We had dinner at Summer Salt to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary and we couldn’t have been happier. The entire experience was wonderful. The food was incredible and our waiter, Aidan, was awesome, very personable, knowledgeable about the food and very attentive! He even brought us a taste of the entree we didn’t select for free. We liked the small plates for sharing - it gives you the opportunity to sample a lot of great flavors. I couldn’t believe that our menus were even custom printed with our names and happy anniversary - a special keepsake. Looking forward to going back. I think we might make Summer Salt our anniversary tradition. Thank you!

Amazing dining experience. We had been wanting to go for over a year and it did not disappoint. All of the food was delicious and prepared to perfection, from the first course to dessert. Highlights were the fried tomatoes, watermelon salad, homemade pasta and whoopie pie. Service was excellent. Great atmosphere with picturesque views of the dunes and ocean.

Food was outstanding. Fresh and sourced locally. A little disappointed in the cost of an iced tea especially since they charge for a refill. !6 per glass. Dinner is $95 3 different appetizers and you get all 3. 3 different first courses and you get all 3. Choice of one of 3 dinner options. Pork Chop was very good. You also get a choice of one of three desserts menus changes 3 times per summer based on what’s fresh at the market.

Sorry, but I just don't get the hype of Summer Salt. Family style apps were pretty uninspiring, even the Crab Crostini as the crostini was mushy. Pork chop was small and pretty boring. The deserts were fine. $240 for two w/tip was way overpriced.

Wonderful time for an anniversary dinner. They treat you well for special events. The outside deck was lovely, but I think next time we will want to go in the covered section of the deck. Great service and excellent food.
I found the restaurant very unaccommodating! They sat Us right next to the service area, refused to move Us! The food was terrible ! Had to send back over cooked , charred Pork Chop & sweet potato ! If You are thinking of dining there, I would choose a different eatery !

Great service, accommodated my lactose free diet. The appetizers and entrees were delicious; my pork chop a tender divine melange of tastes. Very disappointing desserts. A “ pop tart “ lemon dry weird offering and a whoopie pie not as good as a Tastee yodel. Otherwise, a lovely evening

Summer Salt is hands down the best restaurant on the island. The chef does an incredible job curating a seasonal, revolving menu that highlights the best local ingredients, making every dish feel fresh and inspired. It's true farm-to-table dining done right—creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service is friendly and attentive, and the vibe is relaxed yet elevated. If you're looking for a special meal in Avalon, this is the place to go.
