Catherine Fiske
Dana is an excellent waitress (she deserves a raise). She was so attentive and kind. As someone who is allergic to fish (my bf loves seafood tho) she made this a wonderful experience! My land experience was more then excellent and my bf enjoyed every part of his sea food dinner.

April 2023 – This month’s wine dinner had patrons sit outside in the covered outdoor dining room with warm temps in the air. The Italian wines featured were given a description by the host with each course. All were paired well with the food. Always like steel tank chardonnays. Loved the lamb chop with rosemary demi-glaze.

We had a nice dinner Friday night at Saltwater Grill which consisted of several appetizers & salad & ending with delicious chocolate mousse with extra whip cream that our lovely waitress Susie made sure to add. Service was wonderful Susie made sure we had warm bread & kept our drinks coming. Would highly recommend the oysters Alaska & the Wedge salad along with the seared tuna.

I did not know what to expect at a saltwater grill, but I was pleasantly surprised. Our server, Nick, was super attentive and helpful. He provided us with recommendations and I was very happy with the ravioli I ordered. I will definitely be going back on account of the superb service as it made my dining experience feel comfortable and enjoyable.

Colleen Hudson
I wish I could tell you how the food tasted but we left after 20 minutes of sitting at a table and being ignored. The only thing we (me and two others) received was water. A couple came into the restaurant well after us and they were immediately tended to.

Jill is the best! She was our server, and we had a huge group, and the entire experience was so smooth. All of the drinks came on time, the food was great, and she did an excellent job with everything. Go Jill!

Our server, Dana, was excellent. However, I had the special, swordfish. I’ve had swordfish at many restaurants and grilled my own. This piece of swordfish was 3/8” thick, yet the size of a dinner plate and not good. I don’t get it. I get better fish locally. Disappointing.

Kathleen McGuinness
The wine was warm. The charcuterie featured a 1/4 cup of mustard, 4 pieces of salami, 3 kinds of cheese including an unripe Brie. My fish was good, the sauce which included 3 pieces of sun dried tomato was ok. I’m not sure what difference the sun dried tomato made to the sauce.

Anne Russo
This restaurant suprised me to the fullest. There was only 2 of us and we ran up a bill that was much BUT it was worth every penny. Started off with a bloody mary cocktail followed by 3 serparate appetizers cause we wanted to taste everything. Next was dinners of fish & chips and breaded shrimp. Couldn’t finish the main course but so what..Bread served with the meal was perfect. Waiter was very attentive to our needs. Loved every bite and ever minute I was there. What a wonderful day at that restaurant. Will certainly go back.

Susie has been our server on two recent visit and and she’s such a professional. She keeps an eye on things but never disrupts conversations. She manages the details with grace and she has a calm, kind demeanor that makes the evening relaxing and a real pleasure.
