★★★★★ 5.0 Charles The Third · Feb 2026

Absolutely amazing experience as always! I am super amazed at the amount of difference the renovation has shown in this restaurant! It’s made it so much more vibrant and beautiful. I love the picture collages and all of the really fun decor. I really appreciate the amount of interior designing that went into this. The food as always was also amazing! She crab soup is the best as always! Highly recommend the short rib and the swordfish in particular. The rest of the building is also beautiful, I love the views that the glass windows provide and also the amount of sun light that comes through them in the mornings. Highly recommend exploring after your done eating. Every floor has a different piece of beautiful art work that has been handcrafted by a different artist wht seems like every mont

Was visiting the area from Richmond and wanted seafood so I decided to try Saltine since it seems they had such good reviews. I started off with the she-crab soup which was creamy and full of crabmeat, the charbroiled oysters and a crafted cocktail the Naked & Famous but it was a no for me. They were nice enough to allow me to switch it out for the NFK Punch which was very similar to a Jamaican rum punch. The oysters were ok but I prefer chargrilled. For my main course, I had the crab cake with the succotash, which I loved and added a scallop. The crab cake wasn’t the best I had and I did expect more lump crab. It was mushy to me but had a good flavor. The scallop was cooked perfectly. My server Tempis was awesome and very accommodating. Loved the decor, fish tanks and ambiance. Definitely

My first visit with Saltine and the service did not disappoint. Excellent from the hostess getting to the servers, and wait staff. Our server, Melinda was pleasant , knowledgeable about the menu, fast, and, efficient. The food was hit or miss—very inconsistent. I ordered a chicken breast sandwich with the toppings on the side, however I received an overly fried chicken thigh. I know because I clean and cook my chicken at home— big difference in the two raw and cooked. I selected fries for my side and they were thin, crisp and delicious. I shared some and still ate quite a few of them. I sent the chicken back and ordered a plain cheeseburger which way my kind of good with the cheese gooeyness just dripping slightly down the side of the two hand made patties and someone seasoned that beef

Great atmosphere and amazing food! My husband and I had a lunch craving for good seafood and found this place which was the best. Close to the Wisconsin battleship, and parking garages. We had a great waiter cant recall the name but he's from RHODE ISLAND BABY! His recommendation Calamari was great!!!! We recommend bringing your friends too.

Located on the street level of the Hilton Norfolk The Main, Saltine is a classic American seafood spot. It offers a fresh raw bar and cooked classics in a dark, classy atmosphere. The Food and Wine 🦪 During this quick stop, we ordered the raw bar selection. The oysters were fresh, cold, and served with all the standard accoutrements. 🍷 Drinks: We enjoyed a selection from the broad wine list (available by the glass and bottle), which offered excellent pairings for the briny oysters. Service and Atmosphere Upon entering, we were greeted by a splendid raw bar on the right and an expansive bar on the left. The space features contrasting dark/light tiling, marble surfaces, and warm lighting that creates a sophisticated mood. ⭐️ From the hostess stand to the bartenders, the service was warm,
