I had the pan seared scallops with lobster risotto and it was delicious! Would definitely go again.

Nothing at all negative, everything was absolutely amazing! Sunday Brunch is an absolute treat here! The food stations are thoughtful and varied. You could enjoy something here every day and never get bored! The service is, of course, impeccable, the dining areas immaculate and tasteful, and the food is the phenomenal focal point! A special shout out to Chris's Bird, the hotel manager, who is truly dedicated to the enjoyment of every guest!

The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I had the pan seared sea scallops on lobster risotto. The risotto had big hunks of lobster - delicious! Would definitely go back again.

Consistent food and service. Have been there many times always ordered the tuna triangles and calamari. I had the artic char for the main course which comes in a curry source. I asked if they could do it without the source, they gave me several options. I had the fish on mash potatoes, very accommodating. All the desserts are good so if you have room go for it. Prices are slightly above their competitors, but worth it. NP

The service was top notch! Menu selections were varied. Had the scallops recommended by our server and were some of the best I've ever had. Lovely wine list. Table request was furnished with pleasure. We cannot wait to come back.

I have always loved this restaurant. Great views, wonderful, warm decor, excellent service and very very good New England Cuisine. Our most recent dinner had excellent salad, and our earlier stop at the bar offered great clams on the half shell and fabulous new england clam chowder. However, the rib eye steak we ordered for dinner was rather fatty. Perhaps it is a characteristic of this cut, but it had a lot of fat throughout which surprised me as it reduced substantially the amount of actual meat. Other than that the meal was excellent including the pears for dessert, but since the rib eye was the main course and rather costly, this was the reason for the four stars.

Our meals were fantastic, the view beautiful and the ambience very nice. Our waiter was great, one in our party had a specific dietary need, so the waiter made a few trips back to the chef to inquire. Found a dish that worked for him.

The best lobster roll and hand-cut fries in CT. The toasted brioche is jam packed with tender lightly buttered lobster. My wife is vegan. We both started with small field green salads and added-on 1/2 an avocado which we shared. Her entree was sautéed spinach and fries. Fresh Salt is our go to restaurant on the shoreline.

Fresh Salt once again delivers with a lovely menu and atmosphere for a Valentine's Date! The halibut with corn salsa and crab, and seafood pappardelle were delicious, and the strawberry brownie bombe was a delight. We appreciate that FS keeps a few mocktails on the menu, although I'm personally a fan of the blueberry negroni. I'd come back just for the "Fresh Salt" Rhode Island/New England combo chowder, and the cozy, intimate setting makes every table the best one in the house, looking over the water. Our gratitude to Joe for taking care of us last night!

We had made dinner reservations two weeks prior to our stay. I had requested a nice cozy table by a window, thinking we would be seated in the main dining room. Unfortunately we were seated in the Porch and it was the only window available OR in the bar area. Needless to say, we were disappointed. However, dinner was good and our server was great. We will be back when we visit again.
The service was great. So was ambiance but wow. The food was not good. Overly salty and just not tasty at all. The dessert had a hair in it as well and that point I didn't even complain I just wanted to go. Wouldn't go back. It's a shame I remember it being way better.

Excellent brunch as always. Enjoyed seeing friends we have made with your staff. Saybrook Point and Fresh Salt continue to be one of our favorite places to stay and dine. Outstanding!

Had a delightful time last weekend for my husband’s birthday. There were 9 of us & each raved about the food, service & especially the custom birthday cake they made. A wonderful restaurant!

Attractive hotel/ inn. Hostess not very accommodating even tho we had a reservation. Wait staff very pleasant . I was worst "special of day" meatloaf sandwich that I've ever had. Others had " just ok food". Very overpriced , very limited menu- menu for lunch and dinner are the same. Lovely location to sit outside in nice weather. I think it is a tourist trap, I live locally, not worth trip .
