    Exceptional dining experience! From top to bottom, everything was impeccable: ambience, presentation, quality of ingredients, unique yet appetizing flavors, balance of dishes, and welcoming service from the staff. I enjoyed the Dynamic pairing option for both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages well-suited to each course.  I’m usually left wanting after fine dining experiences, but Vespertine lived up to expectations.

    SALT offers a beautiful venue. Due to outstanding weather we were able to dine outside. Service at times was a bit slow but the staff were pleasant, friendly and helpful. While we waited for our party to arrive we enjoyed drinks on the bar patio. The bartenders are awesome and mix excellent drinks. The food was outstanding. Most of our party ordered the chicken and French toast. So yummy! I enjoyed the salmon Benedict which was delicious and the eggs were perfectly done. I chose salad for my side and it was fresh and tasty.
