The Salt Water Grille concept was born on Independence Day in 1961, the brainchild of famed Hawaiian surfer Clay Herrema who was a U.S. Marine. The first location was modest, with just a few tables in a converted diner. However, two principles present in 1961 remain staples of every Salt Water Grille location – great food and equally impressive views. Today, Salt Water Grille restaurants overlook the coasts of both the Atlantic and the Pacific, and other scenic locations in between. And while we stretch from sea to shining sea, every location remains committed and specialized to its local community.
