   The food and service were very good. But not worth coming back to for the price, given all the other options in the area.

   We had an early reservation last night at this wonderful undiscovered gem. From start (two kinds of baked oysters - chipotle bourbon were the bomb), to finish (marzipan ice cream), this chef knows how to cook! Fresh fish dominate the menu with stand out’s including black cod and ahi tuna served with sun choke purée. We are from Sonoma county and the food here rivals that area. Service was helpful and excellent. Don’t miss this little charmer!

   The reviews weren’t correct for our experience. I had the braised short ribs. They weren’t worth the price. They weren’t tender and I’m used to short ribs falling off the bone. My husband had the sole, which he enjoyed. We did our enjoy our michelades.

   First time at this restaurant. Great service. Excellent food. A bit spartan decor-wise but the food and service will have us coming back.

   The service was friendly and efficient. The food was outstanding! Well, executed and artfully done. We had Dungeness ceviche with homemade corn tortilla chips on a bed of guacamole, and a huge cioppino with the perfect fennel broth and lots of seafood and shellfish. Excellent warmed baguette from Fort Bragg bakery. Lovely homemade Meyer lemon tart for dessert. We highly recommend this restaurant.

   We were a party of 10 with a reservation at 7pm. We were not seated until close to 7:30. The staff were not very apologetic about the wait and didn’t offer us a glass of wine at really anything at all. They could have handled the delay better. Otherwise the food was great, but the service a bit slow. We did not get out of the restaurant until close to 10 pm.

    Good food but the service was slow and somewhat lacking. I had the Petrole entree, with rock cod substituted for petrole (they were out of the petrole), but it ws very good. Cioppino was in a lite tomato broth and quite good. Chowder was non-traditional but also good, with mussels and clams in the shell in a light broth. The Little Gem salad is a nice take on a Ceasar. Bread was delicious, but we had to ask for it. They could have gotten us our drinks more promptly; we ended up waiting quite a while after being seated before we received anything.

    The food is terrific! Service was great. We came on our 44th anniversary and I was a little disappointed that they didn't do anything special for us, no complimentary dessert or glass of sparkling wine, nothing to thank us for spending our special evening with them. I have recommended KW Saltwater Grill to several of my friends but it would really make a difference if they made our anniversary more special.

    We wouldn't change a single thing about the food, AND we'll be back to work our way through the whole menu. We especially appreciated Chef Kristy Johnson's innovative approach to clam chowder -- most chowders use heavy cream as a crutch, and that obliterates the other flavors, plus you can feel your arteries hardening by the third bite. This "Smoke Fish Chowder" had a distinctive flavor, and plenty of richness without the stultifying, heart-stopping heavy cream overdose. Plus, it had both clams and mussels tantalizing, as well as perfectly cooked chunks of potato, skin on, that you could actually taste, and just-sweet onions. It was pure heaven. I insisted, to my partner's surprise, that we take home the remaining three tablespoonsful, because I didn't waste a single drop.

    The KW Saltwater Grill was absolutely marvelous. The staff was extremely attentive and wonderfully pleasant. The food was exceptional in taste and presentation. The drink menu, while not overly extensive, offered enough choice for us. The dessert menu should satisfy any sweet tooth. Would we return? In a minute.

    It was ok. I definitely wouldn’t go again or reccomend anyone go. Servings incredibly small and for being so close to the ocean didn’t seem all that fresh(all we had was seafood). Looking closer at my ceviche the tomatoes were diced as usual, and we’re cut with the sticker from the store still on, and then served to me in my food. Not appetizing. And the server seemed to walk away while we were talking multiple times. The oysters were ok, and when we asked for horseradish curls, we’re given dried out bland flakes that closer resembled minced garlic left on the table with the lid open for a week then strong pungent moist horseradish.

    starting off on a good note, food was good. the sole fish was phenomenal. but that’s the only nice thing i have to say. our waitress was NOT attentive AT ALL. she barely spoke to us, checked on my table twice but chatted with tables around us. im going to preface that the restaurant wasn’t that busy. i would’ve understood if it had been busy but it definitely wasn’t. we had reservations at 7 and didn’t get to order drinks until 720, they didn’t come until 745 and food came out after 8.. it was very expensive and in my opinion NOT worth it. save your money and go probably anywhere else. don’t waste your time with horrible service, the not nice waitress and pay a ridiculous amount of money for it.

    It was great food and wait staff. The service was excellent let me tell you. Supreme service, definitely would go back. Food was above par and were able to answer all my questions about the seafood. I also have a avocado allergy that they were very carful with. We had all the oysters and they were excellent. I had the halibut and would highly recommend. My husband had the special of soft shell crab and it was wonderful. Highly recommend this restaurant!!!

    Seafood chowder was a meal in itself w lots of fresh clams and mussels. Salad was good but over dressed. Scallops dish included 4 day boat scallops w fresh squid ink pasta. Black cod dish seemed confused lots of different flavors that didn’t seem to come together. Restaurant has great potential. Maybe just an off night

    Not kid friendly! No kids menu at all so unless your kids like seafood it don’t go. Also the menu online was completely different to the menu when we were there. I ended up with an appetizer and ended up getting food later somewhere else.
