When you think of salty girls, you think of a popular high school cheerleader who thought she would be prom queen but lost out to the mathlete with a 5.0 GPA, or ones who are severely dehydrated because they do not own Stanley cups. But this famed Boston destination isn't salty, but saltie. Located at the corner of Dartmouth and Newbury in the trendy Back Bay neighborhood, this restaurant features pink walls, a vibrant atmosphere, and saucy mood lighting for events as innocuous as four lobster aficionados looking for a great roll or as romantic as a young man looking to impress a salty girl well out of his league.
Your humble reviewers knew that they were in for a treat as soon as they entered, seeing hundreds of happy patrons enjoying themselves on a cold, wintery night. Lively discussion filled the restaurant, and though these reviewers were respectful to not eavesdrop on their neighbors, those who have a penchant for being nosy would have trouble nosing anything but the delicious aromas of lobsters, waffles, and chowder.
The opening course did not disappoint. The chowder featured potato, celery, bacon, and most uniquely, fried clam. Unique flavors and delightful textures filled the reviewers with great hope that the night's main event would leave a lasting impression. And so it did.
The lobster roll was packed to the brink, with little lobster claws providing a visual confirmation that yes, in fact, this was lobster meat after all. A gently buttered and toasted bun provided a secure boat for the precious cargo, and your reviewers enjoyed every bite.
The Saltie Girl was the first restauranteur who did not pair her lobster roll with freedom fries, instead opting for a glistening bag of potato chips. While there was not much to complain about with these chips, one must ultimately ponder the true existential question presented: what is the right way to enjoy fried potatoes with your lobster roll?
Though your reviewers left with minds working overtime to answer this question, one thing is for certain: this Saltie Girl is the true prom queen.
