★★★☆☆ 3.0 Regina Baker · Sep 2025

On Sunday 9/28/25 my family enjoyed dinner at Salt. Vinny our server was excellent. The food was delicious. The bathroom attendant was kind and helpful. However, we ordered 3 Casamigos margaritas. They were $20 each. We love margaritas and we love Casamigos. But, with the first sip, we got a strong, acrid alcohol flavor. That is not indicitive of Casamigos. I knew the alcohol was not what we ordered. We tried to struggle through the margaritas to not make waves, but we finally informed Vinny that the taste was just too strong and acrid to consume them. Vinny comp'ed us back for one of the drinks. The problem is when my husband and I got home we were terribly and violently sick. This made for a very bad, sleepless night. I think switching out the alcohol in a beverage for a cheaper one do

It was my first time going to this restaurant. I have to say it was absolutely delicious. Service was amazing, the drink I ordered was very very good, and food delicious! We saw someone get engaged and the restaurant did a great job it was beautiful. I will definitely be going again.

DO NOT order oysters and clams. Very disappointed over half of the seafood tower we ordered. Oysters and little clams were not fresh at all (you can see it’s yellow & the meat is dry) a staff said we just “didn’t like it” and that no one complained that day (well they should’ve, I’m not kidding when I said I had $1 oyster that exact weekend in NY better than that). If the source of the oysters and clams does not change, don’t get them! The restaurant replaced the oysters with fresher ones and didn’t charge for the little clams. I still left 20% tips since our server was nice.

Oysters were great! Wish the burrata appetizer came with bread or something more dense aswell. The zucchini chips were pretty good. I got the Caribbean salmon which was to die for, seasoned well and we got sangria which is always good , group of 9 , good atmosphere and it was busy for a Monday night but the staff and servers were nothing but kind and attentive . Will be back’
