Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
SALT offers "impeccable service" with knowledgeable staff enhancing your dining experience. The menu stands out with unique offerings like salads and non-battered seafood in a city of fried foods. Breakfast is a "great value," and the ambiance, despite some noise, is generally "very nice." The charcuterie board is a "10 out of 10."

    We had impeccable service. Our server was attentive and very helpful with suggestions/questions. Her knowledge and experience was obvious with her very descriptive responses. Our food was very good. The ambiance was OK, it sounded like a cafeteria due to the open floor plan and open access to the hotel lobby. Loud roller carts going up/down the corridor adjacent to the booth seating was distracting. But, in a city full of similar fried food menus, Salt offers more variety with salads, non-battered seafood and veggies. Their menu was exactly what we needed.

    Happy with service. Food was ok, Ambience was lacking. Very aware you are sitting in the middle of a conference center.

    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.

    Thank you so much for being a part of the Salt family—we love hearing from our local guests, especially those who visit us throughout the year! We're thrilled your family enjoys both our breakfast buffet and brunch menu. We appreciate your honest note about the buffet and brunch timing, and we’ll definitely take that into consideration. We look forward to serving you again soon—maybe for that next birthday brunch! -Christina H.

    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.

We're so glad to hear your experience was welcoming from start to finish, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with Lori, Brandon, and the rest of the team. We love knowing Salt has become part of your Pensacola Beach tradition, and we can’t wait to welcome you back on your next staycation! -Christina H.

    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.

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