Brunch review! I've been going to Black Salt since they opened. You come for the food but stay for the people. We came for brunch in on Sunday. I had my first ever bloody Maria and it was delicious. I had their brunch burger on a bolo and it was perfect. The side of truffle fries was exactly what it needed. They've updated things since they initially opened so if you haven't been in a while, you should definitely check it out. The food is great, the drinks are amazing and the vibe is really what Swansea needed. Looking forward to their continued success in the opening of their new restaurant in Westport! read more

Not the cheapest but the quality is there. When it comes to dining out quality is most important. Servers are fantastic especially Josh I believe his name is. Cute little place. Would be nice to have more private seating but I guess kind of hard to do... read more

Stopped by for some lunch on our way to visit Rhode Island, and I'm really glad we did! The spot stands out in the older town of Swansea. The decor has a modern feel still with some charming touches. Our server was very welcoming and friendly. I couldn't decide between the mushtoom pasta and the steak frites, so he recommended that I add steak to the pasta to make it more filling. I took the recommendation and it was soooo good, the steak and mushrooms made the pasta so savory and hearty without feeling too heavy. My sister had the half-chicken and it was taking a short while, but I appreciated our server coming by with updates on the meal to assure us that it was being prepared properly. I'm not sure if I'll be back in the area anytime soon, but if I am, I'll be sure to drop by again! read more

Stopped here on a whim, so glad we did. It all was wonderful! The pretzel sticks were deliciously buttered and the cheese/pulled pork dip was scrumptious. Can't recall which margarita I got but it had a peppercorn rim, fruity, tangy, and really good! My cousin got the smashburger which was my favorite thing out of all of this deliciousness. I got the Cuban panini. It was huge! Really excellent. We split and shared sandwiches. I'm not often in this area but I'd make the 40 minute trip from home to eat here again. read more

The food was excellent! I had the salmon burger over greens with a chipotle dressing. My spouse enjoyed the Cuban sandwich. The service was also excellent! The restaurant was so inviting and very clean and bright. Parking was easy and this place is open 7 days a week! It definitely is a must try. read more

We drive by here a lot but never been in. My wife and I decide to give it a try on Tuesday night. It was actually surprisingly busy. The staff and the host were on queue and sat us down right away. I glanced at the bar, and it was packed. I would say it is a good night for the restaurant. We started out with Asian inspired calamari appetizer. The golden fried calamari rings came with bok choy and roasted peanuts as toppers, with sweet and tangy sauce. Thai or southeastern Asia inspired variety. A little different in the area dominated by either Italian or Portuguese style calamari. My main dish was Shrimp Mozanbique with good portion of shrimp. My wife ordered a mushroom marsala dish. Both were on point and respected the ingredients. Not too saucy or dry. A good balance. Our wait staff Chase was excellent. It is nice to see that we have young but enthusiastic server who is nice and attentive. We do not see excellent server like him anymore anywhere. Vey casual atmosphere with locals enjoying themselves. A good vibe. We will be back again to try other things on the menu! read more

Delicious food! The shrimp cocktail was divine, rivaling any of the best upscale restaurants! Delicious cocktails, I enjoyed the pear martini.

They are so efficient, accommodating, and friendly. Such a pleasure to dine here! read more

What a gem! Great caring owner checking on you often. Surprisingly the food is awesome. Guess I was remembering the old place. This is so much better! The stuffed fish was outstanding. And steak fantastic. Looking forward to returning. read more

We met the chef on Sunday while out at a different restaurant, he was so personable. After some conversation and learning he is the chef of Black Salt, we decided to give it a try. We went the following day on a Monday and tried his famous meatloaf, which did not disappoint. The side of carrots were absolutely unbelievable, and the entire meal was incredible. We also tried the focaccia bread and the deviled eggs, which were a favorite as well. The service was great. Everyone was friendly. The entire inside was a comfortable and chic look. I would absolutely go back for a date night. I can't believe this was my first time having Black Salt. We will absolutely be back! Chef Chris is just simply awesome. Amazing food. Great place. Can't say enough great things ! read more

Lunch yesterday was, again, WONDERFUL. Even though I was sorely tempted to order Mushroom Marsala Pasta again (which is fantastic), I wanted to try the chickpeas. And I am DO HAPPY I did. Black Salt must have a chef with expertise in Indian cuisine. Probably need to order two meals and take two trays of leftovers. Started with the mushroom appetizer, which was delicious! read more

We were going to an event nearby, and decided to stop by for an early dinner. I actually saw a clip from the Phantom Gourmet about this place that seemed fantastic, so we decided to give it a try. This place is pretty new, everything including the bathrooms are newly decorated and perfect. The drink menu, including beer, wine, mixed drinks, bourbon was fantastic, however we were on our way to a wine tasting, so we did not imbibe. We had an app (Short Rib Bao Buns) and shared a salmon dinner, and both were delicious. The staff was friendly, efficient and there when you needed.....perfect. The food was fantastic, and reasonably priced. I'd highly recommend, and we will be back read more

Our 5th time at Black Salt over the last few months happened today (5/5/25). My husband and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough for its menu selections, service, ambiance, cleanliness---everything! They often have SPECIALS that enhance our experiences there, too. You OWE it to YOURSELF to include Black Salt in your Dine Out schedule! (And they're even opened 7 days per week, day and night!) read more

Ok, so, the service was incredible. Our waiter was attentive and great. The food was flavorful, but not cooked as expected. My wife has steak tips cooked medium. About half of them were medium, but the rest were extremely rare. I had the salmon which I was told would be cooked medium. It was very overcooked and blackened. The drinks were very good as well as the service. read more

We were so very happy to try this place. We were not at all disappointed. Excellent service and food. Lots of food choices and very clean. Wonderful little gem. read more

We started with the lamb appetizer...A+!! Cooked to perfection and the sauce was off to the side so we could what we wanted. It was seriously so good I ate the remaining sauce by itself when our lamb was gone! For entrees I ordered a steak & crab special (again medium rare cooked perfectly!) and my friend got the salmon with a pineapple rice. We shared plates and we each said each other's dish was amazing! I was going to take half of mine home but it was so good I ate the whole plate! The fig cocktail I had was delicious and the crem brûlée was as a perfect ending. The wine recommendations by our server were spot on! The place is cute and we were very comfortable at our high top for two. Well done to the staff! Everyone was friendly, helpful and we could see everyone working together as a team with the goal of providing a well rounded experience! Our server was awesome and attentive. At times when he was occupied, other staff members were sure to check in. Well done Black Salt!! read more

Enjoyed a delicious lunch here. I have a gluten sensitivity and found this restaurant after searching for establishments with gluten free options. They have 5 or 6 meal choices I could have. We started with the chicken nachos for an appetizer. Very tasty and the chicken and cheeses were layered within the nachos, not just placed on the top. I couldn't try the calamari unfortunately as it's prepared with gluten. We both ordered the grilled pork which was nicely tender. They offered a number of specials. The server was excellent. Will definitely be returning. read more

Overall pretty good. Good service and nice plate presentations. The bar and signature cocktails looked excellent. Looking forward to a return trip. The BBQ/Buffalo chicken fingers battered perfectly but too much heat. The Cesar Salad has a unique presentation. The Italian grinder has nice ingredients and fries cooked perfectly. Nice renovation on the building, deck and grounds. Clean rest room and well lite parking lot. Open concept so it is a little loud than normal. Great dining experience, hope to return soon read more

First time trying out Black Salt and had been wanting to visit sooner, but wow, this place is a gem. The service was outstanding and very informative. He listed all the amazing "specials" that made our decision even harder. Now we have to return just to try all the other amazing dishes. He had the Black Salt Burger & fries and I went with Tuna Nachos to start and a grilled chicken Caesar salad. Both were very light, yet filling. We thought we recognize the server and come to find out he used to take care of us at Mesa 21 & worked for 15 years. Him and his sister broke off and now have this wonderful place on their hands. We look forward to returning & wish them all the best! read more

On our way through MA we had to make a pit stop in a nearby town, and wandered into Black Salt in search of dinner. To our surprise, the restaurant was modern, clean and inviting. The staff were very welcoming and extremely attentive, and the food was delicious! Had a perfectly cooked burger as well as a fantastic shrimp pasta. Would 100% recommend if you are in the area. read more

We ate at Black Salt this past Saturday afternoon around 2 PM. The restaurant was fairly busy for that time of day. We ordered calamari, crab cakes and wine. Delicious!!! For dessert we shared a very tasty creme brulee. Please try this restaurant. It is a hidden gem. The service and the food were excellent. read more

Tried this place today for brunch and we were not impressed. Maybe their lunch or dinner is better? Two scrambled eggs, one piece of toast and home fries that were mostly burnt and too crispy for $16 is a bit much in my opinion. The eggs were discolored and stringy. No flavor. We thought the waitress was good and the ambience inside was nice. It does seem like a local joint where most people knew each other. read more

I've been there several times, each time hoping the food would improve but it just hasn't. The calamari is good as well as the service. This time I ordered the seafood pasta, it's tasted like tomatoes and detergent. I ate the seafood but only after scraping the sauce off as best I could. The pasta was thick and chewy I ate three pieces and just called it quits. I want this business to do great but they need food that's not just meh,. read more

The best service around! Our waiter was very personable and polite. The food was very good! We definitely will be back to try the rest of the menu soon! read more

Swansea really needed another good dining option and I'm happy to say Black Salt is it. Whenever we drive by it has looked super busy so we decided to go for a late lunch. It's much bigger inside than I thought so won't be deterred by the full parking lot next time. Service was great. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server, who happened to be one of the owners, was more than happy to explain anything on the menu, make suggestions, tell us a little bit about the business and building and tell us about some of their upcoming plans. The cocktail list looked great but I went with a Cabernet, which I enjoyed. There is an extensive list of craft beer bottles and cans that my husband started to work his way through. On to the food. I had seen some of the reviews about high prices and small portions. Our portions were definitely not small and prices are in line with other area restaurants. We started with the mussels and deviled eggs and really enjoyed both. The broth on the mussels was garlicky and delicious. I had the Autumn Harvest Salad and enjoyed it. I liked the grilled taste of the chicken. My husband ordered the salmon. He said it was cooked perfectly and the rice that was served with it almost outshone the salmon. We'll definitely be back. read more

Stopped on Sunday for brunch. Really enjoyed the food, the Fritatta was prepared just right. And I loved the roasted potatoes. The Bloody Mary with bacon was spot on, perfect for a summer day. Hat's off to Chance our server. He was prompt, courteous and attentive. Gave us good recommendations, and didn't rush us. Will be back with my husband. Thanks for the wonderful brunch. read more
