SO YUMMY! Food was definitely 11/10. I got the ahi tuna which was definitely perfection (will be dreaming about this dish for a while) hehe so worth every $, the potatoes and cucumber/tomato/onion salad were also sooo good as well. The lavender lemonade was recommended to us by waiter, it was really pretty and refreshing especially on a hot day! My friends all enjoyed their dishes, everything looked amazing and we finished it all because we were starving lol. Our waiter was super nice and attentive, great service overall, and strongly suggest making reservation before as it gets pretty busy! The inside of the restaurant is really pretty, definitely a vibe and great outdoor seating as well when it's warm out. Clean bathrooms as well!! Love this restaurant and of course it's in a great area. read more

This was my second time here. My first time was just for drinks. This time I went with two friends for Sunday brunch and had a really good experience. Our waitress was really friendly and made recommendations for menu items. Food came out fast. We ordered the banana foster French toast to share. Let me tell you something, If you are someone that likes French toast, you do not need to order anything else on the menu and if you are not into French toast this is a sign for you to try something new. Hands down very high on the list of the best French toasts I've ever had (it's hard to decide, I love to eat lol). I also ordered the smoked salmon Benedict, which was delicious and fresh. My friends really liked their food. Also, very great espresso martinis. The vibe was chill, not crowded. I Will definitely go back, maybe for a different meal hour. Give them a try! See pics for all the deliciousness. read more

Pretty good spot. Drinks were great, ambience is the cool side of Amazon's home decor, hummus plate was pretty good. Prices are reasonable but on the high end. The service was fantastic. Down to earth, personable, and gave great recommendations for what to order. Highlights included their award-winning cocktail (I forget the name, I think it had elderflower? Maybe lavender?) and the truffle deviled eggs. We asked for the bacon in the side and received a generous portion. 4 stars for it not really pushing the boundaries much when it comes to the experience. I kind of expected more exciting things on the menu based on the look of the place online. Nevertheless, I was happy and would maybe go back if I didn't have anything else to try! read more

Assembly row does it again! I wanted to make sure to stop by assembly while visiting family and I'm always amazed by how much they are expanding. This place is a great addition! Great food, lovely drinks, and amazing service- you don't need to go to the seaport or downtown for elevated casual dining. We made reservations ahead of time on a Sunday at 1:30. It's definitely less busy inside the restaurant at this time, but parking and everything outside the restaurant was still Very busy! I opted for a Caesar salad with chicken, my boyfriend got the blue cheese salad with steak- SO GOOD! And my friends got salads, a flat bread, and a turkey club. Everything tasted really fresh and well made. I love the options for mimosas. I'm not really a fan of orange juice. And they had some mock tail options for my friend. I don't really have any complaints, just really happy that there are options like this in this area! read more

Very spacious inside. Came on a Sunday right when they opened for brunch and it wasn't busy. Our server was very attentive and patient. We had 2 young toddlers in our party, so took us a while to put in our orders and for us to finish. They have a brunch menu (limited) but also had a lunch menu with more options. The devil eggs were ok. The crab dip and ricotta meatball were both good. read more

Had a very nice dinner here while staying at The Row Hotel nearby. Started off with a tasty margarita, with a generous proportion of tequila, as well as the Salt + Stone Crostini, which was excellent (the whipped burrata was especially heavenly). I got the Southwest Chopped Chicken Salad, which tasted very fresh and was presented beautifully, but I found the chicken slightly dry, and the dressing was a bit too light in flavor for my taste. My wife got the Tuna Nicoise Salad, which was great -- the tuna was really tender and perfectly seared. My daughter got the Mac & Cheese, which was really good as well -- not too salty (and the cheese was perfect to make my chicken taste a little juicier). Our waitress was awesome -- friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself has a nice vibe, casual but hip. Plenty of outdoor seating available. Great place to cap off a day of shopping on The Row! read more

A very fun spot for brunch! We had a reservation for 8 on a Sunday at noon and was sat right away. I was expecting it to be loud, crowded and harried, but was thrilled to find it casual, comfortable and relaxed. The vibe is cozy and the menu has something for everyone. Our server was very nice and the food was very good. Bennys for most. Loved the tater tots more than I wanted to. Easy parking in the lot. Would go back for lunch or dinner to check out that vibe. read more

Fantastic! We popped in before a movie, sat at the bar. Service was friendly & attentive. I had the delicious tarragon wild mushroom chicken with broccolini. My husband started with french onion soup and then had a wonderful bruschetta and wings. We were both very pleased with the tasty food and will definitely return. read more

Decent spot for a drink and standard American food in Assembly. Tables are small, service has been hit or miss, and food/drink is above average. Certainly preferred to Southern Kin across the way. read more

Roaches and Rodents I drove from Rhode Island just to get to Salt + Stone because my friend told me how good the fire roasted salmon plate was. The staff were very welcoming before I sat at the bar and had some tequila shots before ordering my food. I felt quite relaxed until I seen not 1 but 3 Roaches(1 big and 2 small) crawling on the bar quickly near my drink. I downed the rest of my shot and told the bartender about the roaches. I didn't want to eat the food there and they were understanding of the situation. I paid for drinks immediately after and left.. I wish I didn't see them but I had. I think that restaurant needs a thorough cleaning and inspection. That was possibly my last and only time going there. read more

Sat at the bar for a couple of drinks and was satisfied with the refreshing drinks! Good service as well at the bar! read more

Salt & Stone - Seafood Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

This place has a great vibe! Atmosphere is very nice. Arrived 20 minutes early at 440 for a 5 pm reservation and able to be seated. Unfortunately the hostess sat us on the very last table in an empty restaurant. We asked to be moved as no one and I mean no one was there. They moved us up diagonally one table. Our server was good but intentionally did not come and ask for an order until "happy hour" was over. The drinks were very good and the food was amazing. Leaving here now and still the restaurant is relatively empty. Please know the restaurant is beautiful and food great but customer service is why they get 3 stars. read more

I came here for dinner on a Friday night and had a bit of a mixed experience. The place itself is beautiful. I loved the finishes, decor, and the vibe, but the music was too loud. I can be a fan of loud music at dinner, if it's done well, but I found myself trying to shout across the table and consistently repeating myself which became annoying and took away from the experience. The service I also thought was OK. Our server was nice but didn't attempt to go above and beyond by any means and we struggled to track him down when it was time to get the check. For food and drink, we started off with the margarita flight. It was fun to try, but the box it came with didn't work very well (the drinks kept tipping over) and it took up too much space on the table, so we decided to ditch that. We then tried the tuna and salmon dishes. I thought the tuna and cucumber salad (that it came with) were delicious and very well done, but the potatoes were bland and also felt kind of random on the plate.. the salmon was also good but I would stick with the tuna! read more

Came to Salt + Stone for Happy Hour and it was nice. The ambiance is gorgeous, very comfortable and relatively casual. Brandon was a fantastic bartender and conversationalist. I ordered a dozen oysters from Canada, they were pretty good, but there was some shell in one of them so whoever was shucking did not do it properly. A couple guys came in about an hour after me, and their server said they had brand new oysters from a different location, which made me feel like mine weren't as good. A friend stopped by and we tried their wings, which Brandon recommended to get with the sauces on the side and they were great, and recommendation appreciated + approved! OYSTERS: 3.5/5 WINGS: 4.5/5 SPICY MARGARITA: 4.5/5 (different than the usual) I'd return here if I'm in the area, and recommend it. ambiance: 5/5 food: 4/5 drinks: 4.5/5 service: 5/5 Salt + Stone: 4.6/5 read more

My fiancé and I made a reservation to sit in the heated patio outside for dinner. Despite it being heated it was still pretty chilly and there was quite a wait before someone took our drink order. I had the steak salad and he ordered the filet. Overall the food wasn't bad but NOT worth the price. read more

The food is very good. Is it and the service as good as the price calls god? In many cases no. But the ambience and drinks certainly make up for most of that. They're slow and it can often feel like you're being purposefully ignored by some of the waiters/bartenders but very much a Insta foodie spot or nice date night place if you aren't in a rush! Wicked cute interior. Overall if you want relaxed bougie vibes this is a good spot. read more

Salt & Stone - Empress and tonic - Seafood Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Went here for my birthday this year. The photos and reviews had me hyped but the reality was disappointing. The Brie appetizer I was looking forward to was okay but I hate when places leave the rind/wrapper and the cheese doesn't fully melt down. The big letdown was the sesame crusted tuna. We both ordered it because it was the most appealing thing on the menu. They obliterated the flavor of the tuna with this salty teriyaki sauce covering 90% of the slices. And what wasn't covered in the teriyaki sauce had an overpowering wasabi sauce on it. We were both sorely disappointed. My strawberry drink wasn't good either. Service was decent. read more

Alejandro is one of the best bartenders I have had the pleasure to be served by, not only in Assembly Row, but Boston as a whole. He is knowledgeable about the menu and drinks, and is very kind and accommodating. On top of quality service, he makes great conversation with you. The team at the host stand was also incredible. We had the meatball appetizer and the devils flat bread, it's to die for. read more

First off the aesthetics in this restaurant... beautiful The navy blue and gold at the bar area, the mustard yellow chairs in the dining area, the lighting... a vibe Stopped by for lunch and so glad I did. We ordered the brown butter lobster roll ($30) , the meatballs & ricotta ($14) , a strawberry daiquiri and a piña colada (which were both frozen drinks). Everything we had were delicious and the frozen drinks were surprisingly strong. 10 out of 10... highly recommend this restaurant read more

We were trolling through Assembly Row and decided to go it to this place to bites and drinks. We found a place to sit at the bar. I had a flight of margaritas and I liked only one kids because the rest were super sour. The mocktails tasted bad like drinking soap. The food was average. I was expecting something better. The lights should have been more dim. The bartender was nice and tried to accommodate. read more

Had a really great night at Salt + Stone! I've been wanting to eat here for awhile but haven't gotten around to it and now I wish I did sooner. The outdoor seating is enclosed and adorable, I loved the decor with string lights and the inside is just as beautiful. We got 2 18oz beers for $9 a piece which was an awesome deal! We had such a tough time deciding between the food. Ended up getting the Chef's burger and cajun chicken sandwich. They were both amazing and the portions were extremely generous. I can't wait to come back next time for the flatbreads! read more

Started off with a bottle of wine and the hot crap dip. Tasted exactly like a crab rangoon and was so yummy. Ordered the salmon teriyaki bowl and it was bigger than I expected so I saved the other half for lunch the next day. Service was good, food came out quick, and the ambiance was lively. Sat outdoors in their covered patio area (nice for the cooler nights) and stayed chit-chatting for 3 hours. Such a good date night or casual catch up spot. Would definitely recommend. read more

Salt + Stone just opened in Assembly, replacing Midici. I was surprised at how much hype the restaurant was getting immediately online because Midici was kinda low key. So I was excited to see what the hype was about. I will say that the ambience was great. We went here on a Friday night for dinner, it was busy but we got seats at the bar relatively quickly and the staff was very helpful. The space itself is nice too. However, the food was solidly okay. I wasn't blown away by anything but I wasn't mad at anything either. We got oysters to start. I will say they were all really fresh and tasted good. It was weird that the servers didn't tell us which oysters were which, so we were kinda just guessing the varieties. We got a mushroom truffle flatbread and the bolognese. The flatbread itself was nice, I liked the crust. However, everything else was... fine. I was a little disappointed that it was just regular button mushrooms but it tasted good. The bolognese was again, fine. It's just one of those meals that I probably won't remember. I did like the bar seating and think it would be a fun, low key place to watch a game at their bar without being overwhelmed at a real sports bar. So yeah, I really wanted to rate this place higher but it's fine! read more

Literally the best burgers ever!! The ambiance is cool given the large space, wrap-around bar, and dim but intentional lighting. The burger slid through our hands and it made a sloppy mess but that was well worth it as all of the ingredients felt like it melted in your mouth. Next time I will opt for the tater tots instead of the chips! Definitely coming back here again. read more

A welcoming addition in Assembly Row! This is a perfect place for a nice dinner and/or drinks. The décor was modern and upscale, but they also have TVs at the bar so you can sit there to enjoy the games. Most importantly, the food and service were superb! Here's my review on the food: Oysters ($3/each) Loved these oysters! They were large and plump! They came with two sauces: cocktail and mignonette. Tuna Poke Stack ($18) A must-get appetizer! The tuna was fresh, enhanced by the sesame oil and soy sauce marinade and balanced out by the richness of the avocado. The crispy wonton was the perfect vessel and delivered each refreshing bite that burst with umami. Fire Roasted Salmon ($24) Well composed and flawlessly executed dish. The salmon was cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The spicy cilantro cream paired perfectly with the salmon, as well as the crispy asparagus and smashed potatoes. Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna ($24) A bit of a miss on the ahi tuna - it was a bit bland and lacked the seared crust. Though the tomatoes and cucumber salad was good, we wished the ahi tuna had more flavor and sear on the outside. Besides the food, this place also served delicious cocktails. If you prefer sweet drinks, you'd definitely enjoy Wakey Wakey ($15) and Talk Tiki To Me ($14). Turning Stone ($15) was also good and it's a pretty drink if you want that picture for Instagram. read more

Such a great addition to Assembly! A welcome upgrade to Midici, which used to be in this space and was pretty mediocre at best. The new restaurant is beautiful and has a huge bar that wraps throughout with lots of TVs, it would be a great spot to catch a game and still have a pretty elevated meal. I stopped by on a Friday night and the place was completely full, but we had a reservation and were still seated as soon as we walked in. I started out with the Turning Stones cocktail which was stunning and super tropical, but wayyy too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't order it again but if you're into that sort of drink I'm sure it's great. Moved onto food next and tried the Mango Habanero wings (huge portion!) followed by the lobster ravioli and I was so impressed with both. My boyfriend ordered the burger cooked medium and unfortunately it was way too rare when it first came out. Our server was quick to swap it out with a new one, which was perfect and so juicy and flavorful, and even comp'd it on the check. I can't say enough good things about the service and how the staff handled the whole thing! I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu and sit in their massive outdoor section. Can't wait to see what this place has in store as they settle into the neighborhood. read more

The ambience is nice, menu is a bit plain with standard New American fare, food was okay and had good presentation, but the service was a bit off. I tried the tuna poke stack and oysters and my friend got the wedge salad. Oysters (there was only one kind) and poke stack was good, but the wontons were stale. Friend liked the wedge and veggies looked fresh. Our server was a bit slow and missed on our drinks a couple times - they forgot our wine and when my friend asked for plain tea like an English Breakfast she received Chai. I also tried their version of a Bloody Mary and it was very sour, I couldn't finish it. Wasn't bad experience overall, but not great or memorable. Could maybe see myself getting a beer with a friend in the future, as their bar is huge and the space is nice. read more

Me and a friend came here for dinner the other night cause we wanted oysters and a charcuterie board and this was the only place we could find that had both. The oysters were good.

The best part of this place was the ambiance. read more

I've been here for both brunch and dinner now and both experiences have been great! Most recently I came for brunch on Father's Day. They offered a breakfast and lunch menu and there was plenty to choose from. My boyfriend and I shared the breakfast flatbread and the breakfast poutine. Both were delicious! The breakfast flatbread was so yummy~ the dough had such a great flavor and texture. Highly recommend! The poutine was good as well just heavy. I loved the tater tots. I would definitely recommend both of these. We also ordered a banana foster French toast to share for the table. This was to die for! SO good! It had an amazing flavor and nice crunchy edges. I would 100% come back for this. It's just very sweet~ so a good breakfast dessert to share! The ambiance and vibes were chic and trendy. Reminded me of something like an Earls. The service was good, but nothing great. No one came to fill up our water, and it seemed like we were waiting for our waitress often, but overall the experience was excellent. I will definitely be back here! read more

Dangerously Misleading "Dog Menu" - $860 ER Vet Bill I am absolutely horrified by our experience at Salt + Stone. We chose it specifically because it claimed to offer a "pooch-friendly" menu. I ordered the "The Barkin Burger" for my healthy, 2-year-old, 15-pound pup -- expecting it to be safe and thoughtfully prepared. After feeding him a portion (not even the whole thing), he developed severe, bloody diarrhea. It was so alarming we had to rush him to the emergency vet. The diagnosis: acute gastrointestinal distress, likely from something he ingested. This is a dog with no recent history of GI issues. He's healthy, active, and has never reacted like this to human food before. We were handed an $860 vet bill and a dog in severe pain -- all from trusting this place's supposed pet-friendly option. There was no detailed indication of what was in the burger or bun, and clearly no veterinary input or quality control involved. The food for humans? Mediocre. The service? Unremarkable. But most importantly: DO NOT order anything off their dog menu. It is not safe. If you care about your pet's health, avoid this place at all costs. They should not be marketing to pet owners without proper food safety standards in place. Shameful. read more

Terrible Experience - Not Recommended We had a very disappointing dinner tonight. From the moment we arrived, the staff were rude and inflexible. We had a reservation for 7 people and simply asked to add a high chair for one of our kids--they refused in a curt manner, saying they "couldn't change the reservation." The food was just as bad. Everything tasted overly sweet, including the steak, salad, onion soup, and even the flatbread. It was like sugar had been added to every dish. While we were still eating, the waiters came over with takeout boxes and started pressuring us to pack our food. Just 10 minutes later, they asked us to leave to make room for another reservation--despite at least three empty tables in sight. We spent $400 for 8 people (without alcohol), and it was absolutely not worth it. The food was poor, the service was rude and pushy, and the overall experience was extremely disappointing. Definitely not recommended. read more

From the outside I thought it would be sports bar-ish considering the large tvs over the bar tuned in to all things Boston sports. But it had a nice neighborhood feel inside. The service was great. I arrived early and the hostess said as soon as your table is bussed I'll seat you, which she did. I saw the table get cleaned and she took me right over. The food was delicious. I had the rigatoni and I highly recommend it. The star of the evening however was the Vesper martini. Good thing I only had to stagger across the street to my hotel! They were cold, strong and hard to drink just one so I had several. Go for the rigatoni, stay for the Vesper. read more

Writing a review after my second time visiting Salt and Stone. During my last visit, it was a sunny but breezy day and the restaurant had outdoor seating with a covering, indoor seating next to large windows that were open, and other seating in the back without the window open. Since the person who seated us did not understand the ask to sit next to a window in the back, my guest and I sat wherever. My hope was that the rest of the visit wasn't filled with a comprehension challenge. The waiter came over and collected our drink orders, followed by our appetizers, and entrees. The appetizers were delicious - baked brie and rosemary sea salt chicken wings. For an entree, we had the fire roasted salmon accompanied with potatoes and asparagus (salmon and potatoes were overly cooked, as was the asparagus, which I would never try again). We also ordered the truffle flat bread which the truffle wasn't melted well. The server we had was wonderful but the food was a 6.5/10. read more
