    While the hotel is very nice and the people in Salt are as well, pricing is some of the highest on the island, for not much presentation and quality compared to more upscale restaurants on LBI. The dining is really one big room with not much privacy. Not a place for a quiet dinner. There are many better choices for better food, ambiance, for the same price or less.

    We celebrated anniversary #49 with a fancy dinner at Salt. The food was tasty and service was great. The main detractor from our romantic dinner was a group of 5 thirty something women, who were loud and talkative. We could hear much of their conversations, and listened for the whole evening. It was loud and distracting. The dining room was large and open, and quiet until this party appeared

    The service between ordering drinks and ordering the food was slow but the meal was excellent. We did not feel rushed between the appetizer and the meal. We would definitely try it again.

    To the Management You’re doing a disservice to your wait staff. Poor planning and little Floor supervision caused us to have a VERY disappointing dining experience on Christmas Eve. 1/2 hour wait for our first drink and had to go to the bar for a second.BUT, that was a mistake. Only one bartender and he had an attitude. Over time nWe have witnessed the decline in the “ Living Room “ and Salt. But this is our last attempt in trying. You beat us down. To your wait staff, Merry Christmas!

    The service was terrible for a place that takes reservations & should know how many employees they need for a night…especially Christmas Eve. The drinks took forever from the bar & our 4 soups were brought out without spoons & of course it took so long to get someone to bring them. We didn’t order coffee or more drinks because it would take forever again.

    My husband and I have eaten at Salt Kitchen before and thought we’d bring our family on Christmas Eve. We made a 5:30 reservation as we had a 9 month old with us. Sadly, the service was very poor. It took forever for our waiter to appear at our table to even take a drink order! We didn’t get our dinners until 7:30!!! 2 hours after we sat down. Our daughter, son in law and baby had to get theirs packed to go!! Our waiter ignored us and offered no apologies!! It was not the way we planned to spend Christmas Eve with our visiting family!

    We attended breakfast with Santa and had such a nice time. Breakfast was yummy. The lattes delicious. The environment was perfect for a santa experience with our baby! We definitely will be making this a tradition.
