My happy place! When this place opens, it means spring has sprung. I love water, sun, outdoor eating that's away from car emissions, fresh oysters, and cold red wine. How'd they know?! It's actually my fave place to have fresh oysters. They're the best here! The calamari, crab cakes, and fish are great. They do seafood pretty well considering it's a bistro style spot. The po' boy sandwiches and other food is good too. They have great ice cream and I'm not even into ice cream like that. The tap beer is good. They usually have a beer truck set up just outside. They do have limited indoor seating and a neighboring covered dining room. This area is always busy of course. Minnehaha Falls are a major attraction. I love being able to get light exercise on the fly walking, climbing stairs, or riding surreys. Great family outing. There's a playground for the littles.

I only get fish tacos here, so should you. I'm told their fried fish is good, side of fries equals fish and chips. Who knew?

Great spot near the Minnehaha Falls. This time, I had the Walleye with corn and potato salad. Very nice. Not my favorite walleye, but very good. It's an excellent environment to sit out and look at everyone playing in the park. You place your order at the counter, sit down and wait for your food to be brought out. Very casual and relaxed.

Great food, great vibes, get the walleye! The walleye was the best thing we've ordered. It was cooked perfectly and the flavor was amazing. I've only had walleye a couple times and this was by far the best. It came with wild rice and some sides which paired deliciously. I also enjoyed the crab cake a lot! It was very flavorful and super delicious. The calamari was also very yummy and came out piping hot. The fried fish was a good option, but I might skip it next time. I wished that the baskets came with a side of fries or some kind of side instead of fruit or Coslaw. I felt like the prices were a little steep with the addition of the sides, but some of the servings are huge. I wish we could have gotten more crab cake or less fried fish. I would definitely come back, and would recommend for others, but expect to spend a bit!

Before touring the Minnehaha Falls, my family and I ate at this restaurant. We waited in line for about ten minutes, but it moved fairly quickly. Around the restaurant are long picnic tables to accommodate large parties. I had the catfish po boy, and it tasted solid. Depending on how hungry you are, it may be safe to buy an appetizer, especially if you're sharing. Their fried calamari tasted great, and I'd recommend it. The restaurant has a lot of choices, including fried and grilled baskets and sandwiches. Minnesota is known for serving fried walleye. Here, it was a little too expensive in my opinion, so I decided to order something else. If you want dessert, they also have a small window to purchase ice cream. I tried the Minneapolis vanilla flavor, and it tasted really good. You could even taste tiny bits of vanilla beans as added texture.

A family-friendly location featuring seafood, craft beer, and outdoor seating. Located at the well-known destination, Minnehaha Falls, Sea Salt Eatery ensures fresh, tasty food, plenty of seating, and the soothing background sound of the falls. Our group visited over Labor Day weekend. We inched along in line like a ride at Disney World but chatted and didn't mind the long wait. Once at the ordering counter, we could also order beverages. Craft beer, kombucha, soft drinks and other non-alcoholic beverages were available. Water in cups was self-serve and free. A separate beer stand exists for quick service. I checked out the specials menu while waiting and ordered the "Sexy Ahi Burger", cooked medium. Reduced balsamic and the grilled onion enhanced the flavor, along with the horsey sauce on the side. The flavors filled the taste buds to the max and I'd return for this 4 star "burger." Our group ordered fries and fried clam strips that I tried. They both were 3 stars. Clam strips were accompanied by the typical cocktail sauce (ketchup with horseradish). The very nearby falls are a great before or after dinner view and walk. Another challenge on a busy day beside the long waits for ordering and receiving, is parking. Pay per spot is an available on site with additional parking in nearby neighborhoods. Always pay attention to the signs along the street to make sure you're parking in a spit designated for parking.

Don't let the line scare you, you can grab a drink while you wait and it only took 14 minutes to get to the front where a smiling cashier took our order. We found a table where we could hear the crashing water and in less than 10 minutes our delicious food arrived, another smiling employee. We had the shrimp po boy that had a little zip and toasted bun. A really good crab cake that was more crab than cake. And mahi tacos that were perfectly cooked. Nice beer and wine selections as well as NA options. They also have ice cream for purchase but we were full so we'll try that next time.

Sea Salt is one of my favorite summer spots! Not only is the fresh seafood delicious, but its views of Minnehaha Falls make it the perfect place to unwind. My go to items are the fried calamari & fish tacos. They have a wide variety of local beer, wine & NA beverages. The service is always friendly and quick as it can be a busy spot in the summer. Before you go don't forget to stop by their ice cream window and taste the delicious local fav Sebastian Joes ice cream! Parking is mostly street parking or there is also a pay lot nearby. They are only open seasonally from 11-9pm April-October!

Love the falls, love the tacos. Sea Salt is a fav. The line is long and parking is tough but it's worth it. Can't get enough of the tacos.

I always read the comments section in the "36 Hours" series of the New York Times because locals will usually give tips that were neglected in the articles. I am grateful to the person that commented on the recent piece about Minneapolis because this was how I found out about visiting beautiful Minnehaha Falls and having lunch at the adjacent Sea Salt Eatery! Easily accessible via light rail from downtown, we walked the nearby Minnehaha Creek Trail and were ready for a nice seafood lunch! It was a beautiful day so that meant many other people had the same idea. There was a fairly long line but it only took around 20 minutes before we reached the front. That gave us plenty of time to look over the regular and daily menus - and to share a pint of their delicious cider while we waited. We didn't feel like having anything fried so we opted for one of their daily specials- a Cajun Ahi Po'Boy. We also ordered a Pickled Herring appetizer. We took our number and found a table outside on the patio. After around 10 minutes, a server came out with our order. We both agreed that the Po-Boy was absolutely delicious! Plenty for us to share! And the portion size of the pickled herring was also very generous! Thank you to the person that recommended this place!
