Summer Salt - AVALON

Summer Salt may be the best restaurant I've experienced in Avalon. The menu is exceptionally well-crafted and thoughtfully prepared by the chef and his team. Every dish complements one another beautifully, and the pacing of the meal is spot-on. The scallops were among the finest I’ve ever tasted. The owners are incredibly warm and personable, going out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our meal. It truly felt like we were in their home, with them preparing a special dinner just for us. Thank you, Summer Salt, for a perfect meal and a wonderful evening!

What an amazing concept! Fresh food served in a simple way, bringing out natural flavors. The vibe is fantastic, the dishes are delicious, and the view is beautiful. The hosting is wonderful, creating a friendly atmosphere. It's a definite yes—I'd give it a 100%!

It's a BYOB establishment, so we brought a bottle of white wine to complement our seafood dishes. Both the service and atmosphere were excellent, and the food was truly exceptional! Our server informed us that the ingredients are sourced from local vendors and farms, which means the menu changes regularly; you can really taste the freshness in every bite. The meal was a four-course prix fixe menu. My absolute favorite dishes were the snap pea salad with whipped ricotta and the Cape May scallops. I’m not exaggerating when I say these were the best scallops I've ever had—perfectly cooked and seasoned! My husband thoroughly enjoyed the pork chop with homemade grits. To top it all off, we loved the dessert board, especially the homemade lemon olive oil cake (so delicious!). I highly recommend this restaurant for a wonderful evening out overlooking the Jersey shore. We'll definitely be returning!

Elegant, simple and flawless. Local, fresh, seasonal prix fixie menu that's continually being refreshed. Scallops done to perfection. Inherent flavor in the quality ingredients brought out and presented wonderfully on each plate by the chef/owner. All with an Avalon beachfront view. Indoor, covered patio and outdoor deck seating available. BYOB.

This is a must-do dining event while at the shore. There is nothing like it in Avalon or anywhere in the South Jersey beaches. We felt like we were transported to paradise. Please make a reservation in advance. What an incredible menu and excellent service. The staff went above and beyond to curate a true dining experience. Locally sourced food and the owner came up to us personally to check in on us. We went at 7:45 and requested the outdoor deck to be at dusk in June and have amazing views of the beach backlit by the sunset.
