"I cannot believe I am even getting a review request for Salute. What a joke. The restaurant was shut down for some reason unknown to me. There was no email or phone call notification so when we arrived we needed to scramble to find another restaurant."

"We have dined here 4 times since our first experience in February.
The staff is fabulous, the wine & food are wonderful.
I feel like I'm in Europe. No one rushes us, and we feel that the table belongs to us."

"I love this restaurant.
We had a party of 11 during this visit and the staff worked with me to stay within my budget, providing great family style appetizers and a selection of wines along with ordering entrees across the menu. The service was good - when we arrived, the appetizers were set on the table. Considering our late start, that was welcome. No one's glass was empty. This is the second larger party I've brought to Salute and I would do it again.
Most importantly, everyone commented on the great time they had and the food."

"Have had dinner at Salute many times. Their pasta is fresh and highly recommend. Was there for lunch with a client and was extremely disappointed. I had the scallops which were so overcooked they were practically inedible. My client ordered the fish special and also said the fish was dry and overcooked. My first bad experience there. Think I will stick to the pasta."

"Stick with the pasta dishes, and I recommend the minestrone soup. My only critique is the wine pour is a half glass. When you're paying $15+ for a glass of wine make it a full pour."
