I was here for a bridal shower luncheon on a saturday and loved it! The place is cozy but we were only 10 or 12 ladies at 2 big tables that they separated from the main dining area with privacy panels. Our waitress was very attentive with drinks and appetizers. I had the best bruschetta I ever tasted! The ingredients were so fresh! I also liked the filo dough triangles (so flaky) and the chicken on a stick (so tender). The main dishes were set up buffet style and we enjoyed a wonderful chicken marsala and a delicious shrimp scampi! Even the cake, chocolate with raspberry filling, was decadent!Yes, there isn't much of a view out the windows but it was a nice sunny day and the natural light drew our attention to the attractive decor inside. I can't wait to go back here with my family so they can taste the wonderful menu!I would definitely recommend this place for a small, private gathering but I am sure it would be enjoyable for a party of two or four as well.

Six of us had brunch on a Sunday afternoon outside on the deck. Very good selection of food from eggs to steak. All food was fresh and the portion size was very good. There was live music by a talented guitar player, but it was a bit too loud for easy conversation. Service was very good, but one diner had to wait for her dish after everyone else had been served. Dishes we enjoyed were the Whaler's Eggs Benedict with crab cakes, hamburger, bacon egg and cheese tacos, coconut french toast and avocado toast. The drinks were also well madeThank you for the great review! We're glad you had a great experience with us and we sure hope to have you back again in the future!

The Chowder Bar is a small place that has been around for a long time and is a favorite of the locals.I really enjoyed my Manhattan Clam Chowder and the Mussels in butter and garlic sauce. My wife had a salad that was absolutely amazing.If we still lived in the area, this would be a regular stop for us!

Let me start by saying plenty of parking that you read your parking spot and pay at the meters. Simple to do with cash or credit and just a 4$ maximum cash outlay. You can (dependent upon weather) have inside or outside seating. Nothing better than sitting by the water with raw clams and a few beers. Saw a few boats tie up to the dock and come in for food and drink. Clams are fresh and delicious. Range from little necks to middle necks though struck to top necks. Freshly opened and briny taste with horseradish and cocktail sauce. I had the tuna BLT with sweet potato fries. Tuna was raw as I had asked for it. Placed on a nice roll with crisp bacon. Fries come with some sort of maple syrup dip and was fantastic. Son had a burger and was cooked the way he asked for it. Service was good but could have come by to get drinks as we had to wait for more beers and ask a few times for mayo or another beerBusing the table was fast and efficient and always kept table clean for next round when it came. Prices not outrageous and highly recommended for an afternoon of relaxing and food

We tried swept away tonight. We missed happy hour by 20 minutes but ordered two wines to enjoy with dinner. My husband and I were surprised by the gourmet menu choices. It was hard to choose. We started with the butternut squash rice balls with chipotle sauce. There was 4 balls that we split. They were a good mix of sweet and spicy. The entrees were very large portions. I could only eat half. I had the grilled branzino with gumbo sauce and jasmine rice. Delicious!! My husband had the pistachio salmon that was incredible. I stood a few bites!

We visited first time on a beautiful summer Sunday afternoon. Parking can be a bit tricky but we found a spot. We waited at the bar a little over 20 minutes for an outdoor table for two. They were finishing up a bridal shower which overlooked the water...lucky bride! Our server, Jordan, was great. He was very helpful with suggestions about wine and menu choices. We enjoyed three selections from the tapas menu. Shrimp with garlic and lemon, Mediterranean plate and charcuterie plate. All were very fresh and tasty. They also serve olives and bread which are complimentary. We very much enjoyed our visit and are looking forward to returning soon!

We came tonight for my wife's birthday dinner. In April, we had dinner here and we were very impressed with the food and service. Tonight was another excellent experience. We started with fried Calamari and tarragon biscuits. Then, we both ordered the Salt & Barrel Burger. Calamari was just perfection, along with the biscuits. The burgers were probably one of the best we ever had. We skipped dessert, as we were very full. Our server was amazing and gave us incredible service. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Another excellent dinner at Salt & Barrel in the books!

Very pretty view from most tables. I had fried scallops that were melt in your mouth tender and delicious. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal also. Service was friendly and good, but we were not in a rush. Just 4 women chatting and enjoying each others company for lunch. They were very accommodating by splitting a sandwich and also a dessert on 2 plates to share.

Attended a Retirement party for a group of approximately 40 guests in the bar area. Excellent service from wait staff. Food was delicious: hot rolls, wonderful pasta with pesto, tender sliced beef, two loaded salads, perfect salmon and chicken. Desserts of warm chocolate lava cakes as well as delicious cheesecakes. Buffet Lunch was high quality and reminiscent of an excellent sit down dinner. Could not notice that there was also a birthday party being held in an adjacent room. Felt as though we had the restaurant to ourselves. Parking was valet only and unfortunately the valet left an accessory on in my vehicle and drained the battery. No big deal but worth a mention. Special Thanks to the guest that provided a jump start. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.
