Marisquería
We had a fantastic experience at Salt for our anniversary dinner. Our server Chelsea was attentive, thorough and aimed to please. I ordered the Honey Chili Salmon on the featured menu and my husband had the Seafood Pappardelle. We went all out and ordered ourselves starters, Slow Roasted Jersey Tomato & Burrata for me and the Lobster Bisque for him and desserts, Tiramisu and a Limoncello Mascarpone Cake. I honestly liked the tiramisu more, but whatever, both hit the spot.My salmon was beautifully presented, see pic below. I also love the little lamps that light up the table, hence the killer lighting giving the salmon that sweet luster. OOoooyeah.We'll be back! :)

(Traducido por Google) Una de las mejores hamburguesas que he probado, si no la mejor, sobre todo viniendo de un lugar conocido como marisquería. La hamburguesa no era la más grande ni tenía nada de especial, pero el sabor estaba fuera de este mundo. Cada bocado sabía desde el primer bocado jugoso hasta el último. Las ostras también eran increíbles junto con el plato de mariscos que nos dieron. El lugar y el ambiente se sienten muy exclusivos y modernos con clase, especialmente el baño es súper limpio y moderno. Definitivamente pagas más por ello, pero es un restaurante de mariscos y la comida está elaborada con ingredientes de alta calidad. El estacionamiento es escaso pero puede estar cerca pero hay que pagar para estacionar donde sea.(Original)One of the best burgers I have ever had, if not the best, especially coming from a place known as a seafood place. The burger was not the biggest nor was there anything special about it, but the flavor was out of this world. Every bite of it, tasted like the first juicy bite to the last. The oysters were amazing too along with the seafood platter we got. Place and ambiance feels very upscale and classy modern, especially the bathroom is super clean and modern. You definitely pay a premium for it but it is a seafood restaurant and the food is made with high quality ingredients. Parking is scarce but can be close but you have to pay to park wherever.

Probably our favorite restaurant in New Brunswick. Consistently delicious food no matter what you order. Always great specials as well as regular menu and always fabulous selection of oysters!! Definitely need to make a reservation as they get VERY busy.

I enjoyed my first experience at this restaurant. From the hostess, down to the waiter, the service was excellent. The food was excellent and fresh but my crab cake appetizer was a 10. It’s a definite place to visit and I will be coming back.

(Traducido por Google) No he cenado aquí, así que no puedo hablar de su comida. Pero sus cócteles son decentes y sus ostras deliciosas. Definitivamente lo recomendaría para su hora feliz.El ambiente está bien. Es una estética básica de una granja estadounidense moderna de la que no soy partidario. Las bebidas están bien, es impredecible. Una vez pedí un martini espresso y estaba muy aguado. Sin embargo, sus cócteles exclusivos son decentes y los recomendaría durante su hora feliz.(Original)I haven’t dined here so I cannot speak for their food. But their cocktails are decent and their oysters are delicious. Definitely would recommend for their happy hour.The ambience is okay. It’s a basic modern American farm-house aesthetic which I’m not a fan of. The drinks are okay - it’s a hit or miss. Ordered an espresso martini once and it was very watery. Their signature cocktails are decent though and I’d recommend them during their happy hour.

This restaurant made a memorable night at my first visit to New Brunswick.1. Foods: The charred octopus was amazing. It did not taste burnt; it was flavorfully charred, which was further enhanced by the sauce. My 6yo daughter found the decorative flower petal on top of the dish quite entertaining :p We talked about this for minutes lolI ordered a spaghetti marinara for my 2 kids to share as they had a light meal right before the dinner. My 2yo son devoured it with his hands and entire face. My 6o daughter quickly finished it despite being a picky eater.2. Service: all the staffs whom I interacted with were very kind and nice. I liked that they gave my kids water in a plastic cup with a straw and my little one a high chair. They even gave my kids a paper and a set of crayons for each, which kept them entertained while waiting for foods. Not every restaurant offers such kid friendly service so I was quite grateful.3. Atmosphere: I loved the vibe. I’d love to come back with my husband for a date night. It felt sexy and beachy. I don’t think there was other kid in the restaurant but mine.I also liked the interior of the bathroom, which was beachy and clean. It smelled nice too. I really liked the salt scrub, hand cream and etc. which was pretty luxurious.4. Location: it’s conveniently located, right across from the hotel Hyatt Regency. Parking can be a problem if not a hotel guest. However, this restaurant is located in a very cute district with many other fancy bars and restaurants.

(Traducido por Google) Honestamente, creo que este lugar está sobrevalorado. Definitivamente es bueno, pero la comida estaba ligeramente por encima del promedio y el servicio fue... memorable.Esta fue mi primera vez en Salt, y aunque quedé bastante impresionado con el ambiente, la comida simplemente no me convenció. A primera vista, el menú parecía excelente: muchas opciones de mariscos, aunque un poco caros. Para empezar, decidí compartir unas ostras con un amigo. Las ostras estaban bastante buenas, no hay quejas. También compré una sopa de langosta (uno de los platos más populares), que, sinceramente, no estuvo tan buena. Apenas había trozos de langosta en la sopa.Hubiera sido bueno si agregaran más carne. Luego compartimos los pasteles de cangrejo (otro plato popular). Podría haber sido más crujiente. El exterior de los pasteles no tenía un acabado suave y crujiente. El interior se sentía un poco blando como mayonesa. También tenemos una guarnición de coles de Bruselas, que tampoco están crujientes. Terminamos con la tarta de queso crème brûlée.Una vez más, no es genial: el pastel estaba muy pesado. Sí, sé que los pasteles de queso son pesados, pero este era como todo queso, sin pastel.Hay muchos otros platos de pescado, que estoy seguro son buenos. Tal vez vuelva, pero es poco probable.Para finalizar, también queremos darle un saludo especial a nuestro camarero.Era muy...interesante. Hizo que toda la experiencia gastronómica quedara registrada en los libros. No quiero entrar en muchos detalles, pero cada vez que se acercaba a la mesa, no sabías lo que te esperabas. Tendría una personalidad diferente cada vez. Comenzó bien, se molestó en un momento, luego se volvió salvaje, luego amable otra vez, y luego simplemente se alejó. Basta decir que fue una montaña rusa emocional.(Original)Honestly, I think this place is way overhyped. It's definitely good, but the food was just slightly above average, and the service was... memorable.This was my first time at Salt, and although I was quite impressed with the vibe, the food just didn't hit home for me. At first glance, the menu looked great - lots of seafood options, albeit a little pricey. For starters, I decided to share some oysters with a friend. The oysters were pretty good, no complaints there. I also got a lobster bisque (one of the most popular items), which honestly wasn't that great. There were barely any lobster chunks in the soup.Would have been nice if they added more meat. Then we shared the crab cakes (another popular item). It could have been crispier. The outside of the cakes didn't have the smooth crunchy finish. The inside felt kinda mushy like mayo. We also got a side of brussel sprouts - no crisp on them either. We ended with the crème brûlée cheesecake.Again, not great - the cake was ve r y heavy. Yes, I know cheesecakes are heavy, but this one was like all cheese, no cake.There's a ton of other fish dishes, which I'm sure are good.. maybe I'll come back, but unlikely.To end, also want to give a special shoutout to our waiter.He was very...interesting. He made the whole dining experience one for the books. Not to go into full detail, but every time he came around to the table, you didn't know what you were gonna expect. He would have a different personality each time. Started off nice, got annoyed at one point, then got wild, then nice again, then just drifted away. Suffice to say, it was an emotional roller coaster.

Wonderful dinner with family. Server was outstanding with some suggestions that turned out to be perfect. While certainly not inexpensive the entire dinner experience was great. Not one complaint from a family known to be hard to satisfy. We will return and bring friends. Although the place was busy no one rushed us out... just a super nice thing

This is a favorite for people who work nearby and for good reason. The food, atmosphere, and service are all top notch. It's certainly a cut above other seafood restaurants in the area and whether you want oysters or any type of seafood, this place is sure to please your taste buds. Even with a large group, the food came out pretty quickly and service was very personalized, with the staff giving great recommendations. Try the tuna and octopus appetizer and if you're lucky you'll find the blackened tuna special which was just spectacular.The wine and cocktail choices are also ample and ready well prepared.

Please never get rid of your angry tomato pesto sauce it’s my and my bfs favorite every time we come here. So unique and beyond tasty. I like that it changes in dishes like shrimp to crab bc I love crab. Also best oyster selection ever, this is truly my favorite restaurant for holidays and in general. The atmosphere is lovely and romantic.

Fue mi primera vez allí.Vaya, la comida es tan fresca y deliciosa, mi camarero y su ayudante estaban muy bien informados sobre toda la comida, las selecciones y las bebidas.Si pudiera darles 100 en la escala, sería 100+.Definitivamente regresaré y recomendaré su restaurante a todas las personas con las que entre en contacto. Trabajo bien hecho por todos lados.(Original)My Wife & I decided to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary there last night.

I was alone and sat at the bar for a drink and light dinner. I was completely ignored by the bartender when I arrived and it was 6 minutes (which seemed like a half hour!) before she even acknowledged me or asked if I wanted a drink. Then, after I did eventually get a glass of wine, I had to ask her if I could order some food. All the time she never gave eye contact and I was not sure if she was even listening to me. This rude behavior continued the entire hour I was there. When business slowed and there were only six of us at the bar and she was less busy, she talked with other employees about popular music and the like rather than attending to or chatting with bar patrons. For the first time in my life I left a tip just below 15% when normally I am an over-tipper (25+ %). So, I left and went across the street and had a great time drinking (and tipping) with Irene and Derrick until they closed. I have a new place: Victorias!! Yaay. Oh, by the way, the food was excellent at Salt. Now, if the service could come even close to that standard.

5/5 As a Rutgers alum, it always brings me great joy when I have the opportunity to return to the banks. The Salt servers and bartenders did a fantastic job taking care of the dinner service for my company. Drinks were great quality and the chicken entree was flavorful. The downstairs bar area has a nice vibe for social events.
