   Our Waiter was very good and professional, but the Second Waiter that helped us was named CARSON, and he was absolutely outstanding. I would go back to the restaurant solely based on his service. He was friendly, outgoing, warm, and made us really feel welcome, and after watching him for a while, you could see his energy and charisma are very real. We were there celebrating my 92 year old Mother's Birthday, and he really added something special! I hope he gets promoted and recognized for his being an amazing ambassador for the restaurant, he was truly the BEST. I will come back, knowing that he is there to make the next experience memorable too! SIX Stars! Rob Andreasen

   Had a wonderful evening at Salt Creek Grill! Good crowd. I haven't been there since they reopened. The decor was swanky and classy. There was live music in the bar that sounded great. Thank goodness they kept their big booths. Our service was outstanding, drinks were tasty and the food was absolutely delicious! Three of us ordered cioppino and one got the baby back ribs. Everyone LOVED their meals. I personally had the cioppino and it was SO SO amazing! I would highly recommend going to Salt Creek Grill.

   The Artichoke Appetizer is simply outstanding. The best I have ever had. I will be back to have more! Our server, Abby was extremely knowledgeable both about the food and the wine selections.

   Great ambiance and service. The food is delicious! I had the lychee martini, filet and mashed potatoes. The best mashed potatoes I have ever had! The rotisserie chicken is also delicious and the green beans have an Asian flair.

   This is a rare negative review for us, as we are typically quite easygoing. However, our recent experience at your restaurant was significantly below expectations and, at over $285, we feel compelled to share our feedback. Firstly, both our main courses were disappointing. The Sea Bass was dry, and the Ribeye was overcooked and lacked tenderness (ordered medium rare + and came closer to well done). Secondly, the house specialty artichoke was also overdone, resulting in a tough, almost inedible dish with very little actual artichoke heart. While the wine and salad were enjoyable, it was the only highlight of our meal. Overall, the quality of the food did not justify the price point. We hope this feedback is taken constructively to improve the dining experience for future guests. Maybe it was an off night. Best regards

   Food is great. A bit pricey but lets face it, it is 2025. We were extremely satisfied. Will be back. Too expensive to be a regular.

   The service was a bit slow. This was possibly due to our large party.
