"The Sunset Strip is a place we generally try to avoid when it comes to eating out, but Saltie Girl has softened our cold hearts. This popular Boston import in Sunset Plaza offers large-format seafood dishes, sashimi, salads, and steaks. What you need to concentrate on, though, are the classic New England-style dishes. The lobster roll, juicy bar burger, and clam chowder all have us daydreaming of becoming crusty fisherpeople. If that’s not enough, there’s a thick booklet of tinned seafood options from which you can build your own sardine plate. Hitting the Sunset Strip can be fun as long as you have the right restaurant to base your night around. Saltie Girl fits the bill." - brant cox
"Boston import Saltie Girl has quickly made itself at home in West Hollywood, where the upscale restaurant is serving lobster rolls, calamari, and clam chowder. The restaurant takes up a prime corner location, with a sizable indoor dining room and a patio perfect for warm days. Start with an impressive seafood tower stacked with oysters, clams, shrimp, and lobster, before moving into dishes like tinned fish served with crusty sourdough bread, a French Dover sole, and lobster frites. If dropping by for brunch, try the fried lobster served over a golden brown waffle. Saltie Girl is on the expensive side of things, but it’s ideal for a fancy night out or celebrating a special occasion. Save room for a warm chocolate chip for dessert." - Mona Holmes
"Their clam chowder is intentionally reduced until almost solid—thick, creamy and intensely briny—built from heavy cream and fresh clam stock with chopped clams, shallots, celery and fingerling potatoes. The bowl is finished with whole clams in the shell, a fried clam floater and crispy lardon for extra texture; the kitchen embraces an earthy, hearty, no-frills style rather than any attempt at elegance." - Adam H. Callaghan
"If you want to eat tinned fish in an LA restaurant, Saltie Girl is the holy grail. This upscale seafood spot on the Sunset Strip has a dedicated tinned fish booklet with hundreds of varieties ranging from smoked king salmon to grilled octopus to sardines in spicy tomato sauce. It’s an overwhelming list even to experienced tin-eaters, but don’t stress. Saltie Girl’s staff will walk you through everything and offer suggestions as well. After you select a tin (or tins), it’ll come on a fancy little board with crusty french bread, pepper jam, butter, and three kinds of sea salt." - brant cox, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
"Probably Pho Le, The Dubliner, and Saltie Girl. While all three have wildly different and excellent menus, the hospitality and service is the cherry on top. These are three places I always want to be." — Tanya Edwards, freelance writer and Eater Boston contributor. Praised for pairing a standout menu with warm hospitality, making it a consistently appealing destination." - Erika Adams
