Salt & Barrel

Came here for Valentines Day and couldn’t have been any happier. This is our go-to spot to stop in for fresh oysters and wine. Reservations are a must, and the food is always consistent and just at another level. Great spot in Bay Shore

Absolutely wonderful dinner date experience here the other night.

We started with happy hour and got some fresh raw oysters. The price was right for the oysters, and the taste and freshness were even better than the price. We grabbed 2 local NY oysters and my favorite, the bar harbor blonde from Maine. They had such a great selection of oysters. I was impressed.

The drink selection was very good. Plenty of bottled and craft beers. Huge wine list and great cocktails.

For starters, duck spring rolls and the biscuits. The spring rolls had a ton of tender duck in a crispy shell with a sweet orange sauce. The biscuit was buttery and had a cheesy flavor.

For mains, we split the dry aged duck and the scallops. The duck was ultra tender. Not really crispy. Sweet but tangy orange sauce. And the creamy yam puree went great with the tender yam slices. The scallops were larger in size but there were only 3. The sear on them was good and paired well with the pancetta and tiny Brussel sprouts.

Highly recommended for a nice dinner or date night.

Excellent bar and cocktails are made with the freshest of ingredients! Always great selection of oysters too. We dined as a party of four last night and enjoyed our time at the bar. Our table service with Emily could not have been better. We had a table next to the fireplace and were able to enjoy our food and conversation. The salmon was delicious with a crispy skin and perfect seasoning paired with cauliflower with the right amount of acidity to make the entire dish perfect. Always great chicken and burgers. We have dined here too many times to count and have never been disappointed

My go to spot for the high quality cocktails (best manhattans) and untouchable raw oyster selection.
If you’re discerning of craft cocktails there is no better place on the South Shore. Hand made ingredients with a constantly evolving drink/ oyster/ food menu.
Elevated atmosphere with an eclectic mix of locals and trippers.
The staff is unmatched in the area- friendly and accommodating. Whether dining at a table or bellying up to the gorgeous white marble bar the staff has always been gracious and accommodating to me, like old friends!

Went for the first time and will now be my new place for brunch. The chef (Ryan) made me the best duck hash I ever had to date.

Cocktails and oysters here are exceptional. We came for dinner for the first time & I had a slight issue with my food but our server Michael was so attentive and quick to rectify it that we had an AMAZING time anyway! Michael went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves for dinner, thank you for incredible service!!!

Went here for happy hour with a large group. Lots of great happy hour specials on oysters and cocktails. Highly recommend! There were several different oysters to choose from and they were all fresh and tasted excellent. The cocktails were also made pretty good too. The atmosphere inside is pretty nice to. Might be pretty expensive without a happy hour special. I would definitely come back!

My husband and I go here for date night and happy hour. The oysters are incredible and the food is always amazing (burger, lobster roll, etc). Great staff and atmosphere!

Food is great. Service is great. The wait staff is younger than your average staff but its cute to see them at work and they work well! Very kind, attentive and personable staff. Back to the food...it's bomb! Anything on the menu is good; including drinks! Food wait time wasn't bad on a BUSY day like Mothers Day, either! Great place. You won't be disappointed. :)

some of the best oysters I’ve ever had, especially the specialty cooked ones. incredible cocktails. Even more amazing service & staff.
great spot for a special night out or date.
gem in the middle of Bay Shore 💎

This is my TOP place to get oysters. They are fresh, delicious & they know how to properly clean them. The drinks are always great. We love to sit at the bar because it’s beautiful. A little pricey but if you can get there for happy hour it’s a great deal. The tarragon biscuits and whipped butter are to die for!

Quality beyond words. Highly recommend. Food was great, but the attention to detail in service was exceptional. Thanks mike our waiter made the experience so much better. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Found this place online & could not wait to try it. It was beyond our expectations from the service, thank you Michael, to the delicious food!! Must try the biscuits served with maple butter! Blow your socks off WOW! We had the chicken sandwich and lobster roll- both INCREDIBLE!! The lobster roll had such a savory taste and the bun was perfect. Take the time to stop here it’s so worth it!!!!

Great experience. The environment was warm and welcoming. Our waitress was very attentive and consistently checked on our drinks etc. The decor is also swell! Much enjoyed will return very soon!

Awesome spot for Happy Hour. Eric is the best bartender on Long Island! Great service, food, and atmosphere. Stop in for Happy Hour and you’ll be back.

My girls took me there for Mother's day. Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was great. We all loved it.

We sat at the bar and out bartender was amazing and he had a great personality. The food was delicious and the drinks were tasty. The happy hour was phenomenal. Definitely coming back.

this place was fantastic. My burger was absolutely delicious. I had the salt & Barrel Burger. The burger was so good that I did not have to put ketchup or salt or anything on it. I also had some oysters which first super tasty, icy cold and had a nice presentation. My cocktails what right on the money and reasonably priced. This place is not cheap but you get what you pay for. I definitely recommend visiting this place for dinner.

The oysters were incredible. The scallops were a little disappointing because it only came with 3 for a dinner portion and the base was some kind of corn which is just a weird thing to pair scallops with, the flavors didn’t go well together. However my friend has the sea bass entree and it was great. Cocktails were 10/10 and the waitress was very sweet and provided great service. Overall great dinner spot and Ill come back for the oysters.

Tasty oysters, world class cocktails, great ambiance. Always a treat. Oysters in particular are well done and the staff is knowledgeable. Try the tiger oysters for a unique treat!
