   Renovation was well done. Service was solid. Food was very good but my filet was a bit over seasoned. What will likely keep us from returning any time soon was the horrible acoustics. We sat in the back of the restaurant and still couldn’t hear each other talk without screaming. Between the acoustics and piping the music in from the lounge ruined the atmosphere. They definitely need sound baffles to control the echo and reverberation.

   Hi John, We appreciate your feedback on your recent visit to Salt Creek Grille in Dana Point, CA. We're glad you enjoyed the renovation and found the service solid. We also appreciate your comment about the food being very good, though we regret to hear your filet was a bit over-seasoned. We understand your main concern is the acoustics; we're sorry the noise level, even in the back of the restaurant, made conversation difficult and that the combination of the acoustics and piped-in music detracted from your experience. We understand this impacted your overall experience and might deter you from returning soon, but we hope you'll reconsider in the future after we've had a chance to address this issue. Thank you for your honest and constructive feedback.

   Nice place have been here before a little disapointed this tome in appetizers. And they were out of the wine we wanted. Service and ambience were excellant. Maybe just an off night will definitely try again. Staff very friendly and awesome. Love the atmosphere

   This was our first visit to Salt Creek Grill after the new ownership and remodeling. Much improved and updated, great ambience with piano player/singer for our date night. Service was excellent and very attentive from Jason. Food was excellent, cost was on the high side. Overall highly recommend this place.
