"Located inside Mystic Aquarium, Saltwater Café offers the unique experience of being emotionally waterboarded while overpaying for a sandwich. The food is standard aquarium fare — overpriced, overcooked, and spiritually damp. But the real show is behind the counter. The staff here aren’t just miserable — they’ve reached a higher plane of detachment. Dead eyes. Blank expressions. The aura of people who’ve seen things no human should see — like the inside of the nacho cheese machine at close. You could tell them you were on fire and they’d reply “Do you want a receipt?” Ordering food felt like interrupting a funeral. One employee sighed so hard I thought it might lift him off the ground. There was no greeting. No thank you. Just the silent exchange of currency for calories, like a grim ritual everyone regrets mid-way through. The tables were sticky. The chips were damp. The vibes were bleak. One star, because it exists, and that’s the nicest thing I can say."

"I didn't eat here, but I did pass by. I am mainly writing this review just to upload pictures for those that are curious about what is on the menu as well as the prices of said items."

"I have a friend who has celiac disease therefore she has to bring food from home, I think yall should update your policies. I’ve seen tons of people here in the aquarium who have home water bottles and outside food inside here."

"RIPOFF PRICES! $5 for a can of soda. $2 for a cup of cheese to go w a cheese pretzel? they try to take advantage in the aquarium.. go somewhere else nearby"

"I was in today and while the cashiers and line workers were lovely, which is usual for this spot, a manager who works there named Beth completely ruined the experience for me altogether. She was rude to her employees and I can't fathom her employees feeling comfortable working there. She makes the whole company as whole look bad and I seriously hope she's fired soon. Apparently she always acts this way? I can't imagine working for someone like her."
