Sea Salt, Albany

Located in a section of Berkeley burgeoning with new shops and eateries, Sea Salt Restaurant shows the variety of delectable dishes that can come solely from the ocean. Created by the same owners as Lalime, Fonda, and Jimmy Bean's, this restaurant offers a level of creativity and sustainability in their food that makes them a culinary force to be reckoned with in the East Bay. And with few options for non-seafood fans, the menu encourages visitors to venture out of their regular meat-centered dishes. The menu proves that there is a sea teeming with alternative, delicious dishes like the Steamed Lobster on a Torpedo Roll. They also boast a diverse wine list, so be sure to inquire with the friendly service about recommended drink and dish pairings. And plan accordingly, as they do not accept reservations.
