    Best customer service between our server Brandon and the manager Don. The restaurant was decorated so beautifully for Christmas! What a magical experience.

    We understand that it was Christmas Eve and it was busy but our $68 steaks came out cold and they didn’t even give us clean plates or silverware and when we would ask which was 4 times it never happened until we finally asked to talk to the manager. She put in another order and it took forever to get and the steaks had no flavor and the same with the mash potatoes. They didn’t even give give us free dessert to try to make it better but over all I will not be recommend ing this place. It was sad because out of all the places we could have picked to go for our Xmas Eve dinner we wanted to try Salt Creek since they just reopened.

    We were here Christmas Eve and the service was excellent. We enjoyed the bacon wrapped shrimp as an appetizer. The seabass was delicious and my husband and sons enjoyed the coffee crusted steak.

    Amazing service and food. We were celebrating our daughter and son in-law’s 10th anniversary. The waiter brought a complimentary champagne toast. Also a complimentary dessert and the restaurant musician made a celebratory announcement and played a song for them.

    The food was excellent, the servers tried but they need to be trained better. It is the little things that matter in customer service and they missed fundamentals. No salt and Pepper on the table, food delivery and little things. On major complaint is that the olives weren’t firm they were soft.

    We’ve been coming to Salt Creek Grille since 2005. The new owners have really brought it back to BEYOND what it ever was. Food, service, ambiance, and management were superb. Thank you, SCG, we love you!
