A visit to Salt Water Social is truly magical! I tried a mix of their luxurious holiday specials and delicious dinner menu! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere and exceptional service set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. If you're looking to indulge, start with the jaw-dropping Seafood Tower for Two—a seafood lover's dream come true! Every bite, from the East & West Coast Oysters to the Hamachi Sashimi, is perfectly paired with flavorful sauces that elevate the experience. The Calamari Fritti is crispy, zesty perfection, and the entrees? Pure decadence! The Mermaid Surf & Turf and Prime Rib are absolute must-tries, and the Shrimp Scampi is a rich, garlicky delight. You can't skip the desserts! The Chocolate Cake is a chocoholic's paradise, and the Pineapple Cake with rum caramel sauce is a tropical escape on a plate. Pair it all with their signature Mermaid's Brewcocktail, and you're in heaven. Salt Water Social is the perfect place to celebrate in style. Highly recommend gathering your loved ones and planning a special occasion at this amazing restaurant.

The food was absolutely amazing, but what truly made our experience unforgettable was our waitress, Asiamarie. She is hands down one of the best servers we’ve ever had—period. From the moment we were seated, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu. She offered fantastic recommendations that we loved and checked on us just the right amount, always keeping our drinks full and our table perfectly taken care of. Her attentiveness, professionalism, and sweet personality made the entire dining experience exceptional. Restaurants need more servers like Asiamarie—she is a true asset and deserves recognition for the outstanding service she provides.

I have to say this was a Michelin star experience! Everything was delicious and Tyson was a server in training, yet behaved like an old pro! This restaurant was the cherry on top of our trip to Denver. 10/10 would definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Okay place to come to once, and not go back. The best thing about this place was the service. Our waiter, Jacob, was very friendly and energized. I really liked how he asked about our dietary restrictions or allergies prior to us ordering. Hostesses were very nice as well. Food was okay, I would not recommend yellowtail crispy rice as a starter (rice was gummy) but I would recommend roasted scallops as an entree. Honestly, there are other places that have better tasting/quality food for better/similar prices. The place was really crowded. It was very cramped where we got seated. We could hear clearly the conversation from tables to the left and right of us. Overall, for me, it was a good place to check out once and not want to go back.
