   I was disappointed with our experience. It was an average service experience. The appetizers were great. We had Tuna tower and chop salad. The filet entree was very average. It was a disappointing steak. I will most likely not return. Overall experience was disappointing.

   Beautiful new decor, pleasant live music and good food. I had the lamb chopped salad and green beans all very good. My husband had the Chilean sea bass and it was blah. He was disappointed .

   The "old" Salt Creek was incapable of providing a decent meal. That's obviously why it went under new ownership. And the transformation is amazing. I had the Beef Stroganoff and Wedge salad, my wife had the short rib plate and they were both delicious. Sterling, our waiter should have been named GOLD instead of Sterling, he was perfect and attentive. If the rest of the food on the menu holds up and no reason to think it won't, we will be regulars here. Don, the General Manager was also quite welcoming and gracious.

   Our server Tommy was great! He was friendly. He checked on us but did not hoover and provided good recommendations. Food was delicious. The short rib beignets were excellent, as were the coffee crusted NY and Ribeye. The butter cake was very decadent! Overall good experience, it does get very noisy though.

    Not impressed with new Salt Creek Grille. Made a reservation and had to wait 25 mins to be seated when it wasn't very busy at time of arrival. Service was slow upon sitting down and we had to ask manager to help get us drinks. Food order was brought out incorrect. Halibut was overcooked. Kids ranch sides never came to table and we had to ask two times to get. Christmas tree was carried through restaurant in middle of dinner and setup in reception next to where our table was. Receptionists giggling and laughing with xmas tree guys and being loud and inconsiderate of our dinner table right there. Server was very friendly and nice but service overall was poor with the mistakes and how long we waited in beginning.
