We had a great evening at Casa Saltshaker. There were ten of us -- five Americans, two from the UK, and three from Singapore. We are not very big on group experiences with strangers but this was a wonderful evening, with interesting people who were willing to share perspectives on life and work around the world.

Good thing: very close to our apt., Poetry bldg, which i give 5 stars to. Not-so-good: The "closed door restaurant" was a bit disappointing. To begin with we were about 7 minutes early but were told over the speakerphone that, "we could come in even though we are early." There were 10 of us at the table, all Americans. It... More

I'm sorry to hear that we didn't live up to your expectations, particularly on some of the food - we strive to have it be high quality home cooking and like to think that it is, but always up for correction if it isn't. I'm never quite sure what someone means when they say someone has an attitude - everyone... More

My husband and I made a reservation at Casa Saltshaker at the recommendation of a friend, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. We weren't sure what to expect since this was our first closed door restaurant experience. Our hosts, Dan and Henry, were delightful and the food and wine pairings were incredible. We shared... More

As I was planning our trip to Buenos Aires, I kept reading about these "Closed Door" restaurants. This is where someone opens their home and cooks dinner for guests. I decided on Casa Saltshaker, and could not have been more pleased. Although the entire concept was a little out of my comfort zone, I figured it was just 1 night,... More

As a former restaurateur In Europe an avid foodie, I was really impressed by the whole experience in Casa Saltshaker. Last year I spent 21 days in Peru so I knew something of the famous fusion cuisine which this country rightly boasts, but nothing quite prepared me for Dan's Peruvian dinner with combined wines served here in Buenos Aires last...

I read about Casa SaltShaker on TripAdvisor upon arriving to Buenos Aires. We didn't have reservations, but I emailed Dan to find out if they had they could accommodate us for dinner. He got back to me right away because they had a cancellation! I'm such a fan of this type of unique experience that allows me to enjoy a... More

I have made Saltshaker puerto cerreda a must do experience in BA. I have tried this twice now during two different trips in 2011 and as recent as last night. Both times it has been a great opportunity to have a wonderful leisurely meal while meeting new people, both locals and tourists. There is something more welcoming when breaking bread... More

We wanted to do something different in BA whilst we were here and were not disappointed by our dining experience at Casa Saltsaker. Great food, interesting company and all graciously hosted by Dan and Henry. Good memories to take away from this evening.
