Restaurant Review

The Salt Creek Grille is a classic American grill, one of several of a chain of California semi-upscale restaurants, has a polished atmosphere done up with mahogany, brass and a beautiful view of the Navesink River.

You come here for the atmosphere, and for the energy and excitement of a large turn out of the young, trendy bar crowd!

The menu is largely mesquite grilled steaks, chops, seafood and the usual salads, pasta, sandwiches, and burgers found in an American grille.

The fare is a bit pricey for the quality of food, but given it's location in high income Rumson, this is not surprising. The beef menu includes all natural Brandt beef selections of family-raised, fed, processed, humanely- handled beef with no growth hormones or antibiotics, in addition to many vegetarian options.

The service is young, energetic, and very friendly, but tends to be overstretched during the peak times.

They offer a good Sunday Brunch from 11am - 2:30pm, except on Mother's Day and Easter when they offer an excellent champagne brunch buffet with an omelet station, carving station, waffle station, peel -n-eat-shrimp, and more.

The Salt Creek Grille is kid friendly and offers valet parking.

They are open seven days/week @ 5pm
Happy Hour: Monday - Friday 4pm - 6:30pm

Champagne Brunch: Sunday 11am - 2:30pm

They are also open for all major holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, New Years Eve, and New Years Day.

How Do We Review (analyze) Restaurants?

New Jersey Leisure Guide strives to provide analytic restaurant reviews .

The methodology used is research, analysis driven --- as opposed to that of a single restaurant critic or a viewer comment posting board.

Data is gathered from our viewers e-mail restaurant comments, Internet research, and professional restaurant critics. The data is sorted, (weeding out the obvious biased, "bone to pick", and out of consensus comments), analyzed, and the review is created.
