    The service and food delivery was not good. One person got their meal first, then the other 2 got their meals about 10 or 15 minutes later. They did not make the fourth person’s meal correctly and she had to wait an additional 15 minutes. It was not busy. The did give the fourth person a free dessert.

    I enjoyed the beet salad with grilled shrimp and the grapefruit cocktail. I wish there was a gluten free bread option. Had to supplement my meal at the grocery store. Brie was a very good waitress.

    Major Disappointment-- Our friends really loved their experience at Saltus River Grill so we were especially disappointed. We started with a Caesar Salad that was insipid -- too little dressing, a smattering of cheese, lovely anchovies on top -- but slugging thro just one forkful of plain greens was not fun. Our $39 tuna was simply slices on tuna on a plate with no additions. The wasabi sauce requested was a solid pellet of something green. The server might have explained that entrees don't come with anything else on the plate.

    Great serve and wonderful food. A bit noisy as usual. Was disappointed the scallops have been removed from the menu. That was my Husband’s favorite dish.

    Saltus River Grill has always been our favorite restaurant in Beaufort since it opened. It is very consistent, lovely place with beautiful outside patio on the Beaufort River with a wood firing going. Love the long L-shaped bar with very comfy stools with back. Excellent menu selection. Cannot beat the fried shrimp offered in 1/4, 1/2, or full pound - the very best way to eat Carolina shrimp. Wedge salad is always a winner and comes in half portion or full size. Love the sushi offerings. Last evening was incredibly noisey, much higher noise level than usual. Probably due to Beaufort Film Festival happening. But, we’ll always go back and enjoy dinner for two at a table or at the bar.

    Food was outstanding! Service at the table was very good. Service at the bar was a bit sluggish. Overall, we highly recommend.
