About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Opening our doors in 1993, Salmon Dave’s has proudly endured as one of Greater Cleveland’s favorite local haunts. With an informal approach to upscale dining, our cozy neighborhood spot has gained a legendary reputation. After a recent head-to-toe renovation, Rocky River’s favorite restaurant is better than ever. The timeless character of the historic building lives on with distressed brick walls, crown moldings, and its signature mahogany bar. The updated feel is an eclectic balance of traditional and contemporary design elements, creating the perfect backdrop for Salmon Dave’s spirited bar scene and relaxed dinner vibe. Veteran chef Mario Brown and his talented culinary team offer new menu selections alongside fan-favorites, maintaining our promise of providing the freshest “Guaranteed Seafood.”

    The food is always excellent and Sarah our server was on top of her game. The newly redesigned space is louder with the tile floor and not as cozy as the old decor but we under the need to change. It’s consistently our go to place with out of town guests.

    Salmon Daves was perfect! I had their special which was sockeye salmon and it was delicious. The Salmon was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. My husband had the pasta with shrimp and lobster and it was also very good. The restaurant was quiet and comfortable. And our server Wes was the best. We had a great time and will definitely go back!
