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 was interesting to see the inside of their living unit and it felt like we were visiting friends. The salad and soup were delicious, the last 3 servings were very so-so. I felt like Dan, owner, had a bit of an attitude and his partner didn't speak to us at all, only served dishes and removed them when we were finished..Dan explaining that he doesn't speak the English. It really didn't seem much like an "argentinian" experience but then they do not advertise that it is, my point being, if you want to experience Buenos Aires this is probably not the "restaurant" to visit.

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 a lot of laughs and stories with the other diners and enjoyed each others' company so much, we ended up grabbing beers afterward and we even did a graffiti tour with a few the next day. We'd definitely recommend Casa Saltshaker to anyone visiting Buenos Aires!

Loved, loved , loved!!!
If you are a foodie and don't mind sharing a dining experiance with total strangers then you will love Casa Salt Shaker. Dan is a fine chef and knows his Argentine wines!
We had an amazing meal with wine pairings and met some really interesting people visiting/studying in Buenos Aires from Europe, Canada , Australia and the United States. We "broke bread", shared laughs and traveling tips! A very enjoyable experiance on so many levels!
This was our first " Closed Door " restaurant and will definately try others!

Thank you Dan and Henry

We had an incredible dinner with wine pairings at Casa SaltShaker this past Friday - this is an experience not to miss! Thank you Dan and Henry for opening up your beautiful home. Sincerely, Kelly and Michael Ziemann

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, and it would certainly add to my travel experiences.

It was fabulous. Dan Perlman could not have been more gracious. From the time of booking until we left, he was the perfect host. And his partner Henry was great too.

The other folks who had also booked were very interesting, well traveled, and most enjoyable.

I saved the best for last...the food. Dan is a very accomplished chef. Our night we had Peruvian Fusion. It was incredible. Loved every course.

I highly recommend it.
