We arrived on a rainy Friday, right at 4pm for happy hour. The bar filled out over the course of the two hours but the tables were also available for happy hour specials. Scott was our primary bartender and was a wonderful host! We really enjoyed each dish and would order everything again! Our favorite stand-outs were (of course) the wide variety of oysters, the roasted oysters (with sun dried tomato as our favorite of the two), and steamer clams! We also very much enjoyed the tender octopus, truffle fries (shoestring), tempura shrimp, and tuna tartare.
Blue points were on special for $1.75 each, two kinds of clams for $1.25, along with a selection of $10 cocktails and a few discounted appetizers. Full menu was available during happy hour as well. The only drawback we had was it was moderately difficult to get a parking spot in the lot at 4pm and impossible to get one at 6pm. We had people following us the entire walk.

Very good place, good atmosphere and excellent food!!!
We were very satisfied with our food.
It was a pity that when we wanted to order more oysters it was not possible for 20 minutes late, the kitchen closes at 9:00 pm and we ordered a little more shells and oysters at 9:20, the person who prepares the food was willing to prepare a little more for us but the waiters told us no.
Anyway, we had a good time, the girl who received us at the entrance was very kind.

Well I really wanted to give Saltaire 4 stars but the service was a little below my expectations. The food was completely on point. The food was beyond good. What was disappointing was the service. Our waiter didn’t seem all that interested in our needs. We meet friends here to enjoy local fare and we got decent for value but we also like to be well cared for when we’re dining.
As far as food.. the branzino is awesome.. the desserts are tasty and the grilled octopus is awesome.. it would just be awesome if the staff understood what good service looks and feels like.
I surely recommend this place for the food as it was a great experience. I hope they get it together from a service level.. enjoy

I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Saltaire Oyster Bar and Fish House. The oysters were exceptional, the Caesar salad delightful, and the fish dishes were incredibly tasty. However, the lobster pasta lacked flavor, which was a bit disappointing. The outstanding service, though, truly made the overall experience memorable and deserving of a 5-star rating.

My wife and I came here for dinner in a Friday night. The restaurant has great décor and ambience and our server Michael was amazing; very polite, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. My wife ordered the Hendricks Mint Tini to drink and they brought us some cornbread to start. My wife loved the Mint Tini, said it was very refreshing and light. The cornbread is easily the best I’ve had outside of Mississippi.
For our appetizers we got the steamed crab and shrimp dumplings and the roasted fingerling potatoes. The dumplings were fantastic, it made me wish we would have ordered more! Great seafood flavor, tender wrapper, and the ponzu was great. The potatoes were nice and crispy and salty.
For our mains, I got the lobster carbonara and my wife got the scallop special with ramp gnocchi and pickled rhubarb. The scallop special was an absolutely delicious dish; the scallops were huge, tender, and flavorful; the ramp gnocchi had a great wild onion flavor and was perfectly al dente; the sauce was delicious and the pickled rhubarb added great contrast to the dish. The lobster carbonara was good, but it wasn’t what I was looking for; it is a great creamy seafood pasta dish if that is what you want, but it’s missing a lot of the traditional carbonara flavors that I had been expecting.
We capped off our dinner with the bread pudding with apple salted caramel sauce and vanilla gelato which was a great end to our meal; not too sweet, perfect amount of salt, great texture. Only complaint is that towards the end of our meal the restaurant got rather loud; we had been enjoying the quiet ambience to that point (we were seated in the more quiet dining room) but at around 7:30 or so there was a rush and it became hard to even think or hear myself.
TL;DR Great food and drinks, very friendly service, can get a little loud so maybe come at an off time

Ok, so first impressions were great! The raw food platter was amazing and fresh, service was ok, although they forgot our bread. Then came the entree. I choose the spaghetti clam, which was good but full of sand! Cooking clams myself I know how to take the sand out of the clams and I didn’t study cooking. My friend lobster was good, and my husband fish was very bland. My friend’s mother however took the scallops and also complained about the sand, later that night she has food poisoning because of it. I would only recommend this place for happy hour and a couple of oysters. Would not recommend for food otherwise.

A must visit if you love seafood, great drinks, dessert, friendly staff and a fun atmosphere. We sat at the bar and the drinks were out of this world, the oyster selection unparalleled, I had the best lobster roll in my life and the desserts (we shared a bunch) were all 11/10. If you haven’t been here yet you have to give it a try!

So far our best dining experience since we arrived in NY. The food was amazingly delicious. Oysters were so fresh and tasty. Clam pasta was fantastic. The sauce had so much umami from the clams. And the fish tacos were not the typical tacos u find in Mexican restaurants or dining. It has its special taste combined with its unique spicy red cabbage with a hint of the red onions on top and sprinkles with a splash of lime…mmm hmmm…Not just the seafood were fantastic, we ordered their pork belly for starter and it just hit the spot. So soft and tender. The combination with their chargrilled carrots, interesting mustard sauce with pear puree…it just so out of the world tasty.
Service was amazing, the guy who served us at the counter bar was so friendly n sweet
Definitely a place u wanna spend a great time with friends and family

This place was absolutely amazing! The server we had his name is Santo, he recommended to us the most delicious meal. We started our night with some drinks we had a Passion Night ( a vodka and passion fruit drink) to die for, and a glass of Malbec. Then we had some Octopus with Chorizo and fingerling potatoes and fried Calamaris. Both appetizers were delicious; then he recommended us the night special, Imperial Sole stuffed with King Crab meat, a Porterhouse Lamb Chop with Potatoes we accompanied this with a serving of Lobster Mac and Cheese. Everything was so delicious and tasty. I had to bring home an extra serving of the Imperial Sole. We were unable to try any desert because we were so stuffed. The servings are of a good size. We ended our dinner with a a Cappuccino ☕️ and a pot of Green Tea . Definitely will be back to this place, the food was amazing and the staff couldn’t possibly be better. It was a pleasure to have dined at Saltaire!
