    Salt Water Social has made its way to Cherry Creek, and it was an absolute hit. The team working there are well trained and the customer service was top tier! From beginning to end, our group of 6 enjoyed everything they had to offer. Christopher was our server, and he was beyond helpful with drink recommendations, and explaining the dishes we had. Couldn’t have asked for a better server. The drinks are well crafted, and smooth. Nothing too sweet, and well balanced. The Dirty Pearls martini with caviar bump was a favorite for me. I loved the rosé bubbles recommendation as well. The food was well prepared, and I can honestly say that if I had to pick a least favorite, it would be hard. Everything was so well made, even down to the sourdough loaf to start with. We enjoyed oysters, spicy yellowtail on crispy rice, caviar pizza, crab cake, Maine lobster roll, ciopinno, ribeye filet, crab fried rice, mushroom pot pie, truffle and mushroom pasta, lava cake, and bananas foster. Phenomenal. Be sure to stop into Salt Water Social, and enjoy a fabulous meal!

    What an amazing experience! The pizza was amazing. The rack of lamb was absolutely stunning. Great preparation cooked perfectly. The appetizers were fantastic. Nothing is pedestrian. They take everything and prepare it just a step above. The service was very spot on our waiter Romeo was very attentive and genuinely loved his job and was very good at it. The wine list was carefully put together with great Italian selections that paired fantastically with the menu . Thank goodness this restaurant is not too close to where I live. Otherwise I’d be there at least twice a week!!! 😂🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

    Amazing from the second we walked in!! Granted, it was 11am for brunch but everything was WONDERFUL. Casual, relaxed, trendy…not over board. If the AARP set feel super comfortable, they’ve nailed it 😁 The Feta and Tahini appetizer… OMG! You have to get it. First time eating there, I’m in love.
