We ordered only appetizers for lunch. Had hush puppies (made from scratch), mini crab cakes, coleslaw slaw and grilled tuna bites. Everything was delicious! Staff was very friendly and asked where we were from and also made the above recommendations . Location was perfect, right at the oceanfront. Had a patio table outside with an umbrella for shade with a perfect view of the ocean and sand soccer tournament. read more

Unbelievable! Awesome! The food is 5-star. New menu and they deliver excellence. Service was great and the day was perfect. read more

First time here and zero complaints! Everything was top tier. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious! Robyn was such a delight! 10/10 recommend! read more

Very nice restaurant. The owner chef and Robin our waitress were very nice. We sat outside and enjoyed watching folks on the boardwalk.

My husband and I came here for lunch. I liked that it is a family owned business. I like supporting locally owned businesses. We were seated pretty quickly. Even though they were busy we did not have to wait long for service. My husband got a grilled chicken sandwich and I got the fried shrimp. I really enjoyed my shrimp! We sat inside with a view of the boardwalk. read more

If you're in Virginia Beach looking for a nice place to have dinner, I recommend checking out Sea Salt Grill located in The Capes Hotel. With outdoor seating overlooking the ocean, and viewing of beach goers and families walking along the boardwalk this was very easy to relax at. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome. The Pungo Punch was delicious and refreshing, I was convinced to have two. For an appetizer, the steak bites were perfectly cooked and seasoned with a horseradish sauce for dipping on the side. Finally for my main entree, I got the fish of the day which was a large piece of flounder, fried and served with tarter sauce, French fries, hush puppies and coleslaw. This restaurant has good food at a great price that is slightly cheaper than other restaurants along the boardwalk. read more

Went for the first time today. They were so nice and welcoming and could take our dog with us. Food was great!

We stopped at this restaurant for the first time today! The owner & chef were wonderful-very welcome & helpful with recommendations. Fried shrimp were the best I've had in my life (and I think frying seafood is a crime! Haha). She crab soup & French dip were both excellent. A lady came in and sat at a table next to us with a very specific allergy. Not only did they help her figure out what she could/couldn't eat-the chef offered to make a separate fry batter to accommodate. Beautiful view. Thank you! read more

The food was some of the best along the boardwalk! I highly recommend the Steak Bites; they were really amazing! What made the experience the best, was the gal who helped / cared for our table - Robin. She was bright and friendly and knew the menu very well enabling her to guide us. Between the food and Robin, they rate a 7 out of 5!!! read more

It is a small restaurant attached on one end to the hotel's pool and on the other end to the boardwalk. The crab cake burger was quite fresh and served with potato salad. The fish was lightly breaded with crispy fries. read more

Perfect small place, gives a dive feel, but super comfortable. Family owned and you can tell. Everyone is nice and welcoming and open to conversation. Service was great, we were in no rush, and enjoyed our time. Food was great. Chicken salad sandwich was amazing, along with the BLT and Grilled Cheese. read more

Small cafe inside a hotel with outdoor tables on the beach. I had a special order blt on wheat. Great sandwich and even better service. I ate indoors due to the heat but would like to try outside for dinner. Readonably priced. Friendly! read more

Before going to the beach, my friends and I got brunch at Sea Salt Grill! I got the crabcake benny and my friends ordered the eggs benny and a collection of sides (yogurt bowl, toast and eggs). The eggs were perfectly poached and doused on hollandaise sauce, but I wish that the hashbrowns were presented more nicely. The inclusion of some greens or some vegetables on the dish would have also improved the presentation. My friend didn't enjoy the cranberries in her yogurt bowl and felt that the whole bowl was very sweet. However, the view of the beach was beautiful and the food wasn't too bad. read more

Sea Salt Grill - Eggs Benny, crab benny, toast, eggs, yogurt bowl - Seafood Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Excellent food and drinks. Recommend steak bites and the Pink Summer !!. Crinkle Fries also.

It was my first time here, but I will definitely go back! I could tell it was recently renovated and everything was looking fresh! Loved the atmosphere of the outdoor and bar area. The outdoor wooden ceiling features were really beautiful and created a comfortable setting for my group. The Crab Dip & Chicken Salad was delicious. Our server was super helpful and extremely attentive. Highly recommend for a girls night, date night, or family dinner! read more

The grilled medium rare Ahi was great. The Mahi fish and chips was dry, crumbly and inedible. Crab cake appetizer was good. The coleslaw sides were fermenting and tasted like garbage. The ketchup has been recycled enough times that it tastes very stale. The waitress was nice and attentive. There's a lot of nice seafood restaurants in the area. This one is mediocre at best. read more

Sea Salt Grill - Mahi fish and chips - Seafood Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

This little grill tucked away in the corner of a hotel on the boardwalk on 20th Street is a true gem. I had the flounder club sandwich, which was large and cooked to perfection. In fact, It's the best fish sandwich I've had outside the Florida Keys. There are only three tables inside and bar seating, with most of the seating outside-- but that depends on the weather. The fish was hot, the beer was cold, and I will be a return customer. read more

Total beach diner. Rain storm was coming so we sat inside at one of the two tables. Most seating is outside so we got lucky!! Hush puppies are sweet - delicious. Our kids ordered hot chocolates to warm up and they served it topped with whipped cream. Mixed drinks seem premixed I believe my strawberry margarita was really daiquiri mix but oh well only had one and it atleast had some alcohol in it. Food was great. I ordered fish tacos, only one tiny strip of fish in taco it could have used 3 or 4 for the price and would have been much better than mostly lettuce. However, they served a spicy avocado salsa with tacos that was delicious just wish there was more fish lol Cute little casual beach space read more

Love this place! Went to a restaurant next door and no one even came to our table, even when we asked if we could get a server over! Went a block over and found this gem!! We were looking at the fun colored rocks on their porch and Cam came right over and gave us a sharpie so we could draw on one too! Tanya was so incredibly attentive and I can't thank her enough! An amazing experience!! We will definitely going back with our friends and family! read more

Yellow fin tuna bites delicious and hush puppies were awesome too! Quaint little patio dining looking over the beach. Server was excellent! read more

Fun little grill, good food and service! I had a patty melt and my friend had She Crab soup and a BLT, yummy!

After driving for more than 10 hours yesterday to get to Virginia Beach, we were tired and starving. This place was next to our hotel and we decided to try it even though reviews were very mixed. Service was not great. At all. She forgot my son's drink and the people next to us weren't happy either because of a mix up. It wasn't busy, so it is not as if the server was overwhelmed with a crowd. The vibe? Not good. We started outside on the patio, which was fine because of the view. It was raining, so we were forced inside. This is where things seemed to go even more downhill. It was stuffy, dirty, with leftover lettuce from past diners adorning the chipped table. There was a fridge next to us and the food in it (olives and cherries) looked to be way past their prime. My son's medium rare burger arrived well done. The hush puppies were super dry and tasteless. The she crab soup was very bland and super disappointing. We could NOT wait to get out of there so we could order takeout from across the street to eat back at our hotel room. We do NOT recommend! read more

Had the Captain special, Flounder, Crab cake, fries and coleslaw. oh and hush puppies. It was done right and that crab cake awesome. My Service person was awesome and a great view of the boardwalk read more

We ate here for lunch and it was so good that we returned for breakfast the next day! Very small, I think most of the tables are outside, but there is very good umbrella coverage and a nice breeze since it's steps from the ocean! Both of our waitresses went above and beyond. When I asked if they had anything OTHER than an Everything bagel (I'm allergic to sesame)... the waitress went and FOUND a plain bagel. Menu items that we loved included the steak bites, the tuna bites, hushpuppies, and surprisingly, the parmesan crusted broiled fresh tomatoes! The Flounder sandwich was HUGE with a nice serving of fries. The wedge salad was plenty for two to share. Prices were very reasonable, especially for their fabulous location. We will be back! read more

Pleasantly surprised! Our lunch started off a little shaky. Wait time was long(even with a reservation ) , service was a little slow. HOWEVER!!! It was all worth the wait! Tonya, our server, hand crafted the drinks and they were all amazing!!! Everyone enjoyed their food! What I appreciated the most is the fact that they realized service was a little slow, acknowledged it, and did their absolute best to provide great service! At the end , we were all very pleased and I would absolutely come back to this gem of a restaurant read more

I've been going to this restaurant a couple of times and it was good but last time I went I asked for medium rare burger and it was over cooked. On top of that they charged me and my daughter extra for fries when the menu clearly states it comes with one side. I will never go there again . I don't like crooks and the old lady that rerang my bill up is going to take that once a good restaurant to the ground. I don't recommend this to anyone. Stay away and if you do make sure your bill is good. read more

The service was terrific, the owner was friendly and genuinely appreciated our business. Food was delicious, and fast. It was a really hot day so was a bit warm but otherwise a perfect brunch, coffee, Mimosa, bloody Mary's, eggs, bacon, grits, pancakes all excellent. You should definitely go there! read more

Great place....friendly owners,fantastic food and service....ocean view..we are locals one of our favorite places

Stumbled upon this place while waking on the boardwalk with my daughter. She actually picked it out, and man was I appreciative. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. You can't beat the beach view either. read more

This place is horrible I sat for an hour and watch them serve all the white people around me. Then when I asked if our order was coming she acted as if they were just putting the order in. No apologies for having to wait two hours for food and the waitress was smug and disrespectful. Racist vibes! I'm never coming back! read more

Food is amazing. Small hometown feel with great service. We are here several times during our stay at Virginia Beach.

The breakfast was fresh and served quickly, friendly staff and a great view!

We planned to eat somewhere else and the place was closed so we googled for nearby places and we were so glad we chose the Sea Salt Grill. It doesn't look very promising on the outside but the location on the boardwalk was a big plus. The stars of this place, however, are its food and staff. We have dined in better looking and better reviewed places on the beach BUT this place offered REALLY good food. Frank, our server, was perfectly attentive--gave us everything we needed even before we needed it. The fried flounder was crispy, well seasoned and not greasy. The wedge salad was good-- the lettuce and tomatoes were cool, crisp and fresh, simple but many others still fail to execute it well. The she crab soup was divine! Creamy and with generous lumps of crab! The shrimp po boy and sea salt burger were also very good. We were lucky to meet the chef, Jeff, who asked us about our meal. He told us that he was being helped by his nephew, Taylor. There was no time for dessert but we are definitely coming back to this place every time we are at the beach. read more

Great food, Jeff and Taylor are amazing cooks. Thanks Frank for amazing service. This is the place to go if you want fresh cook food.

Wow!!! This place was absolutely awesome!! Fresh seafood and Hereford beef! Service was over the top!

This restaurant is great! The staff is friendly Love talking with them! Very nice local place really enjoyed the food atmosphere and service! The hush puppies were the best I ever had and my wife said the crabcakes were the best she ever had this decision to come to this restaurant read more

I stopped by after a 25 mile bike ride for lunch. Beautiful patio, I had cucumber and tomato salad with blacken tuna steak. Service was quick, food was good, scenery was relaxing. read more

Good friendly service. We noticed everything on the Menu was fried . So we asked if our flounder could be grilled instead of fried and they were very accommodating and gladly cooked our fish the way we requested. Our grilled flounder was tasty and delicious. We would definitely eat here again. read more
