Overpriced, very disappointing experience.
While there was potential for this dining experience to be really lovely, there were so many things that went wrong, and there no managers nor chefs who attempted to apologize or repair the situation.
We went for New Year’s Eve Dinner (12/31/21), having reserved the pre fixe menu, after ensuring we would be able to enjoy a pescatarian entrée.
We were positioned at an extremely small, cramped table against the wall. Our waiter was only on his third day on the floor, and had been assigned to work a busy New Year’s Eve. While he attempted to do his

Get. The. Olive. Bread.
The experience was great from start to finish. The host and server were so friendly to us. We got our food quickly and everything was delicious! My only regret is that we got two entrees. We got 4 oysters, the olive bread, and creme brulee to split; he got the half chicken and I got the fish and chips special. I honestly could have not gotten my meal and he and I could have split the chicken. We have chicken for leftovers.
Anyway, it was all really wonderful for a couple to dine, but energetic enough to entertain a smaller group.

Great food and wonderful service, in this place that is tucked-away in the sand dunes. It's a great place for family and friends to have a drink and appetizers by the beautiful fireplace and then enjoy dinner indoor or outdoors. The service was amazing too and the people were very friendly... we will surely return soon!

Over the last four years, I have visited Salt Wood with friends and loved ones and I continue to be amazed by their service and quality of food. The flavors, the ambiance and dedication to serve amazing dishes continues to surprise me in a delightful way. The staff (front and back) are clearly passionate about giving everyone a lasting impression. keep up the great work!

Come for the kitchen, stay for the Oysterette. She dances, she twitters, she’ll steal your heart and your tastebuds and your tongue buds. She’s a real jiggler, if you know what I mean. Never underestimate the jiggle of a Oysterette. Jingle, jangle, jumbo. Slurp! Off she goes, down deep in the nethers of your gastrocean floors. Have you ever hooked a worm? I once heard a sea woman ask that of a gent. You would do well to order a double dose of the ad astra bread and never look back. It doesn’t pay to dwell on what might have been a whole loaf, Sonny.
