I had dinner at Sea Salt with three friends to celebrate a birthday, and asked for a quiet table. They provided a quiet location but unfortunately there was a group of 4 nearby that became loud and boisterous. Food was very good, especially the zucchini and eggplant chips. Grilled branzino was fine but not very interesting - no sides with it. Halibut was excellent - asked for the lentil salad with it which was also excellent. One person had salmon which she didn't much like. Dessert was lava cake with ice cream - delicious. Service was very good. We would go back and try some of the meat dishes.

It is generally a good place with yummy food. We went for brunch and it is expensive and not great food. Eggs Benedict and it comes with salmon. It says bacon available on request. No bacon. Drink Bloody Mary. Nope they didn’t have that. Potatoes were ice cold. They brought more a little warmer. Not much. All in all not a great brunch. Service was great.

Good food, but felt a bit rushed by the servers to vacant our table for the next set of diners waiting in the wings. It just made the meal a bit pressured- more than once they took away a drink that wasn’t finished. We left feeling annoyed.

First time at Sea Salt. We ordered the octopus appetizer and veggie moussaka to share, and then each ordered the grilled branzino. Everything was very fresh and delicious, and the service from our waiter was excellent. Ambience was cozy and warm. Noise level was moderate during peak dinner time; I’m soft spoken so had to speak up. The only minus would be that I ordered a mocktail but was given an alcoholic drink. When I brought it up after trying it, the server insisted it was a mocktail (he wasn’t our initial server) and did not offer to replace it or even to check at the bar. I could feel the buzz and my friend tried my drink and said there was alcohol in it. One star off as I could not take my meds. If I went back, I would not order any drinks.
