Salt Waterfront Grill - SHELTER ISLAND

The restaurant was quite busy, but my friend and I were able to grab seats at the bar. The service was excellent, the Korean BBQ appetizer was decent, and the calamari was crispy and tender. Overall, the dining experience was good. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

The food at this restaurant was overall delicious, although there were too many sandwich options on the menu. Unfortunately, they were unable to serve coffee at the end of our dinner at 9 pm, and the dessert selection was also quite limited. The service was excellent, with a rating of 5 out of 5. The atmosphere was decent, with a rating of 3 out of 5. The recommended dishes include the Lobster Roll, Lobster Cobb Salad (gluten-free), and Fish Tacos. The price per person for dinner was between $50 and $100.

Have summered on Shelter Island for 30 years, many friends and family on the island. Have eaten at SALT several times and go to Shipwreck regularly. Walked in with my family of 5, with 3 young daughters, for a meal, no reservation early on a Thursday night in late August (530pm). It was not busy. We were seated, while my four year old daughter was taken to the restroom. Out of respect, I waited in the bar area for three minutes so we could all be seated together. I told the junior hostess this, and she agreed. During these three minutes, our table was given away by the rude lead hostess, who felt that customers with reservations, who did not show up on time, should be given the table we were already seated at, where our menus were already placed, and where we were told to sit. She knew our child was in the bathroom and that I was waiting for them, and did not care. It was embarrassing to witness the callousness in restaurant staff. The hostess had previously pointed directly at another diner as she walked in, to be maneuvered to her own table. Clearly pointing at people and maneuvering them around seems to be part of the SALT etiquette class. Spoke to the manager, he said she made a mistake. He offered a worse table, which I did not accept out of principle: you do not move people who are already seated for dinner, and your customer is the most important part of a restaurant. I worked in service for 10+ years and I have never seen anything like this, especially at a place that bills itself as a high end restaurant. Food is two stars because it looked good. Location is great on the water.

Great location very good food and drinks Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
