Great service and ambience. However this was a one and done for us. Food was good but not exceptional. Most came out lukewarm warm and very small portions for such a high price price point.

Really really kind waiters but definitely not enough staff for a Sunday brunch (2 people total, 1 behind the bar making coffees/drinks and 1 on the floor). One from our group of 7 was in a rush and ordered before the rest of us even ordered coffee and somehow her dish came out after the rest of our food did so she didn’t have time to eat. The rest of the food was moderate. Good burrata, amazing eggplant/zucchini chips. Omelette was fine. Coffee was good. Will give it another try in a few weeks when they’ve had a chance to iron out the kinks but they’ll have to improve a lot to survive in nycs restaurant world..

Went to Sea Salt for a Valentine's Day date. We had to wait for a table even though we had a reservation, and were on time, because the place was packed. They were very courteous about it. Once we got seated, the wait staff was very attentive. We had a couple of appetizers, which were both good, and my date and I both got fish. The fish was good and well-cooked. My real problem was that we were very rushed. The table next to us was asked to get up and leave almost immediately after finishing their desserts so that they could clear their table. The same thing happened to us. After seating us late, it just felt particularly tacky to be rushed out, especially since they didn't comp anything for making us wait twenty minutes. Good food, and a nice atmosphere, but the service left something to be desired.

We had a great meal at Sea Salt! The mezze platter and the crispy eggplant and zucchini were fantastic. Everyone enjoyed their dinner thoroughly. Very attentive service and good wine. Highly recommended.

Food and service were both disappointing. The spanakopita appetizer was burnt and took 30 minutes to get to the table. The mains came 20 minutes after that. Two out of the three dishes were cold when they arrived. They ran out of two of the four desserts on the menu. Please pick any other place on the upper east side for a better meal.
