Just because Arizona lacks a coastline doesn’t mean we can’t have delicious seafood. The only underground restaurant in the state, The Salt Cellar, serves up the freshest New England-inspired seafood around, from Maine lobster to crab cakes and everything in between.

Arizona's only underground restaurant, The Salt Cellar has been delighting Scottsdale with New England-inspired seafood since 1971.
