About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Great for happy hour
Great for outdoor dining

ROCKSALT Charlotte brings you a sustainable seafood experience in an intimate, rustic setting. Our oyster bar is front and center to showcase the freshest oysters around, grown by our owner. The wood-fired grill brings savory depth to land and sea-based proteins. Our wine and beer selections are carefully curated and our cocktail list evolves continually. And we have incredible non-seafood options as well, such as our Chef's Cut - a rotating choice of steaks cooked on our open fire! We have two patios - one that is covered and affords great views of the surrounding area, another that is uncovered and a great place for walk-ins to wait for their table while grabbing a drink. Reservations recommended but we try to accommodate as many walk-ins as we can. Please be advised that reservations are held for 15 minutes before cancellation. Guests are reminded that seatings are limited to 2 hours max. All members of parties must be present to be seated.

Felt like the waitress Kayla wasn't comfortable serving our table. There were only 3 tables (including us). We felt rushed to order, finish, pay and leave. Not the greatest experience, I'llprobably will not return. The seafood pasta was delicious, and the oyster special is very good.

I had the Surf & Turf off of the restaurant week menu. It was pretty good, the mash could've used a dash of salt and my steak was undercooked but that was remedied quickly and the service was amazing.

I was extremely disappointed in our meal at RockSalt. It may have been an off night, but we were the only people in the entire restaurant. I'm not sure they had anyone else there all night. Because of this, my Aperol Spritz was made with a bottle of prosecco that had been opened for some time. There was no "spritz" to it. The oysters were very good, but that is where it ended. The salads were tiny & unimpressive. The ceasar was "grilled" but that only served to make it wilted. My partner had the scallops, in which there were 3. I had the Mahi Mahi but it was overcooked & therefore dry & tough. All of this for the price of $50/person seemed excessive. And then when the check arrived, it had a 22% gratuity already added for Restaurant Week. That is fine for a party of 6 or more, or if it had been disclosed at the beginning. With an already steep price tag for subpar food, that was just the finishing kick to the stomach. Do not recommend, even on a regular night/menu.

We participated in the Queen Feast 2024 summer. It was $50 a person. This was way over priced should have been $25-$30 person. The $50 did not include the dessert that was another $6?!?!? Most other restaurants included the dessert. I understand queens feast is a set menu but this restaurant refused to make any substitutions even for allergies. The daily special blackened mahi came with some kind of coconut rice, my husband is allergic to they would not swap it for another side and also acted as if it was an inconvenience to put the rice on the side in a bowl… we sat down right @6:30pm and was not served the main course until 8pm. It was nice the weather was perfect but an hour and an half to be served is a long time. Plus we were outside and the flies were terrible!! They did forget to bring mine and my husbands 2nd drinks and when they finally did bring them they didn’t charge us for them which was nice. They also gave us a military discount which we appreciated but, they also automatically added in the gratuity. It was a meal of $160 for 2 and 2 of the drinks were free. Just way over priced for what we received and the unwillingness to accommodate allergies will keep us away from this place in the future.

Two of us went to the first night of restaurant week and were delighted by the food and the service. The grilled and raw oyster plates were marvelous. The gazpacho was great. The salad was fine but nothing outstanding. The whole Black Sea bass on saffron rice was worth writing home about. Lovely evening!
