A weeknight dinner for two at Salt Steak after our son's first exam

Today my husband and I went to Salt Steak, a Songdo Central Park favorite! Our son's first exam was finally over, and I felt light and wanted a relaxed dinner out, just the two of us. Thanks to booking ahead, there was no waiting, and it was a perfect date that I'm recording here!

We've eaten at Salt Steak with the kids before, so I trusted the food and didn't hesitate. Coming at night felt even moodier and nicer. It's a cozy, hideaway-style restaurant!

What is the atmosphere at Salt Steak like?

Salt Steak has a cozy interior with green walls and checkered tablecloths, like a Christmas party venue. The stylish decor makes the time with the person across from you feel extra special.

There were other guests at tables too, even though it was late on a weeknight. It felt like walking into a romantic Christmas party. The green walls and soft checkered tablecloths really add to that exotic, warm mood.

A chance to get carrot rapée! You can try it if you join the review event.

Since I'd reserved, they had our table set up in advance!

It felt neat and upscale at the same time.

The lemon-scented ghee butter is really good. I spread it on the bread and scraped up every last bit, haha

Chili con carne rigatoni: did my husband, who dislikes rich food, enjoy it?

The chili con carne rigatoni (₩26,000) at Salt Steak is the pasta I ordered especially for my husband, who doesn't like heavy, greasy dishes. Luckily, he ate it happily.

How does Salt Steak's arugula-packed burrata cheese salad taste?

The burrata cheese salad (₩21,000) at Salt Steak is loaded with arugula, and its fresh, refined sauce leaves your mouth feeling clean. The salad that came next didn't disappoint either! It's packed with arugula, which I love, so it passed on first look, and my husband and I both fell for the sauce.

Ghee butter petit tender: ghee poured from a jug over the steak

The ghee butter petit tender (180 g, ₩57,000) at Salt Steak arrives with the red meat still showing, and when you pour the liquid from the jug over it, the surface cooks. Wow! I'd never eaten steak this way, so it was fascinating.

I ordered a beer, and my husband had a non-alcoholic cocktail! Being at such a nice restaurant, just the two of us, felt like a date and it was lovely.

What completed the date was the main dish... the ghee butter petit tender. The meat was tender and mild, so we kept reaching for more.

The rosemary on top, along with garlic and the aroma of red and yellow berries, blended nicely with the meat and gave it great flavor.

When we came with the kids, they ate so well that I barely got any meat, but with my husband it was just right for a generous meal! Haha

We savored each dish slowly and chatted away, and ate really well. I was so happy to have a special weeknight dinner with my husband! I couldn't let even the last bite go~~ Deleted~!

Would I recommend Salt Steak in Songdo for a couple's date?

The cozy, exotic interior, like a Christmas party, kept me feeling warm the whole time. From the fragrant arugula salad to the unusual ghee butter petit tender, every dish was impressive, and the depth of flavor is something special. It's a Songdo Central Park favorite that gets both atmosphere and taste right, and I'd definitely recommend it for a special day.
