New Sushi Menu at Salt Creek Grille

Rumson

Already known for seafood, burgers and steaks, Salt Creek Grille is adding a sushi menu to its roster. The popularity of the sashimi-style Tuna Stack was the catalyst. The new menu features appetizers like Seaweed Salad and, of course, plenty of sushi. Rolls include the Blue Crab Roll, with blue crab, cucumber and wasabi mayo; the signature Salt Creek Roll, consisting of tuna, salmon, cucumber and daikon sprouts in soy paper, topped with both spicy and wasabi mayo; and many more.
