    Waiter was non attentive and showed no interest in waiting on us. His customer service was one of the worst I I’ve ever experienced. It took 40 minutes for us to be able to order which made us rush because we had a show to go to at 8am. The food was okay. But my wife’s mushroom risotto was over cooked and her appetizer came out at the same time as her meal. My first and last time to come to this restaurant. Thanks but no thanks!

    We enjoyed drinks and appetizers off the Happy Hour menu. The fondue, tostado and orange shrimp were really good. We enjoyed the Parmesan grilled oysters and Big as- crab cake off the main menu also. Everything was great but the parking is limited and pricey.

    Too noisy to hold a conversation. Set next to the storage closet that was constantly being opened. Waitress was great. Food good.

    Kenna was awesome! Our first visit to Saltwater Grill but not our last. Off menu shrimp cocktail was perfection, hubby had the almond coconut shrimp which was also amazing. Great cocktails too.
