   Best place for parents with young kids sit outside by the sand area and finally enjoy a peaceful dinner. Food and drinks are so yummy

   Food was very good. Updated menu has the standard items you would expect from a normal Grille. Busy Bar. Service was outstanding; no skimping on staff. Above average on noise, but it was a busy Friday night..

   Had dinner here on Friday evening and it was a let down after reading so many positive reviews. The waitstaff is very nice as were the hostesses. But they are not very professional. The food was mixed. The beef stroganoff was floating in sauce and the kitchen put truffle oil all over the top. This was not shown on the menu and ruined the flavor. The braised short ribs were flavorful but had lots of fat. The bread with garlic was really good. The other dishes were just ok. We expected better service and better quality food and preparation and probably won’t be back.

   Salt Creek Grille exceeded all my expectations. All the food was exceptional, fresh and creative. I enjoyed the most delicious and delicate crab cake I have ever had in CA! That is high praise coming from a woman living in Baltimore for 20 years! The service was personable and professional. I am not sure of the very nice gentleman’s name. He was instrumental in making the brunch enjoyable with his attentive nature. BRAVO!!!!!!

    Front older hostess wasn’t friendly at all, never mind but I had to ask another person when our reservation seats are available. Menu was limited, overpriced for the portion and quality, steak was cold instead of raw even not sealed on the griller…. Not even enough fancy for the amount charged. Left good tip since the waitress did good her work. Not going back for sure.
