   The service was great. The bread was quite tough and we ordered the crispy rice with yellowtail as an appetizer. The rice was very overcooked and difficult to even chew. The tomahawk steak we ordered medium rare and definitely came more rare but still was good and the lobster was delicious.

   For a memorable dining experience, Salt Water Social is certainly worth visiting. Upon entering, you'll appreciate the warm and inviting upscale atmosphere, complemented by elegant décor. Our server was thoughtful and knowledgeable, ensuring we felt welcome. The menu offers a good range of options to suit various tastes, with generous portions. The food is expertly prepared and presented, featuring great flavors and beautiful presentation. We weren't there for a special occasion, but we look forward to returning the next time we are in town and need an upscale place to celebrate.

   We have eaten at every restaurant in Cherry Creek and this is by far the worst. For the quality, embarrassingly expensive. Two glasses of wine and a cocktail, lobster bisque, and crabcake, and two surf and turfs…$300. Was amazed to see that in a restaurant named Salt Water Social there was only one fresh fish option. The grilled shrimp was small, the lobster bisque was bland, the crabcake was gummy, and the steaks had almost no seasoning and were gristly.  My conclusion is that someone thinks they can run a so-called seafood restaurant with frozen low quality non-perishable shrimp and crustaceans, and serve a bowl of soup and steaks on plates that are cold (one of the unpardonable sins in the restaurant world). To save itself, SWS needs to have an honest look in the mirror and raise their game if they want to survive in Cherry Creek. How about decide on being a seafood restaurant?  With fresh fish options? On hot plates?

   Oysters were delicious. Mango cart beer was good and fruity. Casamigos Blanco tequila was good. Calamari Fritti could've been crispier, but the hot cherry peppers were very good. The Pan Roasted New England Scallops were seared perfectly on a bed of sunchoke puree with greens on top and a charred leek vinaigrette. The Crab Fried Rice side was more of a risotto short/medium-grain rice with too much hardness. A fluffier long-grain rice would offer a better mouth feel and compliment the crab meat. The San Francisco Style Cioppino had tiny mussels, an unpleasant herbed tomato soup (maybe tomato paste was burned), and the grilled sourdough was too tough.

   A Culinary Gem! From the moment I walked through the door, it was clear that this restaurant stands out. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfectly balanced – chic yet comfortable. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff was not only professional but genuinely friendly, making us feel like valued guests rather than just customers. But let's talk about the food – it was nothing short of extraordinary! Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and perfectly presented. The chef’s attention to detail is evident in every bite. I started with the appetizer – a delicate and flavorful selection including oysters and the spicy rice bites , which was the perfect teaser for what was to come. The main course, a surf and turf, was cooked to perfection with just the right balance of seasoning and texture. You can tell that the ingredients are fresh and of the highest quality. And the dessert? Absolutely divine – the banana foster was the perfect end to a memorable meal. The drink selection was equally impressive, offering a range of options that paired wonderfully with the meal. Overall, dining here was an experience I won’t soon forget. Whether you're here for a special occasion or just a night out, this restaurant is the perfect choice. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

   The energy was upbeat and fun, a fun scene for Cherry Creek. Michael, our waiter was excellent. The food was uninspiring except for sliders, they were outstanding. The bar was extremely slow.

   Waited 1 hour to get seated and another to get food. Overpriced but good food. Very loud atmosphere. More like a club vibe.

   Place is more like a night club than a restaurant. Took too long to get drinks, food is subpar and over priced, felt like we were being rushed by the waitstaff and the music is so loud you can’t talk to anyone. Left hungry after a huge bill, walked to Cherry Cricket for a burger after.

    Our waiter Michael/Mike was great. However that’s where the greatness ended. The drinks were good but weak. The food was ok but not great therefore not a great value. This was certainly a nice outing but just not worth the price charged.
