“ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Salt & Barrel in Bay Shore, and their lobster rolls left me speechless! Each roll was a masterpiece, with buttery, perfectly toasted brioche buns holding an abundance of fresh, succulent lobster. The lobster was tender and sweet, paired with just the right amount of seasoning and a hint of citrus that elevated every bite. The balance of flavors was impeccable, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. Paired with their side offerings, it was a meal to remember. The ambiance at Salt & Barrel only added to the experience--cozy yet upscale, with attentive service that made me feel truly welcomed.

“ Went for a couple drinks and apps today and it was great. Beautiful modern and bright place that was pretty packed. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Izzy. I had a cosmo and tuna tacos to start and did an assortment of their oysters. Very fresh. Will def be back! ”
“ Happy hour. That's the way to go. Gets busy quick though Great oysters selection Specialty drinks are a plus ”
“ This is my new favorite restaurant in Bayshore! The Leche Tigre oysters are out of this world! My partner and I have raving about them ever since we tried them. Baked clams are also a must-- they are huge, well stuffed, and have great crab flavor. We also really liked the burger! Tuna tartare was "just okay" but the other food was so good that we didn't care! The cocktails are also delicious-- I got the prickly pear margarita with smoked salt. The service was also EXCELLENT! Will certainly be returning! ”
“ Let me tell you about this place. This place is all about its aesthetic! The vibes were there. The food was 10 out of 10!! We had oysters from all different states. It was amazing very fresh really liked the hot sauce, vinaigrette and the jalapeño chopped with onion vinaigrette. we also had linguine with clams for dinner,on the side we had a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. I did not like the service we sat at the bar and the bartenders weren't very friendly. We did tip because that's who we are, but the service wasn't amazing. But would go back because of how great the food was ”
“ The hook for us was a hankering for some fresh oysters and seeing that they had many varieties brought us right in. We sat outside under the heat lamps on a nice evening and enjoyed the fresh air. A chicken fingers platter for the little one and then the oysters came! Perfectly shucked and chilled we started with some great selections from Massachusetts and Maine- and went back for another round. We also had a half dozen little neck clams. Also perfectly chilled and well presented. Afterwards my soup and octopus appetizer came out and truly one of the best tasting and presented appetizers we could remember. Definitely a top-3 octopus ever. Our server, Effie, was polite and friendly. He checked on us frequently as did many of the other staff working outside. Filled glasses and cleared plates regularly was a feature of our meal. Outstanding meal which could only be better if we were sitting on a beach. ”
“ Got off to a rough start but Manny our waiter & the manager more than made up for it. So on that we won't dwell. Drinks were perfectly prepared & the meal timing was impeccable. My Baked Clams were perfect. But the Fritto Misto was outstanding! Lightly battered, crispy yet tender Calamari and perfectly salted. I needed to add nothing. Definitely recommended! 6-18-2023 ”
