Food and service were great! Our waitress was super helpful. I thought the food was a little overpriced for what we were getting, but the drinks were great. read more

The drinks were good but the service was very slow and the food was overpriced and not great. Got the lobster roll that was $50 and it was not worth the money as it had a lot of filler. Good ambiance for drinks and listening to music but wouldn't recommend for dinner. read more

While staying in West Hampton for a family wedding, the night after an intimate group of 20 of us had an amazing meal together at Salt & Loft. The ambiance of the restaurant was so cozy and relaxing especially how the whole front of the place open up for bringing the indoor bar experience feel like being out side. Our table service by Natalia was amazing. She is a beautiful polite and well attentive Ukrainian young woman which her personality alone added to our dining experience. Such a sweet girl, I was even willing to adopt her. From the soups and salads to the awesome entree's, we all enjoyed everything as we know we put your kitchen staff into high gear to keep up with our little crowd... Julia our bar tender was awesome as well, putting up with multiple drink orders and service with a beautiful smile as people walking by stopped in to join in our fun. All in all, I have to say Barry, you have a gem of a restaurant with a great staff that made our entire experience well worth it for us to come back again when we are in town! read more

Wow! First time here and we were SO pleased! Food was great, came out fast with extra friendly service- we had the burrata, burger and the mahi tacos! And the kids chicken fingers tasted very homemade! Great fries and pickles too ;) chef even gave us a little sweet potato purée for our 8 month old who was delighted. Thanks for accommodating our little family on a busy night! Back patio was spacious and casual with nice lighting. Will come again! read more

Great dining space that was wide open to the street on a cool summer day - enjoyed the wine selection - Caesar salad and baked clams - although they were a little doughy and could've had a little more flavor - burger and fries were great and other entrees that floated by looked tasty too! read more

We went there for dinner for a party of 6 during Memorial Day weekend with our friends from DC (and their 2 young children). The service was absolutely horrible (yes, its the start of summer, and a lot of new seasonal staff.....but this is Hamptons, so step it up). Next, food quality was also horrible and they just kept saying the kitchen is backed up (thats poor planning on their end - its a holiday weekend), and we had to wait 30-45 min, even with kids - the mom had to request 3-5x to our waiter to bring their food first. Basically, only the ambiance worked in their favor, but thats it. Also, there was another entire table of teenagers dining (the adults probably sat somewhere else), but they were so rude when I was getting out of the bathroom and a few of them rushed in without waiting for me to get out. This place is like a beautiful woman, but lacks any substance. read more

When I walked in I was greeted by amazing hostesses they were so friendly and welcoming. The service was amazing loved the waitresses and don't even get me started on the delicious food. The flatbreads and pasta is amazing. The ambiance is very chill and welcoming! read more

Food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend if in the area. The service was very good and the vibes were very good as well. Will be back soon! read more

Food and place is good, a bit pricey, still ok. The thing that really annoys me is that all the servers are very young women dressed as if they are to the beach and not at work. Same each year. On top of which the owner is well over 55 and wears pants and a polo. Wondering what is asked or said at the interview. Just sad that this is going on 2023... read more

Yelson the bartender is an absolute gem. He was being super helpful the entire night even stepping out from behind the bar to come over to my wife and I's table to make sure we were good on drinks. That dude alone is a reason to head to this spot. Food was great, as well as the service. Would highly recommend to any locals/anyone in town for the weekend. Great spot. read more

Only had Cesar salad with grilled shrimp- but even by salad u can tell It was fresh, properly " dresses" Its very nice inside design & wide opened wall/ doors - service was good too ( in this days - we all have to understand- the difficulties of getting right people, enough stuff , training...)- so glad they managing it good too read more

It was my first time at Salt and Loft and I absolutely loved it. Our server was sweet and attentive, and was very accommodating with the order for my child. Both my husband and son said the food was delicious, and usually it's a problem to get my son to eat anything. I had an Aperol Spritz and a lobster roll, my husband had a steak and my son had pasta with veggies. Excellent service and a pleasant atmosphere 10/10 would recommend! read more

We were looking for a new place for dinner and found Salt & Loft on Main St., Westhampton Beach. The inside was clean and neat and the decor was nice. My wife order the special. Poke and I had the pastrami sandwich and we shared the smoked salmon appetizer. Everything was excellent and the service was excellent. We'll definitely be back to the Salt & Loft with friends. read more

For starters I had the corn and shrimp appetizer. It was amazing. The corn was tossed with feta, a light olive oil and a light touch on the sides of the plate of pesto. The corn was grilled and placed beautifully with a touch of micro greens for decor amd color on top. Amazing job by the chef. I wanted to eat light, so my next course was the Waldorf salad. I had to omit the walnuts and celery due to dietary conditions, but added extra cucumbers. The dressing was spectacular. The arugula was to fresh it melted into the dressing and my mouth. I would highly recommend trying sat and loft. The interior design is also relaxing amd clean and fresh read more

If you're lucky to be reading this before you step foot in this poor excuse for a restaurant, DO NOT WASTE your money or time here. This place actually deserves zero stars but Yelp doesn't allow that. I was with two friends and we were visiting for the day from the city. We each wasted $72 on slop served on plastic ware. The server gave some odd explanation about there being a sewage issue from months ago. Paying Hampton prices for garbage served on plastic plates? Nope. We got the calamari and hummus platter to start. The calamari was meh. Very greasy. The hummus plate came with homemade chips. The chips were stale and greasy. We ate two and stopped because it was so foul. We should have canceled our entrees right then knowing that the prelude was inedible. Too late. Entrees served. Salmon, roasted chicken and lobster Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was cooked in a microwave with frozen lobster likely. I told the server it was cold so she apologized and brought it back five minutes later steaming from the microwave. Heating plastic in the microwave emits cancer producing chemicals. I didn't touch the slop on my plastic plate again. I should have spilled it onto the table because then the staff would actually have earned the money from our bill during clean up. My friend's salmon was cold and equally repugnant. My other friend had the chicken. It was decent. He actually took a few bites and brought the rest home. The staff was inattentive and ignored our request to put the music back on. They were too busy doing something in the bathroom together to pay attention to their patrons. My one friend and I work in the service industry in NYC. She wouldn't let me tell the server to take all the slop that we barely touched off the bill. If I notice that my patrons haven't touched their food, I inquire about it and then have the manager remove it from the bill as a common courtesy. Of course our server didn't do that because the entire place is a joke of a restaurant. They should rename it "Rub Salt in the Wound." read more

Great drinks. Love the vibe. Perfect place to hangout. Bartenders were awesome. Would recommend

Wonderful experience, great service Lively, friendly crowd Good food, try the burger read more

Fyre Fest comes to Westhampton. Don't waste your time, unless you have nothing else to do and want to pay Hampton prices for [insert the worst restaurant you've ever been to] quality food and service. The service was horrendous, (1.5 hours after asking 3Xs and it only came after we said we were walking), but alas it matched the food, which in the restaurant business isn't what you should strive for. I had to give it one star because you can't give anything less and there aren't other icon options. We should have read the reviews before we went and we would have saved ourselves $350+ on awful food and service. On the plus side the Peroni was served cold, but it wasn't enough (or I didn't have enough) to erase the memories of this horrible experience. Enjoy the food photos (note the burger was $18) skip this place even if there are lines at all the other places on Main Street you'll come to realize there's a reason people avoid this place and the tables are empty. read more

Didn't have rectangular tables. Otherwise I'm sure it's fine. People seemed to be enjoying themselves at their circular tables.

Went here Sunday afternoon. Ordered bloody Mary's and they didn't know the difference between cherries and olives ‍ When our food came out ketchup was spilled on the floor and splattered on my brother and on my aunts hand bag and jacket. Then when the food was placed Our table the ketchup spilled all over the table. The waitress dropped it twice. We were not offered any compensation or apology. Service was not good. Not sure if I'll be back! read more

I just came here for drinks and dinner. Was absolutely amazing. The steak was to die for. I will definitely be coming back!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!! Where do I begin: 1) we make a reservation for 8 people at 8pm and it takes them 30 minutes to seat us. Right as we are seated, someone comes up to the line of people also waiting to be seated and say that the owner has overbooked the restaurant and that they are too slammed to seat anyone else. 2) we ordered drinks appetizers and entrees. Our waiter, Ben, was a gem and worked very hard to get us our drinks as fast as he could and our food when it was ready. however, they have a kitchen staff of 2 and it took 2 hours to get our food. We got appetizers at 10:20pm which were gross and served cold. The Brussels sprouts were coated in sugar and uncooked. The calamari was not fresh. The lobster Mac and cheese was inedible and we found plastic in it. 3) when trying to understand why it was taking so long to get our food, other waitresses (not our lovely waiter Ben) would roll their eyes at us. The owner is a creep and only hires underage girls who have no idea what they're doing. We asked him what the hold up was and he had no idea what was going on. He gave us free shots to "make up" for the terrible experience and then he ended up charging us for them!! It took us 30 more minutes to fix the bill and not get charged for food/drink that we didn't receive!! 4) THE CREEPY OWNER DID NOT WEAR A MASK AT ANY POINT IN THE NIGHT. NOT GOOD AT ALL. The only positive experience of the night was the live music and the service from our waiter Ben who was working really hard, as was the food runner. Those two took over the work that every other staff member failed to do. read more

Absolutely amazing food and drinks. The owner will treat you like family and the staff is so wonderful. Was extremely happy with my service and will be returning very soon!! read more

3rd time is NOT A charm. Wait staff is pleasant and Pretty. It's clear the owner or manager loves to surround himself with young pretty girls. There is no love in either the food or the drinks. Which explains why you can procure yourself a table at any time that they are open. Ordered what they call is Fresh caught Montauk Fluke. It was not fluke it was Tilapia and over cooked. My husband is a fisherman and a chef. It's clear the owners do not care about quality. Decor is nice. But tables are filthy. If you are a foodie? Don't bother, you will be terribly disappointed. If you just care about people watching and eye candy? Then this is the place for you. Calling it pedestrian would be a compliment I wouldn't even give them that. I'd say nice try. But they don't even care. I'm surprised this place has lasted as long as it has. Will not be returning. Oh and if in case Mark W. "The business manager" replies... save it. I've seen your responses to the bad reviews from 2 yrs ago. And clearly nothing has changed. You seem really good at talking up some BS rather than REALLY listening to the people. I'll almost bet those good reviews came from friends of yours? There was only one other man working that place aside from creepy Uncle Lester. And it was the bartender. At least no other visible men. It's a shame. It's a great spot. But you people clearly do NOT know how to run a business. Who ever that manager is? Does NOTHING to make anything right. You have had more than enough time to fix all of the things stated in the bad reviews. And it's still as bad as people claimed since the year you opened. 1 star is even too much for this place. read more

Mid winter family get together. We have eaten at salt and loft several times during the summer. Our family was together in January for a winter meet up in the Hamptons and decided to have dinner and drinks at the restaurant.. As always the food was perfect, drink menu interesting and staff was fine. The restaurant always tries to make their customers feel at home and are willing to customize dishes as requested. We always feel welcome and at home here read more

Last night was the final straw with this place. I witnessed no less than 3 staff arguments. The owner " Barry " was clearly intoxicated and was ogling his whole underage wait staff the whole time I was there. The crescendo was the obviously intoxicated bar girl. " emily" verbally attacking one of her co workers. The bathroom is gross. Food below average and drinks waaaaay overpriced for what they were. This place is a complete shit show of privileged wannabes It's such a great location and should be great. Such a shame. Bad job Barry. #BJB read more

Food is subpar & incredibly overpriced. The atmosphere might be the best in town, but the food quality does not match. We wanted to like this place, but we left very disappointed. Would not recommend. read more

Never one of those people to write a review on yelp, but i had to. Coming from a waitress and someone who works in a restaurant, this is a horrible restaurant. Half of the drinks were watered down, the other half were just straight up vodka, took a while to get our entree orders in and to get new drinks, since the waitress didn't check on us in the beginning to make sure everything was fine. I got the seafood pasta, came with one spoon full of fettuccine pasta. Don't waste ur time. read more

Salt & Loft - Seafood Pasta - this was it before i started eating i separated it to see how much pasta there was, and there wasn't much - Bars Near Me - Westhampton Beach, New York

I had heard mixed reviews about this restaurant. We decided to give it a try. Although it is a cool setting with indoor and outdoor seating the service was horrible and and no one came over to us for an hour. The food was only fair. The tables next to us were all complaining as well . I would not recommend it. read more

My friend and I found the food and staff to be excellent. The food came out fairly quickly considering it was freshly prepared. As we looked around at other tables, we got food envy seeing all the other dishes we could have chose to eat. We both had wine, red & white. Both were very fresh bottles as I'm a wine snob. So thanks to their fresh bottles of wine. The decor has been recently updated. It was sleek and white and bright contrast by the wooden floor. Above all, what a fun, engaging staff. It was nice to sit and talk with the staff and they enjoyed our banter. Barry, the owner, was super friendly and welcomed us and thanked us genuinely for spending our time there. read more

Salt & Loft is the quintessential Hamptons experience! Situated on a beautiful Westhampton corner this chic and trendy restaurant serves sumptuous food in a stunning environment. I particularly enjoyed the scrumptious scallops. The service and servers on more than 10 occasions welcomed me with friends and family to enjoy great evenings in a perfect ambience.This season I have already been take out dining and can't wait to enjoy Salt & Loft outdoors . If you are heading to the Hamptons Salt & Loft is a must do ! Stephanie read more

If giving ZERO starts was an options that's what this place would be getting. I didn't take the bad recommendation other gave us until I tried it myself but that was a lesson learned. The service is down right awful. Absolutely horrendous. The bar tender wasn't bothered to ask if we wanted anything even with an empty bar so we made a point to inform her that we wanted to order drinks she took our order and we stepped to the table next to the bar to sit down and wait for the drinks, after 20 minutes I went to check what's taking so long in an empty place and the bartender set had the audacity to ask "o you still want them?" If I ordered it and I'm waiting why wouldn't I want it but go figure what she was thinking. The owner of the place was around doing nothing to manage his staff. Every table had dishes and glasses and food on them and no one bothered to clean anything we had to move the glasses ourselves the sit at a table. DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU'RE A TEENAGER BECAUSE THATS ALL YOU SEE HERE! read more

I should of looked at reviews before dining here. Went last night for the first and only time. We arrived around 5:30 and sat outside. We ordered mussels as an appetizer which was bland and siting in some warm water. I ordered the chicken sandwich ( not great )and asked the waitress if I could substitute the salad for something else at which point she said I could have French fries. My wife ordered the scallops which came out ice cold No one ever came out to ask how the food was. Finally I went to the bar to ask for my check and noticed they charged me for the fries. I mentioned something to I believe the manager telling him that the waitress said I could substitute the fries for the salad. His immediate response was "we don't give away free French fries" You decide whether to eat there!! read more

reviews are right on target except we had great service. The ambience is nice, but the food snd specialty drink is not good Will not b coming back Recommendation:put a self closing device on the bathroom door so I don't have to look into the bathroom while eating !!! read more

The location is perfect and the restaurant beautiful. Unfortunately the food and service don't match the decor. Staff is strange and was slurring their words. The Mezze platter was salami so thick you couldn't chew it and the hummus was sabra. Three corners of pita for two people...? The $21 burgers were clearly frozen and avocado dumped underneath...you're having people pay extra and not show them? On top of that for burgers and apps we waited 90 minutes and the fries that tasted like fish. We weren't able to eat our dinners it was so bad. When they offered to comp us our drinks, they reneged on the drinks we ordered and charged us. I hope that this was an off night for the folks there and this wasn't the rule. Loft and Salt, I want to love you. But you're breaking my heart. read more

Very disappointed. We were lured in by the ambiance but waited over 30 minutes to even have a waitress come by (even after asking the hostess twice). After ordering it took 50 minutes to get our entrees. We had to get silverware from the bartender so we could eat our meals. Some waitresses actually worked but the majority mill around aimlessly chatting. If you must, only go for drinks at the bar. read more

Without calling anyone out, I completely disagree with any review that stresses the need for a "family friendly" place in the area and a more low key venue. There are already MANY locations that fit such description. This place is EXACTLY what WHB needs. It's not a "bar scene- neon Bud Light sign in the window" vibe nor does it have that feel. It's away from the many family friendly ice cream shops, bagels stores, bakeries, and retail shops. It's at the corner, at the end of the block - removed from these locations - thereby maintaining the WHB "feel." I see nothing wrong with a hip, rustic looking "Williamsburg" lounge in the heart of this quaint town. It's what's needed to help attract a younger crowd and create a different type of feel. Don't be afraid of a little change. This needed crowd will only help financially support the community and grow it. The clean and modern feel will attract a crowd that would be a great WHB addition. Additionally, the light staff is due to comments and negative feedback that prevent this place from properly growing and attracting the encouraging attention it needs. More positivity will lend itself to more traffic which will lead to financial means capable of paying more employees. As a 12 year WHB resident, I look forward to this place sticking around for a long time. read more

Went to lunch today. After waiting 35 minutes, went to see manager, who couldn't care less. The staff is all high school and know nothing about the profession. Upon getting the bill there was a 3% surcharge for using a credit card. It would have been nice if we were notified before hand. We were not. I wouldn't go back to this restaurant if it was free. read more

I would say more but the review that Alex H. Gave below was spot on. Manage your staff! I watched 2 people sit and wait for over 15 minutes with no waters or a greeting even. But there were about 8 young girls just sitting at the bar paying zero attention to us or the other diners. Horrible. read more

I heard REALLY BAD THINGS about this place ...do NOT SUPPORT this restaurant/Owner! I have eaten there a few times last year..the location is Nice..the food isn't good ..the staff is inexperienced but that's not why I said to Stay Away from this place ..my daughters and I went a few times last year (2020 summer) ..and the owner is just downright weird ... read more
