sensibly priced seafood

by THUNDLEY

i work in the area and come here quite frequently for lunch. It is an attractive restaurant, good for a business lunch or dinner. Ht the bar when you are by yourself..as I often do...excellent & interesting sandwiches & burgers.

This place is much better than the Oyster Bar at Grand Central and MUCH cheaper!!

• Pros: creative, varied & surprisingly reasonably priced food
• Cons: bar can be noisy

The unique place for salmon

by torquan

Salmon is a very special fish which deserves respect in preparation and cooking. An hastily and careless prepared salmon looses all his great nutrients. This respect is guaranteed at Salmon River. I had the planched salmon. Great food, correct prices and nice staff. Go there if you can.

• Pros: Lounge with that delicate bit of flair
• Cons: No rawbacks, perfecrt experience

UNDER THE RADAR SCREEN

by suzyg

...mostly seafood, of course. extensive salmon selections but also many other fish and meat choices. the chef is CLEVER, CLEVER, CLEVER!!

Asian, American, Cajun, Southwestern...lots of assertively seasoned, tasty food. Order a bunch of appetizers and share. Place is understated but quite attractive...prices pretty reasonable for a fish house.

• Pros: CLEVER MENU WITH LOTS OF CHOICES
• Cons: CAN'T ALWAYS GET IN

go get it

by namalex

The butterfish....salmon... and scallops. Each a piece of velvety dream that soothes your entire being. The tiny size of the place only adds to its allure. It feels exclusive

Note: save it for friends, or someone special. Don't let bad dates taint your experience. It's too delicious for that. ;)

if you like Salmon like I do this is the place

by jasonbourne1

after a friend suggested it to me, i decide to give Salmon River a try. I went on a thursday night and the place was pact from the bar down to the main dining room, you think they where giving stuff away. the where two of us and we had a nice corner table, the restaurant was a bit noisy but not to bad, I started with a delicious steamed fish dumplings, and for my main course I choose the cedar planked salmon, which was out of this world and for $21.50 is hard to beat. Wine selection by the glass was nice and the best part is the wine is served in mini pitchers so for $8 you get more than a glass. After the meal i realize why the place was so busy, good and inexpensive food, friendly and professional service, I am going back to Salmon River.

• Pros: value, service and ambience
• Cons: none

My Surprise Engagement

by lala1970

It was the best dining experience I have had in a long time. The price was great and the food was excellent. I was at the restaurant on 2/2/08. The staff was lovely. My wine glass never was empty. I ordered the Cedar Planked Salmon, I thought I was going to jump out of my seat when I tasted it. It melted in my mouth. So as the night goes on, I was too stuffed to order a dessert of my own, so I nibbled on my now "fiancee's" dessert. While doing this the waiter comes over with a tray and says, "I have a special dessert for you". Of course I am trying to convince him to take it back to the kitchen. But he graciously uncovers the platter and staring at me was this beautiful ring. I broke out into hysterics. They did it so well. My fiancee tells me it was the eye contact because neither one of us left the table the entire meal. I was so happy that I am planning on returning real soon. No changes need to be made they are top.

best salmon in nyc!

by foodforlove

I was curious about this place because of a friend's recommendation. This very attractive restaurant has a bunch of very creative & tasty salmon preparations...and not very expensive. (maybe $21 or in that range.) Try the Hibachi Salmon or the Cedar Plank Salmon. Both are unbelievable. As for appetizers...The fried calamari & the salmon rolls rocked.

• Pros: excellent food & value
• Cons: busy
