    I absolutely love Salt & Barrel and keep coming back for so many reasons! On my latest visit, Jared the busboy and Manny our server were an amazing team—super attentive in keeping our table spotless and fresh the whole time. Manny deserves a special shout-out. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about all the oysters and entrees, and he made great recommendations. What impressed me even more was how he picked up on a tiny social cue: he noticed I wasn’t drinking my cocktail and sensed I didn’t love it, even though I was too shy to say anything. Without missing a beat, he brought me the menu and guided me to a new drink that was absolutely perfect. Service like this makes Salt & Barrel feel special every time. I’ll definitely keep coming back!

    We love ita but we’re surprised to see the menu changed quite a bit. As a vegetarian my options were more limited but the food was still excellent.
