   Went for Easter Brunch. First time here and expected prices to be higher than the local diner for brunch, but expected more for the dollar. Service was outstanding but the food was just OK. Portions were small for the price and the bloody mary was a little too spicy to finish. The service was fantastic, but for the $168 bill for a brunch for two left wondering if I could have had better food for less money somewhere else. Probably will not go back anytime soon.

   We had dinner at Salt Water Social in Cherry Creek on Friday night and the vibes were immaculate. The food and drinks were a 10/10 as always! The bartender made us a passion fruit sidecar and that drink was so good. Everything was great! Thank you for having us and I definitely recommend Salt Water Social for any and every occasion.

   Our waiter was amazing the rest was just mediocre. The atmosphere was already very outdated.

   It is way overpriced for the food and the service. The food and drinks were not terrible, but for how expensive it is I expected to have a way better experience. Also, there were not a lot of people in the restaurant and our service was extremely slow.

   The food was good but the drinks were too expensive. The waitress did her best but service was slow. Not child friendly.

   I was really looking forward to trying Salt Water Social, but unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. Our server was pushy and kept upselling us throughout the meal, which felt more aggressive than helpful. We ordered a side of crab fried rice listed at $15, only to be charged $26 for it with no explanation. When it came time to pay, we split the bill at $60 each. However, the gratuity screen suggested a $20 tip per person for a 20% gratuity—which is completely inaccurate. Twenty percent of $60 is $12, not $20. This felt deceptive and left a bad taste in our mouths. Between the unexpected upcharges and the misleading tip suggestions, it feels like this place is more focused on squeezing every dollar out of its guests than creating a great dining experience. Definitely disappointing, and I’m not sure I’d return.

    Terrific food. Fantastic service. Marko was very attentive. A little noisy. Very pricey. Great for expense account dinners and for the well-heeled.
