Salt Creek Grille 4 Bingham Avenue, Rumson, NJ 07760

"This place has definitely changed for the better. Pre-COVID, the restaurant offered great Sunday brunches but the dining menu catered more to the 60+ crowd, basic meat dishes with sides of standard vegies or potatoes. Now, the bar is hopping with a youthful vibe and the menu has been updated for modern tastes, including sushi. The side tables we sat across from the bar was perfect for conversation. Plenty of booths available if one chooses to dine in privacy on a Friday night. They have an outside fire pit which is perfect during a cold night, if one can sip on a brandy after dinner. (haven’t asked) The app of Burrata Flatbread was amazing. So much better than the Whiskey Lounge. I had the rib rack with waffle fries and a side of Adult Mac and Cheese. Salt Creek wasn’t kidding when they said it was meant for adults because it was the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. The level of depth of diff varying cheese was so rich and amazing that no words can describe it. You have to sample this dish to realize you’ve reach Macaroni and Cheese nirvana. The waffle fries were amazing as well. No homemade ketchup needed because the Asiago cheese and garlic was perfect and did not need any condiment to destroy its harmony. The rib rack was a full set and perfectly priced at around mid 30s. The meat was tender and was pulled with ease using a fork. My wife had the filet mignon served rare and she was content. Definitely worth a trip if you are in the neighborhood. I can’t wait to try their burger, (Ground Short Rib, Chuck & Brisket, Arugula, Aged White Cheddar, House Spread, Caramelized Onion & Bacon Jam, Brioche Bun) If executed perfectly to a medium rare: this burger sounds amazing."

"Excellent meal... Great service ... Bartender needs to check what he is throwing in glass as seen in pic.. No reason for this, it's a lemon slice"

"We came for our anniversary and had awesome service here. Our server was so friendly and warm. Our food came out at a great pace and everything was hot. The food and drinks were delicious! We had calamari, lamb rack, and steak frites and butter cake for dessert. We will definitely be back soon!"

"The food here is excellent! My favorite is the coffee encrusted New York strip steak. Delicious! The ribs are really good as well. Their wine and liquor list is very good. The beer list is pretty much the basics. Overall a great restaurant with a nice view of the Navesink River."
