    We had the most lovely dinner with a view at Salty’s on recommendation of a local friend. The calamari is phenomenal and crab cakes were just ok. I wish they included bread for the price point. I had the Steelhead and really loved it, other diners in our party had the clam chowder and scallops and also said they were great. We were, unfortunately, too full for dessert. Service was excellent and the view was everything we were looking forward to.

    A Magical Birthday at A Stir We celebrated a birthday at A Stir with a group of 10, including friends with dietary restrictions like Celiac, dairy and alcohol allergies, vegan, and vegetarian diets. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and our server made our large group feel like an intimate table. Everyone loved their food and beverages—no one felt left out. The flavors, quality, and care were outstanding, creating a truly magical experience for our guest of honor. The atmosphere added to the magic, creating the perfect backdrop for our celebration. It truly felt like a special occasion, and our guest of honor couldn’t stop raving about how perfect everything was. A Stir is a must-visit for anyone looking for impeccable food, outstanding service, and an inclusive dining experience. We can’t wait to return!

    Everyone from the host to all the servers were all very friendly & accommodating. Food was good, our party of 4 had smash burger, grilled cheese, pulled pork sandwich & the turkey club. Got us in & out within an hour just in time for the Christmas show at the stadium. Great location for events at the stadium with 2 hours parking complimentary. Only issue was that it was a little bright inside, wish the lights had been dimmed.
