    Fantastic food, impeccable service, and well worth the visit! What a fantastic experience at Saltie Girl! We started with the oysters, followed by the warm lobster roll for my main course, and both were absolutely delicious. The quality of the food was exceptional, and the service was equally impeccable. A word of caution though… make a reservation! This place is incredibly popular, with queues literally stretching out the door. Without a reservation, you could find yourself waiting quite some time. Thankfully, we booked through OpenTable and were seated almost immediately. And whatever you do, save a little room for dessert! The chocolate chip cookie is an absolute must and the perfect way to finish an already fantastic meal. Great food, excellent service, and clearly a restaurant that deserves its popularity. We’ll definitely be back!

    Fantastic experience. Started off with the caviar potato, 10/10 and the Foie gras, 10/10. We ordered the Prime Ribeye and Swordfish. The steak was cooked perfectly. Sides were the sweet potato, creamed spinach and carrots. The sweet potato was massive and the other two sides are easily shareable. Could have split just one side, maybe two. Martini was a 10/10. Our server Bernardo was outstanding and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.
