    Salt & Barrell is a combination of great food and great service with an energetic vibe. Whether it's the host, the manager or the server, everyone who works there is super friendly, and very accommodating. The menu evolves, so going regularly doesn't create monotony. The drinks are phenomenal, and their whiskey menu (The Bible) is extensive. They could use a little improvement on the wine list (which is very small, with not a lot of good options), but you can easily get past this. Salt & Barrell is by far one of the best restaurants in Bay Shore, and worth a visit.

    Service was unusually bad and it was difficult to get ahold of our waiter. One of the chefs brought out one of our dinners before our drinks were served and before the other two guests’ dinner order was even taken. Once we did receive our food I had to wait until I saw our waiter to request utensils. We also were never informed that the fried oysters were not part of the $1 special on Thursdays, and the Thursday “advertisement” is purposefully misleading.

    We had a great meal at salt and barrel! No complaints. I accidentally knocked my drink off the table before even getting my first sip. Our waitress with not even exchanging words brought a new one over. 10/10 will be returning!!

    What s fantastic night! First: we were running late, I called and they changed our reservation no problem. Second: we asked to move tables TWICE and they moved us with smiles no problem. We ordered oysters to begin-wow were they delicious. Our craft cocktails were outstanding. We enjoyed our meal and lengthy conversation. After dinner we moved to the bar area to enjoy the band and more cocktails along side a beautiful crowd of friendly faces, the crowd was dressed trendy and fashionable. Loved the atmosphere and hospitality. A++ experience.

    We got cocktails from the bar prior to sitting which were delicious. We had the calamari/shrimp etc app which was great. I got the steak, which was delicious and my husband got the pork. The pork was not our favorite as it was a little tough/dry. We finished it off with a pumpkin cheesecake which was also very good. I also love that I can get a glass of Sancerre which you don’t often see.

    Eric at the bar was awesome! Great cocktails and always attentive, go hang with him, you won't regret it! We had planned on a table, but ended up staying at the bar for dinner. Shared a few dishes. Oysters were fresh and came with all the goodies, tuna tacos were awesome, kale and fruit salad was bright, fresh, and the hazelnuts...oh man! The crab gnocchi brought it all home! Highly, highly recommend!!
