Review by Bernie

October 08, 2024

The Salt Line offers a delightful seafood experience right on the waterfront. The fresh oysters were a standout, perfectly briny and chilled! I loved the crispy fish sandwich, paired wonderfully with a smooth Old Fashion cocktail. The ambiance was trendy yet casual, making it perfect for any occasion. While the portion sizes could have been more generous, the flavors made up for it. Don't forget to check out the happy hour for great deals on drinks and bites! 🌊
