    Blueberry Mojito
    Amber S.

    It took us a second to find, but this is a gorgeous establishment that deserves a visit. The ambiance is exactly what you need if you want a low-key night out, but are looking for guaranteed quality experience. This place has a fully stocked bar and their craft cocktails are amazing. The owner as well as the staff are super attentive, and made the experience that much better. There's plenty of seating inside, but there's also a patio overlooking water outside, as well as heaters in case you're like me and get chilly. I'm just visiting but when I come back, I'll definitely go here!

    Would definitely recommend this spot. Wonderful ambience and deliciously hand crafted drinks. Knowledgeable bartenders. Clean place. Quick service.

    The scallops my wife had were the biggest I've ever seen or tasted. They were cooked perfectly and…read morethat is no easy feat, they can be overcooked in less than 30 seconds, I know! I had the fried combo platter, delicious! Now this is not an upscale restaurant, but it's not meant to be. It has a new owner within the past year and it has improved. It's always been good, now it's just much better. And don't forget the salted rimmed Margarita. Our waiter, Owen seemed right at home talking with customers, regulars, behind the bar or serving food. You all would do well to keep him.

    I'm glad others have had a good experience. The bartender and vibe were the only good parts about…read moreour visit. The glass lights above the bar are really pretty and the decor fits. Drinks were delicious, I reccomend the blueberry margarita. The beers are crispy cold. However, the food sucked. I'm one who will rave and will complement anything I possibly can- even in negative situations. When you sit in the bar, the first of three booths holds serving equipment and an employee texting and chatting with another. Okay, no worries. We ordered a Mike's spicy chicken sandwich and an order of the snapperz shrimp appetizer. My husband loves all chicken sandwiches. Even the bad ones. But even he said, this is the worst he's had. The jalapeños weren't dried, causing the bun to be soggy. He said the patty was clearly frozen and the cheese, while ample, made the sandwich extra sloppy. The fries, extra crispy, were the stand out of his meal. My shrimp... were not cleaned, over cooked, AND ROTTEN. People, you know that sour fishy smell anywhere if you eat enough seafood. No thank you. She didn't introduce herself, but what I assume to be the manager did apologize right before taking a speakerphone conversation with a family member. We are not interested in returning.

    We had a wonderful experience at Saltwater Grill in Swansboro! I ordered the Angels on Horseback…read moreand loved the flavors, especially the delicious reduction and everything that accompanied the dish. The only thing I didn't care for was the risotto, but everything else was so good that it certainly didn't take away from the overall experience. My husband had the seared ahi tuna, which was excellent, and everyone in our group really enjoyed their meals. We finished with key lime pie and cheesecake, and both were delicious! The drinks were fantastic too. Danielle, our waitress, was an absolute charm. She was friendly, attentive, and a wonderful part of our evening. Great food, great service, and a great time with friends. Definitely a five-star experience!

    We recently moved to the area and chose Saltwater Grill to celebrate a special family occasion,…read morehoping it would become one of our new favorite restaurants. Instead, it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've ever had. From the beginning, things felt off. Our server was wearing basketball shorts, which seemed completely inappropriate for the atmosphere and setting of the restaurant. The wait for our food was excessive, and when it finally arrived, it was almost entirely inedible. The food was cold, the broccoli was essentially raw, the rice and risotto looked and tasted nothing like they should, and every meal at the table was disappointing. For a bill of over $300, not a single person in our party left satisfied. To make matters worse, we noticed the restaurant had a B sanitation rating, which certainly didn't inspire confidence after the quality of the meal we received. The waterfront location is beautiful, but that's where the positives end. When you're paying premium prices for a special celebration, you expect quality food, attentive service, and a memorable experience. Unfortunately, we got none of those. We won't be returning, and I couldn't recommend Saltwater Grill to friends, family, or anyone looking for a nice meal in the area.

The hostess guided us to our table suitable for our party which was 4 adults and three children. The environment is lively and spirited; all signs of a good visit to come. Savannah S was our server and did a fantastic job navigating the chaotic children with us and delivering great service with a smile. The food was great as usual. I ordered the smothered chicken while others ordered grilled salmon and sesame glazed salmon bowl. You don't get fine china and plates here, but what you will get is a consistent good time with an abundance of drink and menu items that deliver as promised. It's why we enjoy coming here every year and will continue in the future!

    My family and I were vacationing in Emerald Isle and chose this restaurant for one of our evening…read moremeals. On June 24th, we first attempted to call the restaurant multiple times in order to place an order. So my husband and I chose to drive to the restaurant to place a carry out order and wait. When the hostess was placing the order, she said that anything over $100 would impose a 18% gratuity. This was a carry out order. We were not being seated in the restaurant. The hostess got the manager Amber. Amber was not receptive at all to our point that this was a carry out order. Our choice to tip or not is our choice. The order was $103. Really. Wow. My daughter insisted she would pay the tip. But my husband and I will not set foot inside this establishment again. Very disappointing. First we were told that the phones were working, but I got a message saying the voicemail had not been set up. Second, we drove in thinking we had to pay to park. Third we placed the order, but, I had to call my daughter to get additional info about cooking preferances. Fourth, we placed the order with the hostess who then tells us there is a 18% tip imposed on orders over $100. The order was $103 (after my husband and I dropped our meals from the order). This is absolutely absurd. Very frustrating evening for my husband and I. We are on vacation, and this is the hospitality shown to visitors. We asked to split the order, so that I could place an order for my daughter and my husband could place an order for us. But oh no, you can't do that. And then we were told that there would be a charge to use a credit card. Do you know how to rub salt in the wound. We paid $133.89 for a carry out food order that was barely over $100.
