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

The salmon with rice was awesome, and my wife's lamp pops were tender, juicy, and done very well! Josh and Tanya are awesome hosts and servers,, they make it a good time! Black Salt definitively on our favorite list. read more

Service was 10/10. Jessica took great care of us and everyone else was super nice too. They were very attentive and I would come back just because they were all so great. I'd try to come here in the past and it was way too crowded. This time we were early and beat the rush. The nachos are to die for. We did the pulled pork. The lamb chops were just okay. The fried burrata wad an interesting concept but left something to be desired. The key lime pie and the Reese's cake were both amazing. The drinks were solid. There were lots of tables and it was cute. I will definitely be back! read more

We went to dinner here this past Saturday night and sat at the bar to eat . Josh took amazing care of us , knows his mixology and makes the best drinks . The steak frites was delicious, tender and perfectly cooked, mussels so much flavor and of course extra juice to dunk the bread . It's a family owned business , highly recommend! 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

Amazing. Food is delicious. Josh was an amazing server. The atmosphere was friendly cheerful and welcoming

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

*Outstanding* food. We stopped here for lunch and tried the fried burrata, chickpea tikka masala, and crab cakes. We loved everything... great balance of flavors, and a subtle spiciness that's just right. Excellent service, and an atmosphere that's quiet but hip. Highly recommend! read more

We had a wonderful lunch here! My smash burger was perfect and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his sweet potato and bean burger. Both were served with hand cut fries that were amazing. Service was excellent and it was a lovely environment. I would highly recommend! read more

We decided to try a new restaurant this past weekend and despite having driven by many times had never stopped into Black Salt. It's really nicely decorated inside and there is a huge painting on the wall of the Braga Bridge. The cool part about it is the way that it's painted and there's lots of little details that you could spend quite a bit of time looking at and discovering new parts of it. We ended up ordering the calamari and the boneless chicken appetizer and they were both excellent. The portions were good and we ended up getting the sauces on the side for the chicken rather than having it tossed. The calamari comes in a sweet chili sauce with bok choy and peanuts and it was really really good. We will definitely be back to try some other things on the menu. We ended up chatting with one of the owners who was very nice and she told us that they're actually opening up a another restaurant over at the old LePage's seafood in Westport. It will be a different type of restaurant and it sounds like it's going to be great. We can't wait to try it! read more

A bit pricey but worth every penny! You get what you pay for. Chef is incredible. Services incredible. Food is spectacular.

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

Food and service was absolutely perfect! We will be back again. The only negative was they let a white Ford Platinum pick up park in the zone for wheelchair access to unload. Don't know for sure but guessing it's the owner. read more

Service was good and had a cozy but clean bistro feel. The meal I ordered (mushroom marsala pasta) was very tasty, and my group all enjoyed what they ordered as well. read more

Great service and everything we ordered was delicious. We visited a second time and our experience was the same. Really enjoyed everything, especially the deviled eggs. read more

We come here often. It is distance wise, a perfect spot to meet my wife's mother for dinner. The servers and hostess are extremely nice. It's really cute inside and very clean. The reason for mixed review is because you are going to either have a really good meal or not so good meal. I always order the steak frites which is espresso rubbed steak. It's a bavette cut, which is basically flank. With that being said it means it has to be cooked at high heat so it doesn't dry out. If the grill is "dirty" the entire steak will be a brick of charcoal with raw meat on the inside. we went last week and I asked them if they could make it not charcoaled that badly. The waiter told me he would ask them to clean the grill. It came literally like a brick of coal. For $30 this is ridiculous. I guess you'd have to go in the afternoon when the grill is clean? My wife always orders salmon and again it's hit or miss. Last week when we went, it was overcooked and dry. on a positive note we have been in the food comes out really good. I don't know if it's a time of day thing a chef thing or what? But, when it's good, it's good and when it's bad, it's bad there are only location wise. A few other places we could meet. And I always ask when I order that steak to not charcoal it. I have had it really good but twice just terribly disgusting. I wouldn't even mind if there was a little charcoal. I totally get it. I should add we did not go at closing time. It was about 7:00 PM. 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

Get the nachos you won't be disappointed everything else is top notch including the staff. Parking is tough but that speaks for itself

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

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

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

Food, service, atmosphere. I had the Salmon dish. Salmon was cooked well but it came in a small bed of rice? I generally see a large portion of rice under my salmon at other venues. Wasn't impressed with the restaurant at all! Will not be going back. 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

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

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

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

Delicious food! The shrimp cocktail was divine, rivaling any of the best upscale restaurants! Delicious cocktails, I enjoyed the pear martini. Delicious little necks with chourico, , homemade chili, and skillet cornbread. Ended with a delectable espresso martini. I can't say enough about the incredible staff here. They are so efficient, accommodating, and friendly. Such a pleasure to dine here! 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

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

We went at dinner time. We had a reservation and we were put in the middle of an aisle. People kept walking by us along with servers. We felt claustrophobic. The service was dairy, the food was so so. 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

delicious food! Service is a little slow sometimes but the food is always great. The ribeye was cooked to perfect ion and the seasoning was spot on! I got the chickpea dish which was fantastic- highly recommend. Overall a good spot for dinner- can be on the pricey side but it's very good read more
