   Visited Salt Water Social on a Sunday night & first impression was upscale, blue, underwater vibes! The way they tied the room together with their menu was the perfect touch. The food was amazing we had the surf & turf & the steak melted in my mouth it was one of the best steaks I’ve had in a while! Service was great we were checked on by multiple employees not just our server. They had a party going on at one of the tables under a huge blue chandler, it was such a vibe the aesthetic of the place is photo worthy especially for bdays! They played a mix of hip hop & old-school music, right up my ally sang the dinner away. Definitely a place I’ll be back to visit soon!

   Salt Water Social in Cherry Creek exceeded all of our expectations! Our waiter was incredibly thorough, fun, and attentive, making the entire experience feel special. The drinks were creative and delicious, adding an extra layer of excitement to the meal. The food was absolutely incredible—the truffle pasta was out of this world, and we couldn’t get enough of the tuna appetizer. Both dishes were perfectly prepared and full of flavor. This spot has such a fun and vibrant atmosphere, perfect for celebrating with friends or enjoying a romantic date night. I highly recommend Salt Water Social and can’t wait to return!

   Our group of 4 enjoyed a fun night out with incredible dishes. I’m a huge dirty martini girl and they have the best dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives and I would definitely recommend getting a caviar bump with it! We loved all the dishes but our favorites were the caviar pizza and the New York strip with truffle butter. The spicy yellowtail crisp rice is perfect to get for the table but really the food was so good you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Cannot wait to go back for a special occasion or happy hour.

   Had a beautiful double date to celebrate the engagement of my husbands and my friends. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted, promptly seated, our table was candlelit and set elegantly. The fresh sour dough to start was delightful, our first round of drinks came out quickly and were delicious, I had the sirens kiss and the lollipop garnish was delightful. Quicker than it was set down we finished eating up the caviar pizza topped with fresh chives it was so good. The third appetizer I shared was the spicy yellow tail crispy rice and I can easily say next time I go back I will order a whole one to myself. For one of the mains I was thoroughly enjoyed each bite of the Mermaid Surf and Turf, the shrimp was perfect. This is my second time devouring the Mushroom and Truffle Rigatoni, what can I say I just love a perfect pairing which is exactly what our server Chan did when he brought over our red wine. Nothing can top ending the evening to a live ambient dj, with espresso martinis and the Cheesecake Cone dessert. I know this wont be the final time I will be booking a reservation. So far for a babes night out, and for a celebration dinner Saltwater Social does not disappoint they understand the assignment.

   Saltwater Social is a nice addition to the restaurant choices in Cherry Creek. The service and food were excellent. The vibe feels juxtaposed between hip/cool/sports bar (all the tvs)/loud AND fine dining menu. The environment might even feel a little sterile, dare I say cheap. It’s missing the intimate warmth that usually accompanies a menu like theirs. Our particular table was directly under a vent so our candle wouldn’t stay lit and no fewer than 6 times someone bumped into my chair where I was sitting scooted up to my table. We even moved our table over a few inches to try to get out of the path of people walking behind me. Menu highlights: Sourdough bread is delicious; yellowtail appetizer (we were expecting slices, but it was actually like a pate and was fabulous); Salmon Wellington is a work of art. If we return we’d just sit at the bar, that looked like the fun spot.

   Having some mixed experiences at STK, I was a bit nervous trying this restaurant, once I learned of the connection that Salt Water has with that brand through the owner(s) and executive team. The drinks were good, very good even, and the wine I chose was also good. One of the first disappointments was that the dishes we had that contained the seafood, were lackluster and forgettable. The clsm chowder was similar in quality to Campbell's, and the lobster mac and cheese was a miss. The cheese was congealed and clumpy, noodles not coated, and lobster flavor lost. Noodles overcooked and dish was missing something texture-wise. For the price and seafood prominence, these should have been outstanding. There were other disappointments, such as the fries missing their special sauce, and lamb that was tough and lacking flavor. The highpoint, and the hope of getting better, is the service. Katie was an amazing server and wanted our feedback. Allison, a manager, few stressed the newness of both restaurant and concept, while wanting details about making things better. Their passion and effort made me believe that SWS will find its stride. I would be willing to try again with such dedication and passion for the restaurant.

    Pretty inside this new restaurant. Looks very similar to STK San Diego but food not as good. It’s supposed to be focused on seafood and the restaurant has seafood decor but a lot more meat on the menu than seafood. Twice the waiter said the food didn’t contain certain ingredients and twice he came back and corrected himself. I have food allergies. The waiter staff was nice & accommodating but not so knowledgeable. The Branzino had bones in it which is a surprise for a fish restaurant. The bar was crowded and hopping. The prices were on the expensive side. I would go back but would order meat and not seafood. I would rate it as expensive and decent. Not fabulous!
