Currents Steaks & Seafood

WOW. I wanted comfort food and my friend brought me here. He hit the nail on the head- they literally have a comfort food section on the menu! Like green chili?! Well I love NM green chili better usually BUT this green chili is OUT OF THE PARK!!!! The server was super kind, attentive and respectful! Not to mention accommodating to some food changes. The French onion soup is the best I have had in a very long time! Maybe even better than that French bakery La Baguette in the springs! As soon as you walk in you just want to spin around and take everything in! There's so much cool stuff to look at! Great ambiance! The sun hits just right in the windows at lunch time, and they have an epic street patio for those warmer days too! Presentation is everything and this place does an outstanding job at staging both the food and the establishment. New favorite restaurant in town! I will be back quite often while I work my way through the entire menu!

This place was highly rated, but that was not our experience with food or service. We had a wedge salad, the special Mahi Mahi, and an 8oz filet. The wedge was served with balsamic, looked puny, and was ok, but the value just wasn't there. The Mahi Mahi was so spicy we could barely eat it after everything was scraped off. Green beans on both dishes were bland and poorly seasoned. White gravy, which we've had all over the country at everywhere from 5 star restaurants to diners was terrible. The only taste was flour and milk. Seriously gross. Unsure how that can be done to such a simple comfort food. The steak was cooked to perfection, but the "steak sauce" tasted like BBQ sauce. They don't carry A1? Everyone from chilies to Ruth Chris to Elways carries A1. A steak house that doesn't carry A1-suspect. A seafood restaurant that has a single option for a fish filet????Servers had 3-4 tables each, but struggled to do anything timely. They appeared stressed, inexperienced, and unfriendly. There is better value elsewhere. It's not bad, but we've honestly had more rewarding service and cusine from a diner.

Food was excellent. We also had spinach artichoke dip, served with flatbread which was very good. Service was prompt and friendly, Thursday night and the place was packed!Full bar menu with many specialty drinks. Family friendly in an upbeat hipster atmosphere. We will return when in the area.

Stellar Salida restaurant with great food, drinks and servers. The wedge salad was out of this world with warm huge amounts of real bacon. The poutine was sensational with great tasting fries and lots of yummy toppings. The full order of the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy was spot on. Had a great double IPA and spicy bloody Mary. Everything was just amazing. Loved sitting outside and enjoying the summer night air. A Salida fave for sure.

Good food and friendly staff. Was in salida visiting the kid and grands. Darrelle wanted to try it so in we went. I got the sirloin and Andrea got the stroganoff. Both were delicious. I score a 7.8754. Nice place to enjoy a steak if you're in town.

When the cup of green chili my boyfriend ordered turned out to be a tiny ramekin of green chili, that kinda set the tone.Service, I must say, was good. Attentive but not intrusive. Patient and friendly. We started with the soup, took our time with a couple of drinks, and then decided to order dinner.My chicken pot pie was decent. If I got that from the freezer section, I'd be very happy. It was quite salty and the biscuit on top had gotten a little burnt around the edges, but I had no problem finishing the whole thing. My boyfriend's fried chicken with mashed potatoes and white gravy tasted very beige, but I've found that, in general, chicken fried chicken is stick-to-your-ribs and dynamic with peppery, creamy gravy and crispity crunchity chicken about 30% of the time and wall paper paste with meat the rest of the time. I don't know if I can blame Currents for being on the wrong side of that.In a pinch, I'd pop back in, but I'd rather try something else in town.

Service was great. Food portions and prices are really good. The friend chicken is my favorite. They have chicken tenders on the kids menu for those picky adults as well.

Steak was great. Nice area- we sat outside on the little deck - it was very nice! Service was great too

One of my favorite spots in this sweet little town. Came in again tonight and had top notch service from Molly. Enjoyed red snapper, fish tacos and some great cocktails on the outdoor patio. Highly suggest.

This is a gem in Salida. I love the old bar and feel of this place. The food is very good and happy hour is great. We eat here every time we are up in Salida for skiing.
