The food was great. Service above average considering it was extremely busy. Ambience was pleasant. Great location.

We've been here twice as I celebrated my birthday here and decided to celebrate my mothers a month later. We had the same sushi chef both times and he recognized us, haha. This omakase experience is very comparable to Hadaka in Asbury Park. There is a wide variety of fish but my favorite were the tuna & salmon belly. It is important to note that this establishment is kosher which means there won't be any shellfish. If you are expecting Uni or Crab, find another place, haha. The sushi was fresh and buttery smooth. You're in an hour within an hour. Plan to arrive early in order to find street parking especially in the summer time. The restaurant has a very modern feeling and they rely heavily on natural lighting as the actual lighting in the restaurant is very dim. I wish it was slightly brighter that way I can see my meal better. The sushi was solid, but the vibe in the restaurant was...off. You could kind of feel the tension between the sushi chefs and the servers. Subtle exchanges and energy that hinted at some behind-the-scenes friction. It didn't ruin the meal, but it was noticeable and affected the atmosphere. read more

Terrible establishment full of terrible people. Will not be returning. The food is also blah on top of the awful staff

Crowded spot on a Thursday night. Great service. Interesting dishes. Nice bar and hip interior. Music not too loud. $30 parking can be validated for $5 discount. Ordered lots of appetizers for a large group to enjoy many dishes. Expensive but worth it for a special occasion. read more

The food is extremely overpriced and underwhelming. The wait staff were also not accommodating or welcoming. Would never return.

From appetizers to dessert the food was excellent as was the service. While being a kosher restaurant adds to the price, it's a nice restaurant for everyone. We'll definitely make the 11/2 hr trip back. read more

Food was excellent, waiter was helpful, price (for upscale kosher meat restaurant) wasn't bad. I greatly enjoyed the experience and look forward to going again. read more

Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. I spent over a full month trying to book a small wedding dinner for only 20 guests. I followed up multiple times and was repeatedly told that I would receive an email with the credit card authorization to finalize and close the event. That email never came. I followed up again and was told the same thing that it would be sent and once again, nothing happened. This cycle repeated itself with no resolution. The lack of professionalism, follow-through, and basic communication was shocking, especially for something as important as a wedding. This entire process was a complete waste of time. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to host an event. read more

The ambiance and location of Salt is prime. I didn't love that the servers were a bit over tending to the table while reviewing options. Had 4 different servers come up to the table asking the same question. The sashimi apps were good! The steak was ok. My filet was a bit tough and the skirt steak seemed very heavily salted. The creme brulee fine. Not too impressed especially for the price read more

I stayed across the street at Wave Resort for a company retreat recently and we dined here one night. The atmosphere and service were great and the food was pretty solid. read more

Fish and steaks are good. Some foods are disappointing. for example- Burnt ends meat had a lot of fat. The waiter got another order which was no better. Sorbet brand used should be changed - sorbet had a biiter after taste Ambiance- Noise level is amonnsgt the loudest in restaurants due to the very loud music, loudness of diners and lack noise dampening decor which many restaurants use Service is excellent Door entrance needs an awning. In heavy rain everyone got very wet while opening umbrellas (shore frequently has evening/nightime thunderstoms read more

Love the ambience and service! Great food options and all nicely cooked! A bit on the salty end though, I hope the could have the options to be less salty. read more

I'd like to thanks James the manager for his excellent service. We came in last night with no reservation. It was busier than any restaurant I have ever seen. Despite that James went out of his way and finally found a way to seat us. Cheers to James!!! read more

Amazing food at the shore. Top notch service and a luxurious beach ambiance at the shore. Came here for a late Father's Day dinner and was overly impressed either way the quality of food and service provided. Can't wait to be back read more

I'm usually very critical when it comes to restaurants, but Salt Steakhouse is, hands down, the best kosher steakhouse between NJ and NY. What I love most is that you can come here with friends and enjoy a fully satisfying, 5-star meal without ordering a steak or even paying triple digits. The appetizers are generous and delicious, and mains like the chicken piccata, Korean BBQ flatbread, and Salt Signature Burger are fantastic and filling. The fish is beautifully fresh, imported daily, and the special rolls burst with flavor. True culinary expertise. Always a great time. Wish I can say the same for many other kosher steakhouses. read more

I rarely post bad reviews but want people to proceed with caution! The food is VERY expensive for what you get. We liked the French fries, edamame and beet salad. But when it came to our main course the rib eye lacked flavor. I had the duck confit gnocchi which was just ok. Disappointed. read more

First visit to Salt last night... it was a wonderful experience, highly recommend this steakhouse. We were greeted with a warm welcome and promptly directed to our table for 2. The seats were very comfortable and the table was a good size (most 2-top tables barely have enough room for a plate and beverage). Amanda (1 of our 2 servers) greeted us in less than 30 seconds... as it was our first visit she took time to explain the menu options to us. Cocktails were delivered by a 3rd staff member... deliciously made, good presentation. For our meal, Greg took our order... he explained the variety of steaks... we started our experience with bread and olive oil (fresh, warm, tasty bread)... our meal included the beet salad and both soups (honey butternut squash and the mushroom soup... both were fantastic!) We shared the cowboy steak (cooked to perfection) and roasted veggies on the side. A wonderful meal with great customer service. We will be back... My only recommendation would be for the lights to be dimmed a bit more for evening dinning. read more

Got the restaurant confused as salt also has another name they sometimes go by. The very rude person working there says several times "does it day that on the door?!" Never experienced any such things. Let me say again. I came here before and was confused as they were using a different name for pick up orders. read more

Came here on a busy holiday weekend and the food did not disappoint, although the service was definitely lacking. All of the appetizers were fantastic. Karaage (fried chicken) was my favorite, along with the lamb riblets and the tacqitos. I really liked the decor and the ambiance of the restaurant. However, even with many servers, the drinks and mains were delayed. The issue appeared to be in the lack of servers, and many people seemed to be looking around for their servers. Overall, all of the appetizers were great and the sushi was excellent. Don't expect any spicy mayo though. When the steaks arrived, one was underdone (despite a very detailed description in the menu). Steaks didn't come with appetizers, and they also charged us $5 for each bearnaise sauce. Also, the burger I got was reputable, but dense and dry, and smaller than the bun it came in. No sauces other than a bacon jam, and the way it came with lettuce tomato and raw onion on the side reminded me of a burger at a cheap deli rather than a $45 burger. Overall, I would definitely go again, but I would want to make sure it's not at a peak hour. Cost was $240 per person, but two people didn't have mains and one was sent back, so not sure of the point of comparison. read more

Couldn't wait to try this place. The interior decor is super pretty and done very nicely. Even the art on the wall is beautiful. The hosts were very kind. We started off with 2 lychee martinis which were done nicely, they come with elderflower mixed in, it's good but it over powered the lychee a bit. We started with the beef carpaccio, which was one of the best I have had around. They give you a very generous amount, it is so very tender and full of flavor but not overly seasoned with anything. The presentation was very nice as well, loved it. We then got the sea bass dumplings which were very tasty and cooked perfect. We also got the pastrami flatbread. The dough was just perfection. The pastrami is cooked great and you also get a generous amount. If you like pastrami this is a must try. Otherwise for me it's salty. But still this was delicious. For our main dish we shared a cowboy steak with truffle and sides of fries and mushrooms. This was displayed wonderfully, very nicely cooked and we enjoyed it greatly. The only thing I'd say is that the truffle wasn't as strong as I'd like it to be. For dessert we had the donuts which are sooooo yummy and soft. We also had the berry pavolova which was very good & plentiful. I would have liked less of the jam around it. This place is pricey but you do get what you pay for. Wait staff slow down a bit, but otherwise we were happy with the experience and will return for more. (I'm sure every restaurant is short staffed as well). read more

My husband and I just love Salt. It has become our favorite restaurant. Every item that we ordered was delicious, from the corn ribs to the steak to the dessert, just wonderful. The service was also very nice, and the atmosphere was excellent. We will be making this our go-to spot for special outings. Thank you for making an amazing date night! read more

Excellent food. Service was a bit slow, drinks arrived after appetizers. Prices are high but it is clearly some of the best kosher food available. Big problem is that music starts at 8 pm and it is much too loud and inappropriate to the environment. It's like a disco with no dance floor. Keep the kitchen and rework the front and this could be top notch. read more

Salt is a beautiful restauraunt! I was excited for something new, with good quality meats. We started off with the wagyu beef pastrami bread.It was really flavorful with a sweet and salty twist. Then we had the duck and waffles. This dish was less impressive as the duck was overcooked and the sauce on the waffle got soggy quickly (order the sauce on the side). The flavors were delicious though. We also had the 16 oz steak which was cooked perfectly. Moreover, the drinks were also excellent! Our service was great, refilled water, change plates often, the waiter knew the menu perfectly. The rib eye was also good! We will be coming back to try other dishes. read more

Salt Steakhouse - Kosher Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

the restaurant is beautiful. food was excellent. ambiance was great. service was very good. my wife had a steak and i had chicken. sushi appetizer and carrot cake and espresso martini for dessert. all of it was great. so why only 3 stars? it's the most over priced restaurant. there's a reason their on line menu doesn't show prices. the steaks start at $88. the rack of lamb was $128. i frequent high end steakhouses throughout nyc. i've never seen prices this ridiculous. and they build in gratuity because im sure they know after getting hit over the head with the prices that people would take it out of the tip. but if you're staying in long branch your options for a nice dinner out are limited to basically Salt and Sirenas. read more

Salt Steakhouse - this is the menu with prices - Kosher Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

Sorry... Giving the benefit of the doubt here. Could be 5 stars, could be 3 stars and here is why... Salt only recently opened. Two soups, one was cold (Mushroom) and the other hot (Corn). The Appy of Chicken was good and all 4 shared the one portion. After that, more trouble. Dinners came out one at a time and probably 15 minutes between the 1st and the 4th. A big no no for this level and kind of dining in concert with price. Mains were Veal Chop, Sea Bass, Salmon and Cornished Hen. The food was anywhere between fair and good. I say this place has an upscale look, a nice bar, good service. If they can step up the food a tad and serve it all as a family, good to go. Loved the Baron Herzog Wine. Will try again in a couple of months. read more

Salt Steakhouse - Kosher Near Me - Long Branch, New Jersey

The chef ordered $350 dollars worth of food (about 400 lbs of product) from Instacart and gave me less than a 10 dollar tip. This is a disgrace to the hospitality industry where people work for tips. I've delivered to a few different restaurants and have never seen anything like this from a professional chef especially with the prices that this place charges. If you have any human decency I'd recommend to go grab a steak anywhere else. read more

Great service and awesome food. My ribeye was amazing, while my wife really enjoyed the Sea Bass. Highly recommend.. read more

Insanely over priced for extremely bland & mediocre at best entrees. Wouldn't mind the prices if the food lived up to it.

Simply amazing!!! Best place to eat anywhere around! Food won't taste the same anywhere else! read more

Overpriced, bland food. Nothing at all special about this place. Not impressed at all.

never been but it is near the Wave resort and looked intriguing. we did stop in the liquor store and loved the selection of fine wines and spirits, mostly Kosher. read more

Stopped in last night (impromptu) for a cocktail/ quick bite and sat at the bar...Jamie and Matthew there were amazing - both took great care of me! Drinks were delicious! Carpaccio app was divine! Manager James and rest of wait staff were also incredibly hospitable. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back. read more

Service and food was excellent. We found the staff and our server to be very friendly and helpful in suggesting choices on the menu. Great for a special occasion. read more

Everything was extremely OVERPRICED. The waiter was new with and waitress that has been there for some time and they were both on point and accommodating. But an $89 ribeye and my wife got the hanger steak were slightly above average at best. At that price point I was expecting much more. I had several apps, the pastrami short rib was very good, dumplings were pretty good, sushi was very fresh and good as well, but the entrées need work read more

Came here for an Anniversary dinner on a Thursday. Pros: - Nice ambiance - Our server was attentive and kind Cons: - We were seated in the middle aisle, where the divider has open spaces, so you can see/hear the other couples conversation the whole time. *And if I can see and hear them, they are breathing too close to my food for comfort, during an ongoing pandemic. - The aisle table we sat at was small. Could barely fit all our ordered food on it. - Once seated, we were told they didn't have half of the steak items (no waygu, no flat iron, no tomahawk, and something else). The reason I booked this place was for steaks....that I couldn't even try. - Filet temp was cooked properly, but it was tough and had some grizzle! Should not even need a steak knife for a proper filet. Not worthy $60. - Mashed potatoes had the texture of instant, and too much garlic. - Both our forks were badly bent. Come on, that's just lazy quality control. This place was not worth the prices they charge. I would rather spend the money at a Fogo de Chao to get better quality meats / food. Not the best anniversary dinner I had planned :( read more

What an absolutely fabulous place! Had the lamb flatbread that was sooo tender and perfectly cooked. The burger was amazing cooked to perfection with no aftertaste. The grilled salmon was Very fresh and cooked to perfection and tasted Devine! Desert of sorbets all homemade were very good! Highly recommend this place. read more

This is the newest, hottest and most talked about restaurant on the shore. The only reservation slots available are at 5PM (when they open) or 5:45 for the next 2 months, with the exception of an occasional 10PM sitting. So I got a 5:45 reservation for a date with my wife to celebrate our 28th Wedding Anniversary. This may be lengthy, so bear with me.. The place is located the corner of Morris Ave and pier village. The ambiance is very upscale and when you walk in, you are instantly greeted by two hostesses at the front door. As you walk in you are greeted with the bar area, where you can sit for a drink and eat, or move further in and sit to eat. Our reservation was for a seated meal and were promptly taken to our table. We were quickly greeted by our waiter and presented with menus. I immediately noticed however that my cup was dirty. This was an initial red flag for me, as expectations for this place were of a 5 star restaurant and attention to detail is critical. First about the food itself. The Chicken Karaage was very good and something you don't find elsewhere. The wagyu pastrami was really good, only it was supposed to be hot and came out room temperature. I ordered the cowboy steak, which is aged and sounded amazing. I've had cowboy steaks that are aged before.. but it came out sliced off the bone, bone still on the plate and sliced into pieces. Kind of like when your mother cut your food for you.. Now it also tasted funky, chewy and warm, not hot. Not a good way to serve the steak. I seriously couldn't finish it. If I ate anymore of it I would have had to go expel it. In its place they brought me their Spinalis steak, which was absolutely Amazing in flavor, texture and presentation and perfectly cooked! My wife got the rack of lamb which was very good. Their cocktails were very tasty. However, one of their cocktails called the Real Deal, which has Lemon Arak in it, you could barely taste the Arak and it tasted mostly like water. I was going to go into great detail of our experience, but would sum it up as follows; Their communication needs a lot of work, as there were a number of misunderstandings that could have been avoided. Ie, they brought out tuna tartar when we ordered chicken Karaage that the waiter recommended, the manager asked about my steak and offered to change it and Comp'd the original, even though I stated he didn't need to change it, Then the mater'd came by later to check on us and said she would comp the steak.. which were weren't expecting and that she would give us a round of comp'd drinks too. We thought, hey awesome.. turned out, she was referring to the original steak. So the mater'd stated she has the authority to comp the steak, but the chef suggested they comp the pastrami that came out cold. Simple miscommunications that could've been avoided and made for a better experience. That being said, they did make an effort to right their wrongs at just about every step and do try very hard to please. Seems like they still need to polish their service a bit and get their communication straightened out. Most of the food was really good. I gave them 4 stars for their ambience, their efforts, the service and the food was all very good, but due to the price, it should be fully polished and 5 star. Felt more like a soft opening, only it isn't. If they polish up those areas and communicate clearly by setting expectations and deliver promptly, they would be 5 stars. I would definitely come back and hopefully they will have improved. Oh.. but who serves a bone in steak cut up?? read more

Food was ok and and drinks weren't strong. Cannot beat the location, but prices are high for a steakhouse which is unfortunately a standard for kosher options read more

Food was great. Prices are high so for someone like me who eats out often. I can't go often but I will return.

Salt Steakhouse is a 5 Star fine dining establishment serving the best Glatt Kosher selections of steaks. Located in beautiful pier village in Long Branch NJ. Every single dish that came to our table was absolutely delicious. I recommend the lamb riblets as an appetizer. They have a variety of steaks to choose from. I went with the aged rib eye and it did not disappoint. Do your self a favor and visit this restaurant. Do not forget to hold on to the wall when you get the check but its worth it. read more
