Saltie Girl

"Delicious seafood tower! Very fresh. The lobstah and row tuna were excellent, the oysters as well. Wil had chowdah which was delicious also. Very good Chablis. The bread was crunchy outside, soft inside as it should be. Really nice atmosphere (we were in the room with the bar and had a great table near the entry in the corner with a booth). The service was very good. The pistachio tiramisu was ok, quite « greasy » cream and unbalanced textures but I am picky. Expensive but worth the price."

"Saltie Girl’s Gloucester lobster roll is an homage to the lobster fishers pulling bugs out of the waters off Cape Ann, which is about half an hour north of the city. It is served either hot or cold alongside a helping of housemade sea salt and vinegar potato chips."

"27.09.24 | Poli Step into this Back Bay raw bar specializing in snappy cocktails and luscious preparations of all things seafood and you’ll fall hook, line, and sinker for everything on the menu, including platters of fresh-shucked oysters on crushed ice, torched salmon belly with charred avocado, smoked fish that would make a New York deli owner proud, seafood-topped toasts, and a butter-drenched warm lobster roll overflowing with fresh meat. Rounding out the menu are tins of domestic and imported gourmet shellfish and fish (including caviar) served in all their oily goodness with bread, butter, smoked salt, lemon, and sweet pepper jam Keep in mind that this place is very, very small and almost always packed. You’ll usually have to wait for a table or bar seat, but the crowds just add to the party atmosphere."

"Restaurant créé par une française spécialisé dans les produits de la mer. Le lieu est très sympa mais pour le prix les quantités sont un peu exagérées. Un peu plus de sauce ne ferait pas mal. 60$ pour deux petits plats et un dessert. "

"Average seafood. Yellowtail sashimi was bad and pasta was too cheesy and oily "

@coralchan

"Mostly a seafood restaurant - kind of expensive for it. The oysters were good. I got the clam linguini it was kind of too salty/oily, but came with bread. Christina liked the lobster pasta - it had a kick to it. Vibes were cute with the pink walls. "

"Known for their sustainably sourced and high quality offerings, Saltie Girl has plenty of options to sift through, including petite, grande, and royale seafood towers piled high with fresh oysters, littlenecks, and Jonah crab salad. There’s also a new Italian-inspired seafood pizzeria, Seafood Pizza by Saltie Girl, stocked with lobster, clams, caviar, smoked salmon, and tinned fish atop fresh-baked pies with hand pulled mozzarella, burrata, taleggio, and reggiano."

"We’ve noticed something weird at Saltie Girl: people talking to each other. Not people who know each other, but complete strangers. Steve Jobs put the internet on our phones precisely so that we wouldn’t have to do this and, in Boston, not talking to each other has worked out pretty well for the last couple of centuries. Sometimes, we don’t have a choice, like when we’re in a CVS that doesn’t have automatic check-out. But regular small talk between strangers? Remarks about how a tuna crudo looks, or friendly jokes about throwing back cocktails at two in the afternoon? That’s not usually how we roll. Saltie Girl in Back Bay is different, though. This is a seafood restaurant - but not the typical kind with oyster crackers and tanks of drugged-out lobsters. Instead, this place could be a bar on the mega yacht that Brad Pitt charters when the world’s most beautiful people meet to decide who’s going to date whom for the next 12 months (that yacht has three bars: a champagne bar with chandeliers made from lava rocks dug out of the Earth’s core, the Saltie Girl bar where they go to relax, and an Applebee’s). Frankly, it’s hard not to talk to people in a place this fun. Saltie Girl review image In terms of the menu, Saltie Girl takes the broad category of “stuff that doesn’t live on land” and then does whatever it wants with it. If you’re the type of person who changed majors three times before giving up on the world and going to law school, your inability to commit to anything will actually be rewarded at Saltie Girl, where you can have Italian, Japanese, Spanish, or traditional New England seafood in one meal. The New England basics are really well done, with fried shellfish that has more belly meat than grease, and chowder that strikes the right balance between too thin on one hand, and Neil Armstrong could plant a flag in the bowl on the other. If you branch out, you’ll find that the crudos and small plates might be the best sections on the menu, and things like the fried lobster and waffles aren’t just gimmick foods. Saltie Girl review image Be sure to dive into the giant collection of tinned fish, too. It might seem like kind of a waste to order something at a restaurant that could’ve just come off a store shelf, but (1) that’s never stopped you from downing a bottle of wine, and (2) this isn’t exactly the kind of tinned fish you can get at the same grocery store that stocks your K-Cups and frozen pizzas. These are briny, buttery, tender little bites of fish served on a charcuterie plate with bread and awesome housemade butters and spreads. It’s the type of thing they’ve been enjoying on the Mediterranean for years, and they definitely serve it at the Brad Pitt parties. Keep in mind that this place is very, very small and almost always packed. You’ll usually have to wait for a table or bar seat, but the crowds just add to the party atmosphere. So the next time you get sick of living in a city with terrible weather, guerrilla skirmishes over parking spots, and draconian alcohol licensing laws, head to Saltie Girl and be transported to a better place for the evening. Maybe even say hello to the stranger at the next bar stool. We can all go back to being our normal, emotionally-closeted selves after we finish the oysters."

"Don’t like fish but recommend if u like fish! Lol. Not many options but I know it’s good according to everyone else. I had fries "

@nourfarouk2000

"La nourriture, le cadre, l'ambiance... Tout est parfait. Saltie Girl revisite les classiques de la région : le homard est servi sur une gaufre ; les poissons crus sont accompagnés de yuzu , de mangue ou de jalapeño  ; et le clam chowder, agrémenté de bacon, est d'une finesse incomparable. On aime aussi les sardines servies dans leur boîte et accompagnées d'un pain artisanal et de beurre au sel de mer. Le décor, dans les tons vert pastel, s'articule autour d'un long bar, au-dessus duquel trône une sirène, et quelques booths (boxes) très rapidement pris d'assaut."

"Saltie Girl may be small, but it boasts a large selection of seafood dishes that touch on so many different genres. A table might have everything from a raw bar tower to uni Benedict toast to fried lobster and waffles, and there are plenty of imported tins of seafood as well. This Back Bay restaurant is a seafood lover’s paradise. (By the way, there’s the option to add lobster and/or caviar by the ounce to anything on the menu.). (King salmon crudo)"
