Incredible food! Incredible staff! Incredible experience! The location itself is gorgeous and on the water with outdoor seating! My boyfriend and I went here for a date night on vacation in Salem and Boston and this was by far the best restaurant experience we had on the trip and we are foodies. The lobster roll here was the best I’ve had, the raw bar options are amazing and really well priced in my opinion. If you’re looking for seafood please please try this place. If I’m ever back in the area I will be here again. I had such a wonderful time here and the whole experience was just 10/10. It will be one of my top meals of that year.

Eat here! Every single item we ordered was perfect. From the lobster roll to the pimento hamburger to the pizza-we demolished our meals in seconds!!! They were so good. Definitely make a reservation, but this place was true New England. The service was amazing, the food came out quickly and cooked to perfection and I’d return in a second. I highly recommend this establishment.

Terrific place for a solid meal down on the Wharf in Salem! Sea Level Oyster Bar is the sister restaurant of Finz next door (one of my favorite spots in town), and they have a lot of great eats to choose from! We had the Fried Pickles – a HUGE portion that is perfect for the pickle lover in your family. The O-Strings were delish – Onion rings cut thin, battered, fried, and paired perfectly with their special sauce. The Garlic Bread Pizza was tasty and a perfect side dish – flavorful thin crust pizza with a delightful roasted buttery herb flavor, chili flakes and Parmesan. Recommended. Street Corn Shrimp Tacos were nuts of yummy goodness – big Cajun style Shrimp combined with creamy street corn and a cilantro lime salsa to die for… well done. The Island Salmon was uber tasty – a jerk rubbed,large piece of Atlantic Salmon paired with coconut jasmine rice, corn ribs and a mango salsa. Great dining experience – server was great, and the staff was pleasant. Highly recommended.

Absolute perfection from start to finish! The stuffed oysters were out of this world — rich, buttery, and bursting with flavor. The lobster roll? Fresh, sweet, and piled high with tender chunks of lobster, exactly how it should be. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, juicy and full of flavor, and every bite just hit right.

Even the mocktails were amazing — creative, refreshing, and honestly just as satisfying as any cocktail. The whole experience felt relaxed yet polished and a great waterfront vibe.

If you’re in Salem and want seafood done right, Sea Level Oyster Bar is it. Every dish was a hit!

This place was absolutely phenomenal! First of all, the view is spectacular. We came on a beautiful day in fall and the temperature was amazing outside. I had my first ever clam chowder and lobster roll here and they were both so amazing. I got the warm lobster roll and it was so filling. I am from Louisiana so I am no stranger to oysters but the east coast oysters here were so delicious and different from southern oysters. I ordered half a dozen and ended up ordering a half dozen more. I could have honestly ordered more if I wasn’t so full. The service here was also amazing. Our waitress was kind and attentive and offered us the best recommendations as it was our first day and restaurant we ate at in Salem. If you are in the Salem area, this place is an absolute must!!

If you’re even THINKING of going to Salem, you absolutely must eat here. It was superb. 5 out of 5 stars. Son got swordfish, my daughter and I split a Caesar salad and lobster mac (the portion of lobster was generous) and my husband got white fish with scallops. When I tell you it was incredible, I’m not mincing words… It was mind blowing. Oh, also it was really sweet the boat was gal let me charge my phone at her desk (I was at like 15%) and we had to catch the train which my phone had the tickets so it was helpful since I wouldnt have been able to access the tickets with a dead phone. Loved loved loved this restaurant.

The food was good, but the oysters OMG so fresh. The tacos were great and the birria pizza was good. The vibe of the place was good, and the service was excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone that loves oysters.

I love this place. Fresh oysters, best mussels in town and great drinks. Parking can be a bit hard to find. When you go try and get seated upstairs where it has this awesome open air concept. bathrooms were very clean and service was good for Salem.

While visiting Salem, we stopped by Sea Level Oyster Bar for dinner and ended up really enjoying the evening. The location is great — right near the water with a laid-back atmosphere and plenty of seating both inside and out. If you’re lucky enough to grab a spot outside, the view alone is worth it.

We started off with the Sangria Fishbowls, which are big, fun, and perfect for a vacation mood. They were a little on the watery side at first, but after two of them, they definitely got the job done — refreshing, fruity, and great for sharing or sipping slowly (my girlfriend did neither and kept them all for herself).

For dinner, my girlfriend ordered the fish tacos, which were fresh, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. They came with a great slaw and sauce combo that tied everything together. I had the baked cod, which was cooked just right — flaky, not overdone, and served with simple but tasty sides. I also tried one of their bright blue tropical cocktails — sweet, a bit strong, and perfect with seafood. I wish I remembered the name, but it added to the fun of the meal.

The highlight of the night, though, might have been dessert. We ordered the fried Oreos, and wow — they were incredible. Warm, gooey, and served with just the right amount of gooey chocolate sauce and powdered sugar, they were the perfect end to the meal and something I’d go back for alone.

Service was friendly and relaxed, and even though the drinks could’ve been a bit stronger, the food, dessert, and overall experience more than made up for it. Definitely a great place to unwind after a day in Salem. We’ll be back!
