Salt Water Social
You have to check out this new seafood restaurant in Cherry Creek…
Salt Water Social has just opened its doors, and let me tell you, it's a must-try for anyone who appreciates fresh, innovative seafood served in a seriously stylish setting. My girlfriends and I recently had a girls' night out at Salt Water Social, and it was an experience we won't soon forget. The vibe was upscale with a touch of nautical chic & the stars of the show were the cocktails & food.
Service was on point & server Charlie & Manager Neil ensured we had everything we needed while we dined.
For Share-ables we had the Oysters, Spicy Yellowtail Crispy Rice, Caviar Pizza & Dungeness Crab Cake.
The oysters were plump and briny, with a clean, refreshing finish.
The Spicy Yellowtail Crispy Rice was made with yellowtail, pickled Fresno, & unagi sauce. The crispy rice was a crowd favorite and had the perfect kick of heat from the pickled Fresno peppers. The unagi sauce added a touch of savory sweetness.
The Caviar Pizza was made with lemon cream, choice of caviar, & chives. The creamy lemon base & chew of the pizza dough perfectly balanced the richness of the caviar. The subtle chive fragrance added a layer of complexity to each bite.
The Dungeness Crab Cake was made with roasted corn, fennel, & lemon hollandaise. The perfectly golden exterior gave way to the tender, flaky crab meat within while the roasted corn added a touch of sweetness and pop in texture. The creamy hollandaise tied everything together with a rich, tangy finish.
The Lil Brgs were made with wagyu beef, special sauce, & sesame seed bun.
For the Surf & Turf, we got to choose our steak & seafood. We had the NY Strip 12oz with Truffle Butter & Maine Lobster Thermidor. The steak arrived sizzling, and the first cut revealed a juicy, tender interior. The truffle butter added a touch of earthy decadence to the meat. The lobster thermidor was the highlight here - pure buttery indulgence and we loved the addition of the breadcrumbs.
The Maine Lobster Roll was made with poached lobster salad, lemon zest, butter roll, & served with old bay chips. The poached lobster salad was dressed with a touch of lemon zest, adding a bright, refreshing note. The salad was nestled in a toasted butter roll that had a satisfying crunch.
The Mushroom & Truffle Rigatoni was made with pecorino, braised mushrooms, & shaved black truffle. The al dente rigatoni provided a satisfying bite, while the braised mushrooms offered a soft, meaty counterpoint. The pecorino cheese added a sharp tang, and the shaved black truffle elevated the dish.
The San Francisco Style Cioppino was made with scallops, mussels, clams, Dungeness crab, market fish, herbed tomato seafood soup, & grilled sourdough bread.
We ended the night on a sweet note with some decadent desserts - the Flambé Banana Foster, Chocolate Cake, & Cheesecake Cones. The Flambé Banana Foster was our favorite - the warm bananas bathed in a boozy rum sauce were pure sweet, sticky heaven.
Salt Water Social was more than just a meal; it was an experience. From the stylish ambiance to the innovative and delicious seafood dishes, it's a place that will leave you wanting to come back for more. So, gather your crew and set sail for Salt Water Social – your taste buds will thank you for it!
