We had a largely positive dinner at Seasalt on April 27. Reservations went smoothly and the restaurant was not crowded on a Monday evening. We settled into our table and were welcomed by Shannon, our server. (There was a little confusion about this, but it straightened out.) The restaurant is bright and separated from the well-stocked bar. I had a Sagamore rye neat, and B ordered a glass of the Rioja. If there are oysters on the menu, you know I'll order them. There was a pretty good selection, and I opted for a half dozen Rappahanock oysters. They were excellent, sweet and briny. We each ordered a Caesar salad, but Shannon advised us that it was large enough to be shareable. More than enough. B ordered the pasta with clams, and I choose the Seafood chowder. The chowder was delicious, but B found the pasta to be too peppery for her tastes. Worse, three of the clams were unopened. We brought this to Shannon's attention, and she offered to put in a new order, but B demured, as she was full. At this point, Owner John Hogan came over to the table to chat. He told us the clams would be taken off the bill, and gave us a gift card, hoping we'd return. He stayed at our table for nearly 30 minutes, and we had a wonderfully engaging conversation with him. We will definitely be going back. read more

Best restaurant I have been to in several years. Has a big city vibe, warm ambiance, fantastic food and the staff is amazing. We try to go as often as we can. read more

Food. Good. But only worth it if you are sharing plates. On an expense account. Our a special night. If you are looking to spend $50 on six scallops or $70 on a NY Strip, there are better and cheaper options in Eastport Service. Great. Ambiance. Ungodly loud on a busy night. We were seated at a small two top and needed to shout Unfortunately this is typical of many Annapolis restaurants. Overpriced for a mediocre experience. read more

We were immediately greeted by the owner who made us feel welcomed. The restaurant is beautiful and open. Loved the outdoor seating and it was a beautiful night. We told them we were celebrating our anniversary and the service by Katie was wonderful. We started with a specialty cocktail and the salmon apps. We got in before HH ended by 2 mins and the owner made sure that happened. The bartender was also welcoming and friendly giving us the down low on drinks and apps. Dinner was shrimp with a cabbage slaw and the seafood chowder. Had to get the daily bread infused with thyme. Then Katie brought us a small ice cream (we told her no dessert since we were full) with a signed menu by the staff. Would definitely return to try more of the dishes! read more

This place is located in Park Place off of West St. Next to the Westin Hotel. They have indoor, outdoor and bar seating. We had a table in the middle. It's a little loud due to the open concept but a nice setup. Our only appetizer was the Salty Bread and Butter, it's a must order. For dinner I got the Parisienne Gnocchi, it's not something I would normally order but wow it was good. A very light dish. My wife got the Clam Pasta, another very good dish. We ordered more of the Salted Bread to soak up the broth. We passed on dessert, maybe next time. Service was great, knowledgeable and friendly staff. read more

Love the outside seating area of this place! Service was great too. The gnocchi was delicious.. HIGHLY recommend. Add shrimp in it if you want protein... even better! The market fish was great - swordfish. I didn't think the cauliflower was worth it but the tuna tartare definitely was!! We enjoyed our dinner. read more

We are here for lunch, apparently 1st time they open for lunch. The food is excellent ( we had mussels, Ahi tuna sandwich, seafood pasta, orange sorbet and affogato) the service welcoming, discreet and fast. I liked the ambiance, nice music-not too loud. The decor, mix of wood and antique metallic spacer is light and welcoming. A nice lunch, thank you. read more

Seasalt is a great addition to the Annapolis dining scene. A dining scene that I personally have felt is been in decline for a while. It's sits in a fun part of Annapolis that is easy to get to, park, dine and then get on the road. Not the usually parking hassle like you have on main street. The restaraunt itself gorgeous inside, large glass windows let some light in, very open, your not eating on top of someone like other restaurants. I do have to tell you it does have some weird oyster bar in the corner that doesn't match the vibe or decor of the rest of the restaurant which I found very odd. It is also quite loud with the music which takes away from the whole feel... Service is damm near perfect, the staff is some of the nicest people you will meet. They really elevated the whole experience. They are beyond helpful and will take the time to answer all your questions to your satisfaction. They have an extremely strong cocktail program. I would say easily the best in the city. The food is the star (for the most part). The oyster selection is great, and super fresh. The hamachi crisp and tuna tartare are a must order!! The seafood chowder wasn't for me. The bartender explain the use a cauliflower brother verse a seafood broth. Gives it a real earthy taste. Not bad, just not for me. All in all a good experience. I will be back, hopefully the music is turned down. read more

I came here while visiting Annapolis and had a 5:30pm reservation on a Wednesday. I was seated right away, which was nice My server, Chelsea, was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. For appetizers, I tried the salty bread (so good!) and the marinated octopus, which had a great mix of flavors. My main dish was the Ora King Salmon which was perfectly cooked and wonderfully seasoned.. For dessert, I ordered the apple crisp and it was absolutely delicious. The ambiance is modern, stylish, and spacious with great decor. Portions were just right, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. I did not drive so I can't comment on parking. They do take reservations, which is always a plus. One of the owners, John, personally came by my table to check in. His friendly and personable, which added a welcoming touch to the entire experience. Overall, everything was excellent -- I'll be back for sure on my next trip to Annapolis! read more

We went for Valentine's Day and loved every minute. They offered complimentary entry bites, an amuse-bouche and chocolates. We had the warm bread served with cumin butter which was very unique and delicious as well as the ceviche to start. The drinks were delicious too! For mains, the scallops and seafood pasta were great. We will definitely be back. read more

A tad expensive but it's Annapolis so it's to be expected. The inside is very beautiful and feels like an upscale restaurant. We sat at the bar the staff were very friendly. The bartender made me a delicious old fashioned which I love. We had mussels and the bread and butter it was all delicious. We will definitely come back on a date when we're more comfortable spending the money on what a full meal and drinks would cost. Maybe a special occasion but they do have happy hour. read more

Amazing evening at Seasalt! Beautifully decorated, thoughtful design touches. Food was a visual treat, and tasted clean, fresh, and delicious. We will be back, the Affogato is calling my name! The dining room is spacious enough to hold parties of various sizes and the patio looks like a perfect spot to dine outside, it was raining on our visit. Service was top-notch. It is a little expensive but worth it. Heavy on seafood options, look over the menu first if you have picky eaters in your group. We had the special -black bass, the salmon, and the scallops. Don't skip dessert!! Our server Josh was informative and attentive. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience! read more

We just sat at the bar at a high top and had a sensational round of 4 different types of oysters. The house made butter bread is a must. Also had their deep fried soft shell crab... wonderful. Some of the most creative and sensational cocktails I have ever seen. Great service. Grear vibe all around! read more

Seasalt is a class act, and one of the best restaurants I've visited over the past year. My server Chelsea quickly felt like an old friend, as she steered me toward the house made salty bread with butter compounded daily. Chelsea explained the wine menu changes constantly, as the staff keep trying different options from their wholesalers. The gruner veltliner I tried will probably be replaced by some other delight next month. I appreciated that Chelsea put my oyster order into the system so that the oysters would be served in geographic order; a little metal fork delineated where the next oyster variety started. Nice touch. I also tried the tuna belly ceviche and the Parisienne gnocchi, which was tossed with brown butter, kale, a variety of mushrooms, and piles of fresh-grated Parmesan. Hells yeah. Next time I'll try one of the desserts, I just didn't have room last night. Smart menu, enthusiastic and knowledgeable servers, and a management team that pays attention to the little things. The staff, from back to front, is very strong. Only one year in, this new gem has my attention. read more

We went to Seasalt after dinner in Annapolis! The vibe was really relaxed and cute. It definitely had a lot of photo-ops! The service was so accommodating and friendly. The chef came over to speak to us which was nice. We didn't really eat much since we just went for drinks, but we did have oysters which were delicious. I would go again for dinner! read more

I'm looking forward to exploring more of Seasalt's menu. I originally stopped in just for a drink, but the menu, energy, and ambiance immediately drew me in. Huge shoutout to my server and to the bartender, Jeff. His energy and vibe were as bright as his colorful tattoos. He made the best tequila lemon drop I've ever had and encouraged me to try something from the menu. The Seasalt Caesar salad was delicious, and the bread and butter were absolutely divine. Next month, I plan to come back and try Jeff's recommendation: the shrimp peri peri. Definitely worth a visit! read more

This was my second visit to Seasalt. My first experience was just okay, and I might not have gone back if family and friends hadn't encouraged me to give it another try--so glad I didn't write them off! My second visit was absolutely awesome. I went on Monday Lobster Night and ordered the lobster, salty bread, and the shrimp dinner. The lobster was grilled to perfection, paired with melted butter and an amazing sauce. The shrimp dish was excellent as well. We were seated with a view of the kitchen, which was such a joy to watch--great energy and attention to detail. I also loved the décor and overall atmosphere. Even the margarita was spot-on. Seasalt definitely redeemed itself, and I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

OMG, This place was amazing. My husband and I are locals and didn't expect this restaurant to have such a lovely interior. It has a nice upscale yet casual vibe. The food was fantastic. I started with the local oysters, which were plump and tasted as if they had just been harvested from the sea that day. I then had the scallops, while my husband chose the shrimp. Both dishes were incredible! I especially loved the corn relish that accompanied the scallops; it had the sweetness of summer corn and paired perfectly. My husband enjoyed the cabbage with his shrimp. We do have one suggestion for the kitchen regarding the peach salad. When using fresh peaches, there's no need to grill them; they turned out mushy and didn't enhance the salad. It would have been better to have fresh local peaches alongside the greens, feta cheese, and a balsamic dark berry vinaigrette. Other than that, everything was great, and this restaurant will definitely be added to our rotation. It's a wonderful addition to the Annapolis food scene! read more

Sea salt has amazing service and amazing food!!! Beautiful ambiance inside and out.

It was my first visit to this brand-new establishment, and what an incredible experience it was! If you're ever craving fresh fish, shellfish, and a perfectly cooked and seasoned ribeye, this is the place for you!

Had a great dinner the service was excellent and the food was delicious. Great menu offering fresh seafood, definitely recommend.

Amazing!!! My second review. I can't help it - the place just gets better and better! Tonight the Parisienne Gnocchi! Gnocchi - hard to get excited, right? But the flavors in the this dish should be illegal! The tender gnocchi is one thing, but those bite size pieces of asparagus, and cute slender penis-shaped mushrooms are enough to convert the most ardent hetero sexual! True that, my gastronomic groupies! And finally--those perfectly ripe cherry tomatoes that tie it all together like a culinary symphony. #Mozart read more

I've been dying to try this place since they first opened. I finally got a chance tonight. Front of the house staff were very personable. We had a 7:15 reservation and they were running behind. The manager (owner?) Colin came out and personally explained the delay and offered to seat us in the bar area at a high top. I normally would have declined, but I was starved and took a chance. Definitely glad I did. Bertie was our server. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and was able to offer suggestions and answered any questions we had. He was very attentive throughout, but not annoyingly so. We ordered two starters, marinated octopus and oysters guanciale...both were absolutely delicious! We were off to a great start. For our mains I got the ribeye medium rare. Came out the perfect temperature! Flavor wise, just ok. It was paired with potatoes and a few root vegetables. It also had a chimichurri on the side. Not a fan. It was on the sweet side. I definitely prefer a more savory sauce. It wasn't bad, but I probably will go a different route next time. In all fairness I did order a steak at a place that's very heavy on the seafood. I got an extra side of the pan roasted mushrooms...total chef kiss! I could legit eat that every single day. He got the shrimp. It was made with savoy cabbage, fennel, Meyer lemon and Pernod. Not a fan. Not so sure that shrimp and cabbage are the best combo, at least not for us. The only real criticism, is that this place is exceptionally loud. Like a bar type loud. I'm guessing it's just the acoustics of the dining area coupled with a very busy Saturday night. Not sure what can be done about it, but don't come here expecting to have an intimate conversation over dinner. All in all I really enjoyed Seasalt and will absolutely be back. read more

Staying at the Westin in Annapolis for business. The restaurant is right across the street from the hotel. Walked in for a late night meal on a Thursday and was glad I did. The place was bubbling with live music and lots of people. There were so many good things on the menu. I ordered the oysters and the gnocchi with pan fried mushrooms based on chef recommendation- they were amazing. I wanted try other things on the menu which means I will be back again many more times. read more

My wife ordered the scallops. They were expertly prepared and the freshness of the meal stood out. Very tasty but not overwhelmed with competing flavors. Fancy but unpretentious. My fried rainbow trout was delicious. It paired very nicely with the greens and the sauce. The deserts were fresh, unique, and not overly sweet. A great end to the meal. The restaurant had a lively, happy vibe. The service was timely and the staff attentive and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

11/27/2024 was our second evening at Sea Salt. My wife was up to visit her parents the week before and choose Sea Salt Vs Carpaccio. Her father and brother are Acadamy graduates and locals. Her first meal was Gnocchi and she was thrilled with the dish. I drove up from Chevy Chase 11/27/2024 to meet her at Sea Salt but was running late, I had her order appetizers and dinner, I'd meet at Sea Salt for a beer before going to officer's club. Well on my drive from home DC to Annapolis my wife called to give me the heads up that Sea Salt only carries craft beers, well I live in a snob area. I'm so over the let's be cool and only serve craft beers and putting out the excuse that were supporting local and small business....BS You won't tarnish your epic image by having one of any of the following beers Casa Modelo, Becks, Fosters, Red stripe. Give the other 70 % of the world a break from the craft pushers. I'll never step foot inside with your current beer menu. Back to the food from 11/27 when I showed up my wife wouldn't eat at Sea Salt her appetizers were horrendous, She ordered stone crab and it had many flaws. We eat at Joes Crab on 15th st in DC once a month, pretty in tune to Stone crab. They were not cracked well, and I've never in a day been served cocktail sauce with Stone crab. That's hilarious and were is the chef on this one!!! Maybe Dijion and mayo like the rest of the world. She ordered the Caesar salad, the croutons were chewy and soggy. As you can see in the picture it was terribly bland, and so dry. She said the bar scene area rolled over the dining individuals. I picked her up and we fortunately got dinner at Lownes' Steakhouse and a regular beer. I understand that Sea Salt is a new Establishment, hopefully they focus a bit more. Don't see consistency at this juncture. 3. read more

Went here with my wife this past Friday night for the first time. The food, service and atmosphere were 10/10. Oysters were all fantastic, and the spicy tuna tartare was the best we've ever had - anywhere. Salmon and NY Strip were cooked perfectly and this is one of the only spots with potato pave in this area, which was awesome. It's a little pricier than most places but you get what you pay for; I'd gladly spend more knowing I'm getting some of the best food in Annapolis. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone and will be back soon for sure! read more
