From start to finish the evening was splendid! The perfect place to celebrate our daughter’s 28 birthday. Fresh Nova Scotia oysters, aromatic cocktails, new on the menu, steamed mussels served with artisan incredible Otto bread. The piece de resistance was the service delivered by Shannon! From her descriptions and terminology to her passion of her trade and the space in which she is able to share her knowledge. Thank you all!

This is our 3rd time coming here for the thanksgiving buffet, all food was delicious except for the calamari ceviche which was very under seasoned.
Our server was great but the bartender was not so great, she did not want to make a drink from their menu because it had to be done a certain way and loudly stated that “they should just order something else”. Our table was close to the bar so we heard her displeasure about making the drink that we ordered.
Other than that it was great.
I had the driftwood old fashion (seasonal drink).

Went for our anniversary dinner with some friends and had an amazing time. The food was spectacular, cocktails were on point, and a very nice cozy vibe.

Definitely on the pricey side but worth it for a nice dinner out. The Cauliflower was phenomenal and the servers were so accommodating. Recommend a try!

Been here so many times. The last time Justin and Nestor took such good care of us and went the extra mile. We’ve definitely had some creative stuff here. Passionfruit hot sauce? What?! We’ve really enjoyed the oysters, trout, and duck. Sit at the bar to watch the grill! It smells so good because of the wood fire. The cocktails are quite nice and it’s a really pretty restaurant.
Brunch here is also awesome. I love the breakfast burrito and the burger. And they have a puppy menu and treat them like VIPs. So incredibly sweet.
It’s a special restaurant in a special resort. Thank you for being so dog-friendly.

I had the clam chowder, it had bacon in it, absolutely delicious. I’ll be back for that! I only gave a 4/5 because the oysters were so small, I really expected them to be at least bigger than mussels. I could have driven down to Safeway and had bigger. The place is lovely and chill. The drinks and service were another reason to check this place out.

What a phenomenal experience salt wood was. Andrew our server was absolutely top notch. We came here off a past employee and colleagues recommendation; Derek did not steer us wrong and salt wood definitely did not disappoint, oysters were amazing, the duck was to die for, and the chicken was incredible. I would have worked my way through the whole menu if we were in town longer. Incredible staff , awesome ambiance, the guys shucking oysters and cooking over an open flame right in front of you was a seriously next level connoisseur experience. 10/10 recommend. Go out of your way if you’re not in the immediate area and definitely make a reservation beforehand, this place was packed.

Such a beautiful restaurant! We came here right at opening during happy hour, so we had the place all to ourselves.
We got some apps at the bar and enjoyed the decor and conversations with the staff.
The oysters were delicious and elegantly prepared. We taste tested all the various preparations, and the Gilroy Garlic was our favorite.
The margaritas are super good!

Really pretty set up, both inside and outside. Been here three times now and have sat outside each time and it’s been really nice each time. The menu is seasonal, which is nice, to try some new things, and it’s a generous amount of food. We’ve enjoyed our food each time but really hoping the dessert options and quality picks up in the future, that was unfortunately a miss for us on both counts.

I thought I was going to pop in for a burger. The menu had me questioning my choice. I asked the waitress and went with her suggestion. I’m so glad I did! The scallops were perfectly cooked. The risotto was very flavorful. You could taste the fresh pea greens and the lardo. It worked well together. I can’t wait to try more of the menu.
