ROCKSALT Charlotte brings you a sustainable seafood experience in an intimate, rustic setting. Our oyster bar is front and center to showcase the freshest oysters around, grown by our owner. The wood-fired grill brings savory depth to land and sea-based proteins. Our wine and beer selections are carefully curated and our cocktail list evolves continually. And we have incredible non-seafood options as well, such as our Chef's Cut - a rotating choice of steaks cooked on our open fire! We have two patios - one that is covered and affords great views of the surrounding area, another that is uncovered and a great place for walk-ins to wait for their table while grabbing a drink. Reservations recommended but we try to accommodate as many walk-ins as we can. Please be advised that reservations are held for 15 minutes before cancellation. Guests are reminded that seatings are limited to 2 hours max. All members of parties must be present to be seated.

Poor experience. Reserved inside table and confirmed with phone call. Initially sat outside on heated patio. When hostess asked to seat us inside was met with very un accommodating tone. This was rectified however the restaurant ran out of scallops, shrimp and grits and another staple by our 7:30pm order. Ended up spending $100 for a sparse serving of crab cakes with no sides and a single cocktail

I guess I’d be considered a regular. My 8 year old son loves their whole grilled fish! We are 2! I partake in that with him and add some oysters on the half shell and last night the oyster chowder! Wow! Excellent! Everything! Loved the jalapeño margaritas and the flourless chocolate cake with strawberries! Service was excellent. Attentive and friendly!

The oysters were delicious. Tuna tartare was good as were the crab cakes. The mussels were terrific and I wish I had ordered those for my entree. My husband had the trout and gnocchi and it was ok. The burrata and tomato salad was great and the butter board was delicious. Would go again for the butter board, mussels, oysters and salad. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable but didn’t hover.

got to say we were very disappointed, we've been many times before, always a great experience-but not last night. realize it's the holiday season, and hard to get staff but we had a reservation for 645, were told upfront they were busy, so we were trying to be understanding... they were already out of 2 normal menu items, staff was running around putting out fires-what happened to the manager guy that used to be there-he was really needed, felt sorry for the staff but even so- i had to ask about my meal 10 min after everyone else's had been served , and it was just the basic couscous, our vegetable was never delivered, overall not a great time, probably won't be back for awhile

I've never had a bad meal at RockSalt. It's my favorite joint to go to in Charlotte. The best drinks, seafood, and appetizers. Their iron skillet blueberry cornbread is awesome when they have it in season. And the oysters are a must. They have a butter board now that is insane. Compound butter with greens and delicious bread. Just wow. And the staff is always friendly. 5 stars!

Oysters are delicious and at great price. However the rest of the menu is problematic as they are out of many items. First time we went they were out of the specials, last night, they were out of the daily fish again and the 4 other plates we attempted to order, including the French Onion Soup. If we ever go back, is for the Oysters but not sure we will.

have been many times, always a great menu and delicious food, service was okay, we sat outside on the enclosed patio with the heat lamp so it was very pleasant, and the other diner's kept their table conversation at a normal tone- so nice to not have to yell to hear-hoping that's a new trend.
