    Can’t say enough about our experience. It was phenomena food and beautiful setting. Our wait staff was fantastic- Michael the waiter and Matt the busboy were so kind and helpfull and knowledgeable - and funny! Our filet was yum and the Roquefort wedge was so different and so tasty! The fluke with crabmeat special was delish. The best were Brussel sprouts! We planto be back!!

    We have enjoyed going to Salt for at least four years (post COVID). In the past, the food has been excellent as was the service. Prices were high but in keeping with the quality of the food. This time, it was pretty disappointing. The prices have increased significantly and we had disappointing service. Although our waitstaff were friendly and helpful when they came to the table, they were slow to come to the table and that was problematic because some parts of the order were not as requested. Our party of four all agreed the next day that we don't have to worry about getting a reservation there in 2025.

    Recommended to my employer and his wife for an off- season dining opportunity. They loved everything and the staff was world-class congenial. Hospitality pros at the Hotel LBI.

    Have been coming to LBI for years and have eaten at Salt a number of times. It’s one of the better restaurants on the Island. Apparently there is a new chef in charge and the menu looks good. The crab cake was very good and the lobster bisque was also very good. Unfortunately the pork loin that I had was just OK. Dried out at one end but moist at the thicker end. The sides were very good but for $48 I was expecting better. We were there when it wasn’t crowded and the service was very attentive. I’ll go back next year but I’m not ordering the pork.

    We enjoyed a lovely dinner while watching the sun set. Mike was our server and was wonderful. Connor was too! Our experience from being greeted by the hostess to picking up our car was just delightful.

    A bit pricey for the food quality. Service was exceptional. Our server Jamie was amazing. Would go back for drinks and bar bites but not dinner.

    Started with cocktails on the rooftop… only plastic cups offered which seemed tacky. The furniture and deck needs an end of season cleaning. Salt was very nice and a lovely atmosphere but the food was very overpriced…. Lots of $70. Entrees and when they recite the specials they don’t tell you the price. The salmon dinners were great, and a vegetarian entree was superb but the watermelon salad had wilted iceberg lettuce and mushy watermelon and feta. The mixed drinks were perfect. Very attentive service but too eager to clear the table when there were no waiting guests. Free valet parking!
