The restaurant was very busy, but my friend and I could stay at the bar. The service was good, Korean BBQ appetizer was okay, calamari was crisp and tender.

Have summered on Shelter Island for 30 years, many friends and family on the island. Have eaten at SALT several times and go to Shipwreck regularly. Walked in with my family of 5, with 3 young daughters, for a meal, no reservation early on a Thursday night in late August (530pm). It was not busy. We were seated, while my four year old daughter was taken to the restroom. Out of respect, I waited in the bar area for three minutes so we could all be seated together. I told the junior hostess this, and she agreed.During these three minutes, our table was given away by the rude lead hostess, who felt that customers with reservations, who did not show up on time, should be given the table we were already seated at, where our menus were already placed, and where we were told to sit. She knew our child was in the bathroom and that I was waiting for them, and did not care. It was embarrassing to witness the callousness in restaurant staff. The hostess had previously pointed directly at another diner as she walked in, to be maneuvered to her own table. Clearly pointing at people and maneuvering them around seems to be part of the SALT etiquette class.Spoke to the manager, he said she made a mistake. He offered a worse table, which I did not accept out of principle: you do not move people who are already seated for dinner, and your customer is the most important part of a restaurant. I worked in service for 10+ years and I have never seen anything like this, especially at a place that bills itself as a high end restaurant.Food is two stars because it looked good. Location is great on the water.

Food was delicious in general although too many sandwich tyoe dishes. . However they could not provide coffee at the end of dinner at 9 pm. Dessert was also very limited.

09/01/2023. We have been back numerous times since this first review. Food is always delicious. Our servers also are always terrific. Today was an exception. Johan was our server. Brought out appetizers and our soups at the same time. REALLY??. 20 minutes later the main course. ( dinner). Through the entire meal, not once did he check on us to see how anything was. After clearing the table we thought maybe desert. He just brought the check. Watch out for him.Incredible lobster roll, delish fish tacos. 95 degrees 100% humidity. White wine and beer was ice cold. Had reservations and seated 10 minutes early. Waitress was a doll and extreamy attentive.

Mentioned it was my special birthday when making reservation. It never was acknowledged. Seated on time, but put next to a very loud group of 10 men, who should have been in the bar area, not the Restaurant. Food was inadequate and cold. Extremely pricey. Gave it 3* because waitress was nice. The view was blocked.
Made a reservation for my very special birthday & mentioned it to person taking it. Was seated on upper level of awning section. Next to a extremely group of 10 inebriated very loud men. I did not want the bar area,this was the restaurant part. The food was passable,not up to par with the extremely high prices for very small portions,cooked poorly. I gave it a 3* only because the waitress was very nice. My special birthdays will not be celebrated here. The view could not be appreciated, since it was blocked. Try another venue.

One of the best hamburgers I've ever had, everything is delicious. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time, but if not they have a great outdoor bar area to wait for table have a drink and just chill..if you are in GreenPort or Sag Harbor it's well worth the 10min ferry ride over..5pm they have live music outside. The safe is wonderful...put this place on your list
