Very attentive and polite servers. Pleasant experience. The tarragon biscuits with honey butter were delicious. Oysters were fresh. Burrata and fig flatbread with arugula was also delightful. Main courses were satisfying. Last but not least, the dessert were scrumptious.
The only minus for us was because it was a Saturday evening, even though we had made a reservation, we were seated in a cramped table and it was occasionally drafty (the weather was cold and our table was behind the host table)
We definitely will be back.

This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.
$4.50 for Kumamoto oysters the size of my pinky nail. When I pointed it out to a blonde manager, she casually said: “Yeah, lately they’ve been coming in this small size.”
That response completely misses the point. If your supplier sends oysters that small, that’s a management problem, not something you pass on to customers. At $4.50 each, they shouldn’t be served at all. Restaurants should have standards.
All four Kumamoto oysters we received were the smallest I’ve ever seen in any restaurant, easily four times smaller than the other oysters on the menu.
We also ordered biscuits, which were undercooked.
Then we tried the bone marrow with clams, and honestly I wasn’t even sure what I was eating. There were breadcrumbs and a bone, but the only thing that resembled bone marrow was the bone itself. Dressing something up with fancy presentation doesn’t make it better — like putting a coral necklace on a pig and expecting it to become a lady.
Later our waiter disappeared. I asked another staff member because I wanted to tip him personally. After a few minutes, another manager came over and asked — in a tone like I was bothering her — “What do you want?”
A professional manager would say something like: “How can I help you?” or “I understand you’re looking for your server — let me assist.” That’s basic hospitality.
I actually stopped coming here four years ago because the entrées were bad. This time I decided to give the place another chance and ordered only appetizers.
Unfortunately, they managed to mess those up too.
At this point everything here seems bad — the management, the appetizers, and the entrées. I won’t be coming back. Highly not recommended.

If you are looking for oysters this is the place you need to be. True oyster bar with multiple local oysters to try. The biscuits with maple butter and black salt were mouth watering amazing. We split the flounder dish, which was outstanding. The little neck clams and shrimp were excellent. Our server was as sweet as pie and on point.

Went to grab a quick lunch with my sister after she got back from Fire Island.
Was pleasantly surprised with the happy hour they had to offer! Our bartenders were great, wasn’t able to catch their names though. We came just as they opened and didn’t realize they had such a great happy hour!
Obviously discounts on the drinks but was super happy to hear about their oysters on happy hour! They have a solid variety to choose from. Not going to lie though, went for whatever the dollar oysters were at that time.
Would love to be back soon for more.
Music was great, food and drinks were fantastic. Definitely somewhere to go to catch up with friends or a nice starter before you hit the rest of the spots on Main Street.

After a long week of work, it was nice to chill out with a few family members and enjoy some fresh oysters and a cocktail, but they always give us so much more for a great price during happy hour. Love this place. You never leave disappointed good food, close to home and a great value.

I absolutely love Salt & Barrel and keep coming back for so many reasons! On my latest visit, Jared the busboy and Manny our server were an amazing team—super attentive in keeping our table spotless and fresh the whole time.
Manny deserves a special shout-out. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about all the oysters and entrees, and he made great recommendations. What impressed me even more was how he picked up on a tiny social cue: he noticed I wasn’t drinking my cocktail and sensed I didn’t love it, even though I was too shy to say anything. Without missing a beat, he brought me the menu and guided me to a new drink that was absolutely perfect.
Service like this makes Salt & Barrel feel special every time. I’ll definitely keep coming back!

Vincent was a great server. Everything was excellent. The oysters were delicious, particularly the specialty oysters. Loved the warm flatbread and prosciutto with fig jam and burrata. Cocktails were exquisite and my swordfish was top tier. 10/10

I’m not the type to leave bad reviews if you look at my profile. I’ll say one thing, the food here is very good. I was very happy with the food. But I must’ve gone on the wrong night , and the likelihood I come back is very slim because of the service.
I was rushed , I had a bus boy literally reach onto my table , without asking if I’m finished , before 830 and take my full plate of food. Not only that, I waited 10 minutes for someone to pick up my check , with no body in the restaurant, god forbid I try to go to the bathroom , when I come back the server implies I was going to dine and dash. Like are you serious???
Ridiculous

We really liked this place. It was very busy when we were there, but it was not overly noisy. Our server was so nice and accommodating!! The food was really very, very good!! We had the lobster roll and the S & B Burger!! Absolutely delicious!! We can’t wait to return!

I was craving oysters and came here and it didn’t disappoint! I do wish the oysters were a tad bit bigger but everything was so delicious! The drinks were great and aesthetically pleasing. The tarragon biscuits with a slightly sweet butter were fantastic and heavenly as well as the fried calamari with seafood and veggies. The lobster roll was the best I ever had in my entire life! The buns were so buttery and tasty accompanied by a home-made potato chip. I highly recommend this spot especially for seafood and drinks! It’s beautiful inside!
