Other ROCKSALT Tips
- They’ve begun some “whimsical offerings” as Chef Jay Pierce calls it during the week. They encourage patrons to “steal” their logo pint glasses on Sunday nights with the purchase of a beer. They also give away Koozie on “Koozeday”

- Half price, raw bar fresh oysters from 11:30am- 4pm each Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
- Recommendations: Brutus Salad, anything on the half shell, mussels, and the Halibut Steak. I love how they take fish that perhaps diners are not familiar with and prepare it in a fun way.
- Sit at the high top table by the kitchen. It’s fascinating to see your food being prepared for you right then and there. Great view of their famous, wood-fired grill.
