As a "local," we often avoid hotel restaurants. I stand corrected (at least off-season). Excellent meal - home-made Italian Wedding Soup, delicious fried clam appetizer, Lobster Boil Clambake. Chef came to table to explain he only had 1/2 order of clams (fresh clam order did not come in); very thoughtful and always nice to meet Chef. Very slow night in the restaurant - being "spruced up" while we were there but not intrusive. Service was excellent. Thank you. We'll be back!

They do not take open table reservations, there was a big mix up. They seated us on a table that was given to other customers. very uncomfortable situation.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. I ordered one of the specials from the Newport Restaurant Menu. The salmon was dry and there was only 1 shrimp on the plate. There was NO scampi sauce at all! Definitely not worth the money!

This was our first time at Saltwater. The food itself was good, although overall there were a few issues. The first being the parking situation. Apparently they charge to park and their online info states that it is $8 for off season (which it now is) and $20 during busy season. They tried to charge me $20! I explained their online info states it is supposed to be only $8 now and so they honored that. I would never pay $20 to park at a restaurant! 2nd...they also apparently never check their online reservations, as they had no clue what I was talking about, even though I had made reservations through their website...luckily it wasn’t busy! However, I have special dietary needs that were explained within the reservation that they never looked at, so I had to explain it again in person (in a loud environment (as music was playing), so it was not ideal. And lastly, was the discrepancy with their menus. They seem to have different versions online, than what they actually serve. That being said...as someone who has recently been diagnosed with Celiac disease, it was amazing to be able to have fried seafood! They have a dedicated fryer, and that is greatly appreciated! As well as the fact that most of their menu is gluten free.

Unfortunately we never got to eat at Saltwater. Despite getting a confirmation of our reservation, the staff told us that they don’t take reservations and wouldn’t honor ours. This made both Open Table and Saltwater look bad.
