Elegant Grill House (Evening) / International Buffet & Mexican Taqueria (Day)
The venue operates as Seasalt during the day (breakfast and lunch buffet, dinner taqueria) and transforms into Auma (elegant grill house) for dinner service. Auma requires a reservation and has an elevated dress code — collared shirts and dress shoes or no flip-flops for men. Premium cuts of beef, fresh seafood, and grilled fish for dinner. The daytime Seasalt format at the oceanfront is the most casual buffet setting.

Mushroom risotto (Ai Funghi) is the specific dish that appears most in guest reviews. Only open five nights a week — plan your Italian dinner early in the week or you'll hit the closure days.

Traditional Authentic Mexican
Traditional Mexican à la carte, dinner only (5–10 PM), Wednesday–Sunday. Walk-in, no reservation. Casual dress code. Authentic regional preparations rather than Tex-Mex resort standards. Limited to five nights per week — same scheduling constraint as La Luce.

International Buffet
International buffet, three meals, no reservation.
