    Our waitress was so speedy in her service, menu explanations and busing that we felt rushed and overwhelmed from the moment we sat at our table. That continued through the entire meal. The drinks were subpar. The overall environment and ambience was too “clubby” but empty; dance track being played through an empty fine dining restaurant. Very off the mark. The food was great. Kudos to the chef(s).

    Such a wonderful experience that actually really surprised me as I find it hard to get good food in denver! I'm not even a huge steak and sea cuisine person and every bite blew me away! Really amazing service too and the cozy, yet elegant vibes were perfect for a little mid-week girls night! LOVE!

Ali the General manager was so fantastic, came over to make sure everything was tasting great and that we were taken care of well both times we visited. Can’t say enough good things about salt water. Thank you.

    The place was nice. The decor was nice. Out servers were very nice and timely. The steak was over cooked and the sides were mid. The French onion soup however, was one of the best I ever had. I don’t know if I would go back, but it was nice enough for a date night out.

    This was our first time at Salt Water Social. I absolutely loved the happy hour menu, we made a meal of it, treating it like a great tapas selection. The crispy rice with ahi tuna and oysters Rockefeller were the standouts, but we definitely enjoyed the fish and chips, crab tart, shrimp tempura, and scallop ceviche. The service was exceptional. Our waiter, Tim, provided personal, friendly, and EXCEPTIONAL service, which has been sorely missing in restaurants lately.
