WHAT WE DO
Located in the heart of downtown Inverness, saltWATER Oyster Depot is rooted in providing food sourced from local farms & other food sources, with a focus of seafood.
We currently offer a combination of lunch and dinner services, as well as private events — both at the restaurant and offsite events.
Our regular hours are available on our homepage. While we try to maintain a steady schedule, it is effected by private events & pop-ups. Please be patient with us in this next phase of our restaurant.
Check out some event photos at the bottom of this page! And a sample event menu here.
