Reviews for SALT Restaurant & Bar in Marina Del Rey, CA

Overall: Meal was ok, drinks were ok. Very pricey but what you would expect for a restaurant by the water. Went here for my... birthday based off yelp reviews. There was nothing that stood out. The business was under construction so certain drinks wereunavailable and there were men working with gravel right next to the outdoor patio. Ambiance: The hotel looked cute and the viewwas nice. Drinks: The drinks are cleverly named but the flavors were nothing new, exciting or particularly tasty. 10lb mustache-meh like a regular margarita with a chamoy straw or a pineapple rum drink with a pretty flower in it dont remember the name.All pretty basic. Expect about $20 drinks, $20 apps and $45-50 entrees & $15 sides Food: The calamari was ok, nothingspecial. The crabcake was pretty good The brussel sprouts were good The mac n cheese was ok The caesar salad - bland likeregular bag salad, no pepper offered the short rib - ok maybe flavors too sophisticated for a teenager he didn't eat much ofit I had to ask the waiter 5 times for the dessert menu, when it came I just wanted a simple piece so we could sing happybirthday unfortunately I did not find one.

The plates that I tried here were extremely pricey in comparison to the quality. The food lacked flavor and consistency. 3 stars... given for the strong mixed drinks, the outside fire pits overlooking the marina, and the convenient Hotel right upstairs.Perfect setting to have a rendezvous/meet and drink before heading up to the hotel room. The food however may kill the mood. Itried the Roasted Local Halibut $48.00 Great presentation but the fish was uncooked in middle. Good for Tuna not Halibut. I wontbe back. Read more

It was a vibe. The people were really nice and the food was so flavorful! It was a nice place to enjoy the view, have quick... service, and it had a calm atmosphere. We will definitely going back for the fish tacos! A nice gem to find! From 2-4p there?s20% off of food and drinks! Read more

We stayed at the hotel over the weekend and had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. The food for all three meals was pricey but... definitely worth it. Beautiful presentation and delicious flavors. If you're celebrating the Wagyu beef was to die for. Theinside decor could use an upgrade or detailed cleaning, but it didn't really get in the way of enjoying our meals. Loved thepatio ambiance. Had the tacos for lunch, yummy but messy. Breakfast was the chilaquiles and it was a perfect portion. Read more

Had brunch with my friends here recently. Ordered the bay breezy (delicious), calamari, jumbo shrimp cocktail and the breakfast... burrito. I would not recommend the breakfast burrito. Overall service was very good. Read more

The food is really really good but the service was horrible. If you see my reviews the focus on the food, ambience and service.... SALT came highly recommended because of the complete package: food, environment and service. The food and drinks are amazing.My wife had a nice drink and salmon salad. I had a GREAT turkey and avocado sandwich with crispy fries. The food is great! Theservice was where it was sorely lacking. Everyone else seemed to have good service except us. It could be due to our locationbut it was not the service as recommended. At the end of our meal my wife was given this tasty mango sorbet for herbirthday. The restaurant has a great restroom and ADA access. I probably won't come here again because of the price but thefood was really good. Read more

Service was great. Wind started picking up while we ate outside enjoying the view of the marina. The hostess quickly turned on... the outdoor heater near us. We started with the chips and queso appetizer. it was so good but because it arrived with our food,we didn't get to enjoy them as much.I had wonderful fresh fish tacos. My son had Loco moco burger with the egg on top and lotsof different types of mushrooms. Such a beautiful day with a peaceful environment. Everyone here is so friendly. Many differentnations represented. Read more
