    One of the best restaurants we have ever been to! The sushi, bar service, and ambiance were incredible. My husband and I agree that this was hands down the best sushi we have ever had! 10/10 would go back in a heartbeat!

    This is a great restaurant though we’ve only had breakfasts. My husband came back a second time for the lobster hollandaise sauce. Unfortunately the cook the second time e did not make the hollandaise sauce as good as the first time The poached eggs were perfect as was the bacon.

    It was so noisy and very hard to have a conversation with my friends because a private party was held behind us. The noise levels were the same as sports bars.

    Probably our best meal in the island. The lobster gnocchi is a delicacy. So delicious.

    We started a new Thanksgiving tradition this year and are very happy to report that Red Salt was the perfect place to have TG dinner! Noah Was our server (he has helped us in the past also) and his service was exceptional, as always. The food at Red Salt remains amongst the best on the island. We had a very non-traditional Thanksgiving meal which included sushi, seafood and a steak. We highly recommend Red Salt for a delicious meal in a beautiful location. We were so thankful to the staff for working on the holiday so that we could enjoy a stress-free meal. Mahalo!

    Aloha Juli, Mahalo for choosing Red Salt to start your new Thanksgiving tradition! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed a memorable holiday meal with exceptional service from Noah. Your kind words mean so much to our team, especially on a special day like Thanksgiving. We look forward to welcoming you back for more delicious meals in our beautiful setting. Mahalo, Joanna

    It was an OK meal. It was good food but definitely not worth the price tag for the food options and ambience. We ate similar quality at nearby restaurants that were less expensive and had nice views. The wait staff was great though.
