Disappointed with the new Salt & Meadow. The restaurant was dirty, the food was tasteless. I had the mushroom parpadelle and it had absolutely no taste. We ordered the calamari to start and they were so tough I could not eat them. Definitely needs more work and more attention to detail.

Food was excellent. Presentation was excellent. Service was excellent! Requested a quiet setting, and was seated in dining area which was both quiet (we were the only diners in the room) and had an excellent view of the resort’s marina and view to the Rappahannock River. Would certainly highly recommend!

Jordan and Thomas were great servers! Very cheerful and knowledgeable! The wine they recommended was very good. The setting was delightful, as always! Food is good and still a little pricey!

From the start, our experience was outstanding. Great food and service, we had a lovely view of the river headed out to the bay. Would highly recommend trying Salt and Meadow when in the area, and we'll definitely go back again.

Our food was very good but not hot enough. I made a reservation so we could sit outside but we were told there were no outdoor tables and that the restaurant closes at 2. Our reservation was for 2! Not sure I would recommend.

Seated at a dirty table with food stuck to the placemat. Service was slow. Food was served cold, dry, and without much flavor - except the crab cake, but it was an awful flavor. Lunch for three people (one drink each) was over $200.

We came here for birthday dinner. Place looks elegant and if you get window table views of sunset are beautiful. Tried two cocktails Flower on the bay and SMR spritz - both nice and light. Trio of oysters was delicious especially their fried oysters - nice, big and plump and local. Since we don’t like raw oysters we got them switched to fried with no issues. Complimentary rolls were soft, warm and fluffy but accompanying butter for my taste was overly sweet! As our entrees we got rockfish and spiced rack of lamb. Fish was cooked well and paired well with buttermilk sauce. As for lamb I didn’t care much for spiced crust it was covered in but mint pea puree was silky and tasty. Overall food was good but I’m not sure I would order same entrees again except fried oysters those were delicious! For dessert we split Melba pudding - warm spiced cake with vanilla ice cream - it was ok. Our waitress was very nice and attentive although she seemed inexperienced and not very knowledgeable about menu and food.
