Saltwater Bar and Kitchen by Big Mike

I really enjoyed stopping in here after 9pm on 10/10/25. My husband and I can here for late bites and cocktails. I found this restaurant based in a google search and their high reviews so I figured I should go and try it and I am glad we did! Our server Connie was extremely impressive, she was very attentive and she had a very nice personality. We decided to try the printed seasonal menu and 2 hand-crafted cocktails. We both loved our bar drinks, and the food was delicious and packed with flavor. We assume the food is Asian inspired by the flavors we enjoyed. We were happy to be guests here with this level of detail and cooking. Big Mike has quite a lovely selection and he impressed us both! Keep up the excellent work and cooking!

I take issue with most restaurants these days. Not everything is what it used to be. However, Saltwater Social by Big Mike in Highlands is an exception. The food, the atmosphere and the hospitality are second to none. The variety and quality of food is amazing, there’s something for everyone. Everything is top notch in a casual, welcoming setting. Although it’s well over an hour from where we live, it’s well worth the trip. We had the Caesar Salad, we had Meatballs, Shrimp Fried Rice, Tuna Tartar/Crispy Rice Sushi and more. Everything was great, fresh and well served. Friendly staff! Highly recommend.

We went here for my wife's birthday with a small group. The place is small, but the layout and decor was cool. The service was excellent and the food was even better. The menu doesn't have a ton of options, but everything we ordered was outstanding.

Great place with friendly service and delicious food. Started with an apple salad which was fresh and more than enough for two people. The eggplant parm was not made in the traditional manner but was more crispy and full of flavor. The roasted chicken was juicy and mashed potatoes were perfectly made. Our server was excellent and one of the Mikes made an awesome pistachio martini. Other cocktails were right on point. See you again soon.

We came in to taste the food and look at the upstairs space for a bridal shower. We were blown away by the quality and deliciousness of everything we had. The staff was amazing as well. Offered a lot of information on the different dishes on the menu. We started with Chicken Tostadas, the meatballs, pork belly buns, and a pizza. The Chicken Tostada was the best I have had. The pizza is a perfect thin crust and full of flavor. The meatballs will give any Italian grandma a run for her money. My entree was the shrimp over risotto and was delicious as well. I can't wait to go back! Defiantly a place to check out!!!
