranking. I just want to eat this delicious, tantalizing foods.
Reply to this commentI agree layman ….the food looked incredible.
Reply to this commentJohn the mega 11 course tasting menu looked very tasting. I am confused why the west coast serves oysters on the half shell. I live in Myrtle Beach and oysters should be shucked. The best part of eating oysters is the opening process. Just like the best part of the blog is adding content. By skipping one process of the oyster eating ….the palette does not get the full flavor.
You are A real super hero………SuperChow

Reply to this commentdon’t you know to cook?
Reply to this commentlearn from John
I am glad this is just a picture and not in front of me because it would be gone!!!
Reply to this commentThe 8th meal looks delicious. And the last dessert looks tasty as hell.
I still hate oysters though. Ew.
Reply to this commentThe oysters look familiar…. are you sure you’re not still in Whistler?
Haha just kidding, that meal does look absolutely incredible! Very, very nice of Kontera to do that for all of you!
Reply to this commentthe deserts look amazing! the rest though i wouldn’t touch.. i don’t like seafood, and i like meat but only when it’s cooked. still a nice gesture from kontera mind you, and since i’m not the one eating it, what does it matter!?
Reply to this commentWow. It all looks yummy. Makes me hungry. We don’t have any good places for dishes like that around here. I miss stuff like that. Those oysters really look good!
Reply to this commentQuite nice pictures
Reply to this commentI’d say I’m fairly hungry after looking at those scallops. Damn.
Reply to this commentwoohoo, the pics looks so fruity.
Reply to this commentI wish Kontera call me sometime later
Your pictures made me hungry! Nice rare meat and awesome looking oysters. If it weren’t 3,000 miles away I would go there!
Reply to this commentlol, you wud go and eat John’s meat
Reply to this commenthehe I won’t resist either .. the food look pretty good.
Reply to this commentI cant imagine eating for 3 whole hours. For me the most is 15 minutes tops. LOL
Reply to this comment3 hours, my goodness!
Reply to this commentI think John was deeply involved in something, a conversation or flirting, thats the reason it took 3 hours for eating.
Oh man NOTHING says class like the douche bag at the other table taking flash photography of every item on the table…
Reply to this commentSalt House. Nice. Next time you go, let me know. I’ll tell Mitch Rosenthal to come over to say hey.
Reply to this commentwow john 11 course dinner ?? Are you planning on gaining some weight?
Reply to this commentKontera took you out to dinner! I don’t know about the rest of the food as I don’t like seafood, but the dessert looks great!
