SALT Restaurant & Bar

From start to finish I had an amazing experience. I was very impressed with the kind and attentive service, especially from Ginger. She was a pleasure to talk to and made sure I was well satisfied, along with the other very nice woman. I had the avocado himmus, pheonomenal, and the seabass, excuistite, had a great view too, very relaxing overall. I would come again and with friends for sure

I came to Salt while visiting Marina Del Rey and had their loco moco, chilaquiles and calamari. It was fresh and delicious and the view is soothing!

Really enjoyed this hidden gem. It is right in the Marina and has a great patio and space. I had dinner and drinks and enjoyed the large selection they had. I would absolutely go back!

This restaurant is definitely on the pricer side. The steak was welly prepared and the shredded bacon sweet sauce on top of the beef was quite surprising. No unlimited sour dough provided. The meatballs were great too, dipping in the flavorful tomato sauce. Having dinner while enjoying the sunset was pretty romantic but do remember to bring a pair of sunglasses while you wait for the twenty-sec orange sunset. It can get pretty cold by the ocean so also prepare a light jacket with you. Overall, it was a nice dining experience

From time to time a seafood tower will walk into your life that must have. This was one of those, stacked with fresh crisp assortment of crustaceans. I followed the tower up with poke which did not disappoint. Great location and view of the harbor! We had a large group that enjoyed all the waterfront restaurant had to offer.

There is nothing like sitting out on the terrace admiring the boats while having a nice drink. This is my experience at Salt. Whats interesting is one side or terrace can be hot while the other is cool with fire pits on. It has to do with the sun setting. The food is delicious especially the lollipop pork chops. The Caesar salad is pretty good and the burger is delicious.

Saturday Happy Hour with Marina views! They offer a nice HH, with a good selection of starters & cocktail, starting at 2:30 til 6:30. We enjoyed the Ahi Poke with won ton chips so much, we ordered 2, and the avocado hummus with fresh crudites'. They have an extensive wine list as well and a menu with many options, sure to please everyone.All in all a nice time and a stroll along the marina path. One star less for service, they seemed a bit short staffed.

One sees a beautiful marina and thinks wow a 5 star spot. Let start there and work our way to how we ended up at 2 stars. Hostess seemed to be having a bad day, took us all of two seconds to reply to her “do you have a reservation” question before she sharply asked again. But we continue, still unbiased at this point. Still 5 stars. Sat down at 7:30, wasn’t acknowledged by waitstaff for 10 minutes. The time is now 7:50 and we finally get the drinks we ordered. 4 stars. We ordered the calamari to start as an appetizer, ordered at 7:40, 8pm it makes an appearance. The taste, as if the oil it was fried in hadn’t been changed in over a week, it tasted dirty and burnt almost. 3 stars. 8:20 our main shows up, an opened face steak sandwich and a Ceasar salad and some French fries. Fries, cold and stale and only a few whole pieces the rest were the bits and ends. The steak sandwich “open face” was basically smotheeed in steak sauce. The ceasar salad… I had romaine lettuce butts throughout it, making the whole thing extremely bitter. The dressing flavorless and watered down. 2 stars. Overall the food was well below what you’d expect for a place right on the marine, the wait times were also though the roof for basic acknowledgment.

The food was amazing and the staff were great! Beautiful outdoor seating next to the marina which was perfect for sunset dinner. Plenty of outdoor heaters to keep guests warm outside.

One of the nicest and best valet services I've ever experienced is right here. We left the restaurant for a yacht cruise with friends and enjoyed everything - the restaurant, the cruise, and the hotel. Such a great vacation vibe, cool people, excellent service, and the ones who truly made my day were the valet staff. Thank you so much - definitely 5 stars!

I'd like a refund on the last three hours of my life. I saw that this restaurant had a 3.7 rating and I really should have listened. That's being generous. This restaurant had all the potential for a lovely evening: waterfront setting, good menu, decent vibes. What we got instead? A three-hour masterclass in being ignored, underfed, and low-key irritated. Let's start with the heater situation. It's a patio. On the water. So yes, it gets breezy. We asked three separate times for the heater next to our table to be turned on--eventually, they did. But it was still chilly, and when the table next to us asked to have a heater moved between our tables, the restaurant flat-out refused. Instead, they handed us blankets like we were settling in for a campfire. Cozy? Sure. But maybe just invest in more heaters. Our server started off perfectly pleasant--until we politely asked to move one table over to be closer to the heater before we had even ordered. From that point on, the tone shifted. Suddenly we were "that table." The table next to us--who sat down after we did--got their appetizer before us. Then a second appetizer was mistakenly brought to them. When they told the runner it wasn't theirs, we jumped in and said, "That's ours." The runner looked confused, wandered off, then came back a few minutes later with it. Cool, glad our food got to tour the patio before it hit our table. Then they got their entrées before us, too. When our server finally walked by, he didn't stop--just tossed out, "The kitchen's behind, but I saw your order." Thanks for that drive-by update. When our food finally arrived, most of it was forgettable. The bisque? Lukewarm and suspiciously tomato-heavy. Trader Joe's microwave soup is infinitely better. My salad? Not bad, but plated with all the dressing hidden underneath like a secret. After a couple bites, I knew I'd need more dressing. Here's where the real test of endurance began: I sat there, in front of my half-eaten salad, scanning the patio for our server. For a solid 20 minutes. My friends were nearly finished eating before I even had the chance to try enjoying my meal. I finally caught the server's eye. He saw me--clearly--and held up one finger before running back inside (I had hoped because he'd realized we were still missing our side dish). I waited. And watched. He came back out. Empty-handed. Walked right past our table and took another table's entire order before even glancing back at us. Not a word. Not a "be right with you." Nothing. I cannot stress enough how frustrating it is to sit in front of a $300 meal and feel like an afterthought. When he eventually made it back to us, it was with a casual "hey," not "sorry for the wait" or "do you need anything?" We had to tell him we were still missing our side dish, which he said he'd check on. When it finally came out, it was decent--but again, not hot. The skillet it arrived in was barely warm. To be fair, he ended up copying this appetizer, but in my opinion, that was the least they could've done. It wasn't doing us any favors when we received our side dish after half of our party was already finished with all of their meal. To be fair, we did see him again--when he cleared the plates and dropped the check. No final check-in. No "How was everything?" Just a quick clean-up and cash-out. We paid the nearly $300 bill and left. If we hadn't already been stuck there for 3 hours, I might've asked to speak to a manager. But at that point, I just wanted to go home and eat something that didn't make me feel like I was on an episode of Survivor: Coastal Dining Edition. There are too many great restaurants in LA to waste your time and money here on bad service and mediocre and overpriced food.

Let's start this horrible experience!!!!! First we were seated in a section with a server who either was WAY too stressed out or had the WORST attitude, never quite figured it out. We then had a okay meal, it wasn't bad, but now is where the fun begins. We received the check, it was $313, great so we put $60 on one credit card, $100 in cash and the rest on another credit card. Now for you non math people this would equal $153. When the check came back to the table the card was charged $213. So we talk to a female manager, I wish we got her name, she was SO RUDE, mad at us questioning where the $100 dollar cash went. She rolled her eyes at my husband and was getting upset. So really rude manager leaves and we get another manager, so we are now at 40 minutes, waiting to solve this. So then another manager cancelled the charges and did the transaction over, $60 credit card, $100 cash and should have been $153, with an offer of a 10% discount, which would be around $137, we now have a charge pending of $172. So pending charge of $213 and pending charge of $172. I will update but as of right now we still have overpaid. So I guess the moral of this story is watch your money at this place and it took over an hour to have it not done correctly.

We had Saturday brunch at Salt, and it was amazing. Great view of the marina, comfy and beach-y ambiance, service was very quick, The plates were tasty and colorful. Highly suggested for weekend brunch

I always enjoy a restaurant near the beach with equally great food. This spot provides you great views of the marina, cool breeze and equally amazing food. First let's start with appetizers. The Avocado Hummus which is seasoned crudités vegetables, capers, pine nuts, and grilled garlic pita makes your tastebuds go wild as the flavors are fresh and delicious. The Fried Calamari with spicy aioli, lemon, and parsley has an equally great flavor profile. The entrees will not disappoint, as their boneless ribeye has your heart jumping for joy with each bite. The other options they have are great choices as well. To wash these beauties down, try their Garrison Brothers SB Old Fashioned or their margarita. Service is great as the staff is friendly and helpful with any questions or suggestions. Parking is at either the public lot or you can park at the library for free.

We went in for an early dinner. We started with some fantastic drinks. We had a substantial delicious calamari appetizer and shrimp cocktail. The calamari was some of the best I've had, fresh and well-seasoned. My daughter had the Ahi tuna, and I had the pork ragu. We also had a burrata caprese that is delicious and huge. Both of these were delicious; the tuna is small. We ended with burnt cheesecake and passion fruit sorbet. The service was outstanding, kind, and courteous but not intrusive. The marina side seating is comfortable and lovely, as you'd expect. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, too. I highly recommend you check out SALT if you're in the area.

Good food....Loco Moco is a must try. I always recommend to sit outside and have a great view when you have your meal.

We loved the food, the view and the service here. Check out our video review @TripoutwithSadieandRandThom

The food was delicious with a beautiful view of the harbor. Our waiter Marcos was fantastic. Check out our video review @TripoutwithSadieandRandThom

Ahhh, my old trusty. Whenever my girlfriends and I can't decide where to go for brunch or a nice outdoor dinner we always picked here. They do have indoor seating, but I can't comment on it. I always like anywhere that has nice views of the water. So I always pick to sit outside I haven't been here in a couple years, but I used to come all the time. I met my girlfriend here to catch up and thought this would be the perfect place. It hasn't changed a bit Service is still great, we had the lovely, Jen. She was so attentive and wasn't annoyed when we kept chatting without looking at the menu They have a lot of great options. We went with lunch items instead of breakfast / brunch Espresso martinis Cheeseburger - no onion or tomato California turkey club cheesecake (they brought it out for my birthday) (I just noticed they have 10 percent off with check in. So keep that in mind lol. Because we didn't notice) This place is absolutely lovely during the evening when they have all their fire pits going. Today, it was warm out and they had them going. We had to ask them to turn it off because it was too hot. Again, they were great about it and had someone turn it off immediately. They also brought over an umbrella to our table without us having to ask since it was so sunny outside. I was lucky and did get up close parking with my handicap sticker. They do offer valet and other parking in lots not too far away. This place is conveniently located in the Marina Del Rey hotel. You go right past the check in desk and it's right outside. They also are dog friendly

Sunshine, warm weather, and a great view all wrapped up on the outdoor patio of SALT. The perfect combination for a Sunday lunch with a good friend. *SALT is located inside The lobby of the Marina Del Rey Hotel. Head towards the front desk and to your right. Jen was our server. She didn't rush us to order while we chatted and caught up. We finally ordered: The California Turkey Club w/fries 5/5 - big portion, fresh and delicious. The SALT Cheeseburger 5/5 - also huge. The Espresso Martini - 3/5 no foam on top and too much vodka. We both boxed up our left overs for later and continued to chat for another 2 hours. lol. *Very laid back and the view of the marina was lovely. *Valet parking only at the hotel *Free Public parking in LOT 5 - I parked here.

Service was fine but the food was mediocre and you are required to valet no matter what, $10 Tried the calamari and the Brussels sprouts.. skip the Brussels sprouts as they are soggy and sad. Flavor was alright. Calamari was standard and didn't make any particular impression.

Back again for the Fourth of July had a delicious meal once again the scallops were amazing and here is a picture below our server. Natalie was once again absolutely on point and it was nice to see Jessy who we haven't seen in years.

First, I'll start with the positives: The location of this restaurant (right on the water in MDR) and the adorable, kitschy-nautical-MCM decor are really lovely and fun. But very little else about our experience was particularly good. Some girlfriends and I went to Salt for high tea on a recent Sunday. I've learned that restaurants who only "dabble" in offering a tea service are rarely very good at it, and it turned out that Salt was no exception (the tea was a new offering). My girlfriends and I are tea aficionados. So when we saw that Salt's tea - the centerpiece of the offering - consisted only of a box of tea bags with very few choices, we knew what we were in for. (A really great high tea will offer a printed tea menu with both classic and unusual options, including detailed descriptions of tasting notes and origins; and the tea will be served loose leaf). Aside from the actual tea, it was immediately clear that the restaurant's employees were not used to serving a high tea. First of all, when our friend made a reservation, paying in advance, she had made certain dietary requests in writing. But our server looked at us blankly when we brought up these requests. Then, later in the meal, a manager came over and again asked us how we had made these requests - so, clearly, no one was looking at the notes accompanying the reservations. And the food itself? Not particularly good or very special. For example, most of the little sandwiches were just tiny brioche buns filled with various salads (egg, chicken, etc.) The proportion of salad to bread was off, so most of us just ate the salad out of the bun, and left a pile of uneaten brioche buns on our plates. And the scones: Really not good. With the density and dryness of a bad holiday fruitcake, they weren't very appetizing. But even worse: The restaurant inexplicably cut all the scones into quarters (wedges). I have never been served a scone cut into wedges at any high tea.... Ever.... In my whole life. At the end of the tea, a huge pile of those dense wedges littered our plates, uneaten. And also weird: The servers initially served us not enough petit fours for the size of our group. Then, when we expressed confusion, brought out MORE towers than the number of people in our group -- two of which were jumbo-sized and took up half the table. When we again expressed confusion, consensus was that since we were at least covered, we should just let it go. The sweets on the tray were not particularly interesting or refined, but they were fine: A bunch of crayola-colored macarons (green, bright pink, etc.), and some tiny squares of various cheesecakes. Bottom line: While I'd love to give SALT an "A" for effort, they honestly didn't make that much effort. I don't think I'll return for the tea, although I might return for a regular meal or happy hour.

Used to be regulars here. But recently when we ate there 2 people in my party got food poisoning here and after three calls with different people who work there the feedback we got was others didn't get food poisoning?? Wow. So 2 people getting it isn't enough? Very bad customer service. Very disappointing

Decided to patronize this brunch spot after the UCLA graduation. They were able to accommodate 8 people very quickly. We were able to use the valet so we didn't have to hassle with parking. They did not have room outdoors on the marina so we sat indoors near the bar. We had "Mo" as our server and she was hands down the BEST server. She was attentive and helped us decide on food and drinks. Honestly her energy was unmatched. She helped us celebrate our special occasion and we enjoyed all our meals. I don't remember everything we got but a couple of Burgers, french toast, chilaquiles, omelette, turkey avocado bacon sandwich and a whole lot more than I took pictures of. But the food, service and location were all great. But most importantly "Mo" had that energy that made it a brunch to remember. Thank you MO! We will be back!

We booked a dinner here with friends to enjoy the Marina Del Rey Christmas Boat Parade, and overall, it was a great experience. The table location was excellent, and as always, the ambiance with the marina view was hard to beat. Despite the chilly evening, the restaurant provided plenty of lawn heaters to keep us warm and comfortable. The food was delicious, though there was a hiccup with my partner's order of the pork ragu--it was never served due to a mix-up. Fortunately, we had already enjoyed the lobster bisque, which was rich and flavorful, along with crispy French fries as a side. My braised short ribs were perfectly cooked, tender, and generously portioned, so it was easy to share. For dessert, we opted for the bread pudding, which was warm, comforting, and a perfect way to end the meal. While we loved the evening, we weren't able to get a full view of the boat parade from our table. Lesson learned--we'll plan differently next time if watching the parade is a priority. Parking was convenient with valet service, and the $10 validation for 4 hours was a nice perk. Overall, it was a lovely evening with great food and good company. Apart from the one-off mistake with the order, the service was attentive, and everyone in our group had a fantastic time. We'll definitely be back! Unfortunately, I was having too much time with my friends that I forgot to take pictures of the food, except for us as friends

I've been to Salt for brunch a few times and it's always amazing food and drinks! The beet martini is to die for. It tastes like a fresh juice but with vodka. I love their food! The tacos are so good and same with the ham Benedict. The bread was crispy and the calamari is also crisp and cooked perfect! Our server was so attentive and friendly! He helped us make decisions and boxed up our food! I took my Mom here on her last day in town visiting and she enjoyed the view! It's colorful, clean, and right on the water! We love Salt!!!!!

Salt Restaurant and Bar was an okay experience. I went for Dine LA, which was $35 per person for a three-course meal. I got to try all three starters--the calamari was standard but good, the burrata with tomatoes was fresh, and the clam chowder was decent but nothing special. The main course was a letdown. The pork ragu tasted watered down, like something I could make better at home with basic ingredients. Dessert was the highlight--the banana pudding wasn't too sweet and paired well with the fruit, and the tiramisu was solid. Service was disappointing. Our server never checked in, and we had to ask for everything. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

So glad to have found this place! It's tucked away in a really nice hotel in MDR and the setting is fantastic... we sat outside overlooking the marina on a cool Sunday late morning for a birthday brunch. We had.... Cheeseburger - looked fantastic and he said it was cooked just right. Poke Bowl - she said it was amazing and looked like very generous portion Smoked Salmon plate - the second time by gorgeous companion had this and she said it was just as good. Large portion and she had plenty to bring home. I had the turkey club sandwich - I only ate half and saved the rest for later. Service was excellent. Unfortunately, valet is the only parking option, and it's $10. A great place to have a relaxing weekend brunch, and if you have out-of-towners to show a great Southern California experience, give this place a shot.

Very good service and food! My new favorite place! Very relaxing. Great place to watch a sunset!

Was attending their Meet Your Makers event, Maker's Mark. Got a drink at the bar that has great selections. Patio is facing the ocean and they hit live music. Dana is gracious host, who makes sure the events are going smoothly. Don't forget to check out their food menu, their Hawaiian Ahi Tuna Poke is delicious.

Came with my family here recently and we had a great view of the Marina. It's located on the backside of the hotel. The food was pretty good and our server was very helpful. It's a little pricey but nothing unexpected. I'll definitely be back to try all of the other dishes and cocktails.

Visiting from San Diego and NYC. Needed a place to eat and relax before heading to airport. Found marina del Rey hotel with a very cool vibe. The salt restaurant had an inviting outdoor sofa seating directly on the harbor. Good espresso martini and margaritas. Best was the pesto burrata with tomatoes. Lobster cocktail good just not enough. Still hungry we went inside to watch the nva game and enjoy mahi fish tacos . We were talking to the efficient and friendly manager who informed us of dessert! We were sold on the yummy ice cream sundaes with Dulce de leche filled churros and Carmel sauce. Enough for 3 to share and be happy! Prices were reasonable.

We just went here for dineLA and the food was really good but if we didn't do dineLA I probably wouldn't go because the regular menu for the stuff we got is v pricey for what it is. We got the short ribs and they were really good! So moist. Ask them to give u pieces that are not fatty bc they really did give us good pieces when I said that to them in advance. Ambiance is really nice at nighttime with the lights on and boats nearby. I'm not a fan of boat view but the restaurant is cute at nighttime.

Came here for drinks and appetizers. The service was absolutely terrible. We received drinks but no one ever came back so we could order an appetizer. We were at the bar for over an hour before we got up. A man named Jesus was behind the bar. We were under the impression that someone had purchased our drinks. After Jesus ignored us at the bar for a very long time, he had someone chase us down with a bill after we got up to leave. We gladly took care of it but I would not recommend this place and will never come back. Terrible service and no accountability!! Jesus was SO rude after the miscommunication on drinks. Cannot believe he's working in a customer service position.

Came here to bid good luck and see you soon to some friends who are moving out of state. Can't beat the view at dusk : boats bobbing, sun setting and harbor seals barking! The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor dining, some nights with live music entertainment, happy hour for those who need to unwind. Our group of 12 has reservations and we're were seated quickly even as some were still arriving. Valet parking available, there did not seem to be any public parking but we managed to snag empty spots with no problem. Friendly and helpful waiter Benny, suggested upgrading the lam chop appetizers from three to six more to share. Appetizers : solid 8/10. Lamb chop lollipops served with frisée on tatziki, Spicy meatballs in marinara sauce, crispy calamari, and some complementary buttered toast. A very nice Pinot noir called Meiomi was great accompaniment. I got as a meal the crab cake and a side of crispy roasted Brussels sprouts. The crab cake was adequate but it was too finely processed or maybe from frozen : 5/10. I did see a nearby table order the seafood tower and that looked impressive enough. Filet mignon served as requested by other diners : medium rare, they seemed to enjoy this. jidori chicken and PEI mussels in white wine also were served to others who had no complaints. Chef Gerree came out to greet us and very generously sent out desserts to share. Two of us had February birthdays but we both had candles to blow out ! I thought that was very sweet: Basque cheesecake: 10/10 Coffee chocolate mousse: 10/10 Mini almond muffins were both crunchy and moist: 15/10 : I could eat a whole dozen they were delectable. Good for out of town guests to experience.

This has become a go to date spot for me. Whether its dinner overlooking the marina or coming for one of their free music nights. The ambience is amazing. I especially like coming in the fall where you can cozy up next to the fire and listen to music from amazing local artist. Parking is super easy (valet) and the staff is so kind. Drinks are average price for LA but are actually strong so it feels worth it. Love this place!

This is a review for the bar. As a guest of the hotel we went to have a drink and apps. Ignored by the waitress and bartender - I was beginning to think we were invisible. Drinks sat on the bar for quite a while before they were brought out. Ambivalent attitude (does the wait staff know they work for tips?) - no hustle. Plus the bartender was not using full shots in the beverages he was making... assume to save money for the hotel. Won't be back.

Great food, fast and friendly service with the perfect t date atmosphere! We ordered the Ahi Tuna Poke and Loco Moco. Both dishes were delicious and I am excited to return!

Food was great! We had an amazing server, Rember, that made our dining experience memorable. He has great customer service skills and was very accommodating

Had a wonderful seafood dinner at SALT and I must say I was unexpectedly impressed with the food, service and overall value. Our server, Marcos, was amazing and attentive. We started with the lamb lollipops and crab cake, which were both delicious. For entrees, we shared the surf & turf and scallops, which were superb. The serving sizes were great, as we left a tiny bit on the plate after feeling satisfied. To top it off, we had the delectable bread pudding with vanilla ice cream on the side. Fantastic!! I highly recommend and will definitely be back!

I was there for NYE and my friend and I had a great time. Food was great, service and ambiance were great. I loved my beet infused cocktail which was very unique, definitely never had or heard of one before! Watching the fireworks from their outdoor area with the fire pits was wonderful!!! Thank you for the beautiful experience, will definitely be back.

The food is a bit pricey but enviroment was nice. The staff was kind and attentive. We were there for lunch but seems the bar gets busy right after. Great for groups of people and work events. Great location and great views.

The food was average, and I was particularly disappointed with their entrees especially the surf and turf. Priced at $98, the portion size was unexpectedly small. The others ordered steak, a steak sandwich, and ahi tuna. When the server asked about our sides, we were not informed that they were not included with the entrees, resulting in an additional charge of $12 to $16 per side for a total of four sides. (I guess we should have checked before ordering but usally in other places it's already included with the entrees). Our toddler enjoyed the lobster bisque but stopped midway after chewing on a small lobster shell that she eventually spat out. The cocktails were also average, and we encountered a hair in one of the drinks. However, the server promptly provided a replacement. Ambiance was nice but we will NEVER go back to this restaurant. You pay for the view for sure.

Recently tried this place for the first time. We went for a brunch meal on a weekend. It was easy to get a reservation for an outdoor table with a view of the harbor. Parking was valet only for a $10- fee. Staff was friendly and helpful offering a blanket to sit on the damp bench. The food was GOOD but not great in my opinion. Portion sizes were very generous. Surprised by the amount of food on each plate. I had steak and eggs and it was a huge steak. Just not especially flavorful or tender. The eggs were just okay and it quickly turned cold due to sitting outside in the breeze. The service was great just wish the food was a bit better.

Understandably the huge draw with restaurants in locations like these are the scenic views. Food tends to be subpar and overpriced bc of the setting. We ordered from the bar menu and it was fine. My mom enjoyed her calamari and I thought the burger was good. Nothing exceptional or memorable but it was good. Clam chowder was decent. Not worth the price IMO for the size and taste. It's better at beach and brew which is close by. The service was disappointing. The girl had a generally displeasing attitude and resting B face the whole time. Like she couldn't be bothered to be there. She barely came by the table and we had to wave her down when she did. We were barely done ordering before she was already walking away. We said excuse me bc we were gna order something else but she was already half way down the room. She was behind the bar most of the time as we went before dinner rush and there weren't many tables. At one point I walked up to the bar to ask a question. The bartender and waitress were just laughing and testing the ales. After I spoke the bartender just stared and then walked away without saying a word. That was weird. I then shuffled after the waitress trying to get her attention. She looked at me and walked away too. I continued following her down the bar until she eventually turned around to me again looking annoyed. Not sure if this is her normal face and attitude or if they were both having a bad day but it was a turn off from an otherwise pretty coastal setting.

Let me prelim this by saying that I have worked in food and drink service in the past, and did so for over a decade. Also, Marco has been very helpful, but he came on shift and had to help before him started serving because his coworkers wouldn't. Feel free to look at my previous reviews to see that I don't just negative talk anyone. So here's what happened: - first time at bar: someone ordered fireball shots in my group and the bartender was rude. She said "we don't have fireball. Go to a different bar." It was said rudely. - second time at bar: zero eye contact for at least 10 minutes. There were 4 people sitting there and no one waiting. - third time at bar: 15 minutes with no acknowledgment and no one in line. I asked if they were closed and was ignored. My friend got a little loud and rude and said "excuse me!". They acted like we were insane. And look, I get that my friend was in the wrong for being rude, but after 15 minutes of being ignored when no one else was waiting, I understand being fed up. Anyway, the two women working today were not nice. I don't mind waiting when the staff is polite and communicates! But it was intentional today. Never again.

What a beautiful place i thought. Nice servers i thought. Showed the menu. We decided on something light. Caesar salad w chicken, Cup of clam chowder, and a breakfast burito. $90. 1) this meal isnt worth $20 2) i can get the same items and better tasting for cheaper. 3) ambiance isnt that great The caesar salad had too much dressing. Salty and soggy mess. Waiter didnt tell us they charge for protein. So my burrito cost $16. If you want meat in it, it will cost $16 more dollars. That's $32 for a mediocre burrito. Wow. Waiter didnt even say anything about the upcharge and it didnt even say in the menu. So if i order a burger, do i gotta pay extra for the meat? I wast willing to find out. The only thing that was decent was the clam chowder.

We came here on a Saturday night. We opted to sit inside because it was chilly outside - I think probably the best part of this restaurant is sitting outside overlooking the marina and the boats, so we missed that. Our table of six opted to order pretty much all of the appetizers for dinner. Highlights: Avocado hummus (comes with lots of yummy veggie and pita to dip), tuna tartare (delish), crab cake (solid). Lows - fried calamari (over-fried), oysters (not bad, but teeny-tiny), prosciutto and Burata (the prosciutto was almost glued to the plate) Drinks were good (Walking in LA - yum). Overall, fine experience but way too expensive for what it is (I guess it's hotel pricing).

Location 4: Inside the Marina Del Rey Hotel in (guess where?) Marina Del Rey, CA. Valet Parking only, $10 with validation plus tips. Venue 4: Indoor and Outdoor seating (with heaters and fire pits) and also a bar area. Nice views of the Marina. Drinks 3: Full bar. Creative specialty cocktails. Extensive list of spirits, wine and beer. Drinks were nice but rather small for the price. Food 4: Smaller menu of appetizers, main courses, and desserts. They have a caviar menu also :) We had the Lobster Bisque, Ahi Poke, Avocado Hummus, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Filet Mignon, the Short Rib, and the Chicken Marsala (which is actually a half chicken with the bone in, not your traditional scallopini style Chicken Marsala). For dessert we had the Tiramisu (delicious!) and gelato. I have posted pictures of all. Food was delicious, yet a bit pricey. Service 2.5: Our server was friendly but not very attentive. For the prices they charge, service should be top notch. Our water glasses stayed empty often. He also padded our check a bit by not telling us that the sides were at extra charge, serving us double Cappuccinos instead of Cappuccinos at 50% higher price, and by conveniently adding a 20% tip for himself, whereas tipping under 6 guests should be discretionary according to their menu. Management 1: Management appears to be MIA. The place is disorganized for a high-end restaurant. You enter the restaurant from the hotel lobby and after circling around and asking around, find out that the reception desk is away from it all, on the patio! We never saw any managers or supervisors. No one checked on us to see how things were going. Last but not least, they should never allow their waiters to arbitrarily add tips to checks, etc. The last word 3: The wait staff and management need to do much better! Location and food are great. Drinks are OK. But you really expect more from a higher-end restaurant.

I went there for an event and got to try some of their food and wow!! I am saving up to actually dine in because the food is superb!!! Service is as amazing and on top of the appetizers and the ambiance is amazing!

Amazing experience! The food was delicious , the pork chops were layered with flavor and the best I've ever had! The marg was made with fresh ingredients and was delicious. Our waiter Pablo and server Javi were very professional and described all the food in detail when we asked for opinion on menu. Great place to catch a sunset !

oh my goodness so expensive!!!! yikes!!!!! soooo overpriced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Lovely Saturday morning breakfast at SALT. The food is good, the service is great and the atmosphere is relaxing.

The attention was awful!! The waiter made us feel uncomfortable and he was incapable of splitting the check.

The ambiance is perfect! Right in the Marina. Great outdoor seating. On Friday night they had live music. I didn't stay much after the music started but it was a nice experience. The food was ok. We had French fries and calamari. The calamari was cooked perfect! The service was lacking.

Nice place, food is ok. You go for the Ambience and location. Drinks are good but a bit expensive for what it is.
