The food was amazing, the service top Knox, however the inside was uncomfortably noisy so we had to move outside and it turned out great.

Sourdough bread,bluefin tuna, shrimp linguini, crab dip...all excellent! My first time there tonight. Service was amazing. Line dancing was so fun!

I've been to Salt Creek Grilled a few times now, and it's been a great experience every time. I stopped by for Wine Wednesday and shared the calamari and tuna tower, and both were really fresh and delicious. I ordered the carnitas plate and loved it. They also had a live musician playing, which gave the place a great vibe. The staff was friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes — the rock crab spinach dip is next on my list.

Went there for Sunday Brunch in the 18th of January. There were 7 of us and we sat outside. The service was super slow, the eggs were overcooked, the menu is lacking, the drink prices are high (house Bloody Mary is $18 with no fancy relishes ) I had to ask for the same thing over and over before it was brought, No manager on site and just a poorly managed restaurant. Don't waste your money on brunch her they are purely a dinner house.

Food was excellent. We got the ahi tower, carnitas, and baby back ribs (sub baked potato for fries). Food was fresh, hot when it came out, and good quality. Service absolutely lacked. We needed to flag down our server for everything. The moment we sat down he asked us for drink orders and said “sorry the bar is backed up so I'm gonna take them now.” He was terrible, but we'd return for the food and ambiance for a chance at better service!

Food was not good, salmon was dry and cod was too salty to even eat, spinach was too salty, Bread, Fried brussels sprouts and crème brûlée were good. Service was very good. The restaurant was so noisy. We couldn't wait to get out of there gave us a headache we couldn't even talk.. The ambience of the restaurant is nice. I think it's better to eat outside but the food really needs improvement.The ambience of the restaurant is nice. I think it's better to eat outside but the food really needs improvement.

First time here since reopening. Food was adequate but not great. I had the beef stroganoff and a Caesar salad. The beef was tough and the flavor muted. The salad was not great. Not a good value for our money. Won't be going back.

⭐️⭐️ New Year's Eve at Salt Creek Grille We were excited to spend New Year's Eve at Salt Creek Grille, but the evening didn't quite meet expectations. The food felt overpriced for the quality, and the atmosphere was louder and brighter than we hoped for a holiday dinner. We had also requested a specific server and table in advance but didn't receive either. After dinner, we learned the bar was closed and that we would need to go outside and wait in the rain to re‑enter for the band—despite having already paid the $50 cover. We ultimately decided to leave, which was disappointing since we were looking forward to the music. Overall, it wasn't the experience we had hoped for, though we appreciate the staff working on a busy night.

Great dinner and waiter! We'll be back again!! Food was great, one steak was undercooked, but other than that it was great!
Shannon
 Had a horrible experience here. My server didn't even know the menu, he did not get me silverware or serving plates. The food was overcooked and beyond salty. Seemed like a bunch of young kids running around who were stoned. The sourdough bread was chewy, dry, overcooked like a crouton. The prime rib was overcooked, dry. My server didn't even know what the specials were. Was way overpriced.
I love the new remodeled restaurant, great indoor and outdoor ambiance and service. Our waiter made great suggestions for food n drinks and brought a nice treat for my bday celebration. The dance floor was a nice addition, overall we had everything we wanted for a great evening under one roof!
John
Great food, and great service even though the restaurant was packed. I had the chowder and shrimp, my wife had the filet and my daughter had short ribs. A wonderful meal for all of us. This is our favorite restaurant in South Orange County.
Bill
We just love this restaurant. The food is amazing. The drinks were perfect. The service was beyond the 5 stars. Brandon was the best. We had 6 in our group and everyone loved the food. This place is our go-to place for a nice night out. But it is not cheap. Just know that before you go.

We've been to almost every restaurant in the area. This place has the best service by far. The food and drinks were great. Parking is really easy. We walked right in without a wait or reservation. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Salt Creek Grille OC is always a strong choice and they continue to raise the bar. We recently hosted an event in their new space and it worked perfectly for sports and group gatherings.
The setup was easy, the screens are great, and the atmosphere makes it ideal for watch parties or business events. Service was excellent from start to finish and everyone in our group kept talking about how good the food was.
Salt Creek Grille OC has a team that knows how to take care of guests and keep the experience smooth. Whether you are planning a special event or just coming in for a meal, they deliver quality and consistency every time.
