About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood 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.”

    The greeters were great and seated me right away. Our waitress was very attentive and polite. The fried green tomatos were small in portion but tasty. The gumbo had a burnt flavor but we exchange it for the shrimp which was ok. The entree of Salmon was great the Grouper was kinda cold but ok.

    We were celebrating my husbands birthday and had gift certificates for a number of restaurants. My husband frequently spent time there with his boss back when he was working. So he suggested that we should go there for his birthday. Our server "Bird" was great. The restaurant was crowded because of Mardi Gras and loud. We ask if we could have a quieter area. So they put us in a very nice place by our selves. We could tell it was going mix-up their servers but they said, no problem. Our food was great and they brought my husband a wonderful dessert cream brûlée. We will definitely go back.

    It was a great time - until the manager told us we were taking too much time at our table (after only an hour from receipt of our first course in a three course meal - we had just received our coffee with desert). She asked us if we would move to the bar - and stand. No chairs were available. That way the couple who was waiting could take our table. Never been asked this before and I suspect it was because we were two women dining and not a couple or group of four. I think we were an easy target for this request.

    Very loud party in the room next to our table. Didn’t go to Cabin Club because of the noise level over there. Still enjoyed the great food and service.

    It was our first time being there and we all loved it! We will definitely be back again. The waitress Bridget (Bird) was very attentive and friendly.
