I typically don't like when they have a smoky taste to them, but these wings were fried with a great layer of sauce and just a hint of grill smoke on them. I thought they were Terrific.

A Bluetooth radio is on board & the motor is quiet enough to hear the music & have conversations. After about 40 minutes we anchored in the low part of the bay near other boats where the captain said we could hop in he water. The depth at that point was only about waist high. Floatation tubes & noodles are also provided on the boat. We hung out there for about another 40 minutes & then it was anchors up. On the return back to the dock we were already planning our next trip on the floating hut with a larger party @ the end of September. The captain said they run till October. They have 2 boats so you can have a larger group split up amongst both of them.

This is a great example of something they would have sold for $9 five years ago....now it's $18...and I think a Mcdonlads hash brown might be bigger.

All the food we happened to get had clearly been sitting out waiting for a sever for 5-10 minutes. 1.5 hours later we left. Never got a proper entree...and I got a slice of pizza in the way home.

We started with oysters..fresh, briny, and perfectly chilled and the tuna tartare stacked over creamy avocado with crisp taro chips, which was a standout. My lobster pasta was rich and flavorful, though the noodles were a bit more al dente than I usually prefer. My date went for the short rib, which was melt-in-your-mouth tender over a smooth carrot purée. Everything was beautifully presented and clearly made with care. It's definitely on the pricier side, but the quality, service, and overall experience make it worth it. Service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the whole atmosphere felt relaxed yet refined. Whether you're staying at the hotel or just in the area, Salt is a great pick for a nice night out on LBI especially if you want elevated seafood and a setting that feels special.

We loved the vegan Beyond Burger, the crispy fish sammy, and the refreshing LBI Punch. Plus, shoutout to our awesome server, Colin, who made the whole experience even better!

This, for sure, has to be the single best meal we have ever had on Long Beach Island. When we…read morearrived, we were seated promptly and were given a large table to accommodate our party of seven. Ben came straight over and introduced himself and told us some of the specials and allowed some time to peruse the menu. We knew that we had to get the children their food first for us to enjoy our meals and we ordered pasta and flounder for the girls and a cheeseburger and fries for the little boy. It's hard to imagine that a restaurant can be very classy while being at the beach and a very casual atmosphere but people were mixed in their dress with those of us who were more casual, but somewhat dressy and others who got dressed to the nines to enjoy their meal out with friends or family. We decided on the advice of Ben to get some duck confit and also some tang tang shrimp and also Nice chopped salad which was fresh and crisp and also some tacos and then we were off to the races with our entrées. We all decided to choose something different and give a little bite to each of the members of our adult party. While I had seared sea scallops my buddy had salmon. My wife chose a salad with some grilled shrimp And my buddies wife decided to have a plate of muscles that she enjoyed immensely. The staff was fantastic in that they took away dirty plates and replaced them with new ones and made sure that the kids had everything that they needed for us to enjoy a quiet and adult conversational meal. Compared to Long Island, NY the prices were really very fair and the quality of the food was very very good. My scallops were excellent and the other plates that I tried all were cooked perfectly. I want to give a special shout out to Ben, our server, for being very friendly and his demeanor while explaining the menu and offering suggestions. I really do look forward to our next trip back
