Food was good, but not over the top which I would expect given the high price point of Saltwater Social. Did I mention high prices, yeah, I get it, dining out has inflated dramatically over the past couple of years, but SS sets a new high price point for the area. Additionally, portions are very small: calamari thinly covered 2/3 of serving dish, my serving of sea bass was maybe 5 oz, wine pours by the glass 5 oz, it just feels like they are cutting corners every where, The ambience, while nice, feels a bit like a high end road side diner. No plans to return.

The staff is not only so nice, welcoming, and professional, but they know the menu, flavors, recommendations, and do their job with excellence! The atmosphere is updated and trendy with a classy touch! The food is amazing with so many wonderful flavors. We ordered apps from the happy hour menu to start. The tasters were so yummy and the espresso martini was the best we have ever had. Great wine selection! ( great happy hour menu and prices). The dinner menu is filled with tasty choices and it is hard to decide. I had the mushroom pasta and loved it. Pasta was cooked to perfection. Will be returning soon to try the other great menu options. Thank you for the awesome birthday experience. Definitely our new favorite venue in Cherry Creek!!

Christian was our waiter and was perfectly attentive without being overbearing. He made suggestions through each part of the menu, and we went with several of them - yellowtail and crispy rice as an app is a must, and the Chilean sea bass entree was amazing. His service made a good meal great. The food and cocktails were very enjoyable across the board. My father-in-law even identified the side of stir fry veggies as a standout despite he and my husband being mostly steak and potato guys. We’ll definitely be back!

The staff was so friendly and informative right out of the gate. The menu has a great variety of dishes and we tried a bit of everything. My favorite was the crab fried rice! My husband loved the sliders. But honestly everything was super tasty. It also isn’t just a sea food place FYI. We also really liked their mocktail selection! Overall, Saltwater Social is a fantastic place to eat!
