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.”

    Sarah was a wonderful server who helped make my friend’s birthday celebration extra special. My friend greatly enjoyed the lobster bisque and lobster risotto. I started with the wedge Caesar salad, which was beautifully presented and delicious. And my simply prepared sautéed walleye with asparagus and mashed potatoes was tender, moist and flavorful. I have been enjoying Salmon Dave’s for more than 30 years and will be back again.

    Salmon Dave's is one of our favorite places to go, we have literally never had a bad experience here. The food is always prepared to perfection...and the cocktails were made just right! This is just a great place to dine and relax with a drink or two. A big shout out to our awesome server Russell M.

    Overall good service but the busing staff was very aggressive about clearing the table. Not giving time to finish food.
