Hotel restaurants aren't usually good, but all the positive reviews were reason to try Salt. Not a mistake; as all five of us were pleasantly surprised. Great food and a nice atmosphere; efficient service. Lollipop lamb chops were fantastic and the crab cakes were just like Maryland cakes!! Chief made the crab cakes sandwiches per directions (not deep fried but just like appetizers). Burgers were also very good. A very nice dining experience!!

Kevin was amazing! More vegetarian options would be great. Maybe add a plant based burger. I ended up having to get a gyro with only romaine and tomatoes 😢, but Kevin made the visit wonderful! We come there about 4 times a year and always look forward to eating at salt. The entire staff is top notch!

Excellent dining experience. Great staff and service. The bar and bar could use a bit of an upgrade. Felt like a hotel bar not like a bar inside of a restaurant that happened to be in a hotel. .

Lobster raviola was fabulous! Even the house salad was exceptional .

I didn't realize this restaurant is in the hotel, but it was very good and the booths are beautiful. We really enjoyed the drink drinks and food.

Worth noting that this is a hotel restaurant close to foot traffic from lobby to pool and other hotel amenities We sat at a table further into the restaurant space to be in a more quiet, private space. Many choices for seating since we dined at 4:30. The restaurant is beautiful as pictured with high ceilings and wood beams. Service was attentive.

Service and food were excellent Noise level is loud, difficult to have romantic date night due to restaurant being in open area of hotel. I wish they could close it off, it would be Five Star then

We enjoyed spending our afternoons at Sal de Mar Bar and Grill. The atmosphere is just great, right by the swimming pools and with a great view of the Gulf. They have a full cocktail bar with a very friendly staff. There is lots of seating, most of it in the shade. The food is good, but nothing outstanding.

The food and service were great. Crab cakes , crab claws, calamari and pork chops were perfect.
Great restaurant, Amanda was a wonderful server. She had delicious recommendations. The calamari was too salty but cooked good and the sauce with it was so tasty. Loved the chicken schwarma and lobster ravioli. Decor was beautiful and enjoyed the overall experience. We will be back.
Opentable Diner
I made reservations thinking this was a nice restaurant. It is not! The website was completely misleading. Food tasted like it was reheated, and the drinks tasted like cough syrup. Will never go back!

I've been wanting to try Salt for quite some time. We finally went and I was very disappointed. The place was empty when we got there, Service was extremely slow, our drinks continually went dry and we had to wait forever to get a refill or new drink. Food was ok, nothing to rave about. The charcuterie board was delicious and was huge. Unfortunately, it was served with crackers instead of bread. We ordered bread, which took 30 minutes to arrive, and we were done with the charcuterie board prior to its arrival. Crab claws were ok, only received one slice of toast for the appetizer... and there was way too much onion in the dish. My husband said his asparagus was delicious, steak was only ok. I had the winter salad, wish I would have ordered something else. It sounded amazing, but was lacking flavor... blue cheese instead of feta would greatly help the flavor profile, could use some spiced pecans or spiced walnuts instead of the plain walnuts. Drinks were good. Overall an ok experience, not somewhere I plan to visit again.

The waitress was really nice and knowledgeable about the food. It was cooked rather fast but it was great tasting food. Very quiet, until the bar guys came in at 10:15. But still a great place for a date night.

Chef Conan is amazing! I have never tasted such exquisite crab claws! The tuna was divine! Great service from Avery and delicious dark chocolate cake for my birthday dessert! If you want an outstanding dinner at Pensacola Beach, Salt is THE place to dine!
