the service was absolutely terrible. it took 45 min just to get a glass of wine. i asked to get reassigned to another server when mine ‘thought’ that what i wanted would be celiac-friendly and ‘most things should be good’. 🤦🏼‍♀

i waited to review until the next day to make sure i didn’t get sick which i didn’t. the food tasted fine but the overall experience wasn’t worth the price or the headache.

I really enjoyed the burrata peach and pork belly appetizer, the artichoke appetizer and the short ribs entree. Delicious and will definitely be back! The staff is knowledgeable on what is and isn’t gluten free and ensured my dishes were safe.

This place was great! The staff was so helpful. There were things marked on the menu but there’s much more available if you ask. I had sushi with tamari sauce with the creme brûlée for dessert. The drinks are really good too.

The hubs and I just got back from a great dinner at Salt Creek Grille. It was our first time there and we really enjoyed our food and the overall experience. Steve was our waiter and he was great! Very knowledgable and friendly. They have GF options right on there main menu. I splurged and had the ribs and garlic fries. The ribs fell right off the bone, very moist and tasty. My hubby had the prime rib and mashed potatoes. He said the prime rib was good but we both loved his mashed potatoes. They even have a flourless chocolate cake with chocolate gelato which My hubby and I shared. We ate outside and the weather was perfect. We will definitely be back! Thx for our great service Steve!
