Inspired by the salt of the Gulf waters and the ivy found on Southern homes and gardens, the restaurant’s décor is reminiscent of a southern outdoor experience. Complete with topiary statues, beach wood trellis walls and a soaring skylight, the spacious dining room is designed to emulate a fresh garden patio. Guests are greeted by colorful bistro chairs at patterned tabletops, floral displays, and Haint blue walls, a shade common to Southern patio ceilings and believed to ward away bad spirits.
For those seeking a new dinner experience, Salt & Ivy presents entrees designed to please all palettes, including Redfish Imperial with Lemon Butter Sauce, Yellowfin Tuna Steak and BBQ Shrimp and Grits. On Tuesday nights, in addition to its regular menu, Salt & Ivy features the Fried Seafood Platter with Mississippi Farm-Raised Catfish, Shrimp, Oysters, Stuffed Crab, Hushpuppies and a Baked Potato, along with domestic beer specials. Friday nights are Prime Rib night, served with a Baked Potato, Fresh Vegetables, Au Jus and Horseradish Sauce. Pair your Friday dinner with an assortment of red and white wines on special.
While the Haint blue tones rid the room of bad spirits, Salt & Ivy mixologists serve up good spirits with a variety of New Orleans favorites and locally-inspired hand-crafted cocktails during lunch and dinner. The classic cocktail menu highlights include Sazerac, Pimm’s Cup, French 75, Old Fashioned, the Big Easy Spritz and the Biloxi Blue Martini.
During lunch hours, offerings include traditional Southern soups – French Onion, Gumbo and Chicken Noodle, in addition to salads, hot and cold sandwiches, pizzas, build-your-own pastas, “woke up late” items such as omelets and breakfast sandwiches and favorites like Red Beans and Rice, Chicken Parmesan and Country Fried Steak.
