Cool atmosphere and friendly staff! They make you feel like they're your friends and each on of them helped each other out with refills and checking on customers! Now the food is flavorful we ordered some fries that came with sweet onion, pavolene cheese, and bacon sauce. Now warning if you can handle FLAVOR this is not your place! We also ordered the steak with grilled shrimp and a wine glaze. Paired with mash potatoes and green beans. The steak was cooked just as we wanted, the glaze was a bit to much after a while but it could be the appetizer filled us a bit. The shrimp was not the best I will say It just tasted to charred for me. I Can't wait to come back and try something else because I was not disappointed. read more

Hubby and I went on a dinner date here while traveling to Salina. I had the ribeye special and he has the fried chicken. We both loved our meal. I recommend the Flowerita if you are up for a cocktail. The atmosphere was awesome and the wait staff was great! Easy 5 star here! read more

I can't rate the food because the service was so horrid we left. The server was bartender, hostess and waitress. The place was empty when we entered. We had to wait for the server to finish her conversation with the cook before she acknowledged us, telling us we could sit anywhere except the one dirty table. Another couple came in and was served their drinks before us, then the server asked if she could clean a table for another couple that came in while she was mixing drinks for the 2nd table. Again, it had been an empty restaurant with only one dirty table. I was so underwhelmed by her service, we chose to find another place for lunch. After reading the reviews, I am glad we left. read more

We recently enjoyed a great dinner here. We were seating right away, and our server was on top of everything. We both wound up having Waygu Meatloaf. If it's a special when you visit....do it. Serving size was generous, and the meal was delicious. It was nice eating something besides Mexican or pizza...this may be our new favorite place to eat in Salida. read more

Nice ambiance, very low key, relax ambiance. Like the friendly local service, making you feel welcome not overwhelmed. Streak was below average. Below restaurant grade, hard to cut, and unchewable - to the point you just have it in your mouth for 15 min until you have to spit it... Applebee's steak is better. Go here for drinks, tacos, a good time, friendly service just don't order the steak! read more

A fun place. The fish and chips were great and best of all they had Great Divide brewing CO's Caaymore. The absolute best beer ever made!

Hey there, Came in earlier this week and had a delicious twist on traditional mussels. The vibe was fun even though they were super busy. The staff was personable, attentive, and so kind to us even through the whole dinner rush. Shout out to Cali for her warmth and welcoming and holding down that crazy bar. Looking forward to our next visit here. read more

Service was pretty slow. A bit hard to hear conversations. We ordered stroganoff and one to go. Waitress said she'd put the order in when she delivered our food. She did not. Also, the stroganoff gravy was way too concentrated and overpowering. The beef was tender but the overall dish was absolutely not worth $23 plus tax and tip read more

We were underwhelmed with our food here. The crust for the chicken pot pie was underdone and still raw underneath and the inside of it lacked any flavor. The fish tacos didn't have much flavor either (even with their volcano sauce). The salmon salad was delicious though. Waitstaff were exceptionally sweet! read more

Had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. I'm from the south and know good food. This was very good. I am usually disappointed with food in CO, but not this time. Good friendly service. Would highly recommend. read more

This place was great! Came here w a large group and they were awesome! Good drinks, great appetizers and awesome entrees!! Totally recommend!! read more

The service is always great, and we've enjoyed the patio. The food offerings are pretty standard American fare, but the quality has been a little hit-or-miss the few times we've been. read more

Absolutely a 5 Star experience. The food is fresh and awesome . The staff is way above average. Our server, Rikki was very attentive and pleasant. We will definitely return. read more

Worst greasy food. Calamari must have been deep fried 3 x and fish and chips dripped grease. we were sick for 2 days after. Way tooooo loud and atmosphere is for obnoxious drunk people - who don't mind quality of food! read more

We came for dinner after a long day of skiing and this place HIT the spot. To begin with was the lobster queso. Of course it was delicious! For dinner I had fried chicken and mashed potatoes while my wife chose the seafood special that night. My wife loved hers and I absolutely loved mine. I'm a Texas boy and grew up on fried chicken and mashed potatoes and I have to say this might me the best I've had, even better than my mother's. They have a good beer selection too and I was excited to try the Blind Pig from Russian River Brewery. We all shared the berry shortcake which was super tasty and was a great ending for a wonderful meal! Our waitress had a great attitude and was terrific at her job and I got to speak to the chef who was a really cool guy who is great at his job! I highly recommend this place and look forward to returning one day! read more

This is an amazing restaurant. My mother uses a walker and they were so friendly an accommodating! The food and service were FABULOUS!

Overpriced. Mediocre service. Food was nothing special. Ambiance was nice except the staff seemed annoyed that I came in with my Family of 6. Definitely not a family restaurant, doesn't really have the space anyways. I will never go there again. read more

Excellent food. We had the linguine pescatore and beef stroganoff. Lobster Queso is delicious. Overall excellent experience. Atmosphere is a little loud, which is why the 4 star review. Service was decent, it took a while for someone to recognize that we were seated, but service was decent once we were recognized. read more

We were just served very undercooked burgers. The waitress took two half eaten burgers back to the kitchen to be cooked. And then pretended to offer us half price on the burgers. Because you know. They recooked the half burgers. Meanwhile My 30$ steak left me with food poisoning. It was chewy and hard to cut. I ate a few bites and felt it was off. Haven't slept and have been up and down all night. read more

Good food, good service. Friendly staff. The music was a bit too loud, but it seems like that everywhere. I'm not complaining about that, but maybe they'll see the review and think about it. I will definitely go back when I'm in the area. read more

Quaint atmosphere. Popular spot. Personally I have not had great experiences with food here. Diamond is an excellent human, and works the bar-he is stellar. read more

Exceptional food . We chose this option based on reviews and menu. Started with the best wedge salad I've ever had, loaded with perfectly cooked bacon and blue cheese. We also had the cheese bacon soup with grilled toast , so good . He had the French dip with mushrooms and cheese. Down to the bun and au jus everything was delicious . I had the fried chicken and it was delish. I'm in pain from eating so much but I'm glad we decided to try this place . Only downfall was tea was watered down but who cares read more

Let me preface this review with a disclaimer: I'm not a picky eater, nor am I the type to send food back. This restaurant is one of the few that causes me to crawl out of my shell and complain. We walked in as a party of 4, and the hostess seemed confused when we walked in. We sat out on the patio and were given waters. Our server came over to take our drink orders. It was clear that we were first-timers and needed some time to browse the menu, but he stuck around until we were ready. Drinks were put in. While waiting, we watched our server walk back and forth to the side alley to hang out with people smoking (who didn't work there). Given the timeframe, it was clear that there was a lack of washing hands / checking up on tables. We noticed another waitress placed the water pitcher on the fence under a tree for about ten minutes. The lemonade is Minute Maid, FYI. Jim Beam and Coke was good, and came out fast. Our food arrives, I ordered a 1/2 portion of the honey smoked salmon salad. I was given a full portion for no extra cost, a mistake of the kitchen that I was happy about! What made me upset? The fishiness and cat food-likeness of the salmon, which was cold and clearly canned. I sent it back, and our server responded in a kindly manner and brought me French fries to make up for it. Everyone else's food was mediocre at best-- the grilled chicken sandwich and BLT were alright, but the wedge salad was 1/4 of a small-sized head of lettuce. The mashed potatoes were said to be amazing, but were bland and unappetizing. The fries are good, so I asked for a to-go box. We waited forever for our ticket, and box, as was another table across the patio. Nothing was cleared off of our table. Empty drinks, plates, everything remained with no room to spare. We watched our server greet his friends in the alley, back and forth. A few times he walks over to our table and before approaching us, he sees someone he knows and turns around to talk to them. Finally, he comes with a Chinese take-out box. I thought that was a little peculiar. He checks us out with a handheld device, and we weren't given a receipt, but the total was off. The salad wasn't taken off the bill. I try to give the benefit of the doubt, but our experience was very odd and we wished we would've gone elsewhere. Our server was friendly, but everything going on was very weird and uncomfortable. read more

Currents Steaks & Seafood - Salmon salad - Steakhouses Near Me - Salida, Colorado

Mixed experience here. I've had some really good meals and some terrible ones. Lately the trend is downward. This place is off my list for a while. The burgers seem to be the most reliable (as long as you eat in the restaurant vs. To Go when they are likely to be cold along with the pile of cold, tasteless fries). Recently, the salmon special was terrible and very expensive. The fish tasted old and bland; the sauce was an attempt to make the meal tasty but failed. A few spears of asparagus. The best part was the mashed potatoes. Not exactly a healthy, satisfying meal. And the cost was ridiculous. Few vegetarian options, and the staff is not encouraging about possible modifications. Eating outside was a good option in summer, but the indoor situation was not very comfortable -- tightly packed tables and staff leaning in very close to guests. The atmosphere for a beer and a casual meal might work, but order carefully and check the prices. read more

DIAMOND, the general manager!! Wow!MONIKA, Best service. Fantastic food! Chef , drinks, atmosphere!!! This is where food dreams are made !!! read more

My husband and I were seated on their deck on a gorgeous night in CO. Bianca was our server and we loved her! She is boldly hilarious without hovering or being invasive. She is adorable and made our night. I ordered the salmon salad which was delicious! I would definitely order it again. My husband ordered the Beef Stroganoff. This is one of his favorite entrees and he said it's one of the best recipes he's had. read more

Three of us tried to have a late dinner in Salina and there wasn't much open. We tried another restaurant first which had a wait, so we wandered over here and it was a great choice. The place was really busy, but we got a table right away. Our server was great. We enjoyed our food and drinks and the whole experience. read more

Went to Currents on Friday, July 16th. with my grown son for my Birthday. Setting outside....perfect....Waitress.....Amazing....I had the fried chicken....Delicious and my son had the Rib eye...great! Definitely go to Currents. Cannot say enough good things about the service and food. I live in NC so I can only visit when I am in Salida. Don't miss out on this restaurant. read more

Had two separate recommendations, one from a Colorado-native, and another from a buddy who had found it seeking a steak in the area. Great spot, best summed up as follows: we both had the chicken-pot pie, and I enjoyed mine so much I ordered another. When one of the server staff brought our check, she noticed that we had eaten "three pot pies?!", and hit us with an impressed . LOL. Go. read more

We went on a Tuesday for a late lunch. We got a comfortable table by the window so we could "people watch". The sidewalk deck was busy as was the inside. Lots of people strolling around downtown and quite a few stopping in to eat. There was a hostess/waitress and a couple of people in the kitchen and they were definitely pros because service and food came timely. My wife ordered the "half order" fish and chips which came with 1 1/2 pieces of cod and fries. They were cooked to perfection and she really enjoyed her choice. I ordered the "half order" Bangers and Mash which came with one sausage, mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables (sautéed zucchini and yellow squash). The "buffalo zonker stout habanero and cherry" sausage came dressed with sauerkraut and bourbon mustard. Oh how I could wax rhapsodic about that sausage. With or without the sauerkraut and mustard, the sausage was a delight of tastes all the way through. One of the cooks said it was their eighth different sausage they had tried for this dish and I hope they settle on this sausage for a long time. This is a comfortable restaurant choice if you are downtown in Salida at lunch. We have had recommendations for their steaks and seafood as well and look forward to trying them again. My wife can have steak or seafood and I will consider a full order of Bangers and Mash so I can get 2 sausages to enjoy! read more

Visited Currents yesterday as my wife and I were driving through Salida on the way home to Dallas. The place is very comfortable and warm and the staff was helpful and attentive. We were both impressed with the atmosphere. It was easy to have a conversation. I had the Smoked Salmon Salad and my wife had the Turkey Habanero Wrap. Both were very tasty and interesting. The salmon was moist and capers added just enough bite to make it interesting. My wife scarfed down here entire wrap without sharing any of it. Rude. The French fries were the bomb and I stole as many as I could from my wife's plate until I got "the look." Should have gotten my own order. Overall, very satisfying meal and a great way to stretch our legs before driving to Texas. read more

The restaurant is close to the riverwalk and Riverside Park. I had the veggie wrap with bacon and my hubby had the fish and chips. We both really enjoyed the fries (crispy outsides)! I am not a fan of tartar sauce, but my bite of my hubby's fish was good! The service was fast. For Pokemon Go, it's within range of 2 stops and a gym. read more

Awesome. Ate there our first day of a recent 3 day visit, the outdoor patio is beautiful, the food and service just terrific, good beer/booze selection and we loved it. They were busy the whole weekend we were there and for good reason. read more

For a steakhouse, there was very little steak to try... The fish & chips was mediocre at best, tasted like the batter was days old. The blackened mahi special was way too peppery . And the service was NOT great. I had to get up and go to the bar to get my tea refilled. read more

I've been back three times this last month. Excellent meals with thoughtful preparation each time. Well done kitchen! Very much enjoyed the experience. As can be expected, the wait team is working incredibly hard to care for us. They're doing well under the current circumstances. Of course they deserve a 25% tip. Thank you all! Bill read more

Unbelievable! We started with the artichoke dip, awesome. Then we had 2 entrees, the chicken pot pie and the bangers & mash special. Both were excellent! It's a must when you visit Salida, CO. read more
