Great food. Unfortunalely they are closing on NYE. The Thanksgiving dinner was great. I never had a bad meal in this restaurant. read more

Hadn't been back in years but saw we had gift cards that had to be used before they performed close. Didn't think they would be that busy on a Wednesday night so even though they no longer take reservations online we went. Surprised it was packed, an hour wait. Luckily we got a bar area table and didn't have to wait. We were happily surprised that everything was fine. Our server was terrific, and my Prime Rib special was the rare I ordered. Soup and salad we ordered were very good. Wine by the glass was half off. Desserts were fine too, only wished I knew to order the soufflé before my dinner, it does take more than a half hour. Now I'm sad that they are closing New Years for good. read more

So bummed that this place is closing, it was absolutely packed. Service was still fantastic and the food was incredible. The Chilean sea bass was perfectly cooked and seasoned. If you don't start off with that Asiago bread you're just plain wrong. read more

First time here. Special Occasion. Give it 4-5 stars for ambiance and location and service. Food was above average. Sour dough really good. Prime rib was cooked too much on outside. The wood fired steak was tasty but a small slab. Waffle fries were okay, waitress suggested it but should've maybe gone with Brussels sprouts. Will return again to try their burgers and sandwiches and drinks at the bar. A pleasant experience first time around. read more

My second time here and the staff was great! I loved the view overlooking the river, as it made for a great backdrop. Each time I've been here, the food has been absolutely amazing. The drinks are mixed to perfection. I recommend going before it closes, as I was told that it was going to close in the near future. read more

Salt Creek closed on December 31 2025 have gone there since the day it opened it was a great place where we would take our clients for dinner. We have celebrated many anniversaries and birthdays celebratory dinners when I receive my real estate license so many great memories. Will truly be missed. Thank you Salt Creek for the memories. read more

The food and service here is always top notch and because of that, Salt Creek Grille (any location), is one of our favorite places to eat at. At the Rumson location, the view is spectacular. Thanks so much for everything! read more

We are so lucky to have the Salt Creek Grill so close to home. The staff are always happy and professional, we can't see a bad seat int he dining room with a view of the river form almost every seat. The food is always great and the service is top shelf. I highly recommended this place for a nice date. Go see for yourself read more

It's rare to find a place where the service shines just as brightly as the food. We were extremely lucky to be seated in Rachel's section--her knowledge of the menu and her thoughtful approach tell me she's going places. We started with a rare tuna and avocado dish (Rachel's suggestion) that wasn't even on the menu--the flavors were spot on. We also had the fried burrata, which we chose ourselves, it's ok. For the main course, we went with the seabass, another one of Rachel's recommendations. Honestly, it was the best seabass I've ever had. Even the mashed potatoes were exceptional, asparagus perfectly cooked. We finished with the butter cake, which was, believe it or not, better than any I've had in the South. Do yourself a favor: ask to sit in Rachel's section, talk to her, and let her choose the dishes for you. You won't regret it. Love it read more

Great service and friendly staff . Food always tasty and Delicious Great view at the window tables Terry read more

Lovely decor inspired by the American Arts and Crafts movement-mica shade beanpot lamps ala Van Erp, Morris chairs, slag glass lanterns. Great spot on the Navesink, I always see herons swooping by. Generous portions for sharing appetizers. Pleasant staff, nice menu selection, well made drinks. I'd like the servers to recite the prices on the special, though. read more

We have gone to this place for years, but it appears to be losing its mojo. The smell of cheese and garlic was unbearable during our last visit. Is it me, or are the garlic fries too drenched in it? Carpeted floor does not give a modern vibe. Salad portions have absolutely shrunken. Burger was majorly overcooked and sushi bar is gone. read more

Usually love this restaurant. With the impending closure, to say service was poor is an understatement. Wait staff and runners were overwhelmed. Some tables waited 30 minutes for a drink to arrive from the bar. Our entrees were delicious (ribs and seabass). My grilled caesar salad arrived as torn up lettuce in a bowl which needed to be remade. My husbands salad arrived and we didn't have napkins or utensils. I have a gift card which needs to be used prior to the closure. If not for that, this would have been our final visit. Very sad. read more

First time here To start we had the sourdough loaf - good and big portions would recommend at least 3-4 people if you want to order we also go the stuffed jumbo shrimp which were amazing Dinner we wound up ordering sushi which was just okay probably wouldn't get this again because everyone else's entree's looked delicious and this left something to be desired. Got the infamous souflee it was good but so so rich and again probably need 3-4 people to order and enjoy and with just 2 of us it went to waste. Overall would come back just probably make different choices read more

Someone said, conventional wisdom says you go for the view not the food. If you can get a seat near the window the views of the Navesink are spectacular. The service is terrific - the food is overpriced for, at best, average food, small portions. I was hungry and looking forward to dinner - my 1 small crab cake over a pile of rice and 6 green beans left me unsatisfied. You're paying for the view and ambience NOT THE FOOD. 3 stars for the service and view. read more

Overall good food, great atmosphere and nice crowd. I would like to give a shout out to Shayne (bar back) he should be a bartender or something else, if it wasn't for him, our visit wouldn't have been as enjoyable. read more

It's closing so this is moot but the building is very dated, food was unimpressive, appetizer was overcooked, cocktails were very basic, and entrees were not worth what we paid for it, hope the new owners make a better restaurant out of it Service was fine read more

We haven't been to the SCG is a while as our last 2 experiences were not up to the usual standard. Received a gift card which prompted us to return. Happy to report it was great! read more

Good good good environment Food was good as well I would put this one on my list A great place to bring friends and family read more

Beautiful setting but very loud. Food was good and the staff was very accommodating. Would come back if in the area. Would love to sit on the outdoor patio. Looks amazing at sunset. read more

This place seems to be past it's prime. Food was not worth the prices. We went on a Saturday night, got an early 5pm reservation because we went with our 2 year old son. The service wasnt fast enough for what we needed. Google menu said they had sushi, but they dont. I've had much better short rib. read more

Salt Creek Grille has been a go to neighborhood spot for Sunday dinners, school event nights, birthday parties, big announcements and neighborhood friend dinners for us for 25 years and we will miss it deeply. Thank you for serving our community for 29 amazing years. read more

We went here yesterday evening for Christmas Eve Dinner. We've gone here several times in the past - both on holidays and otherwise - and we've always been happy with our meals, and enjoyed the experience. THE GOOD: We were seated promptly, and my Chilean Sea Bass was excellent. THE BAD: We had drinks, an appetizer (the bread), salad and entree. In short, we were done in 45 min, because each course was delivered before the previous one was finished. We barely started our appetizer, when the salads arrived. We pushed the bread aside quickly, so the server could put it down. I asked him to wait a second, but no such luck. The waitress had forgotten that I had asked for the salad dressing to be on the side - it was mixed in. When I was a third of the way through my salad, the entrees arrived. The server quickly asked if I wanted it boxed up. So much for enjoying eating it in the restaurant. I rarely push back, but I asked him why they didn't time the entrees out, so they arrived when we finished the salads. He shrugged his shoulders and apologized. Although my entree was great, my husband's was not. He had Prime Rib. He said it was chewy, hard to cut with a knife, and almost impossible to eat. Also, about the bread. When we moved the basket, there was a thick coating of fat left on the table. In hindsight I wished we hadn't gotten it. We had really been looking forward to this night. In the end it was obvious to us that either they were trying to turn over tables as quickly as possible, or there was a real lack of communication between service and the kitchen. When you pay close to $200 for dinner for two, we were expecting better. I doubt we'll go back anytime soon. read more

Solid. We really liked the ambience and service, food was good too. We ordered a bunch of apps to try, spinach dip & calamari. Also sushi, salt creek salad and French dip and pasta. The French dip and salad were very good! My friends liked what they ordered as well! Dessert was yummy! Would recommend! Also have valet parking! read more

Sadly, this was to be our last meal at the Salt Creek Grill...because after 30 years they've been sold are changing hands at the end of 2025! We've been enjoying it for every one of those years celebrating birthdays, baptisms, weddings and all of our anniversaries! Great food, terrific service from the staff and wow...what an incredible view of the Navesink River especially at sunset. So if you haven't been there...make your RESERVATION now! Highly recommended! read more

Get the sourdough bread ......valet your vehicle...not in that order though ............feed the ducks of hang out by the fire pit out front

Food was good. Made reservation 3 weeks in advance. We were given probably the worst seat in the house. Right by the door and waiting area where 30 degree wind blew in every minute. Snotty "host" said we could wait for different seat. Staff seems to be going through the motions until they close later this month. read more

Sorry to see it closing in December ! Great prime rib dinner specials! Great happy hour

Fabulous brunch spot and great for planning a large or small dinner party. I have come time and time again here. Never have had a bad experience. The cocktails go the mains are fantastic.

Been here a few times and has a nice relaxing vibe. Food was really good and my only complaint was the bartenders were slow with service, but very nice. read more

Everything food consistently good. The only thing is they need to have chocolate soufflés on Valentine's.

Great food with beautiful views Service was excellent Valet parking Nice bar with happy hour too! read more

This place was great! The menu is vast, there are options for everyone. It was a little bit too loud so it was difficult to manage even a close conversation, but other than that everyone was happy with the food and experience. My family has been coming here for ages and I will definitely be back. read more

Late review - had dinner on Mother's Day and was impressed. Great view and ambiance, oh and the food! I had the rack of ribs, and they were the best ribs I ever had. Had the Asiago cheese bread for an appetizer and it was delicious. I honestly don't remember what everyone else had, but they all enjoyed everything. Just made reservations for our anniversary next weekend. read more

Truly overpriced with mediocre quality food at best. Everyone raves about "the view". All well and good if you are seated near the windows. Any inboard seating you are staring at a 1/2 wall that separates interior from window seating so your view is of the people seated near you. We made the mistake of thinking this would be somewhat of an upscale experience. The loud atmosphere and overall quality landed as a very expensive notch or two above a "chain" type restaurant experience. read more
