We were there on the Southern food evening and the appetizer of oysters on toast and the entrées of blackened catfish and Carolina beans were amazing. The Caroline beans in particular was such a unique and delicious treat. Thank you for a great night.

The most perfectly cooked and best tasting filet I ever had. Perfection! I wish the sides were smaller. I really wanted to try some but knew it was too much. Lobster tail add on was superb. We had the table for hours. No rushing ! Great night!

I was eating by myself and everyone on the wait staff—other waiters, busboys, hosts, kept checking in with me, seeing if I needed anything, making me feel at home. It was altogether lovely. Carli was my wait person—what a pro! Better yet, what a charming pro! She stayed attentive yet with just the right light touch. The food was sublime—duck breast, and those Brussel Sprouts! Yo die for. Then when I simply had no room for dessert, yet Carli discerned my sweet tooth, wasn’t she a dear to send me along with these divine strawberry bon bons. My travels to get to Saratoga Springs were ghastly this day, and Salt & Char and Carli and staff made me forget all about that!

This is our second time at this wonderful restaurant. The menu is amazing and we were all very pleased with our choices. Compliments to the chef ( Don ) who prepared his famous Quintessent’s Chicken Teriyaki which was spot on from the original. Highly recommend… you won’t be disappointed!

 We went out for a family dinner, the vibe was phenomenal. The service was great and the food was good. It was exactly what we expected. Will definitely be back. Absolutely loved the views as well. We had a table outside, it was a little chilly, but well worth it.
