Seafood Restaurant · Hiawatha · 122 tips and reviews
Bret Zimmerman: stopped there twice on Sunday during my bike rides. Beer, fresh fish, outside seating, in a park! what else could you need? GO!
Josh Thacker: Fresh fish, live bluegrass (with a saw player!), and all my fellow progressive neighbors. A South Minneapolis gem! Staff is also killer.
City Pages: Sea Salt is a consternating force in the life of Twin Cities fish lovers. It's got the best fresh fish in town, like oysters shucked as you watch, which taste chilly, silky and fresh.

Dude Man: Beautiful Argentinian, Italian, and fresh seafood dishes that romance the palate as well as your date. And if the food won't do it, the bar will.
Kevin Saundry: Great, imaginative cocktails with interesting presentation.
Crystal Annis: I loved the oysters and the Panqueque. Well we loved everything but these are my two favorites.

Heavy Table: Try anything salmon — like the gravlax small plate, or the smörgås, is marked by fresh fish paired with sweet beets and a spicy punch from watercress and mustard dressing. Read more.
Lily Crooks: Bright space, friendly staff, incredible food. The open face salmon sammich is to die for.

Molly Burke: Try a whiskey sour, they hand craft them with egg whites. Pair with fresh oysters (always good) and deciles eggs.
Moraya DeGeare: Gluten free French toast. Huge #glutenfree menu.
Thrillist: The full day of mealing starts with breakfast twists like a meatloaf hash, then hits lunch with a fried oysters/ slaw/ pickles/ remoulade "Oyster Peacemaker" hoagie. Read more.

Junelle Grindberg: Ordered the Organic Salmon & sautéed Brussels sprouts! Delish!
Meg Knodl: apple, manchego, chive salad = must
Jill N.: Foodies will appreciate the exceptional dishes,notable wine list and even my fav apps: mini burgers w fries & hollandaise or healthier option: ahi tuna w apple coleslaw. 5stars Scallops wrapped bacon
Robert Howze: The chicken & calamari is phenomenal....... 🐓🐙
City Pages: Voted top ten chicken wings! Each bit of the wing brings a different spice flavor. Not entirely savory, not exactly sweet, it's an entirely unidentifiable, familiar flavor.
Korey Erb: Scotch and the Monte Carlo Wings. Make it happen!
Tom Kukuk: First time ever there and I found it to have some of the best Thai food I have ever had. RAMA THAI with Chicken and peanut sauce was extraordinary. Chicken satay... very good. Spring rolls excellent
Darren G.: Protip: If you are a dumb bro who may look like Dave Navarro and wearing red izod polo, please know that chopsticks are not used in Thailand. Epic date and culture fail....
Heavy Table: The red curry with bamboo and beef gets best in show: it features silky bits of beef in a rich and smoky curry. Read more.
