    All the food was salty and salmon over cooked. One of the Gin drinks tasted like cough medicine - had to send back. Server wasn’t friendly. We came here for my husbands birthday and unfortunatly we didn’t enjoy the restaurant - won’t be returning.

    Always a perfect 10. We could write a review every week, and probably should. We always get a great table and one of our two favorite servers, Effi or Vinny, but all of the servers are great. The drinks are over the top, the shellfish always fresh, and the food perfectly cooked. There is a reason that we go there almost once per week and will continue.

    My husband, daughter and I celebrated Easter & my birthday. The service (Emily G), was excellent. Food was amazing. We are very happy we chose salt & Barrel for today’s dinner. My husband & I go for Happy Hour, oysters and drinks, often. But today’s dinner was perfect!! Thankyou so much for a great dinner!! ♥️

    Excellent meal with varied menu. Salmon was excellent as were drinks and clams. A bit loud so not the place for romantic dinner , but great addition to south shore
