    Oysters were delicious. Mango cart beer was good and fruity. Casamigos Blanco tequila was good. Calamari Fritti could've been crispier, but the hot cherry peppers were very good. The Pan Roasted New England Scallops were seared perfectly on a bed of sunchoke puree with greens on top and a charred leek vinaigrette. The Crab Fried Rice side was more of a risotto short/medium-grain rice with too much hardness. A fluffier long-grain rice would offer a better mouth feel and compliment the crab meat. The San Francisco Style Cioppino had tiny mussels, an unpleasant herbed tomato soup (maybe tomato paste was burned), and the grilled sourdough was too tough.

    The energy was upbeat and fun, a fun scene for Cherry Creek. Michael, our waiter was excellent. The food was uninspiring except for sliders, they were outstanding. The bar was extremely slow.

    Waited 1 hour to get seated and another to get food. Overpriced but good food. Very loud atmosphere. More like a club vibe.

    Place is more like a night club than a restaurant. Took too long to get drinks, food is subpar and over priced, felt like we were being rushed by the waitstaff and the music is so loud you can’t talk to anyone. Left hungry after a huge bill, walked to Cherry Cricket for a burger after.

    Our waiter Michael/Mike was great. However that’s where the greatness ended. The drinks were good but weak. The food was ok but not great therefore not a great value. This was certainly a nice outing but just not worth the price charged.

    I went out for my anniversary expecting a great time, it was far from that, The hostess wasn’t very friendly and made the whole experience uncomfortable the waiter Micheal was very pleasant and did a good job but the food was not up to par my anniversary was ruined I tried to have a good time but I didn’t get the experience or treatment I hoped for just common human decency and food to be worth the price and it was not I was very distraught and disappointed

    Beautiful space with a seaside vibe, nice and professional front of house staff. We were one of two tables in for brunch, and I was shocked to see the prices. I gulped and gasped and pretended to be rich and ordered a $31 avocado toast. The cheapest thing on the menu is $18 ceasar salad with no protein. After 30 min we asked our server if the good was ready, she said no, but it would be soon, the chefs made a mistake. I really don't think they knew how to make the toast... she ran back to the kitchen with the menu. The food came out after 40 min. Two TINY circles of geasy maybe brioche? Smashed avocado loaded with raw onion and a burnt fried egg on top. It tasted just ok, but insanely over priced for the value. No apologies from the manager for the delay (at this point, we were the only table there), laughter from the kitchen so at least they were having fun. Save your egg money and go elsewhere for brunch!

    Exceptional Service & Delicious Food at Saltwater Social I had an amazing experience at Saltwater Social, and a huge part of that was thanks to Tim! From the moment we walked in, his warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for a fantastic meal. His knowledge of the menu, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made our visit truly special. The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was a testament to the high-quality ingredients and expert preparation. Whether you’re looking for a casual bite or a memorable dining experience, Saltwater Social delivers on every level. Tim’s exceptional service made all the difference, and I can’t recommend this place enough. Looking forward to coming back soon! Tim and Neil have sex appeal!

    From start to finish, our experience was unbelievable! The hostess was so friendly and sat us immediately and then our server, Brandon checked in on us just enough and our drinks were never empty. The steak and crab and pasta were so incredible and the desserts and cocktails were perfect. I would highly recommend and will be going back this month! I can’t wait to have dinner or HH there again!
