   Disappointed with my experience. Was the first couple seated (5pm) and over 30 min to have anyone ask for drink order. Actually had to ask staff for a waitress. Food was ok at best, which was a disappointment because of the restaurants’ reputation. Although it may have been due to it being a Valentine’s menu. Also was taken back at the gratuity automatically added to the bill. In my opinion, the service didn’t warrant it.

   We have been to red salt room before and we’re looking to a nice anniversary dinner. We were disappointed for the first time. Plastic on the tables? Really? I needed a menu to slide my glass of wine. No idea where the rag came from to wipe the table off. Tacky? Absolutely! We asked for a decanter for the wine but none could be found. Seriously? The oysters were excellent as was the lobster and short rib appetizer. The rack of lamb was really disappointing. The chops one of which was tough. The manager took off 20%. Definitely not worth $54. The crab cake was bland and tiny. At least the filet was good. I won’t be going back for awhile. $250 for an ok dinner. David Burke you can’t rely on your name you have to make sure your restaurant is top notch h sadly it isn’t. Maybe that’s why there were only 5 tables occupied. Sad.

   Very high level of food preparation from this kitchen. The menu is unique and varied with choices for all. The service is spot on with these servers anticipating all of your needs, a very professional operation. The Red Salt Room is a very special restaurant and hopefully will remain at the Garden City Hotel for years to come.

   This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of brunching at The Red Salt Room with friends, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. Located in Garden City, this charming spot offers a delightful ambiance perfect for a relaxed Sunday brunch. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere. The decor is traditional, with a touch of rustic charm. The soft background music and warm lighting created the perfect setting for a leisurely meal. The menu at Salt Room is a brunch lover's dream. We started at the omelet station, which was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. Our chef had a lovely personality and was very happy to host us. The eggs were cooked to perfection, accompanied by a rich and creamy hollandaise sauce that was simply divine. We moved onto the crepe station, where these were prepared meticulously and topped with fresh berries, bananas, and a drizzle of strawberry syrup—deliciously satisfying! There was plenty to choose from, with something for everyone—from lobster tail and oysters to the carving station, salad station, charcuterie selections, and a pasta and shrimp station, the possibilities were endless. Their drink selection was impressive, offering a variety of freshly squeezed juices, coffees, and brunch cocktails. The mimosa I ordered was perfectly balanced, and I enjoyed it immensely! The service at the Salt Room was top-notch. Our server, Moe, was attentive, friendly, and catered to our every whim. We never felt rushed and genuinely enjoyed the relaxed pace of our meal. This brunch was a delightful experience that I would highly recommend. Whether you're celebrating a special event with friends or looking to enjoy an exclusive meal with your special someone, this restaurant is sure to impress. We left feeling satisfied and eager to return for another visit.

   Went with friends for the Winter Long Island restaurant week. Amazing food, fantastic service, big portions, beautiful atmosphere, superb desserts. Wish I had discovered this hidden gem of Long Island sooner. Our dinner was truly outstanding and plentiful!

   David’s Red Salt Room is simply Spectacular! From the moment you walk in till the moment you leave. Our food was magnificent & So flavorful. We started out with the Tuna Tar Tar, & crab cakes, which were to die for. We also had the mushroom pate & Caesar salad which was amazing. We had David’s select bacon strips as well & they were so tasty & dynamic.. We had Their Surf & Turf & the lobster & Filet were both tender & Fresh. The lamb chops were wonderful & we also indulged in the mushroom risotto, Mac & cheese & the sautéed mushrooms. Our experience was amazing, & the food was simply superb & superior to anything we’ve ever eaten. Our Server Olivia is simply a hidden gem. She was concerning & kind. Her knowledge of customer service & customer satisfaction is unmatched. She knowingly went out of her way for my son who has autism. She is a wonderful asset to such a wonderful & striving fine dining establishment. The ambience was Classy, & the vibe was cozy, romantic & even sexy. They made my daughter’s birthday dinner very special & important. Thank you for the personalized card from the restaurant, it touched our hearts. I’ve been in the food service business for over 40 years, & I rate David’s place one of the best I’ve ever eaten in. The experience was marvelous & I can’t thank you all enough..We look forward to seeing you all soon again & we hope to maybe one day run into David there. Thank you, Rudy V & Family

   Was looking forward to dining here for my birthday. But, was disappointed with where they wanted to seat us and we were amongst the first diners for the evening. The food was good, but overly pricey for the quality. The service was extremely slow. For dessert we had to wait forever. Our coffee came cold and the Tiramisu came 10 minutes after the coffee. So, I have to factor in sub-par service for my overall rating.

    I always enjoy red salt. We go during restaurant week to take advantage of the price fixe menu. I did not like the new vinyl tablecloths. There is a section that drops down beneath the surface of the table, and it did not appear to be clean.
