CARLY WAZ HERE
Hubby brought me here for a romantic date night and it did not disappoint. The service was alvery focused and attentive. The atmosphere inspired our own creativity, and the food… words can not describe how truly delicious their dishes are, order mains or follow our lead with a couple appetizers and 1/2 dozen raw oysters. Either way you will not feel robbed by their serving size, and I guarantee you’ll want to come back for more! (Especially for the clam chowder)

We were here last fall and really enjoyed the experience. Not so much this time. The service was slow, the menu less interesting and the food much more ordinary. For example, my tuna berger arrived with overcooked tuna and too much dressing on the bun. Good seafood but could be better.

Salt is arguably one of the best restaurants in Humboldt County. The food and drinks are top notch. The bill may leave you a little salty but that is the flavor of success. Try the green flash drink it is delicious.

Love their online booking, I was running late and called to let them know. Super nice and accommodating ideal customer service! It’s beautiful inside and the outside dinning area. I had the seared steelhead, it lacked flavor pretty bummed about that. My partner had the cioppino and that was sooo good! The drinks were good. Over all the food and drinks are a bit over priced. I will definitely return due to the amazing customer service and I’d like to give the food another try but I will definitely order a different dish.

Loved this place so much we tried to come back the next day! The food is freshhh and delicious! Happy hour deals were great and highly recommended. It seemed to fill up fast, and had no tables available the second day we tried to come by, so reservations to be sure. Nice selection of local beers and drinks. Fast and attentive service from the wait staff. Cute decorations and vibe with table and bar seating. Wish this place was closer as I’d be there all the time!

Went to Arcata on a quick vacation and after reading reviews decided to check this place out. I would describe it as upscale pub food and enjoyable. The fresh oysters, house made hot sauce, and crafted cocktails are fantastic! Order a Green Flash, it’s the best cocktail we’ve ever had. The staff here are awesome and were truly a highlight of our trip.
