A delightful find for a quiet brunch with close friends. The lamb kabobs with rice and the spanakopita appetizer were delicious, as was the Greek white wine. Staff are friendly, and there’s no sense of rushing. We will definitely return for a full dinner.

I had dinner at Sea Salt with three friends to celebrate a birthday, and asked for a quiet table. They provided a quiet location but unfortunately there was a group of 4 nearby that became loud and boisterous. Food was very good, especially the zucchini and eggplant chips. Grilled branzino was fine but not very interesting - no sides with it. Halibut was excellent - asked for the lentil salad with it which was also excellent. One person had salmon which she didn't much like. Dessert was lava cake with ice cream - delicious. Service was very good. We would go back and try some of the meat dishes.

It is generally a good place with yummy food. We went for brunch and it is expensive and not great food. Eggs Benedict and it comes with salmon. It says bacon available on request. No bacon. Drink Bloody Mary. Nope they didn’t have that. Potatoes were ice cold. They brought more a little warmer. Not much. All in all not a great brunch. Service was great.
