    Decided to get dinner at Salt after seeing chef Jon's instagram story about the linguini and clams + mussels dish, and it did not disappoint! The sauce was a perfect blend of garlic and herbs, with the pasta being cooked perfectly. We also indulged in the halibut entree, which was cooked to perfection. The pistachio crust perfectly complimented the bright red pepper puree. I would highly recommend Salt to anyone looking for high-quality seafood and homemade pasta dishes.

    Grilled oysters

    Came here for happy hour while visiting on a weekday and were able to be seated right away. We ordered half a dozen grilled oysters, half a dozen raw oysters, and calamari from the happy hour menu + a smoked italian sausage pizza from the normal menu. I enjoyed the oysters - the grilled ones were huge compared to the raw (not sure if that's common), but they all tasted fresh. The calamari and pizza were also good. Overall, the service was good and the space / ambience of the restaurant was nice and spacious. Would recommend for anyone looking for some happy hour bites!

    Very good food, but it is a smaller menu. The inside is super pretty! A perfect date night location.

    Great pizza, awesome burger, and the fried calamari was great too! Not shown here was our flight of oysters, both raw or grilled. Amazing!

    Definitely an epic local spot. Great vibe, really fits the local community atmosphere. On weekends definitely try to get a reservation, as they are not a massive place and is a popular spot for the locals. Located in an old Machine Shop building, which in itself makes the location really cool. Great friendly service, awesome food. 10/10

    Fast friendly service. Great food. Looking forward to our return. Only street parking, no parking lot, so plan on a walk.

    Frito Misti de Mare.

    Cool place near the water. People were very nice and service was good. Food wasn't so good. Had the appetizer bread, which was good and hot, but too much Oregano. Had 3 grilled oysters and nearly left after putting the first in my mouth. It was hot off the grill which was great, but the belly was full and it tasted like (can't type it). I thought about spitting it out, but cloth Napkin and sitting by myself next to other tables forced me to chew through the nastiness. I had the Frito Misto as the entree and it was just not good. All the items were breaded with heavy panko and hard to tell the fish apart. The prawns were large, but not evenly cooked. Must have been from frozen. The kicker was the cocktail sauce. It was just ketchup. Ordering seafood next to the ocean in an upscale restaurant should provide a decent meal. Not so much. Try another spot unless you are just looking for a drink.

    The food was so fresh and delicious We wanted something quick but with flavor and good ingredients. So glad we came back a second time. The oysters were fresh even when grilled so yummy, normally don't eat them but I had to try them,glad I did. It was very filling and we didn't want to leave anything behind and finished it, was more than enough for 2 people, good portions

    Grilled Oysters!!   Bbq, Chimichuri,  and garlic butter!!

I found this restauraunt on Yelp and we reserved it for my birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We sat by the window and had a beautiful view of the sunset and bay. Upon being seated we were served some bread with some whipped butter mixed with some sort of seafood I believed? I forgot, but the butter was delicious. Our first round of bread however, was average at best and was very dense and doughy. The next rounds of bread were significantly better though, so maybe there's an inconsistency with the way they bake their bread in-house. I ordered the seafood penne pasta and my boyfriend ordered the king salmon with risotto. Both were "specials" and were not on the menu. However after digging into reviews here, it seems they are not so much specials since both dishes have been served here for the past 7ish years. Seafood penne pasta: I would rate a 3/5, maybe a 2.5/5. The pasta itself was not al dente which was disappointing. The "star" of this dish was supposed to be the scallop, which was severely undercooked! It was super soft and mushy. The shrimp was alright...some were overcooked. The salmon was also dry. I think the only thing I really enjoyed was the mussels, clams, and the sauce. The sauce had some curry with a small kick to it. This dish was just okay. Escargot: We ordered as our appetizer, I'd give it a 3.5/5! The escargot was a little soft but paired wonderfully with the bread. Creme brûlée: 3/5. Our waitress kindly put a birthday candle on it for my birthday. :) I enjoyed it, and it was very custardy! The downside was that the sugar on top was too burnt. I can't speak much for my boyfriend's dish, I did have a bite of his salmon and it was alright, maybe a bit too salty. The service however was wonderful and our waitress was super kind and helpful. Maybe I would come back to try another dish if I'm back in the area.

Since we have moved to Humboldt County, we have been here well over 30 times. I look forward to coming here, it is our go to place when we come down the hill. I have yet to have something bad here, and what I have had makes me salivate when I think about it, heck, I am getting hungry now. So if you want a place to eat in or near Arcata, CA. this is the place. In fact if you are on the 101 and you are between Crescent City and Garberville, you might just want to wait until you get to Arcata to eat.

Overall, the food was very good, it was packed well, and it came quickly. Unfortunately, the order came with no plastic silverware, no napkins, just the food. Did they not see that this was going to a motel? Fortunately, I had a plastic fork from another meal, and I just used TP for napkins. Please pay a little bit more attention to the details. I decided to go with the à la Mexicana omelette, which had spicy beef, cheese, salsa, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, olives, and green onions. Basically, a "taco omelette." it also came with jalapeños, but I put in the comments to please leave them out, and they did. To drink, I had a "Tutti Frutti", which was orange and cranberry juice, with Sprite. The omelette was very good. They were generous with all of the ingredients. I love a good "taco omelette", and this was right up there with others that I have had. The eggs were tender, the beef and the salsa had just a little bit of a spice, just enough that I knew it was there. I liked the sour cream And The lettuce and the diced tomato provided a nice "pop" of freshness. I loved the drink. The orange and the cranberry played very well together, and they didn't put in so much sprite that it watered down the rest of the flavors. The hashbrowns were OK, just generic restaurant hashbrowns, and I wish they would've given me a choice of the bread when I ordered. I would've mentioned it in the comments, but I didn't think about it. It was just your standard white toast. It was OK, but I would've preferred like a nice sourdough, or rye, or something like that. They have a lot of things on their menu, and I would definitely order from here again, either delivery or in person. Thank you.
