My favorite sit down restaurant in Marblehead hands down! The service, food and atmosphere are top notch. David, the owner, is a stand up guy and makes me feel like family any time I go. The quality of the food is incredible and the prices are very fair. Everything is amazing, but the Korean tenders are a must order. Sea Salt is a Marblehead staple!

We had dinner at Sea Salt twice during our recent stay in Marblehead, and it was fantastic. The food, service, and restaurant were all wonderful—and the staff were very welcoming, attentive, and kind! The cocktails and wine are 🤌 while the food was delicious and perfectly portioned. Would highly recommend having dinner at Sea Salt when you’re in Marblehead!

SEA SALT I NEED YOU SEA SALT

I had dinner at Sea Salt while in town last week. The restaurant is super casual and welcoming, though a bit dark given it is in the basement of the building. The menu was very approachable, and my starter cocktail (maple Manhattan) was perfect. I was advised to try the butternut squash and beet salad, which I found to be very sub par. The tiny pieces of butternut squash were flavorless and most were undercooked. The salad lacked a crunch factor, and it could have used some goat cheese. I then tried the crab spaghetti as I had heard it was quite tasty. It was tasty, but it was a very small portion and could have used some Calabrian chili or something with a kick to add dimension. Overall it was a good meal but had room for improvement. I’d go back perhaps during the season to try again.

This place is just excellent in every way! The food, the service and super reasonable prices.
We found it a few months ago, and each time can’t pull ourselves away from exactly the same order - I’m sure plenty of other dishes are great, but once you’ve had a taste of things you like, it’s hard to not have them again.
It’s newish and sort of hidden so we’re very glad to see it busy.

I can’t say enough about the excellent service and over-the-top hospitality at Sea Salt. We showed up unannounced with a 7 lb Chihuahua in hand after taking a a stroll through historic Marblehead on a gorgeous Friday night - and asked if we could eat on the outdoor patio. David, the manager, was super welcoming, accommodating — and active (not always the case with GM’s). He took the initiative to light an outdoor heater to keep us comfortable. At one point he ran across the street to shop at Crosby’s when they were low on an ingredient - he is a rollup your sleeves sort of leader, which may help explain why all the rest of the staff are equally engaging and wonderful. Marc was our server and was extremely charming, knowledgeable and helpful about the menu and specials that night. You can tell when people truly enjoy what they do and where they work - Marc was that guy. He is going places, as they say. We had Maple Manhattan cocktails to start (divine), Korean chicken tenders, Ahi tuna poke, and Aleppo Honey Roasted Salmon entree - and shared it all. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and tasty. The Korean chicken tenders had authentic gochujang, were just slightly dry, but still solid and plentiful for an app. The ahi dish was the star of the night - lots of chunky fresh tuna, a large crispy wonton “bed”, wonderful complementary salsa adds, and the spicy mayo was a big hit with me (wife thought it could have used a smidge less mayo and smidge more spice - but hey…); the salmon was perfectly cooked and all the flavors on the plate blended nicely together. The honey advertised on this salmon did not really come through to add some sweet, but otherwise was a well executed dish. All in all - the meal was a B+ but the professional service from every employee we saw makes this an A restaurant any day of the week. Sea Salt is a “must try” for any visitor or local Marbleheader. A big thanks to David, Marc, and the chef team at Sea Salt for making this a wonderful impromptu meal on a picture-perfect New England Fall evening. We will be back!
Wow! We stopped in based on the reviews here and boy did they not disappoint! Starting with the host and server, the folks here are wonderful and kind. I believe we had Emily as our server this evening and she was a true gem!
We shared the Brussels sprouts and I don’t think I’ve ever had this kind of flavor with them and we LOVED it! We each had a glass of the Malbec and that was equally delicious!
My husband had the shrimp and crab spaghetti and what a meal he said that was! He was practically licking the plate!
I had the rigatoni bolognese and my goodness, the flavor was amazing!
Based on what I’ve experienced her and what I’ve seen others experiencing, this is a must stop restaurant if you’re in Marblehead!
