About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Opening our doors in 1993, Salmon Dave’s has proudly endured as one of Greater Cleveland’s favorite local haunts. With an informal approach to upscale dining, our cozy neighborhood spot has gained a legendary reputation. After a recent head-to-toe renovation, Rocky River’s favorite restaurant is better than ever. The timeless character of the historic building lives on with distressed brick walls, crown moldings, and its signature mahogany bar. The updated feel is an eclectic balance of traditional and contemporary design elements, creating the perfect backdrop for Salmon Dave’s spirited bar scene and relaxed dinner vibe. Veteran chef Mario Brown and his talented culinary team offer new menu selections alongside fan-favorites, maintaining our promise of providing the freshest “Guaranteed Seafood.”

    Always a wonderful experience at Salman Daves. Only complaint is would be great if you could add more snack type food on the appetizers to round out the menu. A cheese board or a low carb flat bread could be nice. Also some healthier side options, more vegetables.

    Pan roasted salmon was delicious. The green beans were hit and miss some good some bad risotto did not have a lot of lobster flavor. But when all said and done, I would order the dish again.

    service was excellent, food brought out swiftly and hot. I am gluten free and they were very accommodating and tweaked featured dishes to be gluten free. Lobster bisque is to die for like always. Can’t wait to be back

    Always 5 stars! My only gripe is I wish your bar would stay open later.

    Always great food, drinks and especially service at Salmon Dave's. My guest enjoyed the halibut special which was great. I tried the lobster and shrimp cappelinni for the first time, but it will certainly not be the last.

    Waitress was in a hurry to get us in and out. Made reservation denoting our anniversary however they didn’t read what I wrote to open table. Bottle of wine was poured at initial opening and never again by my waitress. Water in the bottle at the table was not cold. The halibut was good however was very dry…had to have been sitting under the lamps for a while. Making reservations on a Tuesday @ 5:30 should not earn a seat next to the kitchen; especially for a special occasion
