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.”

    Steak & lobster plate was great. Sockeye salmon was exceptional. Lobster bisque was thick with lobster chuncks. Each entree had rice with lobster bits in it. Very special presentation of plated food. It was Fathers Day and our entrees were delayed. Because of the delay they offered a crème brûlée for dessert as compensation for the delay. That is good business practice in their part. We left happy and full of delicious food.

    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.
