    Our first visit to Fresh Salt. A beautiful spot although it was too dark to enjoy the waterfront location. The ambiance was delightfully quiet at a very comfortable table. The service was excellent and our waiter was very friendly and helpful. My Rhode Island Chowder, my favorite, was very good, This offering is very difficult to find so I was excited to try it. My wife had a blended chowder of a mix of New England and Rhode Island she declared it excellent as well. I had the Cast Iron Seared Pork Chop. A very satisfying portion and cooked to perfection. My wife's Swordfish was very good too. And the Bread Pudding for dessert was the best finish I could hope for. Our only criticism was the food could have been served hotter. Overall, the visit to Fresh Salt was well worth it and we will return.

    A very good meal, good service. Only down side was a large group that was exceptionally loud. It became hard for the 2 of us to simply hear each other.
