Item Description

THE ART OF EATING GOOD FOOD!

Visit Salt Kitchen and Rum Bar in Ipswich for a taste of comfort food.

Dave Gillis spent 11 years as general manager of Finz Seafood & Grill on Salem’s Pickering Wharf. Now he’s opened his own business in Ipswich, Salt Kitchen & Rum Bar, picking up on a trendy concept in Great Britain — the gastropub.

“Gastropub” is a British term for a pub, bar or tavern that serves high-quality comfort food, Gillis said.The trend jumped the pond several years ago and is catching on in cities and towns from Boston to Los Angeles. The term was coined in the 1990s as a combination of the words pub and gastronomy, the art of eating good food.

“Looking at the town and what it had to offer, I felt my concept would fill a niche,” Gillis said. “There is nothing like what I do.” The menu, developed with head chef Chris Tighe, features everything from a meatloaf sandwich to Himalayan roasted scallops, a homemade pub pretzel with ale and cheese fondue, and fried chicken and bacon waffles with a chipotle maple drizzle. “It is those comfort foods,” Gillis said, “but we are taking it to a different level.”
