This was my first time visiting Sea Salt, and I went with a group of friends—one of whom had been before. Right away, I’d recommend going during happy hour if you can. The appetizers are good, but a bit on the pricey side, so getting them half off definitely makes it feel worth it. We ordered the shrimp toast (four pieces) and the calamari, and I honestly enjoyed both.
For my entrée, I went with the chilled Maine lobster roll, which comes tossed in a lemon mayo sauce. For the price, I was pleasantly surprised to get two rolls instead of one, which felt like a win. That said, if you’re expecting the lobster to be overflowing, you might want to lower your expectations a bit. They could’ve honestly combined the lobster into one roll and I would’ve been fine. The fries were good, though I couldn’t finish them all. One of my friends ordered the Rasta pasta but didn’t seem too impressed by it.
I didn’t have any drinks, but I did notice they had a margarita and lemon drops on their happy hour menu, which looked like solid options.
As far as the overall experience goes, the restaurant itself was clean and had a great atmosphere. There was a DJ playing really good music, which added to the vibe. The hostess was friendly, and since we arrived earlier in the day, we were seated right away. The only downside to coming during the day was that parking was a bit tricky since a lot of people were out—but that’s not really the restaurant’s fault.
The one area that could really use improvement was the service. Our waitress wasn’t friendly at all and was very short with us, often walking away abruptly, which left my friends and me a bit confused. On the other hand, the busser was excellent—he stayed on top of clearing tables and keeping everything clean so guests could enjoy their meals without plates piling up.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Sea Salt. My one negative is something that could absolutely be improved with the right conversations and training. I’d definitely go back to try more dishes, because everything I saw looked really good.
