Salt Creek Grille - Mahi Mahi over brown rice with asparagus - New American Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

We had a really nice birthday lunch here. We took my mom here since she was wanting burgers and we were in the area for the day. Each of us got the cheeseburger and I got mine with bacon, aged white cheddar, and GF bread. It's nice that they have a lot of bread options to substitute the menu. I did order my burger medium rare but it came out well done. Honestly, I didn't mind since it didn't taste dry and had an interesting smoky flavor. The shoestring fries were incredible and crispy. The waitress even surprised us with a flourless cake with chocolate ice cream to celebrate, and it was delicious. Overall such a great time. read more

Anniversary dinner at Salt Creek was very good Started with pomegranate martini and blackberry smash, both very tasty. Then seafood chowder and Salt Creek house salad, both very good! Chowder's broth was very sophisticated and extremely well developed with lots of chunks of fish. I couldn't even tell you exactly what type of seafood was in there, but it was good! We both ordered 7oz filet for entree. My wife ordered hers medium and was cooked perfectly. Mine, however, was ordered medium well, but came very well done unfortunately, making it not as enjoyable as it should have been. My filet was about half the size as my wife's, which also annoyed me. Given the price per entree, I expected better. For dessert, we split the butter cake, which was great and well presented. Great atmosphere for an anniversary dinner. Service was only average considering such a nice, fancy environment imo.. read more

The service was great. My spicy shrimp app was delicious! I did not enjoy the ginger salmon dinner served with rice and asparagus. To me, it was flavorless. I also ordered a Spicy Paloma and their blackberry cocktail. It tasted like pure alcohol. The drinks were strong! Bathrooms were clean, plenty of parking. read more

If I could I would give it 3.5 stars but the service is what made me round up instead of down. You walk into a beautiful restaurant and a beautiful ambiance. I've been here before for an event, but this is the first time I've come for a full dinner. The variety that they offer in food is good for people of all pallets, however that means there won't be multiple version of one protein. The service was excellent and was the best part of the experience. Even the manager stopped by to talk to us after our appetizer which I loved. DRINKS All the drinks were absolutely delicious. Tajín margarita Moscow Mule Spiced red wine APPETIZERS Brussel sprouts- they were a little better then okay but a little too soggy for my liking. Salt and vinegar potato chips- delicious and addicting. Warm sourdough loaf - to die for. ENTREE- Nothing really stood out as something we would need to come back for even if it was good. Nothing special. All the sushi rolls were good and filling. Unfortunately don't remember the names of them. Salt creek house salad- was okay it needed something else in it. Ribs- were delicious. Fries- one of the worst I've ever had. Soggy skinny and unappetizing. The special of barramundi was dry. The steak was pretty good. The salmon was pretty good as well. Dessert- 2 Butter Cakes - was disappointed. I've had the butter cake before here just a sample for an event and there was options for a Caramel or strawberry last time and for the dessert on the menu there was no option and the strawberry wasn't as good and the cake wasn't even hot. read more

I normally don't review big-time "chains" like these, but we were treated so incredibly well. We attended one of the Yelp Elite events awhile back and their private space was super spacious and welcoming. From wine connoisseurs, open bars and food stations, make sure this is your next venue for your big corporate holiday party! read more

I came In for Happy Hour and to watch a baseball game and was greeted quickly at my seat at the bar. There were happy hour menus everywhere and there was an interesting mix of American and sushi options as well as half priced drafts and wine. I ordered strictly off the happy hour menu and was thrilled with the salmon nigiri, seaweed salad, and sushi roll I ordered. The bartender was attentive and kind and repeatedly checked in with me. The bar area was a tad loud with high ceilings, but not so loud I couldn't talk on the phone or listen to the game on my AirPods. Highly recommend a good meal at this place. read more

Salt Creek Grille - Herb-Crusted Filet with Mashed Potatoes & Sauteed Spinach - New American Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

What a great family dinner we had this past Saturday evening. Alyssa P was our server and she did a great job and was very personable with great recommendations. I haven't been to this location in a few years and it didn't disappoint. We usually go to the Rumson location as it's closer to home. Drinks and appetizers were very tasty. Brussels sprouts & Burrata salad were very good and everyone enjoyed them. 3 of us ordered the Parmesan- Crusted Filet and there were 3 clean plates ! I ordered the slow roasted half-chicken and it was very tasty and a nice sized portion. Dessert was also yummy as we celebrated a birthday with Flourless chocolate Cake & Butter Cake. I didn't try it but seems like the butter cake got high reviews!! Heather helped us redeem our gift certificate and she was so super helpful. I'm so excited for the upcoming Holiday Gift certificate deal that's coming up again around Black Friday. You buy $100 of gift cards and you get one free. Yes, $100 free. It's an amazing deal and I'm looking forward to visiting Salt Creek Grill again very soon. It's a beautiful restaurant and in a great location. Amazing vibe inside too. We will be back! read more

It has been about 3 years since I've been to Salt Creek Grille. However, I have been frequenting this restaurant for years. I recently came for Happy Hour, but I've had dinner here a handful of times also. The Happy Hour runs from 4:00 - 6:00. All wines by the glass and draft beer are 1/2 price. There is a happy hour food menu, but other establishments offer better happy hour food deals. We ordered the Edamame, Spicy Tuna Roll and Shrimp Tempura Roll. I didn't find the prices to be anything specials, but the food was fine. It was hard at times to get the attention of our bartender, since the bar was packed. The main draw of Salt Creek Grill is the great vibe and energy. From the long wooden communal center table, to the high ceilings, to the outdoor patios and fireplaces, it's a great place to hang out all year round. It's always been a fun spot to meet up with friends after work or the occasional evening dinner. read more

We always go to the Rumson Salt Creek Grill. We thought we try the Princeton place! Horrible experience. It's dark and dingy. It is not the same menu. Ribs came out cool and tons of sauce! The side of broccoli was not sautéed properly. My husband's Italian beef sandwich was small, and the- sauce was watery! Do not go! Definitely go to Rumson! read more

Always crowded with happy smiling faces who apparently dig the Epcot inspired interpretation of an Aspen Colorado aerie stuck on the outskirts of a moribund outdoor mall. The food is fast casual mediocre with pricing that suggests a slow formal gouge. Someone always wants to come here so I just smile and wait for their gushing approval that usually ends with "cool." I think it's time to resurrect one of those Yelp catchphrases from days gone by... Meh. That about sums it up. read more

I had the Apple Butter & Sage Pork Chop with a glass of pino nior for a solo dinner. Great service, nice ambiance and amazing food. Needless to say best pork chop of my life! The pomegranate martini is very refreshing- highly recommend! The Coffee-Encrusted New York Strip is also a great option if you are not into pork. The coffee-encrust taste was perfect read more

Happy Friyay Adventurers! I was able to attend an event here so grabbing dinner afterwards was the smart thing to do, because WOW! The food was so good, I wanted to order at least 3 other dishes, but was pretty stuffed between the 3 items I already ordered. First off, the ambiance of this place it gorgeous, especially for a date night. There's plenty of seating which included community table style seating however, it is recommend to get a reservation on the busier evenings. I can see a lot after work corporate meetups happening here. Secondly, the variety of foods on the menu runs from steaks, pastas, seafood, to sushi items. So you get a bit of everything while being able to do a tapas style eating. I ordered the spicy Calabrian shrimp which it def packed a kick, I loved it! Ended up taking half home and made lunch the next with pasta. I love a harvest style salad, so I ordered they house salad because the candied walnuts complimented the vinaigrette so well. I also ordered the fresh burrata because yah girl LOVES crostini and cheese. Man it's very much what I make at home and I was in love. The even had garlic confit to smear on the crostini toast. My most exciting moment was ordering a martini. I've been trying to get into my dirty martini era but haven't *quite* made it yet. The French pear Martini is perfect for the fall seasons--not too sweat or alcoholy. Hopefully next time I can try other dishes and drinks. Highly recommend for a nice dinner out. read more

Food was amazing. Short ribs with cheesy grits do not disappoint. Staff courteous and beautiful setting.

Was asked for a reservation as soon as we came in on a Saturday evening. They gladly accepted without one though, there were ample seats anyway so we didn't have to wait. A little formal ambiance but of course, they accept anyone wearing casual! Our server was really nice and he comes not so very often but every time we needed him! Perfect timing and never asks while we're chewing our food! LOL! Food were all great! Mac and cheese, not so worth it just becausenof the serving. The kid's baby back rib's like an adult serving for me! The sourdough loaf is not pull-apart, kind hard to pull apart actually but was good so yeah, we liked it. Nice event place for birthdays and special gatherings too. Walking distance from Westin and mall area with ample parking. read more

Solid American steakhouse offering a variety of American dishes including some foreign inspired ones as well. For my main course, I ordered the Tamari Ginger Flatiron Steak. The steak was a bit small but cooked to a perfect medium as requested. It was nice and slightly charred on the outside and very tender on the inside. It was also pre-cut into bit sized pieces, which I appreciated but maybe some steak purists wouldn't like so much. The Peruvian salsa verde on the steak added some nice herbal flavor to accompany the savoriness of the steak. The steak came with asiago garlic fries, which were very tasty but kind got stuck together and a few were quite hard. The arugula/tomatoes/onion salad on the side was standard. The price of $32 for the dish was fine considering the steak quality and portion size. In addition to the steak dish, I also tried the Crispy Brussel Sprouts ($16), which were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a nice flavor, and the Fajita Hummus ($16), which was tasty with the pita bread to go with it. The restaurant is quite large with high ceilings and lots of seating inside. There is a large parking lot out front, which is convenient. The service speed is a bit slow, but we did have a large group. The staff are friendly and helpful. Overall, Salt Creek Grille is somewhat on the pricey side but not bad for a steakhouse. The food is generally quite good, so I would certainly recommend it if you are looking for a steakhouse/American food in the Princeton area. read more

Enjoyed a lunch at salt creek for the first time with some colleagues. Was welcomed walking in by what looks like the manager which is always a nice touch. After being seated, our waiter was pretty friendly in getting us settled and taking food and drink orders. I decided to go with the Creek burger. It's a lot of pressure on an item when you name it after the establishment and I thankful that the burger lived up to its name. Really good burger accompanied by really good fries. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. I'll definitely visit again in the near future and try different items off the menu. read more

Good Food, Good Service ++. Ambiance is spacious lodge that evokes Western understated but grand hotels. Decent size bar too. Food is better with interesting twists even though the menu reads typical. + Hummus itself is veggies and comes with sliced pita but no sliced vegetables! ++ Bacon wrapped grilled shrimp - mWah! ++ Sourdough boule has MELTED butter IN it +. Caesar salad - good ++ House salad (added grill chicken breast) tasted great but wasn't as pretty as Yelp pics ++. Service is better than average even though they are understaffed. Wasn't underserved. +. Price is reasonable +. Parking is free shared lot Worth a revisit! read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday. They serve classic American cuisine. During lunch hours they have open seating in the bar area. The main dining room is reserved for dinner service. There is also outdoor seating. The interior of the restaurant is kind of dark with all of the wood, but there are big windows looking out on greenery. I had the cheeseburger which I really enjoyed. I had been wanting a burger for a few days now, and this one didn't disappoint. However, I expected for the fries since they were cold. It seemed like they had just grabbed a bunch from under the heat lamp. This was disappointing especially since there were only 2 other parties in the restaurant at the time. The service was fine- not bad but not excellent either. read more

Went on a sat night, was not full so noise level was very low and nice. Appetizers of salt & vinegar chips and its sauce, as well as warm sour dough loaf with garlic and asiago are really tasty, just wish bread was fully sliced thru for easier serving Tamari flat iron steak lacked enough seasoning but, temperature cook was perfect. Coffee encrusted new York strip was seasoned and cooked well. The bit surprise hit was the Apple Butter & Sage pork chop, that was extremely good. Shared pieces with the table, everyone agree they should have gotten that. In addition, the sweet potato fries with the pork were also very good. I swapped out broccolini for sauteed spinach, but took a picture from a friends regular serving. Will be back for this dish. Consider trying it, it's that good. Desert was flourless chocolate cake which tasted more closer to a brownie, but its rich chocolate ice cream makes up for it. The daily special cheesecake was described as pumpkin cheesecake, cinnamon cream on Graham cracker crust but the staff forgot to mention a nut (likely Pecan) topping. Luckily its clearly visible when served but for people who don't like Pecan or are nut allergic is a big omission. Be watchful with gift cards as one I provided was skipped initially but I caught their mistake. read more

We arrived on Saturday evening around 8:30 pm and did not have a reservation - table for 3. We were told we would have to sit in the bar area but same menu as main restaurant. The restaurant side was pretty empty. We checked it out. We politely agreed to the bar area where there were many others, with kids, like us. Several very larger groups of all ages in the bar. No one actually sitting at the bar. True we didn't plan ahead for our arrival but find it odd that they would corral everyone into the bar area. Service was fine. Food was pretty good. We are locals and come once a year here at most. I just found it odd for such a large place to make large parties sit in the bar? It didn't impact our experience but seemed unfriendly. read more

I would call this a corporate dinner spot. Right next to hotel and not much else in the area. TThe menu is quite extensive. It goes from sushi to regular items like steak , chicken and fish. We went here after a big work event for a quick dinner. The service is good. I was a little put off by some fruit flies by our table, doenst exactly leave a good impression. The foot itself was fine, sushi had too much sauce that made everything taste the same. The salads were good, but generic catering is what I would describe them as. Convinient if you are staying in hotel next door, but if you have time venture out further for better dinner options. read more
