In Saltie Girl’s defence, however, the service is delightful, the room is pretty and they’re doing some interesting things with tinned fish, meaning a £31 tin of prime bonito comes with fresh bread on a board with three lines of salt and some chopped lime. It is said that a picture paints a thousand words, and in recent times I have taken to leaving restaurants such as this and simply WhatsApping an image of a highwayman putting on his mask to denote paying the bill. These may be ‘the Rolls-Royces of the tinned fish world, but Saltie Girl has simply opened the ring-pull and charged a big mark-up’. ![]() A small head of vadouvan-spiced cauliflower was properly delicious, though. The £18 shrimp cocktail, for that matter, should also be more than just prawns hooked around the rim of a bowl and served with a fruity slant on thousand island dressing. For this amount of money and hype, that waffle should come in the shape of a mermaid and the lobster should be frosted with a seasoned tempura and served with some out-of-this-world, sweet-yet-piquant sauce, not with some forgettable, spicy maple syrup. And the lobster was not battered in a light, delicious tempura, but rather a thunder-some coating that distracted from the prized flesh beneath and made me very sad about the pointless demise of this glorious creature. This was the kind of waffle anyone who has a Lakeland waffle iron gathering dust at home could make. I certainly remember that the lobster on waffle was £36, because, when it arrived, I recall thinking that, for a restaurant making such a song and dance about its premium seafood cooked by experts, it felt a travesty simply to dunk the tail in a chunky batter and serve it on a bog-standard waffle. Helpfully, the prices are missing from the online menu, which is odd, because even the Rolex site allows you to know the cost of the Datejust 31 in 18-carat gold that you cannot afford. ‘Made me sad about the pointless demise of this glorious creature’: Saltie Girl’s lobster waffle. Saltie Girl, on the other hand, is a highly expensive US import that sells shrimp cocktails, tinned fish and seafood towers, is backed by the people behind Meraki, and is aimed at their wealthy but not massively discerning audiences. Saltie Girl has opened its London branch on North Audley Street in Mayfair, a stone’s throw from Selfridge’s in a locale that’s home to Apricity and Bibi, two restaurants I recommend everyone goes to if time, funds and occasion fit, both being outstanding examples of modern, innovative dining and fine service. Over here, the name is just odd and slightly offputting, but then, when you’re selling lobster on waffle at £36 a throw, it’s not just the name that will be keeping casual passers-by at bay. Which parts of her are salty? Her armpits? Her toes? Her choice of language? The owners of Saltie Girl say the phrase is old Maine colloquial for mermaid, and have opened branches of this seafood-fixated restaurant in Boston, Los Angeles and, now, London. It will certainly help in broadening the horizons of knowledge of the visitors.F irst, let us tackle the name Saltie Girl, which, frankly, sounds less than delicious.
