I want to start by saying I love seafood but I’ve always been very particular especially living in Colorado. That being said, this is the some of the best seafood I’ve ever had and definitely the best in the Denver area! There was not one thing I ate that I didn’t enjoy. The oysters were incredible, the steak was delicious, and the dessert was the best way to finish up a great meal! Everything from the drinks, to the food, to the service and ambience was absolutely amazing! Brandon and Jess were our servers and they were so knowledgeable, helpful, and really ensured we had the best experience. I can’t wait to go back!

Saltwater Social is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had! The food was absolutely incredible—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients and the creativity of their menu. What made the experience even better was the amazing staff. Our waiters, Katy and Brad, were so kind, attentive, and patient, making sure every detail was just right. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. Executive Sous Chef DaVonte was so kind and even checked on us personally, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food he prepared was cooked to absolute perfection! The entire staff had a warm and welcoming attitude that made the atmosphere feel relaxed and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a place with exceptional food and service, Saltwater Social is it! I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Salt Water Social and I just had to share my fantastic experience! Christopher, our waiter, truly went above and beyond to make our meal memorable. He was attentive, friendly, and genuinely seemed to enjoy his work, which made our dining experience all the more enjoyable. His recommendations were spot on, and he ensured our table was always taken care of, all with a smile. A big shout-out also goes to Neil, the General Manager. It was clear he genuinely cared about ensuring we had an exceptional time. He checked in on us throughout the evening, making sure everything was perfect and that we were enjoying ourselves. His attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction made the evening feel extra special. I look forward to returning to Salt Water Social again soon! Highly recommend this place for both the great food and outstanding service!

If you’re looking for a girls' night spot that’s all about great vibes, killer food, and Insta-worthy cocktails, Salt Water Social is the move. My girls and I went a couple weeks ago, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint. We started with the Spicy Yellowtail Crispy Rice, and OMG, I could’ve eaten a whole plate of those. Then, we tried the Caviar Pizza (because why not?), and it was bougie in the best way. The Dungeness Crab Cake was crispy, lemony, and basically everything. For mains, we split the Truffle Rigatoni (so creamy and rich) and the Surf & Turf because we were feeling fancy. But the real star? The Maine Lobster Roll. Perfectly buttery and came with Old Bay chips that we were obsessed with. Drinks were a whole vibe too. The Siren’s Kiss was super cute with a marshmallow pop, and the Mermaid’s Brew legit tasted like a tropical vacay. We each had, like, three. No regrets. Bottom line: Salt Water Social is perfect for catching up with your besties, snapping pics, and living your best life. Already planning our next girls' night here.

I was invited to Salt Water Social and let me just say the food is absolutely delicious! I went with my boyfriend and we tried different types of appetizers, entrees, and desserts! For appetizers we tried oysters for the first time, they tasted so fresh and delicious! The caviar pizza, up to this day, lives rent free in my head! The dough was so soft, the ingredients were fresh and overall the best pizza I’ve ever had! For the entrees, we tried the Main Lobster roll, Rigatoni Pasta (this also lives rent free in my head!), a filet that literally melted when you bit into it. Now, the desserts, let me just start by saying PLEASE try the lava cake! 5/5 stars, the cheese cake cones are super cute and yummy — everything from start to finish was really really tasty! Lastly, neither my boyfriend nor I drink alcohol, and I loved how we still had a decent amount of drinks to choose from! The service was excellent, our server was great and had an amazing energy! I definitely see us coming back in the future!

Great seafood. You’d expect that it will be good, but it’s great. Cooked well. Iced appetizer plates. Cold oysters and hot dinner plates. Go here to relax and take your time. It’s not fast food or rushed. Cool vibe. Makes you feel like your flew to a port city to have dinner.

We had such an incredible night at Saltwater Social in Denver. Logan took great care of us friendly, attentive, and made the whole evening smooth and relaxed. Evan, the GM, was also amazing. He made us feel genuinely welcomed and was quick to help with anything we needed. You could tell he cared about creating a great experience. The vibe, the service, everything made it a special night we won’t forget. Can’t wait to come back!
