great place to entertain anyone u wanna impress
great location
amazing food
super service
value for money
this is how i would describe Salt Water Grill
The stakes are good, the starters are interesting and they have a good variety of drinks.. i like an interesting mint flavored coconut water..try it
this is one place u can safely take your girlfriend, wife, business guests , international visitors and anyonme u wanna impress and it will work 100%
always make reservations in advance.....and one think which i was a disappointed with is that they dont give u sea facing tables if u are with kids...
the items on the menu are expensiveeeeeee......however the location, the food and the complete package makes its Value for Money....

Location, location, location
I honestly couldn't believe I hadn't reviewed this place. Having been several times in varying guises; dinner for two with a special someone, half a dozen friends for an informal meal and a big work night out.
Without the location the Salt Water Grill wouldn't last a week. The food is good, but not good enough for the competition that it has in Mumbai, but throw in lapping waves, a salty tang in the air, sand underfoot and sprinkling of palm trees and you have a little oasis amongst the mayhem.
I have never had a truely great starter at SWG but the carpaccio is not bad and the pate with melba toast is crisp and tasty. In the main courses the risotto is king here. The tomato and marscapone rich and thick, the roast garlic with squid had a real depth of flavour, even the beef and mushroom - which should be all wrong, manages to impress. The steaks I hear are not bad too!
If you have room for desert the flourless torte is one of the best I have ever had.
Regarding the loss of the liquor licence - I think we should all have a minutes silent prayer to get this back. It was the one of the few places you could get a decent martini in Mumbai. However needs a backhander to get this done, please make yourself known.

Inconsistent
Was here 2 weeks ago and had a wonderful meal. My sis-in-law was in town from London and wanted to come here - she had a wonderful time in Dec 04 when it had first opened. So we showed up with 4 month old Rohan. They gave us the table by the bar with a long sofa so that Rohan would be comfortable. Nice gesture although Rohan was happy in his pram.
They still have not sorted out their alcohol license so were serving soft drinks, juices and mocktails. (If management is reading this *PLEASE* sort it out).
Food was good but inconsistent. My duck salad was average but not as good as it usually is (this is my fav dish here). The mozarella-aubergine fried starter was a waste of time. Tasteless and rubbery. The mushroom salad was very good. Thankfully the main courses were very good: tomato and mascarpone risotto, ravioli and the rawas.
Skipped desserts here and headed to Dome.

holy c-rap batman!!
oh it was bad. the ambiance as usual is terrific, so long as you face the sea. the place looks rundown with the tent seating shut down (it looks pretty unkempt and is an eye sore)
the food itself was pretty below par, horrible appetizer (camembert crostini) unimaginative soup (tomato consome) main course was penne georgette (in zuccini and garlic) average,
the risotto (tomato and mascerpone) was explosive, fantastic but too little too late. I only bet on sure things, so didnt gamble with the dessert.
the service however was top notch, attentive but not intrusive, made sure everything was available as needed.
and yeah, they weren't serving any alcohol due to some permit issues.
time for a rethink.
damage around 2000 ($50)

Continues to please!!
I remember first going to SWG when it first opened in 2004. Awesome setting, great ambience, well selected menu, surprisingly good cocktails (try the watermelon caiparinha) and attentive service. Only problem in the early days was getting a table. Over the years, I have always visited SWG and it was never disappointed.
Anyway was there last night. Surprised it wasn't busy and I managed to get a table without a reservation. Was told when we got there that they were no serving alcohol (problem with the license!) which explained why it wasn't busy. I wasn't planning a big night and had already opened a bottle of Sula before I came so nothing having alcohol did not dissuade me.
IFood: had the oriental duck salad followed by the Himalayan trout. Both were excellent. SS had the mushroom trio and the ravioli. Again both were very good.
Service: Attentive and courteous.
Minus: The 45 gap between the starters and the main course was not acceptable. We had a nap on the deck chairs!! (Riyaz and crew please take note!!)
