SALT

I have never been to a restaurant where I wouldn't change a thing but I have now. The manager and waiters are extremely attentive. I normally don't want to be bothered with the manager coming over asking if all is grand but this guys personality, charm, and how genuine he was really made me smile and happy to have a convo. The view is spectacular. The pineapple coconut mojito was off the hook. Bacon slab had my fiance drooling. My 18 month old had the watermelon feta. I can't say enough good things.

Great place! We will be back.

Just had dinner (again) at Salt. Once again everything was amazing!
Our waiter Chris and Jerry were very attentive.
The Calamari, clam flatbread, and coconut shrimp were delicious!!
We got the Seafood Risotto and Shrimp Cavatelli and shared because we couldn’t choose between the two, and they were equally good!!
The strawberry shortcake dessert was the perfect ending, I love the whip cream!!
Definitely worth the 45 minute drive, I’ll be back again

Great atmosphere and service!

It’s our favorite for everything!! Jerry is awesome and really knows how to treat customers!!

Great food/service and view! Would highly recommend.

Nice place to eat. Right on the water in Merrick. Tables both inside and on the deck. Victoria our server was prompt, courteous and helpful. Food was excellent. The bar was lively on Friday night but still could get served. Wonderful spot to relax at the end of the day. We'll be back again for sure.

Atmosphere was great. Food was delicious! We were treated very nicely! The manager took excellent care of us and was always checking to make sure we were happy! Definitely Recommend!!

Going to SALT was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The ambiance is lovely, the service is great, the food amazing and Jerry is a delight!

Great food and drinks. Their oyster selection is quite extensive and fresh.

gorgeous view! food was delicious, our waiter was very friendly. service was a little slow but we weren’t in a hurry. a little surprised the manager didn’t check on our table. he usually does and he was going over to most tables at some point. one of our most favorite summer spots!

Subpar food. Service just OK. Had to wait forever for a drink at the bar that was not even busy. For the price, there are just so many other choices around.

Gerry is phenomenal. He remembered me from last season and his personality and service is impeccable. Can’t wait for the new lounge to open! Great food, drinks and ambiance.

Very good food and great atmosphere

Food and ambiance are great. The manager Jerry is so nice! Our waitress was pleasant and the bus boys were happy to take our pics. Can’t wait to go back. Reservations are allowed for indoor seating

Great place to bring the family. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Food is great. My wife loves the fish tacos, I loved the burger.

The food is a little pricey but so very tasty! The ambience is great and the customer service was amazing!

There are not many waterfront restaurants in the area, and the food is good.

The service is horrible. I can not stress this enough. If you want drinks, order 2 at a time. you’ll never even be asked for another round.

This is their second year. I went there a few times last year and the server will take your order, then disappear. Basic drinks ( beer, wine, gin and tonics) take 30+ minutes to arrive, and are wrong. The tables around me all had the same issues. Worst part is, the bar has 2 couples at it and the tables were only half full. This has been my experience through 4 of 6 visits now.

Luckily, the kitchen knows what there doing. Food is good, better than what you’d find in Freeport.

Had a great brunch with friends this past Sunday, our first time to the restaurant. Sorry to hear
that it is closed in the Winter but will definitely be back when the reopen in warmer weather.
The food was awesome, interesting drink menu and cool view

did not the banana French toast and for only 2 eggs with bacon for $15 was not worth it

The food was mediocre and cocktails completely watered down. Too bad!

This place has no right bring in business- closed kitchen a hour early for no reason just because - didn’t honor reservations and we drive a hour and they even called to confirm.

Great spot on the water!! Food is OK, asked for a medium well burger, it was very rare, sent it back, came out black....what can I say? The manager was great, wait staff average. Just nice ot sit ont he water, don't expect a foodie experience however.

Water view was nice. Food was good. Service was terrible. Our drinks and water arrived AFTER the food! And one of of two entrees was wrong. Nobody checked on us after food was served. Disappointing because this place has an opportunity to be great given its location.

You pay for the view!

We always have a great time at Salt, the food is great and the staff is friendly and professional. Only down side is they are not open year round!

Food and location are better than average. Service was poor. Waiter was not friendly and acted as though we were a bother.

Food and location are nice. On this particular evening although the restaurant was half empty we were rushed through our meal in 30 minutes and that’s with a drink, appetizer and entree. Food was obviously pre-prepared and was tasty but lukewarm. I’ll wait to book another reservation before I give it another try.

Fair but I wanted a better Friday night experience so I could give it a good at least. Overall Disappointment. I guess I expected more from this wonderfully located place. I went early to have dinner before a party. It is obviously a popular spot, the outdoor views are very nice. The food was ok, actually the fish taco appetizer was excellent. Maybe it was the blaring country music that turned me off before the $$$ prices did- 4.00 for an ice tea is insulting. At least try for an interesting garnish. The side of grilled vegetables highly uninteresting in presentation especially since someone tried to have gourmet baby vegetables be a better look. The feta watermelon salad was underripe watermelon served with a puny smattering of feta and a sprinkle of basil. Good concept but missed the mark. The service was attentive enough but lacked enthusiasm and personality. I wanted to like this place enough to return. The Value of the view has a lot going for it but nothing was that outstanding after that. I couldn’t help feel that it could have a cool vibe, i mean SALT is clever enough graphically but it just needed some adrenaline. I think that’s why I was disappointed. It COULD BE really great. It’s not Lauderdale or key west in a fun or hip way, but why not? The graphic white letters are. it needs some attention to service and presentation. The staff is young but that’s no excuse for lack of training with purpose. I expect more, the sneakers and shorts and black socks/sneakers doesn’t work. For the prices they should be in khaki pants and white shirts with a smile. If it’s desired to be more groovy, maybe a modern look of black pants and black shirts. Even colorful tropical shirts would work. Make me feel I’m on vacation and living the boating, coastal life, not going fishing off a dock with the guys from the gym.
It needs a re-evaluation of what it wants to be. It looks like someone had a vision once.
Huge potential.

We managed to enjoy our 25 th anniversary dinner despite a few unexpected shortfalls with drinks and service. Might try again when it’s not a holiday weekend.

It was an enjoyable night. We will go bAck again

Food was overpriced and service was slow. The desert was misleading strawberry shortcake tasted like old entamins pound cake ice cream and a whole strawberry cut up. Oh and the cappuccino was burnt milk with no coffee. How do you screw up an expresso.

Birthday lunch for my daughter. She was very pleased with my venue selection. Everything was great !’ Thank you.

We really enjoyed our dining experience here. Our first visit and will return. The scenery is great and relaxing. I had the burrata salad with eggplant and it was delicious. Filling. We also had the halibut with bok choi and the roasted chicken dinner. Everything was great. Perfect evening. The weather was perfect. Sitting outside outside it was just a beautiful night. The service was great. Our server was good. We never felt rushed to get through dinner. A very enjoyable restaurant. Food great.

Service and food were great. And what a view, great south bay

FOOD AND SERVICE EXCELLENT WOULD RECOMMEND HIGHLY

Food was great and the view is very enjoyable. Wait staff was very helpful.

The front of house manager, jerry will do everything he can to make sure you have a great meal. He is a genuine human who really cares how you feel in his restaurant.

Food is always great. Been there several times and never had an issue with quality/flavor/presentation everything is on point.

Service can be off If it’s a particularly business night but once they get Your order in you’re set. They leave a large water carafe on your table so you’re never without water (one of my Pet peeves).

Prices on some items seems a bit high. But it never stopped me from going there.

Over all, it’s a great spot. You will be happy you went.

Great location - gentleman manager extraordinarily gracious - bartender made fantastic cocktails - we will be visiting again!

Got a great outdoor table immediately!
