People say this seafood restaurant offers quality dishes, including salmon, lobster bisque, and scallops, and a variety of cocktails. They highlight the reasonable prices, fun nautical theme, and live music. They also like the attentive and friendly service.
“We visited at the end of October. Our experience here went well. Maybe I had too high of expectations. I was just expecting it to be a little higher end, especially with their seafood selection and their prices. Our crab cake was great, but it left a bit to desire as it was only one crab cake. We were surprised that seating was kind of cramped and close to the bar. It wasn’t really the romantic date night experience I was anticipating. The tables are very close to one another and as the restaurant filled up, it became difficult to hear one another (I’m hard of hearing though). We both had the clam bake. The chicken was extremely off putting because it had no seasoning on it at all. The clam broth was a little bitter and our corn was pretty bad. The lobster was the best part. It was cooked perfectly and practically melted in our mouths. I wish I had just ordered that. While our food was a mixed bag, our waitress was the best. She was responsive, friendly, warm, and made sure our anniversary was special, despite our mismatched expectations. She went out of her way to make our night lovely and we really appreciated that. All in all, I would go back to try other dishes on a less busy day. I’m a huge seafood fan so it will be hard to stay away after tasting the lobster. It was mostly my fault for misunderstanding the atmosphere. Had I known it was more casual, and bar-like, I would have tempered my expectations and went on a week day. We still really appreciated the hard work of the restaurant staff. We had an enjoyable anniversary dinner because Salmon Dave’s staff seemed to really care about their patrons.”
“It was my first time here and it was amazing! The atmosphere so fresh and so clean. Love that even for a place that serves seafood, it smelled warm and welcoming when we walked in. Staff were AMAZING! Attentive and knowledgeable and great attitudes! The food was DELICIOUS!!!! Perfectly prepared, incredible portions, and just soooo yummy! So much to choose from and the drink menu was wonderful as well! I cant wait to go back!”
“First time here and absolutely love the place. The prices were very reasonable for seafood and the service was great. No issues to find parking in their parking lot at 6:30pm on a Saturday evening. Although it is a small parking lot so I think we got lucky. I was surprised they weren't busier to be honest. Interior has a fun nautical theme. They had a bar with tv attached to the dining room and the Guardians game was on so it did get a little loud when the Guardians scored but it wasn't super distracting. I will definitely be back!”
