   This was our first time here and we were pleasantly surprised to find out that it is STK’s sister restaurant. The service from Tim was great and the food was amazing. Neil has done a great job with this restaurant as well and we are looking forward to becoming a frequent client.

   It was Christmas Day and the restaurant was a bit short staffed when we sat down to eat. I later learned that we arrived at the same time as several other groups and thus the back up. Beyond the slow start, the service was fantastic. The manager stepped in immediately to get our drink and appetizer orders going. He was great. Once things were rolling, our server, Brandon took over. I felt bad for Brandon as he was running hard to service multiple parties at the same time. I was extremely impressed by his energy and upbeat attitude despite being so busy. I would go back just to be served by Brandon again...amazing service! Beyond the service, the food was very good as well. I find that Cherry Creek North has many strong restaurants with many a varied and excellent menus. I will go to a new restaurant the 1st time to try the food as the expectation is the food will be good. I will come back because of the service. I will definitely be coming back here! We'll done!

   We had eleven people in our group. Brandon was absolutely the best. Brandon went out of his way to explain the menu and answer all our questions. We had a wonderful dinner and we were not rushed. We will be returning to Salt Water Social because of the excellent time we had. Again, I would like to give a special thanks to Brandon for making our Christmas dinner so special. I would also like to say Rickie was awesome too.❤️

   Christmas Day. So keep that in mind. The gal who greeted us was low key not up beat and kind of a downer as we walked in. Our server was thorough with the menu. Service was fast. I asked for 8 oysters and received 6. My wife ordered salmon medium well and it came out medium rare. The prime rib - which was Christmas special was cooked well but not seasoned at all. They did bring back the other two oysters and the salmon reheated. Then took them forever to cash us out. TBH I have high expectations especially at a restaurant in an area that promotes itself as high end. Overall - positive Christmas Day experience but a 6.5 out of ten.

   We made dinner reservations for Christmas Eve. The restaurant was beautiful and had a DJ who was spinning some great Christmas mashups. Our server Paige was simply wonderful and very attentive. All of our food was delicious, the only thing we collectively didn’t enjoy was the sweet potato purée, the spice flavor was overwhelming. We will definitely be back!

   We had a positive experience with the food and the service. The Spicy Yellowtail Crispy Rice app was delicious, and we both enjoyed the very fresh whole Branzino, at our excellent waiter, Sergio's suggestion. My expresso martini was served cold in a chilled glass, and the server cheerfully replaced a glass of wine when the one my partner ordered didn't suit. A few drawbacks; the seafood selection is not as robust as other seafood places we like (e.g., Watergrill), and the prices are much higher than normal, even for fine dining. The atmosphere was aesthetically pleasing, but having sports bar style tv's on during dinner didn't really make sense to me.

   We were given a tiny table for two, facing two TV screens despite restaurant being almost empty. Food was good but overly expensive. Nice decor but background of constant drumbeat. We wont be back.

    Seafood tower could not have been fresh. Clam chowder was oily with minimal clam. Lobster roll was tiny, also couldn’t have been fresh. I’d easily take my $450 and go anywhere else in cherry creek. This isn’t meant to sound personal, but I couldn’t be talked into coming back.
