This is a great place for a nice happy hour after work. The small bites is enough to keep every satisfied and the entrees are fantastic if anyone wants a larger meal. The waiters are attentive and the service is quick.

Went 12/3/24 for a group retirement dinner. It was 630p and busy and the decor was nice with fireplaces at entrance. Arrived early so sat at the bar and had a cranberry lemon drop. I asked the bartender for a little extra cranberry juice which he said no problem. He advised it only had cranberry syrup so he understood why I might want more. We had a nice room with two tables. Our hors devours were chicken, beef and Brie on skewers and shrimp wrapped in bacon. We had a choice of two salads and three entrees. The open bar selected was beer and wine and had a nice selection. When it came time to serve they advised they had no Caesar salad and was that ok? Well if it wasn’t they didn’t offer anything but garden salad. Ok strange. The steak with chimmiuchi was drenched and it was spicy. It overpowered my flat iron steak and it should be on the side. Overall service was good however at the end I asked for tea with honey and lemon. Tea came and I waited. I asked again she seemed surprised again ok it happens. Then again 8 minutes later I had to ask a third time. By now my tea was cold. It was just awkward. Good had a good time and in all the food was good. I might try it for dinner again with a regular menu.

A nice casual place, the Ginger Salmon was very good. I was disappointed with the cappuccino. The flavor almost tasted burnt. Waitress was very good and offered honest opinions of the food.

I have been to Salt Creek Grille for many of occasions. We went for Thanksgiving this year and again it never disappoints. Salt Creek has a wonderful dining atmosphere as well as a great menu. Each time we have gone I have never been disappointed with their food. Each and every time the food is made to perfection. The service here is amazing as each of the team members is part of your dining experience even if they aren’t your team member taking care of you. I highly recommend dining at Salt Creek if you’re looking for a total eating experience. Well done again Salt Creek .

Everything was great. We cleaned the plates. Very nice dining room. Great selection of wines. The bunt butter cake was so good, I want to go back just for that.

I had the pleasure of dining at Salt Creek Grille in Princeton, and it was a fantastic experience. The restaurant itself is stunning—warm and inviting with rich brown wood decor that creates a cozy yet upscale atmosphere. Despite being quite busy for a Tuesday night, I was seated immediately, which I appreciated since I was in town on business and dining alone. I ordered the BBQ ribs with mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach, and I have to say, the ribs were some of the best I’ve ever had. They were smoky, tender, and fell right off the bone—absolutely delicious. The mashed potatoes were creamy, and the spinach was perfectly cooked, making for a well-rounded meal. My waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the prices were fair for the quality of food and service. If I find myself in the area again, I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

We received a gift certificate from our son. We drove in from New York and we had a fantastic meal, what a great afternoon . the food was cooked to perfection, I am adding a couple of pictures. I cannot wait to go back it is so worth the drive. Not to mention our server who was on point.
