   Happy Hour was spectacular and the Lobster Mac and Cheese was amazing! Andrew, our server, is a master at his craft and guided us through one of the best dining experiences during our stay in the Gaslamp District.

   Had to send back filet twice and one member of the party had to leave early to get food elsewhere.

   It was great overall but they charged us for slicing the steak… which we never asked for. But other than that it was a great experience and everyone was very friendly

   The meal was spectacular! The service, even better! We sat outside and were lucky enough to be right next to a 2 man band playing on the street corner. Awesome experience. Dinner and a show! My husband loved his birthday dinner here.

   Uncle and I, ate at the bar. Our Server, Chelsie was attentive, responsive, smart, kind, knowledgeable, and beautiful from the inside out. The Saltwater Grill delivered in regards to quality and service. I went to San Diego, expecting a quality seafood meal at the Gas Lamp District. That is what I 'got'.

   Food is just so so, we first had the calamari and the breading is tasteless , the Caesar salad had way too much dressing, and the linguini with clams was just ok. My friend had the salmon which she liked. We sat outside which was very nice, lots of people watching. I would not rave about the food.

    Very interesting seating. You can sit outside where you are literally in the street next to a crosswalk. Perfect if you like people watching and the bustle of Gaslamp. Sitting inside is much more relaxed with gentle, upbeat music, and soft lighting. Overall the restaurant was great! The server was very attentive but not overbearing. He seemed to be around just enough to take care of us but didn't interrupt our conversation. Hard to explain but he did a great job. Absolutely book a table here.

    Food and service were outstanding! The seafood was delicately prepared so that nothing interfered with the inherent natural flavor. The oysters were rather small but not unexpected for the West Coast variety. We didn't order steaks but the steak tartare was excellent. The only drawback was that we were seated outside and the outdoor heater was far too strong. But we managed to find another table to accommodate us comfortably. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

    The appetizers, oysters, soup, salad and sides were fantastic! However none of our party of 12 were happy with their main courses. We ordered a variety of items, fish, pasta and steak, sadly they were all a miss for our group. We had a private room which was in desperate need of paint. The room had a horrible echo which made it very hard to have conversations during a business dinner. A large tapestry on even one wall would help tremendously. The staff was helpful and did their best but it was obvious they were short staffed for a convention being in town. The restrooms were not clean and some of our group were served drinks with old lipstick on the glasses.

    I chose Saltwater based on the menu shown on the website. None of the dishes I wanted to try were on the actual menu. The restaurant is attractive, but the tables are far too close together. As diners arrived, the noise level became deafening; it was impossible to hear my dining partner.

    Poorly run restaurant, top to bottom. Manager yelled at the hostess in front of guests. There was an air of tension from the start, as though ruled with an iron fist. Manager set up his office at a table in the dining room, including charging cord, files, manuals, etc. Food wasn't inspected coming out of the kitchen. Staff worked hard, but too hard, too fast, and it lost the niceties of eating out. I was stained with oil, and the lamb chops came out raw, and then came back improperly cooked. I make better lamb at home... Steer somewhere else for your money.

    I wanted a special place to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. She had been asking for a true caviar experience for a while. Saltwater came through perfectly. Caviar came with all the fixings and nicely presented. It was truly a special event. I had the oyster appetizer, again with all the fixings, and I was happy. For the main course she had the stuffed lobster, which is quite a production. Comes complete with tails, huge claws and the stuffing. I had to help her finish it there was so much tasty meat. I had scallops, one of my favorites, and they were the best I have had in a restaurant. My wife loved the portholes with the view of the moving ocean waves. I enjoyed the busy street view. The staff was super attentive without being intrusive. Perfect timing for when to remove a plate and offer up the next. Had to pass on desert, no room left!

    The service and food was so bad we left mid meal. Our poor server was being split between bartending and table serving. There is no way she could have kept up with her tables, which she didn’t. The octopus appetizer came out cold. The potatoes under it were old and dry. Completely inedible. My husband’s steak and lobster was pathetic. It looked disgusting. He didn’t even try it. We called the manager over and he had a terrible attitude. He didn’t care at all so we left. Certainly not what we were expecting from a high end restaurant.

    The appetizers were soso. Had the grilled octopus which was phenomenal and the oysters of which 3 were of a good size and three were the size of small clams. Should be ashamed of themselves for even serving it tbh... especially at $18. I kid you not you could fit all three in a teaspoon. Also had the salmon fillet and the tuna as entrees. Salmon was very plain and unremarkable. Tuna was good but completely lacking of salt while the grilled polenta that it came with was oversalted. Guess people weren't checking the quality. All in all prob won't be returning as it was an underwhelming meal for over $200. My server and the service were great tho!

    We came here hoping for nice dinner on a beautiful Friday night. Food was horrible, service was terrible. Order was Incomplete. They forgot the Salmon. The Big Eye Tuna was terribly cooked. Tasted like it was boiled. The Salmon was blah. Lobster Mac Cheese was ok. Waitress disappeared, never got our refills or any other service after that. Didn't finish the food, left disgusted. Maybe a bad night, won't be returning.

    We had a great meal that was set last minute and a bit later in the evening, but they attended to us quickly and attentively. Alec was great making sure we were taken care of and set us up outdoors when we were the only group wanting to be sat outside. Good and drinks were spectacular. Would go again when in San Diego

    Use to be Osetra but in the Blue Point location. Sat at the bar waiting for our guests. Took a long time to get a drink. Sat at our table, ordered appetizers. Plates were never cleared before the main courses. Some ordered steaks and were never given steak knives. Order the meat “medium” both entrees were rare! Sent them back, still came back rare. Had to ask for bread three times. Given a free dessert, but never to return. Food was ONLY FAIR. Pasta wasn’t cooked enough and we were not asked for an additional drink or wine list. Good luck surviving!
