Salt Waterfront Cafeteria — Restaurant in Miami

We found this restaurant-bar hidden on Virginia Key, and we loved it! You find the entrance to The Rosenstiel School full of oceanographers past the Seaquarium. Let the gate attendant know you're heading to restaurant or the bar. You'll find a wide open indoor dining space and bar, an outdoor patio, delicious affordable food and drinks, a fantastic view of Bear Cut on Biscayne Bay, and plenty of seating. We had fresh juicy fried grouper and grilled mahi mahi sandwiches, with smoked fish dip, each under $13! They have a nice selection of microbrews and ciders. A sign announces a wine tasting class, too! It's a bit of a walk from parking to Salt, maybe 400-feet outdoors, and up a few steps. It's worth it for the view and the food! The oceanographers can be fun, too:-) Open for lunch M-F, and for dinner and bar...

I have nothing but great things to say about Aaron Friedman and Salt. I held a Celebration of Life here last weekend and it was all I thought it could be and more.

Aaron was extremely honest, and worked with us to make it perfect. It would be fabulous for a wedding or a large holiday party . Salt is a...

I had my wedding here in February 2025 and I couldn't have asked for a better venue. My family is local, but my husband and I live in California, so having good communication with the venue and logistics leading up to the wedding were very important to us. Aaron made the whole process easy from the beginning. He even organized a tasting for us a couple months before the wedding when we were in town. The night of the wedding was perfect -- the staff took care of everything from set up to breakdown, and even helped with details. Our ceremony was on the back patio and we fit 100 chairs comfortably. I highly recommend this venue for weddings or any gathering, and we will definitely be back for happy hour when...
