About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for happy hour
Opening our doors in 1993, Salmon Dave’s has proudly endured as one of Greater Cleveland’s favorite local haunts. With an informal approach to upscale dining, our cozy neighborhood spot has gained a legendary reputation. After a recent head-to-toe renovation, Rocky River’s favorite restaurant is better than ever. The timeless character of the historic building lives on with distressed brick walls, crown moldings, and its signature mahogany bar. The updated feel is an eclectic balance of traditional and contemporary design elements, creating the perfect backdrop for Salmon Dave’s spirited bar scene and relaxed dinner vibe. Veteran chef Mario Brown and his talented culinary team offer new menu selections alongside fan-favorites, maintaining our promise of providing the freshest “Guaranteed Seafood.”

    Lovely place but needs to work on seafood quality. Oysters on the half shell had no brine and barely any flavor. Quality if scallops in the appetizer was terrible. Stick to the burger & you’ll have a nice time!

    A Birthday celebration that was fantastic! The lobster bisque is always outstanding and we both had steak medallions that were cooked to perfection.

    Our food was great but we were disappointed by the service which has never been something I would say about salmon Dave’s. This was for a special birthday evening and left us disappointed in the end. we had errors in our bill I wouldn’t expect at this kind of establishment.

    The food, service and atmosphere were excellent. I had the Keep It Simple Salmon. Looking forward to going back to try the Lake Erie Walleye.

    Food and service was very good as usual. Music in bar was very loud, hard time conversing at our table in dining area. I almost left.
