Salt Creek Grille, Rumson, NJ:  A Restaurant Review

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

This is a popular dining spot for locals who come here for the atmosphere, the energy, and for their mesquite-inspired menu.

The setting on the banks of the Navesink river is the scene for stunning waterfront views along with an outdoor seating area with fire pits near the entrance. The interior is glowing with ambiance. There are dimly lit booths with softly glowing lanterns, and window seats overlooking the Navesink.

The large spacious interior can seat over 200 in the main dining room, 65 at the bar, and an additional 150 people in their banquet facility.

The menu offers a variety of mesquite grilled steaks, chops, seafood and the usual salads, pasta, sandwiches, and burgers found in an American grille.
