SeaSalt emerges in reviews as a lively Old Port seafood spot with a focus on fresh, tasty dishes like oysters, paella, seafood towers, lobster rolls, ceviche and shrimp tacos, plus solid drinks and a pleasant terrace. The atmosphere and views by the water are highlighted, along with a vibrant, welcoming vibe that many describe as perfect for a summer visit. Service is repeatedly praised for attentiveness and friendliness, with staff able to handle large groups and dietary needs, though a few visits note slower pacing and occasional inconsistency in timing. A few criticisms appear, including reports of pricey options, portions that feel small for the price, and a negative mention of pests on the patio, but overall the food quality and atmosphere remain strong favorites. Most reviewers say they would return to explore more items on the menu and enjoy the terrace again.
We really enjoyed yesterday's visit to this restaurant. We stopped off for a drink & a snack. The patio was a perfect place to relax, the waitstaff were warm & friendly. They had a fabulous buck-a-shuck oyster deal, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Un service impeccable du début à la fin ! L'accueil par Yasmina a été particulièrement chaleureux & professionnel. L'équipe s'est montrée très attentive, efficace & soucieuse du moindre détail, ce qui a rendu l'expérience vraiment agréable !
Ottimo locale per fare pausa con un pranzo completo o con uno spuntino, bella location, specie all'interno, personale gentile e veloce. Menu assortito con pesce/carne di qualità. Buona la carta delle bevande, prezzo nella norma.

We were seated very quickly inside as requested (we did have reservations) but unfortunately it took 20 minutes for our waitress to see us initially to at least offer us water. We took that opportunity to order drinks which took another 20+ minutes to get. We ordered our appetizers which came at a decent time if you compare to what we were experiencing already & same with our main. Unfortunately we were never checked on in between. It felt like we were forgotten but i will say the food was fantastic.
Truly a great experience. I had such good chats with my girlfriend, the atmosphere was so giving. Lovely view of the canal, & the people watching was top tier. Amanda was our server, she was ultra attentive. She also provided the laughs & was for the girls. We will definitely return as long as Amanda is working. Will 100% come back!
Be aware that the crab claw add on for the seafood roll is $20.00 for a ~3 inch piece. Do they get them from Atlantis? Server asked if I wanted to add it & didn't mention the price at all. Food was good in terms of taste tho.
Stopped for a light lunch & a rest during sightseeing. The shrimp tacos were amazing, like easily some of the best I've ever had. Service was friendly & attentive, & the outdoor seating was lovely & shady. Nice alcohol free beer too!
Très bel ambiance, la bouffe excellente. Le service..... notre serveuse était très expéditive. Lorsqu'elle prenait notre commande regardait partout ailleurs; elle nous a même dit : une minute, je reviens. Elle a ramassé la table la fin & est partie sans nous demander si on voulait un dessert. & pas le temps de l'arrêter pour lui dire, elle était déjà partie. Nous avons dû se lever & aller voir la gérante pour demander des cafés. Nous lui avons demandé du lait, jamais reçu. Bref, nous ne sommes pas convaincus qu'elle est à sa place, malheureusement. On nous a dit que c'était rush, non il y avait beaucoup de tables de libre & aucune file l'entrée.
