Cajun scallops were over salty, seemed like they were cut in 1/2 as well, rice bland, veggies bland. Partners mango stir fry was mushy greens, mushrooms and carrots. Menu offers beets on salad for$3, my partner was denied this in his house salad. Used to be better years ago. Seems like they're offering to much and need to choose a path.

Went to dinner for Valentine’s Day with my husband. We were seated upstairs in what appear to be a concerted attic -dining space. It was very cold and didn’t appear to have heat up there. Took 40 minutes to get our appetizer. Steak was over cooked and had no flavor. Our waitress was amazing, I just wish the experience matched the great service we received.

We go here every year for Valentine’s Day and every year we ask ourselves why? At this point it’s a tradition that we don’t want to break. We get sat upstairs where there are no decorations literally it looks like a place to store tables and tons of cob webs and it’s like a finished attic but not in a cool way. This year the food was a little better. Drinks are sub par. The only thing really great is the Tower which is raw seafood it is worth dealing with everything else. It is a small place where you long to feel known or appreciated instead of just another table that needs to be turned over.

Everything we ordered was excellent
and the service was great 👍.
The meals ( appetizers, soup, salad) came out perfectly timed- never rushed.

This was our first time at Saltwater Grille. I made a reservation for a Valentine’s Day dinner. My boyfriend wanted surf and turf and I wanted seafood. We definitely got exactly what we were looking for and more. The food was delicious. Service was great. The ambiance was wonderful too. We had no idea of what to expect when we arrived. We left very pleased, pleasantly satisfied!

Area he sat was not very good upstairs cold no atmosphere

Great meal. Excellent service

We were seated immediately and our server seemed to know when we were ready for her right away.
Amazing food and service!

It is a nice place. The food was good, the service was good and the prices are reasonable. They have a Gluten Free menu too!

The wait staff was cheery and efficient.
The food was delicious. We had two meals that were the specials of the evening. Both seafood dishes. The oysters and shrimp cocktail to start were amazing. The scallop and shrimp dish was an excellent choice as well. But the best was the desert brownie.
We suggest a table by the fireplace with a glass of wine.

Highly recommend!

Excellent food, great service!

Ordered the Tuna. It was cut way too think and was plopped on a unappetizing soup of a sauce that was way too thick and congealed. I’ll stick to my favorites there, the Fish & Chips and the steak.

Came for date night with my husband and am already looking forward to coming back! My husband had the duck special and I had the grilled shrimp and lobster tail dinner, which were both great! Our waitress, Dana, was the sweetest!

The food here is consistently fresh, arranged with a flair and delicious! This was our second visit for a wine dinner and each item is unique, yet always pleasing to our varied tastes. Compliments to the owners, chef and staff for providing a wonderful experience!

We sat outside due to Covid which was fine - but there was zero decorations or ambience on the outdoor patio. Literally nothing. tables and chairs, that's it.
The food was good but not amazing. Our server was excellent.

Service was slow, and the food was just ok. Don’t think I would go back

After a long day of hiking, the food was excellent. Many of us had the AHI Tuna which was minimally cooked as advertised with a nice pineapple topping, and the Halibut special was done just right. Crab cake appetizer had a nice sweet potato crust. The special cocktails were very tasty, particularly the spicy Margarita and the local blueberry vodka martini. The service was friendly and timely.

Great atmosphere- sat inside but outside looked really nice, served by owner who was very nice. Wait staff super nice, good food, nice date night out - would 100% go back

We love going here, the food is wonderful, the staff is friendly. We usually do a couple appetizers and a salad with of course a cocktail or two. We can’t wait for their happy hour to return....

A Dinner during Covid has different standards. We ate indoors because it was quite chilly outside and we felt quite safe, except for our server, whose mask kept falling below her nose. She was definitely the low point of our evening. She had no charm, was inattentive and inefficient.
The food was quite good. We started with the tuna and it was lovely. Our entree was the salmon with spinach and Parmesan ( we both had the same thing) and it was well-prepared, though it was heavy for me.
All in all a decent evening, as it was a birthday, it did not rise to the occasion.

Very good food and excellent service in a cozy environment.

Just ok. Waitress disinterested in my food allergies. Pulling teeth to have her ask the kitchen if they had items
I could eat.

I’m sure it was Covid related but this was not a good experience. We were seated around 6:15 and didn’t get our dinners until 8pm. The dinners were cold, we had to send my sons’s Duck entree back because it was inedible. They offered to bring something else but we had waited so long for our dinners we just wanted to leave and stopped at McDonalds because he was starving. my swordfish special was tasteless and the baked potato and vegetables were cold. This was not inexpensive either!

Service was slow, but I can imagine that servers are just getting back up to speed with renewed COVID service...they also have a greater distance to cover with tables being spaced out.

The hawaiian plate was great, as were the oysters. The fried artichokes need some work. The artichoke interior was mushy and the outer batter did not have any flavor.

We did ask for inside seating on our reservation, and did not bring jackets. We were seated in the porch, which was okay. It was enrobed in plastic, but the doors had spaces on top where air was let in. They did have small heaters, so it was warm enough. But, I would have preferred indoors.

Great food and drink

Would recommend the crabcakes and stuff sole.

Enjoyed eating dinner outside next to a comfy gas heater. Oysters and a glass of French rose. Perfect.

Exceptional meal

The food was excellent. We had ahi tuna, salmon and oysters. And the wait staff were great. Planning on returning because the food was so good. Unfortunately the atmosphere/ambiance was a little strange. Not sure if it was due to COVID but the layout inside was cut up and the lighting was bad. Outside was a lot better but obviously that won’t work in Winter. Next time I’ll get a high top in the bar area and not have expectations for a “romantic” dinner.

Very Good experience, wait staff friendly and helpful. Nice relaxing music. The only negative was the fish wasn't cooked all the way and had to go back to finish cooking.

We sat for about 15/20 minutes before anyone even came over to us and that was only because I grabbed one of the servers to let them know no one had been over to us. Food was ok nothing spectacular and I put online reservation that it was my anniversary- overall pretty disappointed and won’t be back

Always tasteful and well served. Being outside right now is a plus

It took 40 minutes to get our appetizer which was shrimp cocktail. Other patrons came in after us ordered got their appetizers and salads before we got our appetizer. The food is very good just our wages seemed frazzled and unintentive. We skipped dessert basically because we didn't have the time to wait. We had it over an hour ride just to get home

The food and service were excellent. Lacks a little in the atmosphere category but we will definitely be back.

Great food and service

Lovely place that always feels very welcome and friendly while you still get a fine dining experience. A favorite of ours!

The blackened swordfish was amazing! The service was excellent and I'll definitely go back!

We enjoyed the wine, food, impeccable service and ambiance! This restaurant consistently delivers in every aspect. Bravo!!!

The Saltwater Grill is one of our favorite restaurants. We now live in FL but always make a point of having dinner there whenever we are back in CT.
