   Salt Creek Grille exceeded all my expectations. All the food was exceptional, fresh and creative. I enjoyed the most delicious and delicate crab cake I have ever had in CA! That is high praise coming from a woman living in Baltimore for 20 years! The service was personable and professional. I am not sure of the very nice gentleman’s name. He was instrumental in making the brunch enjoyable with his attentive nature. BRAVO!!!!!!

   Front older hostess wasn’t friendly at all, never mind but I had to ask another person when our reservation seats are available. Menu was limited, overpriced for the portion and quality, steak was cold instead of raw even not sealed on the griller…. Not even enough fancy for the amount charged. Left good tip since the waitress did good her work. Not going back for sure.

   Although it was New Year's Eve, we waited for about 30 minutes to be seated despite a 7:30 pm reservation. The server tried to be attentive but he seemed a bit stressed and service was slow. My tuna and asparagus were very good, but my husband had to fight to cut up the chicken he ordered. Our friend's husband experienced the same issue the the chicken, but she enjoyed her spinach salad with salmon. We never got the loaf of bread we ordered for the table to share. The waiter did take it off of our bill. The noise level was high. Again, it was New Year's Eve, but we had trouble when trying to converse. The prices are a bit high. We used to come here before it was closed and now reopened. Not sure we will return anytime soon.

   We were sat over an hour after our reservation time. I had to go back to the front desk, and they told me they thought they sat us already. Then I ordered a steak medium well, and it came out rare. Send it back, and after 2 trips, it was well done. I'm not happy with any of it.

   No valet parking on New Years was disappointing. Made reservations on Open Table and we were not seated for 35 minutes after our reservation. However, the food and service were good.

   Salads, tacos, roasted chicken, stroganoff, and pork chop were all top notch! Cooked perfectly and served at the perfect temperature. A great birthday dinner!

   This was our first time at Salt Creek Grille. The food and drinks are excellent. We did have one of our drinks come out not tasting that good and once asking the server she gladly went and had another made without a smile on her face which is amazing. Cory the server had made great recommendations and was a pleasure to have as our server. Top notch service.
