    We had a birthday lunch at SALT on a Sunday in October. While the restaurant has a casual atmosphere, we sat outside and the setting was breathtaking. The staff was so attentive and brought over a beautiful sparkler with our cake that was so fun and festive. We will definitely go back!

    Great experience. Cocktails and seafood were delicious! It was a nice fall night. When it got cool, heaters were turned on.
