Delicious and fresh food. The fried red snapper was outstanding, as was the rockfish (catch of the day). The fresh local oysters are a must. The service was impeccable-thank you, Taylor.

Waited for 30 minutes at the bar and no one came to attend to us. Very disappointed this is still happening today to African-Americans.

My partner and I had an unforgettable experience at Saltine with our server Josy. We just moved to the area and when Maddy brought our drinks she gave us a lot of great recommendations for the area. Thank you Maddy and Josy for a welcoming dinner!

Maddy & Josy made our experience at Saltine wonderful! Their ribeye and bronzed rockfish recommendations were spot on. Definitely coming back!

Waitress was either really aloof or really busy and overworked, not sure. The waitress for another table was moving and getting things for patrons but ours was just not on top of it and because of that, it took 3 hours almost to get service, food and eat. Food was decent, not the best I've had and the environment is very beautiful and romantic.

This was such a DISAPPOINTMENT!We waited to eat here because of all the great reviews but unfortunately everything was sooo SALTY!!!IF it hadn't been lateish like 9pm on a Sunday night, we would have sent back our barely edible clams and crabcake apps and canceled the rest of our order and made a run for it. However, we stuck it out and proved to have been a HORRIBLE decision.What a shame :(Luckily the atmosphere was real nice and our server was sweet so we ate as little as possible to not go to bed hungry and left in shock. [Maybe they should change the name to Saltiness?!]

My wife and I had dinner on a Sunday evening. The entire experience was excellent from the host greeting and seating us promptly to the waitress recommending two phenomenal entrees to my wife and I for dinner. My wife ordered the Catch of the Day(Salmon) Bronzed, which is a seasoning that is 3 parts cajun 1 part brown sugar. The Salmon was cooked perfectly and the bronzing was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Seared Diver scallops, the dinner entree had 8 good sized scallops that were seared with cajun seasoning giving them the perfect amount of spice to pair with the sweetness of the scallops. Overall Come here for a great dinner and delicious fine seafood!

***Only a 1 star because 0 isn't an option.***I know this is primarily a seafood restaurant, but if it's on the menu, then the food should be fixed properly.The waiter was awful. He screwed up multiple drink orders right from the start and that included water orders. A red wine was brought to someone at our table that ordered a white wine.The food...let's start with the bread and butter. The bread was awful, can't even describe the taste it was so bad. The butter is literally the worst butter I've ever had. It's a sweet butter, but not in the good way. The butter then is blended with mint, which is more of a toothpaste tasting mint. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised that this isn't actually butter, but plant based because it didn't have any butter properties.For an appetizer, a few of us got the Old Bay fries. The fries were not hot and seemed soggy. I'd compare them to day old fries as far as flavor. The Old Bay seasoning wasn't consistent by any means.Now dinner...Me and another person at the table ordered the bacon wrapped pork tenderloin. The tenderloin had ZERO flavor to include the absence of bacon flavor. I've fixed a better fried pork chop than the tenderloin I ordered. My girlfriend and another person ordered the chicken, which was extremely over salted. At no point did the waiter come to our table to ask how our food was after we were served.Then the bill comes with a 20% gratuity added because our group was over 8. The restaurant is lucky that we were there to celebrate 2 peoples birthday. If it was just me and my girlfriend, we wouldn't have ate our food, nor would I have paid for anything. A 20% automatic tip for bad food and a waiter that got water orders wrong is ridiculous. ??‍♂️??????Good news is that our dogs enjoyed the leftovers, so there's that.Won't be back.

Went here with my brother-in-law and wife for dinner.The food gradually got worse from appetizer to dessert. The server was very accommodating and the atmosphere was nice. My filet was definitely not a filet but more of a skirt steak, fries were subpar. Steak was overdone.I do not recommend the baked alaska. it just tasted like a mountain of alcohol and it was not pleasant. wont come back unless its just for the raw bar.
