Delightful staff, Best place to hold a special event.
When we arrived on 3/4/08, we were warmly greeted by various members of the Saltwater Grille staff who clearly intended to provide us with the most delightful evening which is exactly what they did.
My group left having enjoyed a most delicious meal from appetizers to dessert. The Chef truly lived up to and exceeded my expectations. My favorite, Lobster Saute' , was especially tasty. I was told it has been on the menu since they opened in 2001. When ever they attempted to take it off there were demands to bring it back. I can understand why!
The decor is comfortably elegant and the breath-taking views from those waterfront windows. The floral arrangments we ordered were made in house. There was nothing "homemade" about these arrangements they belonged on the cover of Martha Stewart!
While the overall staff was friendly and welcoming, the staff that served us was attentive and efficient as well as friendly. A true asset to the Saltwater Grille. I highly recommend the Saltwater Grille to anyone, be it a private event of simply a meal in the beautiful dining room.
DO NOT HOST AN EVENT HERE!!!!!.
My family and I had my wedding rehersal dinner here on 7/13/07 and it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. We had a total of 33 people which included 12 kids. From the appetizers to the meals, most dishes were served cold and sent back. The soon to be bride and myself were served our meals and the bride's father waited over an hour and a half to get his meal served to him (which was cold of course). The owner Mark said the event would be fully compensated that night. It turns out he lied and did not fully refund us the total amount.
So if you like cold meals, terrible service, and a lying owner then you will like the Salt Water Grille.
