For something completely different try …

The Salt Cellar for Seafood;

For those looking for something other than turkey on thanksgiving might I suggest exceptional seafood at The Salt Cellar, SCOTTSDALE.

No set seating fees, no reservations required and no special holiday menu. It doesn’t have to be a holiday to celebrate with a meal at The Salt Cellar in Scottsdale.  Dine on steamed mussels in butter, Maryland crab cakes, Georges Bank Scallops and Shrimp Remo on Pappardelle Pasta. Perhaps Live Main Jumbo Lobster is more your palette or King Crab and Filet. Pair your dinner with a selection from an extensive wine list or finish with a scotch or beautifully crafted cocktail.

The Salt Cellar Restaurant is located at
550 North Hayden Road in Scottsdale
(480) 947-1963 | www.saltcellarrestaurant.com
