A wonderful experience. Took my daughter out for daddy and daughter time, and we were very happy. Inside was very nice showcasing mermaids and other theme-appropriate decor. Service was excellent. Our waitress had high positive energy and staff worked as a team. Minor mistakes were no big deal, and somewhat charming and impressive in the way it was handled. Sourdough bread for starters. I made the silly mistake of scraping off the top of the butter and getting an incredibly salty bite. The next time, I stuck my knife into the butter and scooped some out. That was much better. I got the burger and fries, which were fine and on par for what I would expect at a nice establishment. The mac and cheese side was okay, maybe a little disappointing. The filet mignon was cooked so perfectly. Maybe sous vide? Just executed incredibly well. Shrimp, I wasn't crazy about. It tasted like shrimp and it was good, I guess. The sauce that came with the steak was killer on my burger. We don't sauce our steak, so I experimented on burger because it came with steak anyway. Sauce was like some sort of concoction with worcestershire (spelling?). Maybe if you get a burger, ask for steak sauce haha. Chocolate lava cake was what anyone might expect... tasty crowd pleaser. Quite chocolatey. Daughter was extremely impressed and kept telling me to take mommy here. I'll probably just bring the whole family here next time. read more

I visited Salt Water Social today for dinner and was not really impressed. For the price point, I felt like everything was under delivered from the food to the atmosphere. They are going for a fine dining theme but it is closer to nicer casual with fine dining prices. Upon walking in, there was an electric violinist that was doing covers of rap and pop songs. It was off putting to say the least. Then half way through our dinner, the electric violinist was swapped out for a DJ that was doing remixes of again rap and pop songs. It was all too loud in my opinion as well. The food was very mediocre. We started off with sourdough bread and salted butter. The bread had a very very hard exterior. Next were the west coast oysters... at $5/oyster! That's probably some of the highest prices I've paid for oysters and they were decent but had a lot of shell chips within the oysters. The butternut squash ravioli was good but overly rich to my taste; I was only able to eat a few due to how rich it was. The clam chowder base was tasty but there were barely any clams in it. We decided to splurge a little and ordered the tomahawk steak with lobster. It was interesting. I've never had a steak so expensive but so flavorless. I think they were trying to minimize the amount of seasoning on it to accentuate the steak's natural flavor but it just did not have any. The lobster was good. The vegetables had a cheap sauce taste to it. Asparagus was decent. The service was good. Eloise was our server and she did a good job with her recommendations and checking in on us. Although I did feel like she was a bit too casual for the fine dining theme they're striving for. read more

Let me see, can you give a very upscale restaurant a review less than 4 stars? I had a bit of "out of place" feeling here, but here I am, and I tried to be objective. The service is excellent, the servers are very nice and attentive. The place is very clean and classy, but choice of music is a bit questionable. They remixed a lot of the 90's and millenial music with non original artists and it just sounded so wrong. The food, tells a different story. The oysters are very small in size, there was west coast and east coast variety, but they were nothing to be excited about, the sizes were small. The fish and chips were okay, but the fries were overly fried and some were just extra crispy. The lobster roll was a bit odd, the lobster meat felt very sour, even without adding lemon to it. The asparagus was overly salty, it doesn't hit the mark at all. The fried rice was also odd, it doesn't capture the essence of your typical fried rice. I am pretty sure there are a lot of other options that are great, but this was what I've experienced with my visit here. I can only hope that this can improve and serve as a constructive criticism. read more

It was my first time at Salt Water Social on a business trip and had a great experience. My server Eloise was kind and attentive even when I changed my drink order a few times. I got a glass of Chardonnay, a Coral Crush, baked oysters & raw from their happy hour menu, surf and turf with 6oz steak and buttered shrimp. From the time I was seated, to the delivery and quality of food (especially how tender the steak was), the experience was superb! read more

Came here for a recent quick lunch on a Monday. Mondays also happen to be their 99 cent Oyster day which is such a great deal. I was told it was "Shucker's choice" and the variety served that day were from Maine. So delicious with the cocktail sauce/horseradish and mignonette sauces. I also tried a tuna wasabi taco. Didn't quite hit the spot with only one bite giving the taste of wasabi and the tortilla too thick that the texture dominated much of each bite. Friendly service, looking forward to trying more of the menu. read more

The food here was absolutely fantastic! We were there for a private event and my first visit, I will definitely return to this lovely venue. The private room was small, but light and airy with huge windows/French doors that opened to a patio. Having the evening air come in during our meeting was so refreshing after being trapped in an office all day. The impeccable service offered by Kenny and team was very noticeable in the sense that we did not lack for anything we asked for. I ordered a gin and Yuzu Curaçao cocktail that came in a martini glass with a hydrogen bubble on top. Every time I try to take a picture it would pop right before I could do it! Kenny came to my rescue starting a new bubble at least five times so I could get the right video! The drink was solid and I would definitely order it again. Great wine list Kenny took care of my wine choice for me when I wasn't sure what to get by asking my preferences and suggesting three choices. A prefixed meal was ordered by the event planner, which gave us an awesome sampling of the sesame crusted Aji tuna over the best fried rice rice ever! I couldn't stop eating the rice, which was frustrating because I wanted to eat other things too! The chicken was tender and served with a lovely, light sauce. The mashed potatoes were decadent with a cheesy topping. The asparagus was grilled to perfection. Oh, and the appetizers were fantastic too. There was a delicious Caesar salad and some kind of cheesesteak eggrolls that were addictive. The desserts included a type of bananas, Foster, I believe and the most amazing chocolate lava cake, and a pineapple upside down cake. All were decadent and delicious. I am saving this restaurant for my guest to come to town with discriminating restaurant taste! read more

First time going to Salt Water Social and we also went for happy hour. Disappointed in our visit. Service was not that great. Our server sighed when he took our order - we were appalled. The place was not busy either. Food was good but not worth the price for how small/tiny everything was. I understand happy hour is usually smaller portions, but this was extremely small for the price point. We got the surf and turf and he was rude that we wanted both surf AND turf. The one shrimp cost $10 more and no chimichurri present. The oysters were probably the size of a quarter and $3 per oyster. Most happy hour spots are valued at $1.25-$2, but those oysters were tiny. The martinis were probably the only thing we really enjoyed. We opted out of the bleu cheese olives. read more

A little pricy but great service! I went here on a date so I didn't get a lot of pictures, but I did take one of my meal. I got the Wagyu burger with a side of fries. First, the parking is street parking so make sure you're reading the meter signs or you can pay to park in one of the nearby garages. We had a reservation so we were seated right away, but we also went on a Monday and it was a little empty, so depending on what time of day you go and what day it is you might not need a reservation. We were greeted immediately and our waiter, took our drink orders. My date had some questions about the menu and when he asked the waiter, the waiter was very knowledgeable and was able to answer each question. The Wagyu burger was cooked my liking, and the french fries were hot, fresh, and crispy! There was nothing too special about this burger, so I just thought it was a little overpriced for what it was. I definitely think I would go back but with some friends because it seemed like a really nice place to just chill and chat and they had some fun appetizers on the menu that I wanna try next. read more

The food is very delicious !!! Service,- Kenny!! He is the best waiter! Customer service is key to me and let me tell you... Great experience and great Service!! Thanks Kenny!! Recommend, calamari, spicy yellowtail crispy rice, crab cake, cheese steak eggroll! The main dishes needed salt or pepper or seasoning.!! read more

If you are looking for an amazing experience and ambiance then look no further than- Cherry creek's Salt Water Social is a beautiful space to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, private parties, date nights, big wins, small wins and just because! The food was fresh, hot, and had flavor thank goodness and my favorite thing: fresh potato French fries! Our service was pleasant and very welcoming- especially being a woman of color often times we aren't served or greeted special in Cherry Creek but this place was authentic and warm and inviting! Looking forward to dinner soon! read more

This is a special occasion place given the location and prices, but it's a good splurge. The menu features lots of seafood dishes but don't overlook the usual land-based entrees either, as they do a great job with everything here. On my two visits so far, the specials menu was better one time than the other, but there's plenty to choose from regardless. If it's nice you can sit on the outdoor patio side on Columbine Street, which can help dampen a bit of the noise, but it's not too bad inside unless the DJ is working. But the food here is very good and the service is friendly, so if you're looking for a nice place to celebrate, this will do the trick. read more

We went here on Valentine's Day the wife and I and let's just say it is pricey ,but!!!! I am 100 percent willing to pay for a damn good meal and that's just what we had , now I didnt get a photo of the wife's meal she had the 6 oz steak with a lobster tail and it was all gas no breaks! I had the Tuna and crab fried rice tuna was a 9/10 and the crab fried rice was a 7.8/10 the rice was surprisingly spicy I did not expect that. Over all damn good food and our waiter was amazing . All in all , I recommend this place twice over , not sure why they have 3.5 stars,at the very minimum a 4/5 food and experience combined. read more

Total shock. This location has failed many times over the years, but now, I think Salt Water Social has a better chance of making it work given the great meal we had there earlier this week.We had a Dining Out coupon worth $35 towards an entree at this place. It's right down the street. I'd worked late and it was too late to make dinner at home. My honey wanted some seafood. So, for all of those reasons we found ourselves walking into Salt Water Social without a reservation on a late Monday night. The evening didn't start out well. Two folks who worked there were talking right behind the entryway station while we were standing there for what seemed like a long time in what was a pretty empty restaurant. Finally I said, "Hi there. Does anyone want us to eat here?" The two looked up and seemed surprised. "Oh. We're sorry. We didn't see you." We first thought that was funny since we saw them observe us walking in, but ya never know, and they seemed nice once they woke up, so while we had just about turned around and gone down the block to another of what are about fifty restaurants in Cherry Creek, we smiled and said hello, and followed them to an almost customer-free area in the large bar space. Turned out that had been the low point of the evening and then everything turned around dramatically. The sweet server Shardey introduced herself along with the new worker who she was training. She thoroughly went through the menu also helped us with the wine list. Literally every dish we had was wonderful. Started with some delicious crusty sourdough bread that tasted incredible when served with their salted butter and a great glass of Super Tuscan wine. Followed that up with an excellent Caesar salad with extra anchovies that was clearly made fresh from scratch. My sweetheart had the cioppino and I had the seared tuna over a generous serving of crab fried rice, both of which were fabulous. We ordered a side of creamed spinach and it quickly became clear that we had over-ordered. We departed with a bag of leftovers that seemed to weigh several pounds but I'm sure I'm exaggerating. So what a turnaround it was. We'd had low expectations at the start of the visit but by the time we left we were 100% in their corner hoping to see them again soon. The place was lightly used when we went in around 8:30 on a Monday night, but I hear that it's quite lively the rest of the week. You should definitely check them out when you're up for some fine dining in the Cherry Creek area. Somewhat pricey but very well worth it, we're definitely going to return in the near future. Yay, for Salt Water Social! read more

I should have looked at the yelp reviews before I went to this place. My bad. Hopefully someone reads my review and elects to go to Guard and Grace which is similarly priced but 10000x better. Here's why this is a 2 star review: some of the food was good and some was terrible. For the app, we had these kettle chips with caviar dip. The chips were mostly stale. The scallop dish was good but nothing to write home for. The special salmon dish that the waiter strongly suggested was bad and here is why, the fish was cooked perfectly, but the giant chunks of zucchini in the dish were inedible. They were beyond bitter and we said something to the waiter and he kind of was "like oh ummm" and then walked away which told me he gets complaints a lot and they've started to avoid refunds or some other kind of comp. The best thing about the meal was the side of asparagus. That was good. When the offer for dessert came, we were a giant no. I highly recommend avoiding this place unless they get their kitchen in order or their pricing in line with the quality of cookery. read more

Seriously the most incredible meal. I went here when it first opened and it was good, but this visit was unreal. They just keep making things better. The service was amazing. Our waiter Kenny was THE BEST! The drinks the food. Everything was 50/10. Perfect spot for girls night. Things you can't miss: the seafood tower, the dirty pearl martini with a caviar bump, the filet, calamari, potatoes au gratin, ago tuna with crab fried rice. And ALLLLLL the desserts. Incredible! read more

Found this restaurant online when looking for something near my hotel, and made a reservation. It was not extremely busy since it was a Thursday evening. I was seated at a table near the bar. Bar area was nice and had a few TVs. There was also an outdoor dining area that was pretty full. The atmosphere was very upscale. They even had a violinist playing "modern" music. I found it to be very enjoyable. My server, Casey, was very attentive. She pointed out highlights on the menu and even made some recommendations. The complementary bread service quickly arrived. The sourdough and whipped butter were amazing. My entree arrived soon after. The steak was a bit past mid rare, but still delicious. They offer multiple butter toppings. I recommend the garlic butter. The duck fat fries were also top notch. For dessert I chose the Flambé Bananas Foster. Unfortunately, they did not flambé table side, which would have been great to see. Despite that, the dessert was very tasty. The GM, Alli, even came around a couple times to check in, and we had a nice chat before I left. Overall, the service and food were great. I highly recommend it. Tip: Use the valet. Parking in a nearby garage is not any cheaper. Tip 2: Sign up for their Friends With Benefits program. Start earning points on your first visit, and receive a reward on your second visit. read more

Danielle was our server and was INCREDIBLE! She was so attentive even though she was the only one working the floor. She really killed it. The calamari was cooked perfectly and the burger was amazing as well. I'm not sure why the food gets so much hate online. The theme of the restaurant was so fun! They really committed! Happy I tried this place! read more

Where to start. Well we came in during restaurant week on a Monday at 5pm. Got seated right away and our host turned out to be our waitress. She was very rude and short the minute she found out we were here for restaurant week. She got our drink order and it took her another 15 mins to get a soda and a martini. (We were one of two table at the time). She then grabbed our orders and was very short and rude attitude. At that same exact time another table go seated next to us and their waiter was extremely polite and knowledgeable. He asked about allergies, if they wanted free bread and if they wanted sparkling or still water. Meanwhile our waitress didn't ask us anything. As for the food: Not worth the price. Crab cakes were edible but not crispy on the outside. Main course of surf & turf was nothing special barely seasoned. Side add on dishes of Mac & cheese was ok and the mash potatoes were fine. The waiter Morris who was replacing our first waitress was very sweet and tried to make our night better by brining us a couple of shots. If you choose to dine in I highly recommend sitting in his section. Other wise the ambience doesn't justify the price and the quality of food. ****we had issues with our check since the Managment didnt have a button on their computer for Restaurant week special. We had to track the manager down ourselves to get it resolved. read more

A visit to Salt Water Social is truly magical! I tried a mix of their luxurious holiday specials and delicious dinner menu! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere and exceptional service set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. If you're looking to indulge, start with the jaw-dropping Seafood Tower for Two--a seafood lover's dream come true! Every bite, from the East & West Coast Oysters to the Hamachi Sashimi, is perfectly paired with flavorful sauces that elevate the experience. The Calamari Fritti is crispy, zesty perfection, and the entrees? Pure holiday decadence! The Mermaid Surf & Turf and Prime Rib are absolute must-tries, and the Shrimp Scampi is a rich, garlicky delight. You can't skip the desserts! The Chocolate Cake is a chocoholic's paradise, and the Pineapple Cakewith rum caramel sauce is a tropical escape on a plate. Pair it all with their signature Mermaid's Brewcocktail, and you're in heaven.  Salt Water Social is the perfect place to celebrate in style. Highly recommend gathering your loved ones and planning a special occasion at this amazing restaurant. read more

To celebrate my 30th birthday, my wife curated a weekend full of experiences for us, including tasting a few restaurants around Colorado we had not yet tried.   Our third stop (if you do not count my obligatory stop to Call your Mother for brunch) was Salt Water Social and it was my wife, myself, and my best friend of 19 years. Saltwater Social is affiliated with STK and when you walk in, you definitely can see the similarities, but also the distinct differences, with service and an enjoyable experience being at the top of both.   As if the friendly staff was not enough, the ambiance in this place is to die for. During the day the sunlight bounces off the aquatic themed décor, really giving the impression that you are underwater. The intentionally placed mermaids throughout and the blue accents sprinkled in against the white marble, really make this place stunning. At night the dim lighting and candles give it a darker deep blue ocean feel which we also enjoyed (but is a little hard for photos).   Our server's name was Jess and not only was she knowledgeable, she was so sweet and so attentive.   We happened to stop in at happy hour, which really enabled us to try a lot for a good price.   To simplify the process, they have you order everything at once, and then pace it as it comes out.   We tried: -              Beer Battered Snow Crab (Happy Hour) -              Bay Scallop Ceviche (Happy Hour) -              Lil' Brg (Happy Hour) -              Caesar Salad (enough for 3 people to share with the intention of having a side salad) -              Shrimp Scampi (2) -              Beef Short Rib Braised in Red Wine w/ creamed potatoes     Beer Battered Snow Crab 10/10 - As someone who does not like to fight with their food, this was perfect for me, and I honestly could have had an entire plate (which is available to you if you select the Surf n Turf option). The flavor was absolutely delicious, paired with a sauce that had a bit of a kick to it.   Bay Scallop Ceviche 10/10 - I did not try this as it was one serving, but my wife said it was delicious and had the perfect balance of infused flavors.   Lil Brg 10/10 - I did not try this as it was one serving, but my best friend shared that it was delicious, the sauce added to the juiciness and the fries were really good.   Caesar Salad 10/10 - I love a good Caesar salad, and this one did not disappoint. They were sure that the dressing was infused throughout the salad and every bite was super fresh along with the delicious croutons that were not too hard or too soft.   Shrimp Scampi 10/10- The shrimp on this plate were MASSIVE and jam packed with flavor. I found myself taking multiple bites of a plate that was not mine. The parmesan matched with the other flavors they had set in this delicious dish were soooo good. My wife and best friend agreed they both could have eaten the shrimp alone if they had to because it carried so much flavor.   Beef Braised Short Rib 9/10 - The only thing that did not get this plate a perfect 10 is that I wish I had a bit more potatoes and maybe a vegetable to accompany it. What I will say is that the short rib was cooked to perfection, the potatoes were creamy and carried enough flavor that you could eat them on their own, but they also paired very well with the short rib. The short rib was tender and fell apart whenever you touched it and truthfully made for a delicious experience.   Our server closed out the night with Birthday shots for the table and then offered to take pictures of us. We had a phenomenal time, and I cannot wait to come back and try so many other things. read more

Best waitress and front desk staff, worst food and service from kitchen I have ever experienced. Literally the food is awful we sent my wife's dish back and didn't ask for them to fix it, eggs overcooked, bacon hard as a rock, I had trio of beef that was supposed to be medium rare came out medium well, under seasoned across the board albeit I will say this the French fries were exceptional. Waitress was amazing. This is clearly a corporate issue who don't give a hoot kind of place. Will never ever go back . Took us three hours to get food on top of it all. Oh and insanely overpriced!! This is is the biggest rip off in CO. read more

The same sophisticated atmosphere permeates here as at STK -- complete with blue mood lighting, beautiful flowers, mermaid accents, and trendy music (or even DJ). My honest opinion on the food and drinks, though? Try it for happy hour first. I've always been a huge fan of the fun cocktails and bites for happy hour at STK -- and I would say the same here. The cocktails are great, and much more affordable at happy hour for $12 than on the regular menu. You'd quickly go broke drinking wine and cocktails off the regular menu. The small seafood bites -- whether on happy hour or on the appetizer list -- are fantastic. You can't go wrong with oysters, scallop ceviche, baked clams, yellowtail (tacos or crispy rice), or crab cakes. The mains, I was a bit disappointed with. Fine for a corporate dinner, but not quite up to foodie standards. The pasta was probably the best dish, but I couldn't have more than a bite with my gluten-intolerance. Eating just the lobster out of the lobster roll, I got more claw meat than tail, which isn't ideal. The lobster thermidor (part of the surf & turf) seemed to be stuffed with more cream & mushrooms than actual lobster. The Cioppino was the biggest disappointment (but I've also lived in the Bay Area where it started, and it's one of my favorite dishes). No Dungeness crab, barely any shellfish, tiny amount of thick sauce resembling pasta sauce at the bottom of the dish rather than a bowl of aromatic broth. I can't comment too much on dessert, as it's not gluten-free-friendly. The chocolate cake felt dense though. The Banana Foster has potential (if it was just slightly less doused with cinnamon). read more

There's a new restaurant in Cherry Creek, and it's already one of my favorites! They recently opened, and I had the chance to check them out. First of all, the decor is incredible so think underwater city vibes (Atlantis!) with a touch of luxury that feels fancy without being pretentious. Emma, our server, was amazing! She was so welcoming and had the best recommendations. The entire team was fantastic and made the experience even better! I can't wait to go back for a special occasion or date night which it's the perfect spot for! What we ordered: Lil' Brgs Spicy Yellowtail Crispy Rice Mushroom & Truffle Rigatoni Surf & Turf (NY Strip & Maine Lobster Thermidor) Crab Fried Rice (not pictured) Lava Cake Dirty Pearls Siren's Kiss Seven Seas Best bites: Everything was delicious, but a few dishes stood out. The spicy yellowtail crispy rice was packed with flavor without being overwhelming, and the mushroom & truffle rigatoni was outstanding with the shaved black truffle and all! The surf & turf and the lava cake were also top-tier bites that I'll be craving them until my next visit. read more

TL;DR Unfortunately I do not think Salt Water Social is worth the price tag. Came here on New Year's Day for dinner with the hubs and it was quiet, which was nice. Our server Brandon was attentive, helpful and friendly and I've nothing but good things to say about him. Atmosphere was cool and decor was a fun underwater vibe, which went well with the menu. Pretty extensive wine menu but I was very disappointed to see no mocktails - only listed na option was bottled Heineken... Do better! We didn't order any drinks because of this. We ended up arriving at the tailend of happy hour and tried their salmon cones and tacos, both of which were tasty, unique and fun (especially the cones). They were affordable at the HH price. The free bread was a yummy sourdough; fresh and still warm. For entrees, I had the salmon Wellington which was divine and filling. Never come across anything like it before and would definitely recommend. Not cheap, but not the priciest thing on the menu. The biggest disappointment was my husband's meal. He went with surf and turf: NY steak with the crab claws. It was cooked as requested and steak had good flavor but the price was absurd... $70 for no sides! He left hungry. For that price you could get a far better meal at a number of restaurants in CCN. For $70, throw in some mashed potatoes at least, yah big cheap-os. On the whole, we have no intention of coming back, unless invited by friends who want to give it a whirl or a cool event was taking place. A shame considering it really does have a cool vibe. read more

First of all - service was great - Danielle did a great job! 2nd - portions quite small for the price but food was good. Here is my issue - the prices, in my opinion were over the top even for Cherry Creek. A lot of the food was not described correctly from the menu to the plate. A lack of detail that surprised me for an expensive place Last point - we went to lunch on a Sunday - 5 of us and the bill was $575 without tip Again, food and wait staff were great and the restaurant is beautiful. But be prepared for expensive meal. read more

This experience was zero stars. read more

Mixed experience. Friendly service so nothing wrong with waitstaff etc. Had Father's Day brunch just now. Definitely quite expensive and most was on par with steakhouse pricing but some stuff was just absurd. The stand out on that absurdity was the American breakfast: 2 pancakes, 2 eggs made to order, and a couple of sausages and potatoes $44!! Everything was good quality but that's crazy for a pretty standard breakfast. My Wagyu breakfast burger on the other hand was $20 and actually pretty reasonable for the quality and quantity. We figured for the $44 The American might be something that yoh could split amongst 2-3 people, and I guess you could but it is nothing special or huge and pretty much just as explained above. Nice ambience. Unless I'm looking for the steakhouse price and experience at $50-60+ per steak and $22+ for drinks kind of experience in the future, I'll probably not be coming back any time soon. I think there is better and more unique places to go to in the area. Beer list also seriously lacking anything interesting for Denver. More info: Bloody Mary: $18 good but nothing spectacular Mimosa: $9 it's a mimosa, probably a good value that they should make known the relatively usual price $41 salmon eggs with bagel. Good but crazy price again for the quantity and quality. I'd take an excellent lox sandwich at $15-20 any day of the week over this. $59 filet. I didn't have this but it looked good. $5.50 latte. Good. read more

Salt Water Social - Wagyu Burger Breakfast* - Seafood Near Me - Denver, Colorado

There is nothing I can say positive about Salt Water Social. First, we made reservations for two and arrived to find what I would say as "cafeteria style" two-top tables stacked tightly together. It was awkward so we opted to sit at the bar. After sitting there for 10 minutes with nobody acknowledging our existence, my wife went back to the hostess to see if we could get a table. The manager had to come behind the bar and greet us, get menus, take our order and make our drinks due to the ineptitude of the bar staff. Not a good start. The food was even worse. Know this, everything is extremely overpriced for the quality you receive. For drinks, they have the audacity to say that Clase Azul Gold is an ultra-premium tequila and charge $69 for a 1.5oz pour. This tequila is garbage and not 100% agave. It's nearly 30% added glycerin, various extracts to add flavor and coloring. Anyone who knows anything about tequila know this is a "celebrity" tequila and pure garbage. Whoever selected their tequila does not know a thing about good tequila. The list is littered with sub-standard tequilas at ridiculous prices. The Dinner menu on their website hasn't been updated as they do not serve the Steakhouse Burger for dinner. That was a letdown. The oysters were skimpy and flavorless. My wife's Surf & Turf order came with an undercooked 6oz filet (ordered medium+ and got a medium rare) on a cold plate with 3 tiny shrimp. Any decent restaurant will serve a filet on a heated plate (150F for warm, 500F at high-end steakhouses). This is clearly not a high-end experience. The au gratin potatoes were bland and undercooked. They tasted like they came from a box I could get at the grocery store. And lastly, the chocolate cake desert was bland, dry and a skinny sliver of a slice. What a disappointment. We had to laugh and just realize Salt Water Social is just a chain restaurant owned by a big restaurant group where corners are cut to make as much revenue as possible, while delivering a sub-standard experience. read more

This was our second time going (first was our choice, second was not our choice, as we would have never come here again if it were up to us). Way over priced for the amount of food you actually get. $30+ extra for 4 bites of lobster? No thank you. They do however have good cocktails, but that's about all this place has going for it. Service is subpar at best. Didn't even get the complimentary bread first go around. Not worth the price. Not worth any price. read more

Saltwater Social is a whole vibe! Such a beautiful restaurant -- the atmosphere is stunning, and they even have a live DJ that brings the energy up a notch.

The drinks were on point, and the staff was so friendly and attentive. Everything about the experience was top tier. I'll definitely be coming back -- Saltwater Social did not disappoint! read more

Salt Water Social - Shrimp Scampi - Seafood Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This is a beautiful place and the booths are very spacious. The wait staff is a little too attendant, if anything. Not really an issue. The menu is alright. My wife and I had the seafood tower for two. At $99 , it's about the going rate for Denver. The food items on the food tower were creative and unique. And then we had to go home and have scrambled eggs. The amount of food was just way too little. For us anyway, and we aren't exactly the type to chronically overeat. The dinner, two glasses of wine (each) and tip came to nearly $200, not counting the eggs we needed to make at home. Look, the seafood tower wasn't small, but it still felt like an appetizer for two grown adults. read more

Friday, July 3. Cherry Creek Art Festival. We walked in at 230pm. Stood at the desk while employees chatted at the bar. Finally, a dark -haired gentleman walked over announcing "sorry, I didn't see you " ??? Isn;t that his job as "host" . Looked around, the place was empty. Waited, waited, waited....no aiter, no water, NOTHING. Same 2 chatting at the bar . Watched as a tray of food came out of the kitchen & same dark haired waiter told the server " they left, food took too long". That was our clue. We got up & left as well. Maybe managment should stop in & see how employees are killing the business . Went next door to Blue Oyster, The place was packed ! Very attentive service & excellent food. On our way back to the car we saw folks reading the menu @ Salt Water Social. Told them not to waste their time. They thanked us. read more

Lovely setting, busy at happy hour. Food was great! $70 for two glasses of happy hour wine and a few small bites.

Girls night out and we arrived while snowing, luckily there was valet parking for $15! We made reservations and we were seated immediately. The aesthetic was modern and waiter was friendly and informative of the menu. The happy hour is well worth it, it had a large selection of food to try and we thoroughly enjoyed that part! We ended up ordering the surf and turf entrée for $41 and that was our disappointment. The steak was tender but dry! It was overcooked for a medium and it had zero flavor along with the sauce.. after eating my entrée, I definitely left hungry! I would recommend for happy hour though! read more

We ate here today and had a stellar experience, again! The seafood is so fresh and rivals any fine dining establishment in Denver. I can't believe how a landlocked state can offer such fresh seafood. And, we're world traveling food snobs. Our all time favorites are still the Crab Louie Salad and Crab Fried Rice. I love the stylish decor in all the hues of blue and the lively vibe we feel including the hip music! The staff is very knowledgeable offering great menu suggestions. Jess took very good care of us today. And, it's also always good to see Neil, the GM, when we stop in. We can't wait to go back for an evening meal. read more

The food seemed alot better when they first opened up but a year later it's become that frozen stuff noticably touger and rubber like texture on the shrimp and scallops but the price went up so how did the quality go down?? Perplexing ¿¿ Then I tried to ask how to tip the cooks directly and they only stated that the cooks don't receive any tips . Oh well another overpriced underwhelming restaurant crossed of the list . What happened to tipping the employees that actually prepare the food we came to enjoy?? It used to be nice to know the cooks were taken care of and happy to make the food I'm I ingesting.... read more

Loved checking out this new seafood restaurant in cherry creek. Different vibe than most spots in the area. Perfect for a girls night out or special occasion. Very similar to STK as it's a sister restaurant. Our service was amazing! Loved the crispy rice and caviar pizza. read more
