    We really enjoyed our meal here! We went to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and we’re so happy we picked this place. Our service was great! Jenn was amazing. For food & drinks, we got a glass of wine and an old fashioned. We also got lobster bisque and calamari. Easily some of the best calamari I’ve had! Don’t get me started on how incredible the bread and HONEY butter were. I’m GF and ate way too much but it was 110% worth it. For entrees we got the cedar plank salmon and the clam fettuccine. Both were delicious! Our waitress surprised us with crème brûlée for dessert, and it was easily the best we’ve ever had! I can’t wait to go back.

    I was very impressed with everything from the service to the quality of the food! It’s the first time I’ve been back since they remodeled. I didn’t mind the old look but the new decor looks nice too. Our server was excellent. She provided us with suggestions and was pleasant and professional. I had the cod dinner and my friend had filet Oscar. We both enjoyed our meals. Noise level was just fine even with how busy they were. I would suggest making a reservation because they fill up. This was a great experience and I can’t wait to return!

    We love the annual Main Bake at Salmon Daves, we go every year and always have excellent service and wonderful food. The lobster tails were especially good this year. The potatoes wedges are as much a highlight of the meal as the clams and lobster - the best.

    My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Salmon Dave’s on Sunday evening. Sarah gave us great service and the food was 5 star. The lobster bisque is the best in the city and the lobster tail was done perfectly. Totally recommend this restaurant.

    The best seafood I have ever had. We had Fluke, Cod, and Walleye. Each person said it was the best they have ever eaten. Service was great , Wes did a great job in spite of being short handed. The atmosphere was wonderful as well. It is nice to dine in a restaurant where the chef and staff care about there craft. Great job

    Great dinner at Salmon Dave's. We make a point of coming for the annual Maine Event clam bakes every year. The lobster tail was especially good this year and the potato wedges are always seasoned to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Half a chicken, corn on the cob and of course the clams complete the meal. We also had a nice creme Brule for dessert. Service is always good and a nice way to spend a Sunday evening.

    I ordered the lobster bake, everything was good except for the roasted chicken, I took it home because I was already stuffed, went to heat up this morning only to find out when slicing it the meat is uncooked, skin looked pale, meat was bloody, it’s pretty raw, don’t know how it was served like that

He brought everything with perfect timing and was aware of our needs before we were! We had a really great overall experience and will definitely be back.

    Everything is great! Even the steaks! If you order the pan fried salmon with the lobster risotto, I suggest getting the lobster veloute on the side. Although delicious, it's very rich.

    My party look forward to "the Maine event" each year, this was no exception. GREAT food. The chicken was a little dry, overdone. The remodeling lightens and energizes the atmosphere. Our server Jennifer remembered us from another time, felt very welcoming. They still offered our favorite wine! Great night! We do this to remember our 4th member. Thank You for contributing to our memories!!! See you again soon!

    The menu had a great selection with numerous unique seafood dishes. The food was well prepared and was very good. The service was as expected for this type restaurant. We had 1/2 dozen oysters, Shared a Cesar wedge salad, Lobster tail dinner, Cedar Plank Salmon dinner , shared a desert along with a 2 single wines. Total was $158 plus a 20% tip so was a little pricey.
