The restaurant is excellent. The atmosphere is rustic beautiful wood interior. The fireplace is huge and the fire was cozy. Sat right in front of it. The service was impecable (Marcia was the server). I enjoyed the broiled scallops, perfect carrots and herbed rice. A must, must. more

I have to say that I love the Old Salt because my Dad always takes me here when I visit him. more

Great food. Warm, old-worldy surroundings. Prices are reasonable. Service has been a little slipshod of late...but could be just the busyness of the season. They also have a great brunch buffet on Sunday....the best around. more

The atmosphere is rustic , the service great, the prices and portions good, and the food is super fresh! I have tried just about everything on the menu. The tomato soup and shrimp coctail (jumbo) are spectacular. Don't miss the vegas style buffet on Sunday mornings 9:30-1:30!!!!! We go back again and again and we live 95 miles away! more

We were staying at Hampton Beach and wanted to get away from the downtown scene and have a lovely dinner. A local directed us to this restaurant. The fish and chips were amazing, the rolls were really good and the service was great. I would go back tonight if I could! more

My family has eaten at this place a few times and it always passes with a fair review. Seafood items are and seem to be prepared fresh daily, but lack the overall taste test that makes you want to crave for more. Clam chowder is the best, the only disappointment was the 10 inch black hair that I found half... more

Keep going. We picked this place because Dwight D. Eisnhower had dined there. It's very okay. Food was okay, prices okay, decor okay. I would not recommend or return. more
