I've been to Salute a couple of times before and would probably be writing a 2 or 3-star review if I didn't have the experience I just had the other night. We had 6:30 reservations and didn't get to sit down at our table until 7:00. We got water about ten minutes after that then we finally got to meet our waitress about ten more minutes after that. I ordered a drink from the bar ($10.00!!!) and it was mostly ice - three big sips and I was done with the drink...I swear it was watered down. Speaking of water...my glass was empty for over thirty minutes before the busboy returned to fill it again. I had ordered a glass of wine with my dinner, but it didn't arrive with the dinner. I asked the server for the wine again and she didn't return until it was time to ask us how our dinner was. We reminded our server about the wine, but we were practically finished with our meals by then and just cancelled the drink order. When we got the bill, they had charged us twice for each of our drinks. I raised it to the attention of our server and she opened up the bill in plain sight of my date to go over each line and make sure everything was in order. Never show the bill to the people at the table who aren't paying! Anyway....I was very frustrated with the service. The food was okay - we had prawns for appetizers and they were very chewy and fishy tasting, but everything else tasted fine (not bad, not great). In the end, it was $100 for the two of us with nothing but bad service, bad drinks, and okay food. I'll never go to Salute again.
Pros: Romantic ambience (when the service is good)
Cons: Terrible service, overpriced food and drinks
