Don't go

This place bites. Just tried going there this evening (it's a Saturday night) and arrived just before midnight. Apparently they had just called "last call." When we asked the bartender what time "last call" is, the response was "whenever they decide." REALLY? What kind of business are they running? Is that really the best way to run a business? Do they want to continue to be in business? It's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. They had live music (pretty good act from the few minutes we were in there, and he even seemed surprised that they had already called "last call.") and there was still a decent crowd in the bar. What a poor business decision. This poor judgement, in addition to management's complaint about lack of parking (which forced the employees of the #1 employer of the SCV to lose several floors of parking in the parking structure) - again, poor judgement as management failed to recognize that the majority of their lunchtime business had been these same employees -- has left a really bad taste. They do not deserve my business, nor yours. Don't waste your time. Santa Clarita does not have very many options, but there are better options that Salt Creek Grille.

best place to go out in scv

by aimeeven at Citysearch

Salt creek is one of my favorite places to eat, whether out to a nice dinner or just for drinks with friends. They have a fabulous martini menu (try the french kiss) great dinner choices, (love the stuffed halibut) and awesome dessert (don't leave without trying the chocolate souffle!) Good restaurants are hard to come by in SCV and Salt Creek is consistently fun and yummy with a mixed crowd of people. I have never had a problem with service and in fact recall staff that has been friendly and very accomodating of my preferences and of my mom whom I dine with frequently who has food allergies.

• Pros: Drinks, Food, Outdoor Bar
• Cons: Parking

The place has horrible service and even more horrible employees. The atmosphere is the only thing good.

We walked in on a weekday afternoon at around 2 when there is no crowds and it still took the staff a good 5 minutes to even recognize us waiting at the front desk. Service is absolutely horrendous. I recommend anybody to stay away from this place. Food is mediocre as well. The only thing that it I can say positively about the establishment is the mood and ambiance are nice.

• Pros: Nice atmosphere
• Cons: Bad, bad, bad service. Mediocre food. Lousy employees.
