Our meals were delicious. Perfectly cooked, very creative and so tasty. The presentation was impressive. Loved the oyster selection. Also your cappuccino is spot on! Love a good coffee after a great meal. Our waiter was super friendly and had great suggestions, you could tell he enjoyed the place and was proud of dishes he served. My husband said this was one of the best meals he’s had in awhile. I think the restaurant itself is beautiful, I love the lighting and the decor, the wall art was so interesting. Thank you

Delicious food - we had oysters & clams, Salt salad, soft shell crab (outstanding) and Chilean sea bass - all delicious. Our server was initially slow in coming back to us for order, silverware, but improved. Liquor prices are high. Per glass wine price is higher than I’ll pay for a bottle. Lowest wine by glass was $12!

This was about my 6th or 7th time to Salt and I go to a lot of restaurants between my job and my home life. Quite simply, it's my favorite restaurant in New Jersey. The seafood is fresh and delicious. The drinks are made perfect (the dirty martinis with blue cheese olives were great). The service was quick but the courses are not served on top of each other. The oysters were outstanding and clearly labeled so you can try different ones. As for the price tag, you get what you pay for. I was there with a party of six and when all was said and done with drinks it came to about $130 a person. Not cheap but you are not coming here if you need a loan for your dinner. Do yourself a favor and try it.

We went here after my son's college graduation ceremony. The vibe was 10/10. We had delicious cocktails and tried all the oysters on the menu. Fresh, cold and delicious.. we are partial to east coast oysters . $4 an oyster was expensive but they were all great. They served warm and lightly toasted bread with an herb butter. I ordered the soft shell crab from the specials menu , which was lightly battered and fried beautifully with basmati rice. My older son had the seared tuna, also a special.... delicious and perfectly seared. My older son had the red snapper.. also delicious. We topped off the meal with the bananas foster topped with fresh whipped cream and maple ice cream. So good. We love seafood and have eaten at many places on Long Island, Cape Cod, Annapolis, etc. We agreed that we would come back here if ever in the area again. The menu was great and had a hard time choosing a dish .. if you love seafood and/or fish and are in the area , def make a point to try this restaurant. Our waiter.. I can't recall his name.. was attentive and well informed about the menu. Great celebration meal .

Everything was perfect. We took a friend of ours there for the first time and she couldn’t stop complimenting everything we ate! The whole experience was nothing short of amazing!

Salt never disappoints. Favorite spot for years, oysters are so fresh- like you taste the ocean itself.
