Black distressed millwork, intricate old-world details, and mosaic tile floors create a seamless blend of historical charm and modern sophistication. The exposed brick walls, remnants of the historic Decker building, and oversized globe lighting add warmth and ambiance, flowing effortlessly from the dining area to the bar. Indulge in the region's freshest seafood while soaking in the refined yet welcoming atmosphere of Saltine—a true gem in Norfolk’s bustling downtown.

We know there have been some concerns following recent headlines about Virginia oysters, and we wanted to share a little clarity.

The Virginia Department of Health has confirmed that the recent oyster recall is limited to a specific growing area and harvest period in the Little Wicomico River. Oysters harvested from other approved Virginia growing areas are not affected.

At Saltine, we source our oysters through our trusted partner, Sam Rust Seafood. None of the oysters we serve come from the Little Wicomico River, and our supplier will not carry oysters from that area until the issue has been resolved. Our current selection is harvested from other rivers and estuaries along the Chesapeake Bay and from the seaside waters of Virginia’s Eastern Shore, and is not affected by the closure or recall.

The safety and quality of the seafood we serve have always been a priority for our team. We work closely with our suppliers and take great care in how our seafood is handled, stored and prepared.

We’re proud to support Virginia’s seafood industry and the people behind it. If you have questions about the oysters we’re serving, our team is always happy to help!
