Dined in for my hunnys birthday dinner on 6/23 honestly we were kind of worried to dine here based on the reviews. However I am so so happy we gave it a shot . Reservations recommended, We were seated when we arrived our hostess Shannon was amazing took very good care of us . So here is what we ordered.. Started w the Oysters as our appetizers tried all four dressed oysters favorite were the Gilroy Garlic butter & truffle butter oysters .. didn't care for the kimchi or passion fruit oysters.. On to our main course we we with the Tomahawk bone marrow bordeiaise garlic butter & herb This thing was massive !! 4 people can eat this huge portion! Our sides were the smoked coriander carrots, Country mashed potatoes, and the Heirloom bean cassoulet ( Which the beans are a meal in itself packed w steak ends ) yummy .. Ok now back to the star of our night / meal thee Tomahawk!!! Which we selected as soon as we walked in to our right was an amazing display or dry aged meat ( You will see the pics of that beauty ) Huge thanks to the Chef Koa I hope I spelled that right . This young man is truly a grill master 🙌🏻 nailed grilling that to perfection we asked for medium rare we love our steaks this way . Also let me add we have dined at lots of fine steak houses throughout northern / southern California even Nevada but this one will be our best by far ! It put all the others to shame ! The flavor, The sear, The markings, The cut was absolutely spot on ! Thank you Salt Wood and thank you Chef Koa for the spectacular Tomahawk! Now let us bless you with our photos ! If you haven't dined in here DO IT DO IT NOW !! Also the drinks were great as well you absolutely have to try the cherry lime Rickey & the peartini!!

Such a beautiful restaurant! We came here right at opening during happy hour, so we had the place all to ourselves. We got some apps at the bar and enjoyed the decor and conversations with the staff. The oysters were delicious and elegantly prepared. We taste tested all the various preparations, and the Gilroy Garlic was our favorite. The margaritas are super good!

Amazing service even during dinner rush. Waiters were attentive, gave good recommendations based on our preferences, and the view outside was spectacular. The bonus was a dog friendly menu, which we really appreciate.

I've had the pleasure of having dinner here a few times and it keeps getting better each time I come. I was a little worried a while ago but it really seems that since Valentine's Day they are getting better. We came in Father's Day and shared a beautiful steak for two. I just had dinner again and the staff is very attentive. The drinks are delicious and the oyster chef is great on the grill. I'm very fond of the beet and quinoa salad and the new watermelon salad looked delicious. We shared shrimp and coconut grits- delicious! BBQ RIBS- Amazing! I took a burger home and they were happy to accommodate to any of my allergies. The drinks are delicious. I cannot wait to see what else they add. I would love to see some more steaks on the menu and hopefully the bar adds averna to their menu. I'd love a wonderfully full paper plane maybe have drinks with more volume but no other complaints Good job to the new manager and the staff. I am so happy to see wonderful changes

The flavors were great, nice ambiance, good service…the oysters were tiny. We ordered a lot of dishes (as you can see from the photos) and spent a lot of time enjoying the place. The scallops dish was nice but I would have liked just the simple plain scallops, instead of the charred flavor of coffee crust. The fresh oysters, even though tiny, tasted great. Wouldn’t recommended the grilled oysters.

Really pretty set up, both inside and outside. Been here three times now and have sat outside each time and it's been really nice each time. The menu is seasonal, which is nice, to try some new things, and it's a generous amount of food. We've enjoyed our food each time but really hoping the dessert options and quality picks up in the future, that was unfortunately a miss for us on both counts.

This is our 3rd time coming here for the thanksgiving buffet, all food was delicious except for the calamari ceviche which was very under seasoned. Our server was great but the bartender was not so great, she did not want to make a drink from their menu because it had to be done a certain way and loudly stated that "they should just order something else". Our table was close to the bar so we heard her displeasure about making the drink that we ordered. Other than that it was great. I had the driftwood old fashion (seasonal drink).

Beautiful inside. Good food but too expensive. Happy hour still equates to 16 dollar cocktail and 16 dollar burger. However, they do offer a sample of the lavender hand scrub in the bathroom. Watch out for the backwards faucet, right is HOT. Bar tender and hostesses are nice.

We're tourists and didn't know dinner started at 530. They shoved 6 of us at a hot bar where they were going to grill the food for the night. We decided to order a charcuterie board while we waited for 54$. IT TOOK 35 MINUTES by the time we got our board we were "allowed" to sit at our table. The board had 3 pieces of bread and no cheese for 54 dollars and 6 people! They were really forceful about us not getting a table until 530 and it was uncomfortable and awkward for us as a group to communicate. On to the food, everything was absolutely delicious.

I ordered an omelet, the chef forgot the cheese. My daughter ordered a Cesar salad, the chef forgot the Parmesan cheese and sour dough croutons. The other two plates were "ok" . Expected much better.😔

We did not enjoy the dining experience at the Salt Wood Kitchen. We were staying at the hotel (reviewed separately - it was great) had partly booked as the restaurant looked great and we knew we wouldn't want to drive to go out for food. We saved going for our second night when we heard the Jazz was on in the restaurant. We were looking forward to what we thought would be a lovely, elevated evening of oysters, drinks, good food and music. What we found was a VERY busy open plan restaurant with way too much going on. The jazz was on but the poor man was completely drowned out by the wedding happening in the next room. We weren't informed that this was happening when we called to book and it was completely disruptive to our evening. They had a loud DJ and there was no door separating the space, just a curtain. We also had a group of about 20 guys directly next to us and the door was constantly opening and we were directly in the draft. We shared food and only had three glasses of wine between us and the bill came to nearly $200. The food was decent but hard to enjoy in the chaos. We also weren't informed that the main we both wanted was sold out until we went to order (and they had checked in several times). They did throw in a very tasty ice cream as we were celebrating, which was appreciated. But the experience left a lot to be desired and given it was the only restaurant on site, ever so slightly tainted our otherwise very positive experience at the hotel.

I was very unpleased with my experience here! I had high hopes coming here because the reviews were good and my friends said it was great. I got to the restaurant and it looked nice but when we got our food the oysters were raw when we asked for them to be fully cooked. We ordered biscuits and gravy and the biscuit was burnt and the gravy tasted like plastic. We got fish tacos and they were horrible!! They were very clearly uncooked and was not the kind of fish we ordered made everybody stomach hurt. The only Pleasant thing we had there was the burrito. Overall horrible experience will not be going back.

Beware of the false google menu. They haven’t updated their menu. They have cut down on their food options. Food was horrible and very expensive for the quality and portions of food. They have your main dish without any sides , you have to buy sides to SHARE!!! People the side is for basically 1 person. Drinks are very expensive. Cadillac margarita was 18.50 for a small drink. Had dinner yesterday, party of 3. Dad had the salmon , portion was very small, husband had the ciopino, taste was bland not enough broth . I had their fillet steak, it was very tough not very flavorful. Our food was cold!!!!! We got the grilled veggies and a loaded potato, let me tell you the loaded potato $14 was a small portion for 1. I was disappointed in the food quality outdated menu in line, false advertisement. I hope this helps. Total Disappointment to have paid $200 for mediocre food.
