The only thing better than the food was the service. Good place to go for a special occasion.

We ate outside overlooking the water. It was chilly but the did have a fire going. The herb roasted chicken with mashed potatoes was very good.

We LOVED Saltus! We ended up arriving early and sitting at the bar for about an hour. The bartenders and sushi chefs are so hospitable. We ended up talking to many of them and they made our pre dinner experience perfect! Not to mention the drinks were amazing. For dinner we had the crab bisque (some of the best we've had and we order it everywhere we go) and the tuna sashimi. It was so fresh! For entrees we did the Blackened Dorado and the Filet Mignon with truffle fries and they were both so incredible. The filet could be cut with a butter knife and the fish was so clean and bright! We couldn't recommend this place more!

Great food, amazing and attentive service staff and the ambiance was perfect to celebrate a birthday!

Haven't Yelp'd in a while and I usually don't unless it's excellent or terrible, but this place has a sushi guy named Jonathan. He is an EXPERT Sushi Chef. We have had sushi everywhere in the world we have been and he has surpassed them all! Now u have to ask but he sometimes gets shipments in that are not on the menu. Today it was yellow fin tuna belly and it was FIRE!!!!! The man has serious skills.

We ate at several local restaurants during our 4 day visit to Beaufort and this was the best food we experienced. The ambiance of the restaurant is darker and it was still bright outside, making the contrast between the bright front area and the darker back area weird. The service was probably 3 stars, not bad, but not the level of attentiveness that this restaurant is clearly shooting for with their cuisine, plating and pricing. I started with the steak tartar. Mainly because I wanted to start with something that I probably am not going to make at home. You never know what presentation you might get on this dish, this one was more like a formed cake, think crabcake, with a raw quail egg on the half shell on top, Nice touch and made for a good presentation. Served with toast points. $14. My wife had the Diver Scallops, served with sweet pea risotto, asparagus and a "prosecco-blue crab cream sauce." The combined effect of the sauce and risotto along with the sweet scallops made this a very rich dish. It needs something to cut that richness. The scallops were larger, but only three. $46. I had the blackened dorado. This was blackened Mahi with blue crab & fingerling potato gratin, pickled fennel and leeks. The gratin was outstanding. The blackened mahi was a good portion, seasoned well and just a little bit too much butter. What! Is there such a thing? Yes, Yes there is. Which gives one the idea of the amount of butter. Very rich, somewhat offset by the pickled fennel. $42. This was clearly a restaurant trying to showcase all the local cuisine and the food was the star of the evening. They executed this well.
