   As locals, we eat here often - at least a few times a year. The dinners are classy, but pricey. The breakfast is a great value. There is a buffet that goes until 11AM, and a separate brunch menu that starts after 11. Our kids are partial to the buffet, and they definitely eat our money's worth. This morning was a great experience, as usual. The options range from standards like eggs, sausage, waffles, biscuits, bacon, grits, oatmeal, etc . . . I gravitate toward the smoked salmon which pairs well with the bagel selection. The kids load up on cereal and yogurt, but balance it out with bacon and breakfast potatoes. My kids insist on super-crispy bacon, and they regard the bacon at Salt as the best in the world. My youngest has asked to go to Salt for "brunch" as his birthday meal two years in a row now. The service is always great, and Carley took good care of us this morning. We did the buffet this morning, but my wife and I enjoy the brunch options also. The only gripe is that we can't let our kids do the buffet and select from the brunch menu ourselves. We have to time our visits depending on which options we want. For context, we've had 4 meals here in the last month (2 dinners, 2 breakfasts). Of all the options on Pensacola Beach, Salt deserves its place at the top of our rotation.

   The hostess greeted us with a big, genuine smile. We were seated right away and given our choice of table. Lori did a great job explaining the features of the menu. We were served quickly, but never rushed through a course. The food was great, and has been consistently good for over a year. (It was more unpredictable in the past.) Brandon took care of the kids with a chocolate milk, and the “Honey I’m Home” cocktail was just on the right side of being too sweet. The Moroccan chicken and ahi tuna were pricey, but well prepared and served in generous portions. The kids loved their burger and chicken tenders. Pensacola beach is a great place for a staycation, and Salt has become somewhat of a tradition for us now, as we find ourselves returning a few times every year.

   The food was sooo good! I recommend the lamb Lollipops and Sautéed Snow Crab Legs. We loved our server Christine, she was attentive and so nice!

   The food was okay. Service was kind of slow but that was due to the lack of server’s, not the server’s performance. Staff was friendly. Would happily return if invited, but would not return on my own accord.

   Exceptional customer service and amazing food/cocktails. Highly recommend and will definitely return. Lori is wonderful and seeks to assist in making Salt a favorite date night “special occasion” destination.

   Overpriced hotel restaurant. Not really Mediterranean. Underwhelming. A lot of tourist and takes away from the dinning experience. Service was subpar.

   The server Avery was great. The food was fine but the prices are a little high for what you get. Not sure we’d be going back anytime soon.

   I ordered the cowboy steak which is aged over 28 days. Asked for it as medium, received it rare. I’d say the creamed spinach tasted better. Not a whole lot of flavor to the steak. Wife ordered the catch of the day which was grouper. Instead of of the grouper falling apart as it should it when poked with a fork, it was stiff (overcooked). At checkout, wife mentioned the grouper to the waitress who explained she wouldn’t box it up then. This was a Valentine’s Day dinner, and the pink rose on the table was nice. Tried to get the feeling it wasn’t a dinner in a hotel except you can see customers rolling carts for luggage through the lobby when observed from inside of the restaurant. I got an industrial yet somewhat classy vibe from the decor, but the wooden sting rays on the wall suggested a Florida beach vibe. The waitress Alyssa was friendly and responsive throughout the dining experience.

    The steak was cooked well but very bland, would not go back unless it was for drinks!
