The food was not very fresh and what was fresh (beautiful green beans) were basically raw. We also did not find the menu to be as appetizing g as expected.

The food at Salt Kitchen has always been great, but what made our experience even better was the service. We had two elderly diners with us who both had difficulty getting around. The staff was extremely kind and helpful without calling attention to them. our waiter, Mike, was the best! He was attentive, funny, and made suggestions we all appreciated. We were a table of 8 including the two previously mentioned diners, and a 6-month-old baby. Mike took it all in stride and made out Easter experience truly enjoyable. I live on the island and hosted this family event -- from here on, when I need to host another dinner, I'll definitely call Salt Kitchen -- and ask for Mike's section!!!

My friend and I had a great experience we should for my birthday weekend which was also Easter weekend. The hotel having a Easter brunch menu was a great touch. Hotel LBI is always our go to for a staycation. Rooms are always so clean and gives you that apartment/ suite experience. Love the pool and that they have a onsite restaurant and gym. 10/10

The entire staff was wonderful and the food was great! The hostess was very kind to move our table initially so that my son (who is autistic) could look out the window. It brought him great comfort. ❤️

Service was outstanding as always, food was great however $70 steak was sent back because it was undercooked. But overall the restaurant is well run, this was the first time we had an issue with food. We enjoy dining there

We finally made it to dinner at Salt. It was very quiet when we were there- only a few other tables seated. The food was delicious and the service was great! We had the crab cake appetizer, filet mignon & pork tenderloin- all were excellent. The cocktails were also delicious. I gave a lower mark for value only because it is expensive, but the quality of the food is definitely top tier. Glad we got there before the summer rush!
