      Opening our doors in 1993, Salmon Dave’s has proudly endured as one of Greater Cleveland’s favorite local haunts. With an informal approach to upscale dining, our cozy neighborhood spot has gained a legendary reputation. After a recent head-to-toe renovation, Rocky River’s favorite restaurant is better than ever. The timeless character of the historic building lives on with distressed brick walls, crown moldings, and its signature mahogany bar. The updated feel is an eclectic balance of traditional and contemporary design elements, creating the perfect backdrop for Salmon Dave’s spirited bar scene and relaxed dinner vibe. Veteran chef Mario Brown and his talented culinary team offer new menu selections alongside fan-favorites, maintaining our promise of providing the freshest “Guaranteed Seafood.”

      At age the of 20, Chef Rafael moved with his wife to Cleveland, Ohio. His goal was to continue his Italian culinary skills which he acquired in the region of Verona, Italy.
      Chef Rafael was introduced to the restaurant industry at a very young age. His grandmother was very well known for her home-cooked dishes. She loved having her grandson with her as she cooked meals as soon as he was able to walk. He was six years old when he first learned how to make homemade pasta and, by age 14, he was ready to embark on his own culinary journey. His first stop was Verona, Italy,which was the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The romantic and rich architectural heritage of Verona was matched by the great culinary venues of that city and Chef Rafael's experience and skills grew exponentially. Three years later, Chef Rafael traveled to Belgium and France where he then experienced cooking French cuisine as well.

      Celebrated my good friend's birthday and it was a perfect way to dine! They had a menu that said Happy Birthday and had a small dessert for her as well. She had the walleye and I had the lobster tail...both meals were delicious. Service was excellent and we both enjoyed a great meal!

      Sarita is a date night staple! The ambience is great and if the weather permits, the patio is a great addition to the overall experience. The “this, that, and other” of how the menu is laid out allows you to enjoy some shared plates or go for a full on dining experience. Specials are also always top notch and well thought out by the chef. Our server Charles was also great and allowed us to enjoy our bottle of wine without feeling like we were being pushed out after our plates were taken away. 12 out 10 experience, no notes!

    Discover Cleveland West

    Cleveland is home to many treats and wonders, but right against Lake Erie, you can find the neighborhood known as “Cleveland West.” Home to many waterfront opportunities, this is an excellent place to explore the Bavarian heritage that is pervasive throughout the city. There are numerous places to eat foods of every variety, but if you want the Cleveland experience, then you need to consider Polish and German eateries. Pierogi (delightful cheese-stuffed dumplings), corned beef and bratwurst sandwiches are specialties of the region. If you're looking for a more American touch, you can enjoy original pizza bagels and a range of beers that blend history and tradition with American innovation.
