Salt + Stone

Great food and service. For appetizers we had the sea salt chicken wings which came with blue cheese dip. We couldn't decide on the sauces so the server brought all four. We really liked the barbecue sauce. For entrées, we ordered the mushroom tarragon chicken and the pan seared scallops. They were both ample-sized and marvelous tasting. Our server filled our water and left a carafe at the table. We sat in the outside patio, which had small puddles of water in certain spots so we sat at the far end, where there were no water puddles. The inside of the restaurant looked beautiful, but my friend likes to eat outdoors. Shannon did an excellent job taking care of us.

Great place!! I had 2 appetizers and 2 margaritas. Service was excellent. Atmosphere is great with indoor and covered outdoor seating. Menu is varied and I will try new things on my next trip. I highly recommend this spot. Server’s name was Anna and she couldn’t have been better. I’ll ask for her by name next time. Arguably the best restaurant in Assembly Row.

I really liked my experience here. I took a reservation ahead of time, and that was worthwhile since it was pretty full when we walked in on a Saturday night. We were served water the moment we were walked in. The cocktails were really unique, the vibes were amazing, and food/drinks were served so quick. I took the solstice (vodka + orange vanilla sage simple syrup) and loved it. My partner loved his cherry blossom cocktail (japanese gin + elderflower+ cherry puree + lemon juice+ kalamansi). He also enjoyed teatime in wonderland cocktail (vodka+ elderflower+chamomile syrup+white tea). For people preferring sweeter cocktails, the last night cocktail was pretty cool (peach blossom+yuzu liqueur+ lavender lemonade). Unlike other places, their cocktails weren't watered down. Also, the cocktails were very smooth and well blended and good-looking. Their truffled deviled eggs were so good and spicy! They have lots of parking at a plaza 5-min walking distance away. I would be back again for sure. PS: they also give one water jar per table, which I appreciate since I get thirsty between my bites, and feel bad asking someone to refill my waters constantly!

This is my favorite American restaurant in the area. The food tastes really good and as far as I can say the ingredients are high quality. Their kitchen is open to see for anyone, and that might be a contributing factor to its quality. Regarding the food itself: the last time I got a scrambled egg from the brunch menu, which was the most delicious omelet I’ve had in ages. It is served with smashed potatoes! Pay attention, smashed not mashed. We also got their burger and french onion soup and steak tip salad and all were very delicious. I recommend it to anyone and will definitely be back. Also, you can park in a garage which is 60 ft away for free, if the stay is less than 3 hours.

We were excited to try a fresh new place and not disappointed! There WERE some teething issues still, our steak came out well done despite having ordered medium. They promptly offered replacement or a refund though, they're clearly trying to get things right. Everything else was great. My burger (medium correctly), the drinks (the Maple & Rye tastes wonderful, as did the one on the picture) and ESPECIALLY the staff! Made for a lovely night at the bar before going to the movies.

“If you’re into cocktails with natural flavors, drop whatever you’re doing and head to Salt and Stone. Their cocktails are next-level — honestly, some of the best I’ve ever had (and trust me, I’ve had a few!). Alejandro, the bartender, is not just talented but also ridiculously friendly — you’ll feel like you’re hanging out with an old friend. The food? Absolutely amazing. You even get a front-row seat to the kitchen action, which makes everything taste even better. Plus, the spot is right in the heart of Assembly, with great views and a patio that’s perfect for pretending you’re on vacation. We had an unforgettable time — 10/10 would recommend (and will be back)!”

The ambience in this place is amazing! There is an indoor seating as well as an outdoor seating in a tent ! Lovely place for a special occasion! The prices were typical to what one would expect in an upscale restaurant!

Talk about underrated! This place deserves 5 🌟 's Casual vibe that's good for a date night Our bartender Lauren was a gem 💎 Before making the drinks, she made sure we enjoyed certain components to avoid us from not liking them (ie mezcal in the fire & ice cocktail) Margarita flight was perfect and featured 1. Regular marg 2. chai 3. Mango habanero 4. Mezcal We got the hummus plate and enjoyed everything but wished the carrots 🥕 were steamed more The pineapple bacon burger (summer breeze burger) was to die for. Bacon was crisped perfectly Rigatoni bolognese with burrata was satieting and not too heavy with meat sauce. Would definitely go back bc of the fun people, good food and the good vibes

The deviled eggs came with a filling that tasted like hummus and had an interesting taste. Loved the French toast made perfectly crispy. Good brunch spot in assembly. There’s a heated outdoor seating in the winter.

Salt + Stone is exactly what you want for many different occasions. The atmosphere is nice enough that you can take a date here, have a special event, and it won't feel weird, but it's also that modern/casual vibe where you can just go in your day clothes and not feel weird about it either. And the kicker: the prices are totally reasonable and the food is good. Salt + Stone proves that all my other reviews complaining about Boston restaurants being overpriced and completely valid, because yes, if you want to spend $40 on an entree here you can, but you can also get a great entree for $20, and it's actually filling and delicious. They have a decent selection but it's small enough you know everything is made there and not frozen. And also the staff was very nice and we didn't have to wait a long time to get our food even though they were busy.

Just had a group bday dinner. Great food...good vides...and drinks. Goooo...asap.

Sebastian took fabulous care of my daughter and I! The French onion soup was one of the best I’ve ever had, shrimp cocktail was wicked fresh. Loved the pear salad with no prosciutto, I did not feel rushed even though we are guests who love to take our time. Atmosphere was nice also :-) we will be back!

If you are looking for an upscale spot in the “Assembly Row”, you’ve got to try Salt + Stone! It’ll become your new favorite spot! Salt + Stone has a vast menu with fresh seafood, steaks, handmade pastas, burgers, flatbread pizzas, locally sourced salads, and soup. They have a great raw bar with fresh oysters, little-neck clams, shrimp, and more!Their seafood platter offers a taste of everything. I look forward to trying it on my next visit here! Yes, I said it. This is my new go-to spot. Their menu does lean heavily on seafood, given you are in Boston. However, there is plenty of options on the menu for those who aren’t a fan of seafood. I booked a reservation for brunch, as it was Mother’s Day. I booked a 1PM slot, which was perfect. The inside was hopping, very busy. Luckily, it was gorgeous outside, so we decided to eat on their enclosed patio. In my opinion, it is much more open sitting outside. It felt a bit claustrophobic inside with how busy it was. We started with some raw oysters. They were incredibly fresh. I always love to top mine with horseradish-cocktail sauce and Tabasco. They had all the accoutrements. I look forward to coming back for $1 oysters. For brunch, we ordered the Egg’s Benedict. What can make Eggs Benedict better? Lobstah. We both added lobster to our Benedict. The lobster was fresh and delicious- generous portion too. If you want to mix it up, they offer the option to add smoked salmon, avocado, or Canadian bacon. We mistakenly ordered a side of the smashed red potatoes, not knowing the eggs Benedict came with a side already. It’s okay, they were delicious. Cooked perfectly and fully through. Seasoned perfectly. A must-add to the brunch table! The lobster Benedict was THE BEST I have ever had. The English muffins were perfect and held up just fine to the mountain of lobster, egg yolk, & hollandaise sauce. The eggs were done perfectly. The hollandaise sauce was rich, but not overpowering to the dish. Many places totally drown it in hollandaise. They have the sauce to eggs Benedict ratio down pat! All the rich ingredients were perfectly balanced. As I mentioned, the portions are very generous, without sacrificing quality. As we sat on the patio we watched food come out. The burgers are large enough for two. The salads are massive and easily makes two meals. Their cocktail program is equally impressive. They have a very cool Bloody Mary Flight available during brunch. However, I decided to go with the “Brunch Punch”. A delicious mix of Tito’s, Prosecco, Peach Schnapps, Crème De Mure, & OJ. The pours are very generous and the cocktails are all incredibly unique. The Executive Mimosa is also a must try for those who want to take the mimosa up a notch. Prosecco, Tito’s, & Orange Juice. If you’re coming with the ladies, they offer a few of their cocktails in a “tower”. Plenty for two or more to share after a long day. If you aren’t a fan of craft cocktails, they have a wide selection of craft beers, “frosé”, and a Margarita Flight. For those who prefer wine, they have a solid wine selection. The beverage program here is incredibly unique and top-notch. Service was top-notch. The reservation was on-time with no issue or wait. Our server was attentive and ensured we were well taken care of. When asked where the oysters were from, she had the answer without skipping a beat. Clearly, the owners are truly committed to delivering a top-notch experience. We never felt rushed or hurried. Being slow eaters, they happily spaced everything out so everything wouldn’t arrive at once. The owner personally thanked us on our way out. I can’t wait to come back for $1 oysters and happy hour appetizers. I look forward to making this my new go-to in Boston. I can’t wait to try the burgers, French onion soup, handmade pasta, & the lobster roll. I could go on and on. There isn’t one bad item on the menu. They truly delivered a five-star experience. Thank you for making Mother’s Day special. My mom absolutely loved the place and can’t wait to come back!

This was my second time at Salt & Stone. Greeted by an extremely nice and polite host. We were served by David, one of the best servers I’ve ever been served by. Me and my friend got the burger and it was exquisite, from the meat temperature to the kettle chips. We ended the night with a Chocolate Brownie Sundae, it was so delicious we ordered one more and ate it in under 3 minutes. I will for sure be back soon, one of the best if not the best restaurant in Assembly Row. Live, love, Salt & Stone!

Had Sunday brunch here with my wife, sister, and brother-in-law on a very cold January day. It was very busy, but the food was fantastic, the service was friendly and attentive, and the environment was clean, modern, and comfortably appointed. My wife and I both had the fire-roasted salmon, my sister the sesame salmon teriyaki bowl, and my brother-in-law had a peach & prosciutto flatbread. All were delicious – and I cannot emphasize enough that the salmon was better than at most restaurants – and the serving sizes were all plentiful. This is not a cheap restaurant – it was about $200 for the four of us – but it shows its value in the quality of the food and the service. We will definitely be back soon. I also have to say that we were there on a VERY cold January day, so we did not wander outside much, but this is in a very walkable, fun neighborhood full of great stores, coffee shops, and outdoor gathering areas that add to Salt+Stone's inherent "destination" quality. You really shouldn't miss it.

My family came to Cambridge for Thanksgiving and catered Thanksgiving through Salt + Stone. When we ordered Salt + Stone went out of their way to accommodate our kids allergy restrictions and labeled each the containers. The food was delicious, but unfortunately one item was forgotten. When I called on Friday the team was gracious and unprompted responded with over the top generosity to make up for the item. Their service from pick up to response to our missed item reflect a team that really cares. I wish every service business took a page out of Salt + Stones book. Great food and over the top customer service. We will be visiting again in the future and think the world of this place.

Salt + Stone made our Thanksgiving a breeze! We catered our full Thanksgiving meal from here and everything from the ordering process to the pick up and reheat was so easy! The food was incredible! Some of the best turkey we have ever had. Put my bird from last year to shame. Plenty of food for the whole family! Will absolutely do this again for years to come!

I had an outstanding experience at Salt & Stone in Assembly Row, and I have to give a special shout-out to Brenda, our waitress, who truly made the night exceptional. From the moment we sat down, Brenda was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She guided us through the best dishes, made spot-on recommendations, and somehow anticipated everything we needed without ever interrupting the flow of our conversation. Her timing was perfect, her service was smooth and friendly, and she made us feel genuinely taken care of. You can tell she takes pride in what she does — it elevated the whole dining experience. The food was delicious as always, but Brenda is what made this visit unforgettable. If you go to Salt & Stone, ask for Brenda, she’s truly the best!

3-4stars depending on what you order probably. We got the prosciutto flatbread to split as an appetizer, and although it was delicious and unique menu item... It was poorly put together (slices not cut through, toppings in big chunks, very difficult to eat). My entree (tuna) was really good. I was impressed with the quality and quantity of the tuna. The sauces were good and not too heavy on it. The potatoes and tomato/cucumber salad had good flavor. The salad was also sloppily prepared in that things were not cut evenly at all making it odd to eat. We also tried the clam chowder and enjoyed it. My husband ordered a burger and it was just mid. He ordered it medium and it was well done and just not the greatest quality/flavor meat. Service was a little slow but not bad!

we ate here this last Sunday. our server was fantastic. we ordered the baked brie, and were disappointed in the lack of fig. it absolutely needed more. I got the baked cod which was fantastic! my husband got the spicy lobster pasta which was okay. lack of lobster and the broccoli seemed totally out of place. our margaritas were delicious and the atmosphere was great!

A nice place to hang out with friends and shared some appetizers, but maybe not the chicken wings (a unique seasoning or marinated, not tasty to me). Drinks are also great. Looks like understaffed but it’s not too bad and they are super welcoming and friendly. One thing surprised me is that they didn’t have veggie burgers and other options. You can order mushroom flatbread, but I’d prefer a restaurant with more options to accommodate a group of friends.

The wings were so good! They tasted like they were grilled on my backyard barbeque grill. I also had the mushroom tarragon chicken and my friends had the burger and halibut. Everyone enjoyed their dish. The burger was served with chips they don't have a fryer so they do not serve french fries. For dessert we all got the butter toffee cake. The only problem was it was served cold! Disappointing because it would have tasted better had it not been taken straight out of the refrigerator and plated. Our fabulous waitress Gianna wanted to heat them up for us but we were already eating them. Gianna had a great sense of humor and the perfect amount of attentiveness. The decor is funky and cool! They have large glass windows that open so at some tables you can experience the best of both worlds. You have the outside air but you are seated inside 🙂. I loved the bathroom motivation! On the mirror in the bathroom it says "You are the best thing that can happen to anyone."

Very spacious inside. Came on a Sunday right when they opened for brunch and it wasn't busy. Our server was very attentive and patient. We had 2 young toddlers in our party, so took us a while to put in our orders and for us to finish. They have a brunch menu (limited) but also had a lunch menu with more options. The devil eggs were ok. The crab dip and ricotta meatball were both good.

This is a great weeknight sport. The smashed potatoes are yummy. The portions are pretty large. Come in when you’re hungry. They have breakfast on the weekends as well. There’s a whole special oven that makes amazing pizza.

Had a very nice dinner here while staying at The Row Hotel nearby. Started off with a tasty margarita, with a generous proportion of tequila, as well as the Salt + Stone Crostini, which was excellent (the whipped burrata was especially heavenly). I got the Southwest Chopped Chicken Salad, which tasted very fresh and was presented beautifully, but I found the chicken slightly dry, and the dressing was a bit too light in flavor for my taste. My wife got the Tuna Nicoise Salad, which was great -- the tuna was really tender and perfectly seared. My daughter got the Mac & Cheese, which was really good as well -- not too salty (and the cheese was perfect to make my chicken taste a little juicier). Our waitress was awesome -- friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself has a nice vibe, casual but hip. Plenty of outdoor seating available. Great place to cap off a day of shopping on The Row!

Great spot to take your dog and have a great meal. Only draw back is you’re in the back of the Pavilion. They have a covered part and an uncovered part. Dog section is uncovered. Not sure if they will provide umbrellas when it’s hot out, but I would absolutely recommend going! Artie got the salmon and rice while we got the special steak tacos which was great!

This spot was recommended to me, so my date and I gave it a try. Upon entering, the vibe was cool and energetic. To start off the night, we opted for the calm chowder, french onion soup, meatballs & ricotta, followed by the crabcakes. Everything was smacking until we got to the crabcakes (avoid ordering all together). For our entrees, we had the burger and salmon. The burger was said to be cooked well and juicy. However, it fell short because it's served with chips instead of fries (personal preference). The homemade chips were salted and delicious. The salmon, on the other hand, was salty and too crispy. The potatoes had a weird taste, and the asparagus were the only tastey, well cooked item on the dish. Our server barely came to our table, but when he did, it was quick, leaving us needing more. We were never offering dessert once completed with our meals (assuming there was an option). Even my salmon dish being picked at I was only asked if I would like to take it home smh. It was a busy Friday night, but from where my date was sitting, our server preferred to help tables with more females. If I'm in the area again, I would l Iike to order their Flatbread pizzas.

I really loved the restaurant the food was excellent, and the drinks were great. I would easily give it five out of five. However, our experience was cut short by the service we received on Saturday. Our waitress rushed us throughout the meal, making us feel as though she wanted us to leave as quickly as possible. It was frustrating and came across as unprofessional. Aside from that, everything else was wonderful.

I visited Salt + Stone for an early Sunday brunch, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing from start to finish. Even though the restaurant was nearly empty—with more servers on the floor than customers—we still waited far too long for anyone to take our order. The slow and inattentive service set the tone for the meal. I was hoping that at least the food would make up for the lackluster service, but that wasn’t the case. The dishes were underwhelming and didn’t justify the wait. I even ordered a second beer, which never arrived until after I had already finished my meal—long after it was relevant. Overall, the visit was a letdown. Between the sluggish service and the mediocre food, Salt + Stone didn’t live up to expectations, especially given the quiet brunch hour. I left feeling disappointed and unlikely to return.

Our experience at Salt + Stone was mixed. The food wasn’t great overall—we had a burger and pasta. The burger was good, and their house-made chips were pleasant, but the pasta really threw us off. We expected a hint of sweetness, but it overpowered the dish, making it taste more like candy than pasta. However, the service and ambiance were top-tier, which made the dining experience enjoyable. I’d recommend Salt + Stone if you’re open to a culinary gamble, but temper your expectations.

We have been here 4 times and the food has been OK. We usually come back because of the drinks—they are very good! I had the Brie cheese 🫕 and it was good, prob my favorite thing I’ve had there. The burger was OK My husband likes the rigatoni—it is really big and the meat sauce is bomb. However, last time we went, the pasta was way under seasoned. The shrimp tacos were horrible. The were colder that room temperature and they leaked cold juices. It was disgusting. Definitely coming back for cocktails, but skipping food.

This restaurant has always been a favorite of mine in Assembly Row, we LOVE their meatballs and frozen drinks. Unfortunately they let me down this last visit. I went with my family for Veterans Day to thank my husband and we got the bare minimum.. I notice the staff was overwhelmed because I only saw 2 working. We were greeted with water right away but were quickly forgotten. We patiently waited and we wanted to have our whole order figured out so we can let our server know but they never came back. We tried to flag who seemed like a manager on the computer but they didn’t notice us. Our server FINALLY came to our table and took our entire order. Everything came out great and delicious and our server was super apologetic, and we were super understanding. What concerned us after was that we weren’t the only table who were being neglected and a manager never noticed. The staff should’ve been prepared and the manager should’ve taken cared of the people who weren’t attended. Note to self and everyone don’t visit during a weekday holiday.

This restaurant is very cute, had really high hopes. The drinks were good! There was even one I wasn’t crazy about, and the waitress took it back. The food wasn’t great. The nachos were really soggy and sparse, hard to eat. The hummus plate didn’t really have much hummus on it. Random items that didn’t feel like you could actually consume the plate. The Brie cheese appetizer was good, but lacked flavor. The AC wasn’t working and it was extremely warm, but management and waitress were apologetic. I’d come back again for a drink I think!

Disappointed by the food at Salt +Stone. Mediocre at best. Crab cakes were tasteless, the crostini with prosciutto was nothing to rave about & the blackened shrimp tacos were basic. (We’d asked for accompaniments on the side & what we got was a sad looking slaw, crema & chips with ketchup ) The wild mushroom ravioli my daughter ordered looked outright revolting - the whole plate was covered in an unappetizing looking brown sauce. Wish I’d remembered to take a photo. Can’t speak for the chicken sandwich & salad the two men in our party ordered. They just ate without giving an opinion! The only dish that was okay was the fettuccine. We were seated outside in an area covered by plastic tarp & on a hot muggy night, with no fans to circulate air, it was downright uncomfortable. I’m not going to be a repeat customer.

my nephew and I went to visit for lunch , there were 2-3 people there and we were sat down as we came in . We ordered 2 salads and chicken wings . The chicken wings came out but we waited a long time for our salads mind you 6 people already came in and had there cheeseburgers and fries and wings and I said wait why are we still waiting for our food . The salad was ok just like any Caesar salad . Despite this it was an open environment which was nice the breeze blowing I’ll will pass this restaurant. But give it a chance you never know if you like it. I’m not knocking this place down like I said the environment was great but I wasn’t to fond with it .

The cocktails and my husband’s meal were fine, but he rest of the experience was not good. The food came out suspiciously fast, before our drinks had arrived. The drinks took another 10 minutes to get to the table after the food. We also had to ask for utensils and napkins because they weren’t on the table when our food arrived. I got a couple of bites into my huevos rancheros before I realized that the runniness of the eggs was not from the yolks but from uncooked whites, which is very unsafe. The waitress did end up comping the huevos rancheros but I didn’t bring a menu for me to order another meal, so I just asked for a turkey club because it was easy and the only other thing I could remember offhand without seeing the menu. The sandwich was fine, not worth $20. I didn’t trust them with another egg dish. The sandwich came out with soggy kettle chips and ketchup (??) on the side. They offered a free dessert but the rest of the food had been so mediocre at best that the offer really didn't make things better. Even when it’s busy, it’s not okay for the kitchen to rush the food and risk getting people sick. And customers shouldn’t have to request silverware and menus.

I was looking forward to going to this restaurant all day as they had three tuna entrees and I ordered tuna tartar or seared tuna at any place. I go when it's on the menu. Unfortunately at salt and Stone the tuna was worse than awful. There was no taste to it and the texture was like grizzle on the side of a steak or pork chop. It was truly awful. I'm worried I'm going to have food poisoning later. It must have been frozen after it had been seared and then defrosted and served seared. Tuna is supposed to be served warm, not ice cold

I really shy away from writing bad reviews, if a place is not good I simply don’t write anything at all. In this case I must share… The bartender was very nice, atmosphere was pleasant. The food however was not. The Chicken wings, although edible, were accompanied by brown celery and carrots that did not taste like carrots. As if they were stale and sat in water for days. The flatbread was raw, undercooked dough and since I was starving I had to eat some… My stomach is paying the price now. I made sure the bartender notified the manager on site. The “manager” who was aimlessly walking around never came by or said a word. As a restaurant manager myself, I would never have handled a situation this way. Or should I say Not Handled! I won’t be coming back and this is for all the people that at least expect a decent meal- not to expect it here. This was my experience, I do have high standards, but it was just not good and poorly dealt by management. Sorry to say

Nice, clean place with a good location. However, as a bar manager myself, I strongly believe your bartenders need proper training. They were openly discriminating between customers. Nobody asked us how our food was, if everything was okay, or whether we needed anything. My water glass stayed empty almost the entire visit. Meanwhile, they gave extra attention to the older couple next to us, likely assuming they’ll receive a bigger tip. For the first time in my life, I will be leaving zero tip. I don’t mind spending money at a restaurant which nice and good food, but not for such poor service. Please stop giving good or bad service based on how people look, treat every guest with the same respect.

Went to this restaurant for the first time today, was not really busy, lots of empty tables. We ordered one appetizer, and 2 burgers, the appetizer came out 30 minutes later, but waited an hour and a half yes, 90 minutes , no burgers, so we paid for a bland appetizer and told waitress we had to leave, and go somewhere else, no explanation given as to why our food was not coming out, no manager approached our table. I find it ironic that we were sitting there for 90 minutes, and on another review, a some patrons were asked to leave, after being there for an hour, while still ordering food. They were told there was a set time limit for each table. We will never go back to this awful place. To the person from salt +stone who responded to my review, we were in your restaurant more than 58 minutes. We parked our car nearby, put money in for 90 minutes, so yes we had to leave because we were waiting all that time for 2 burgers, and we didn't think that we would have to wait over an hour for 2 burgers and without an explanation for why our food didn't come out.
