While visiting the area, we decided to dine at Salt Traders Coastal Cooking, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the experience was top-notch. Our waitress was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly on point the entire time. She made sure we never needed a thing without being overbearing, which is how great service has always been done. Now let’s talk about the food, simply incredible. They were offering $1 oysters during happy hour, and let me tell you, I happily ate oysters until happy hour was over. They were unbelievably fresh and absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was just as impressive, fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. I left beyond satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. Salt Traders is a must-try, and I will definitely be returning the next time I’m in town. Highly recommend.
I have been to salt trader’s many times. The service at the bar was good and atmosphere always on point. However, I was pretty disappointed with the Cobia schnitzel pasta dish. The piece of fish was very thin, the sauce too thick yet didn’t stick, very few mushrooms and the plate was light on the pasta. This was not a $34 plate. Overall the food was under seasoned and bland.
We tried multiple dishes, everything was fresh. - Oysters: we tried all of their east coast selection and it was very fresh - Crispy Calamari: the breading was delicious, tasted like tempura. - Tuna tartare stack: it was OK, could’ve used more flavor. The avocado was sitting at the bottom and not mixed with the dish - Steamed muscles: it was very good
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars – Exceptional Service & Incredible Food The highlight of our entire evening at Salt Traders Coastal Cooking was our waitress, Jackson J, who was truly a star. From the moment we were seated, she was warm, polished, and incredibly attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of, checking in at just the right moments without ever being intrusive. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine charm elevated our entire dining experience and made the night feel special. Service like hers is exactly what you hope for when dining at a nice restaurant. The food was outstanding from start to finish. Every dish we ordered was delicious and cooked perfectly. The fish and chips and the fried fish and shrimp platter were fresh, flavorful, and crispy, and the sides were just as good. The dessert was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to end the meal - rich, satisfying, and clearly made with care. My wife’s wine was smooth and superb, rounding out the experience beautifully and pairing perfectly with the meal. Thanks to the exceptional service and amazing food, this was a memorable evening. Big shout-out to Jackson for delivering true five-star service. We highly recommend Salt Traders Coastal Cooking and will absolutely be returning.
Delicious food with great atmosphere and service to match. I love my shrimp and the BBQ shrimp appetizer was amazing, with the Nashville Spicy Po'Boy for my entrée I left happy and stuffed. They also gave me a sample of a salmon dip with cappers that was also delicious. Valerie was amazing when it came to recommendations, service, and personality. Would definitely return again when I'm back in Austin.
