Salt Wood is a great place to stop after doing 17-mile drive. Their seafood was really fresh and all of the food was very flavorful! The patio looks out towards the beach so you can watch the sunset while eating.

We’re tourists and didn’t know dinner started at 530. They shoved 6 of us at a hot bar where they were going to grill the food for the night. We decided to order a charcuterie board while we waited for 54$. IT TOOK 35 MINUTES by the time we got our board we were “allowed” to sit at our table. The board had 3 pieces of bread and no cheese for 54 dollars and 6 people! They were really forceful about us not getting a table until 530 and it was uncomfortable and awkward for us as a group to communicate. On to the food, everything was absolutely delicious.

The overall experience was great. Very friendly staff. We ate the grill trout and grill oysters, which, by the way, was one of the best we have had so far. The food was great, and drinks were on point. I had a Manhattan up. It was very good.

Amazing service even during dinner rush. Waiters were attentive, gave good recommendations based on our preferences, and the view outside was spectacular. The bonus was a dog friendly menu, which we really appreciate.

Beware of the false google menu. They haven’t updated their menu. They have cut down on their food options. Food was horrible and very expensive for the quality and portions of food. They have your main dish without any sides , you have to buy sides to SHARE!!! People the side is for basically 1 person. Drinks are very expensive. Cadillac margarita was 18.50 for a small drink. Had dinner yesterday, party of 3. Dad had the salmon , portion was very small, husband had the ciopino, taste was bland not enough broth . I had their fillet steak, it was very tough not very flavorful. Our food was cold!!!!! We got the grilled veggies and a loaded potato, let me tell you the loaded potato $14 was a small portion for 1. I was disappointed in the food quality outdated menu in line, false advertisement. I hope this helps.

I had one dinner here, but my parents spent almost two weeks at The Sanctuary and became regulars at Salt Wood in that time. The food and drink selections were top notch, and the staff was friendly and helpful, and had recognized my parents as repeat customers in a very short time.

While the food was good, the service was horrendous. We had to ask for an oyster menu twice. After our waiter took our order (after sitting there for 20 min), we did not see him again until he dropped off a dessert menu (no thanks – check please) over an hour later. Our grilled oysters were fantastic but from there, it went downhill. The crab artichoke dip we ordered was burnt and served with olive bread instead of seeded bread (I hate olives. Later in the meal we were told they were out of seeded bread when we asked for different bread from the person who dropped off the entrees). We had cioppino which was good but wow so little food and again olive bread (soggy from being in the bowl) and mussels which were good served with potato wedges (also soggy from being in the bowl). Our waters were refilled once in 1.5 hours that this meal took and we had to flag multiple people down for that. We weren’t asked if we wanted to order another drink after our welcome glass of sparkling wine. I regret eating here and definitely will not again.

Had very high hopes of eating here after checking their online menu & pictures. Was looking forward to trying the grilled octopus and crab Mac-n-cheese. Drove a long way just to wait at the front for about 10 minutes to be seated. Nobody was there. Finally I decided to go past the front desk and ask one of the cooks if anyone can help us get a table. After that a lady came and gave us a menu with about 5 food items (which were basically only pork) and told us that “if it’s ok” that’s all they are serving right now and she can sit us. VERY disappointing! Terrible service and staff. Looked like an upscale restaurant but they need to work on their professionalism. The restaurant was empty, I’m not sure why nobody could greet us and get us a table without us asking. And the menu is very deceiving. You will not know what you can order u till you go there and they tell you what they are serving at the moment. ☹️

Came in this evening to enjoy a meal for our 20 th anniversary, we made reservations on open table and no one acknowledged our special day. I ordered a petite filet medium plus and not sure what they tryed to serve me it was like an end of pot roast dryer up and stringy, I tryed sending it back and the chef sent it back to me and said that’s what you asked for , never had that happen to me in my life very disappointed in the quality of the food and the chef lack of concern for the guest. Worst steak I’ve ever eaten . Manager did nothing.

Came in for the duck cassoulet. It was nice. Portion sizes here are appropriate for the style of food. Prices are above average, but this is an above average place. I came in at 8 for dinner
