This was our first visit .... And I have to say I'll come again just for the creamy bisque. The taste and texture were over the top. The place had a nice view of the bay. And inside/outside seating. I took a picture of the bisque, sorry I couldn't wait! I had the fish sandwich my way. Loved it except the roll was uninspiring. It kinda felt and looked stale. The wife had the bookmaker salad which she said was very good. The shrimp were nice and big but could've used some color from the grill. I'd imagine they are steamed plan. Overall a solid 4 but could be a 5+ with some minor modifications. The service was good by Susan L! Either way ... come try the bisque.t read more

awesome views, nice waitstaff, great food, although some entrees a bit too salty. Drink prices are reasonable too. Would like to see a little less plastic cups being used for drinks. read more

Four of us went for lunch on a Monday afternoon. Lovely ambiance. Drinks were good. We ordered a seafood chowder- it was barely warm. It had a strange chunky texture and looked a bit oily. Taste was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. The rest of our food was a little more successful: a trio of seafood, some lobster sliders, a mozz and tomato salad, and fried cauliflower were all decent. Truffle fries were another miss. Five of our plates came out together, and we had to chase the waiter down for the last one. I have a feeling he's still learning, so we cut him some slack. I don't know if I'd return - none of the food was outstanding - maybe just for drinks outside overlooking the bay. read more

This review is based on a small takeout order . I ordered the salad with shrimp . It was ready quickly and the staff was very friendly. The salad itself was a huge portion with a lot of steamed shrimp on it . It could have been so much better had they chopped it up a little and left the cheese off that covered the entire top of the salad. read more

The view was beautiful! Come here during sunset and you really get to enjoy gorgeous views while you eat. The food was good, just very small portions. I got the lobster ravioli and it came with only four (4) raviolis. I get it if the food is insanely high quality but with pretty average flavors you'd think they'd make up for it in portion sizes. Our waitress was kind and helpful, it was really busy but she was still attentive when we didn't have enough silverware for our whole party and she brought some more out. Would recommend for a beautiful sunset dinner accompanied by some good food. read more

consistently good! no reservations - go expecting a wait. they said it would be 45 min for our party of 3 and it was 10 min max. this place gets very crowded. large parking lot but it tends to fill up. indoor, rooftop, patio, and true outdoor seating. inside is kinda boring but outside they have sand and a tiki bar and it's on the water so it's good vibes. the food is kinda pricey for what you get but it's the beach, and it's more for vibes. they have delicious french fries (specifically the truffle fries!) and their seafood is good. despite it being busy, our service was good and our food came quickly. a nice spot for happy hour or dinner with a view, but don't expect a michelin star! read more

Saltwater 75 has a great location along the bay with very pretty sunset views. It's not super fancy, but it's laid out in an aesthetically appealing way. The food is also very good. Their scallops dish was about as good as the most expensive fine dining scallops I've had which cost more than twice as much. The other food was also excellent. It's not fancy food... You eat by the bay with a small pitcher as your water cup. But, several dishes are comparable to what you'd get at a very high end place. Our server was nice. The service wasn't super fast because diners kind of want to lounge there and take in the sunset, but it wasn't slow. They also have fun beach-y cocktails that are crowd pleasers but polished up a bit so that they're proper cocktails, not syrupy sweet concoctions. All in all, a great place. read more

Don't come here with friends! Food was good but they will no longer do separate checks. Table of 4 and they wouldn't do two checks or even compute how much each couple's bill was. They just dumped it on the table for us to figure out. That's an annoying end to the evening and unnecessary since the technology to provide separate checks is readily available. I talked to the manager who basically said that's our policy. They just lost a couple of customers... read more

We had such a great time here and the food was amazing! Came as a group of 4 and we started with mozzarella logs, which was a special. The logs were cooked perfectly and well seasoned, the cheese had the perfect pull, and the marinara sauce was really good. I also ordered a dirty banana frozen drink which was not overly sweet, and I liked that. For dinner I got the salmon teriyaki. The salmon was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The pina colada rice was some of the best rice I've ever had! It was light and fluffy and you got that hint of coconut flavor. And the green beans were cooked perfectly, although they did need just a touch more salt. Our hostess and server were very nice and personable. The ambiance was nice. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

The concierge at our hotel recommended this place to us. It was overall fine. The inside is very spacious. There is a nice drink menu with several cocktails and some local beer selections. I love the tiny pitchers that the waters came in. I got a painkiller that was a tad watery, but still scratched the itch. We tried the feta dip appetizer, which was decent; I just wish they gave us a little more bread to dip into it! I got some of the corn and crab bisque; this wasn't bad. Not a silky bisque like I'd expected, but I like a little texture, so it worked for me. I'd get this again. The buffalo cauliflower felt like it was missing something. Maybe it was light on the buffalo sauce or maybe the bacon dust was just gilding the lily and distracted from it. My wife's po' boy sandwich was made better when she asked for some more sauce to go with it. So overall, nothing bad. The food is decent. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. read more

Saltwater 75 is in a great location only a block from the ocean and right on the bay with lots of indoor seating and a great outside "beach" bar with tables set up in the sand overlooking the bay. We were on vacation and looking for a place to enjoy an Orange Crush on Happy Hour near the water to cool off as the temperature was in the 90s. Consensus was to try here as we received the recommendation from a relative in the area. Crushes were good, although the happy hour price was $2 off crushes - a little on the pricier side compared to many of the restaurant/bars we've frequented. After our Crushes my dad and I switched over to $3 bottled Yuenglings. It seems as if they did update their happy hour offerings as their website now advertises 2 for 1 drinks at the bar which I'd prefer over $2 off. My cousins ordered Dirty Bananas which they liked enough to order round 2. We also ordered Fried Mozzarella and Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower to share - both of which were hits. We liked the Mozzarella Sticks so much we thought there'd be a chance they're made and breaded in house - bartender confirmed they're dropped off frozen from a truck. The outside beach bar is very well made and sturdy with concrete bar tops and lots of wooden trusses in the roof. The bartender was nice to us. We were the only ones at the bar for a while so he hung around to chat, had a great sense of humor, and was very down to earth. I would definitely visit again as it's in a great location and I'm sure has a fun atmosphere at night, but not being from the area and having so many other places to try, I'm not sure when I'll be getting back here. read more

First visit to Ocean City, MD & a very nice dinner at Saltwater75 6/03/25 6:30pm. Although quite popular, it was very unhurried at the upstairs bar. Nice & breezy on the inlet. Lots of seating upstairs & downstairs. Plenty of parking. The bartender was Andrew R and he took our drink orders. Square Knot margarita ($10) tangy, not sweet & house Pinot Grigio ($7.50). We had Casino rock oysters app ($19)-3 nice fresh oysters, lemon & Tabasco sauce to kick 'em up. Our dinners were shrimp Po' Boy dressed ($18) perfectly cooked, w/ Remoulade-a generous serving & broiled Lemon Pepper Cod ($28) - excellent, served w/ nice side of grilled veggies. Dinners were served promptly & hot. Note: Maryland has a food & beverage tax and a MD alcohol tax on top of their state tax (total tax $8.35). Open 7 days a week 11am-12pm, kitchen closes at 10pm. Happy Hour is M-F 11am-5pm bar only. A very nice first impression. Thank you Andrew R and kudos to the kitchen staff. Will recommend & see you on our next visit to OC, MD.

Love it here! Always great deals and a great happy hour special. One of the best views of the bay. We recommend it to everyone we know!

Came Tue night for dinner. Looking for a sunset view, we were advised to head upstairs. However, the bar across the top of the glass obstructed the full sight line. To really take in the view, you had to look above or below it. The service was friendly and kind, but the food was not great. The shrimp/scallops and pork/pineapple entree each lacked flavor, and the calamari app was spicy, despite no indication in the description that it would be so. Lastly, I know musicians need gigs to get their name out there, so I won't name anyone, but it was just, ok. It was rather slow and melodramatic. Beach restaurant prices are already higher than other places.. so we would not return again. read more

Great atmosphere, wonderful Happy Hour, only thing is only 2 out of 3 bartenders actually working, a teacher and a young lady hustling and both very good bartenders , the 3rd bald dude was useless and actually aggravating, looked at empty cups several times and just rolled on doing basically nothing,I feel bad for the other 2 that were carrying the Happy Hour crowd, they earned their tips, hopefully they don't have to share with "SLO-Mo-Jo". read more

Loved everything about Saltwater 75! The view from the upstairs bar is unbeatable, and the service was excellent. Sean was our bartender and he was awesome--friendly, attentive, and kept the good vibes going. The shrimp po boy was delicious, and the 2-for-1 happy hour made it even better. Definitely one of my new go-to spots! read more

Disappointed. This place was great when it first opened and has stopped carrying about quality. I have gotten the dip trio multiple times without issue and this time the tuna was too spicy. Not sure if the recipe changed or what but it was inedible. Asked to sub out the tuna and keep the other part that I was enjoying. I was told I have to give back the whole plate and order something else. Makes zero sense. I ordered nothing and left hungry. Beautiful views and family friendly but leaves room for improvement. Spend your $$ elsewhere. read more

We showed up as a party of seven at 3 PM on a Sunday and were welcomed with open arms. The seating options were awesome--indoor, rooftop, or right on the beach. We went for the bayside beach, and it didn't disappoint! The food was fresh and delicious, with a Mediterranean twist (feta in almost everything, but hey, no complaints!). I had the bisque soup and salmon salad--both were spot-on, with portions that definitely don't leave you hungry. Our waitress was fantastic, happily splitting our checks without batting an eye. The place is new and it shows--everything was super clean, including the restrooms. The view of the bay, swinging chairs, and picnic tables made for a perfect setting. We even spotted some horseshoe crabs! Great food, great service, and a stunning location. I'm sure the sunset is beautiful here! read more

Stopped by for some apps and drinks before a dinner reservation. Really enjoyed the views, the live music, and the food and drinks were pretty good too! Highly recommend the tuna poke with wonton chips, and of course you gotta try a classic orange crush anytime you're in OC. I will say that service at the bar was not super friendly, welcoming, or fast which was a bit of a turn off. When I ordered food and said we were sitting by the Adirondacks, the bartender said I'd need to come pick up my food myself in 10-15 minutes. Luckily, someone brought it out to us, but I just thought it was weird. The bartenders didn't really seem like they wanted to do much or offer a high level of service. We saw a lot of food coming out to tables and it all looked pretty good! Especially the seafood salads, so if we come back we'd definitely try that! read more

So hoping this would be better because so much potential on this old locals spot. The views are still beautiful. The food ,although good , had portions that were so extremely skimpy I had to wright a review. I'll post some pics too. The music was amazing. But the establishment needs to balance their sound more from the musicians. The sound was louder from the wall speakers on the opposite side of were the musicians were. This is also the side facing the complaining condos . It's weird watching musicians sing and the voices / sound comes elsewhere. The service was ok . The biggest disappointment was the pulled pork sandwich that had basically no meat. Got the feeling their looking for the one and done tourist as with portions and prices like that no local would come back . read more

My parents have been coming here for a while and S75 were on their game when we came to visit 4th of July week. At 7:30, it took only 5 minutes to get a table. The service was speedy and attentive. The view looking out the bay was gorgeous with a huge sandy area and sunset view. We all started with a huge a plate of edamame that somehow was topped with everything bagel mix. My pasta penne was fabulous and full of big flavors from pesto, garlic, and roasted tomatoes. Everyone was happy enough with their sandwiches, and the fries were nice and not overdone like a lot of restaurants around here. read more

If you must go, I would recommend the view from the roof since that's the only plus. The food is just bad. I didn't even finish my crab cake since it was dry and flavorless. Fries weren't salted, bread was bland and crumbly. Really nothing special about this place at all. Boring chain restaurant. read more

If you haven't taken the time to visit Saltwater75 you are missing out. Great food and great ambiance for lunch.

First time visit on Tuesday May 27 2025. Looked at the menu with many of the appetizers had bell peppers in them. Cannot eat them causing me to have heavy heartburn. Order our drinks wad somewhat surprised they were a plastic cup. Ask if the bell peppers could be removed, they said they are chopped into the sauce. We order calamari, mussels and a seafood soup. The calamari was ok did not like the seasoning. The mussels outstanding. The soup tasted like a corn chowder with little pieces of carb meat. It was ok and would not recommend it. Order a fried flounder sandwich had no taste and the roll was dry and heavy. I will not recommend this place read more

Not quite sure where to begin here. But, I'll try to be brief. - nice location. If you can get a table on the bayside, it's pretty. - Waitress was pleasant and service was prompt. - my wife had a salmon salad and enjoyed it. One son had a short rib sandwich and enjoyed it. My other son and I had two different chicken sandwiches. I won't bore you with the details, but they were terrible. Both were as tough as shoe leather. The buns were dried out and appeared old. I ate 1/4 of my sandwich and called it a night. Recommendation: go for a drink or two and find another place for dinner. We will not go back to Saltwater 75. read more

It is a beautiful restaurant with great views and staff! Food was pretty good. We got the caprese, catfish, and crab cake. I've had better but overall it was a good dinner. Pretty expensive though and I wouldn't say it is totally worth the price. Orange crush was $$, not the best in OC but not the worst. Overall, it was a good experience with a great view! read more

The best thing that this place offers is the view from the rooftop. I was not impressed by the level of service as it was somewhat cold. We did not eat here and only had drinks which were ok - not the best orange crush. Prices are a bit on the high side. I will probably try it again ro compare my first experience. read more

Beautiful day at the beach had to be followed by a great dinner, so with Saltwalter75 being right across Coastal Highway, we had to check it out. We were sat immediately, so can't complain there. We got seats inside but right at the windows to the outside where you get gorgeous views of the Bay. Most of the people were sat outside, but it still being hot out, we got the best of both worlds with a bit of AC and the view. Server was great. Took our order and was always there if we needed another drink or anything. We all had Regatta Shrimp for an appetizer. Extremely good! For soup it was the Isle of Wight Seafood Bisque, which I highly recommend. Dinner was delicious as their Reda Cup Crab Cake dinner was just what I was looking for. Overall, this is a beautiful establishment and will be a place we return every year. read more

Stopped on a Saturday early evening. Got there at a good time and got seated right away. Asked to not be seated in the sun as we had been at the beach all day and needed a sun break. Was seated on the top deck area. We had been told there are awnings, but they were not open when we were seated. That was strike 1. They had a band playing that sounded good yet still had music playing in the speakers that was not the live band, steike 2. The view was pretty. Ordered the crabe cakes. Note that there is only one, but it was good. Menu lies..strike 3. All in all, I wouldn't come back. It's overpriced and overrated. read more

The restaurant feels very new on the inside and has a beautiful outdoor area for dining or to just walk out during sunset. I got fries, the chilled jumbo shrimp which were JUMBO and the crab soup. I will be getting that soup again. For sure will be added to the rotation for sunset restaurants. read more
