About Us
Saltbox is all about local flavor, from the farm fresh ingredients that go into the menu, to the people who come through our door. This is where comfort food is allowed to stretch and cocktail culture gets a twist.
If the name gastro-lounge sounds like fun, it is. Dining and drinking should work in harmony, and depending on your mood, Saltbox lets you pull up a barstool, a table, a couch or a poolside cabana.
Mostly, Saltbox is about the people. And we have some extremely good people.
