Salute is wonderful. Whilst Essex Rd is not particularly picturesque, the restaurant has a cosy vibe with dimmed light and warm interior. Although I do like the open kitchen concept, being vegetarian I found the occasional smell of fish unpleasant. The space is small but beautifully intimate although the tables feel a bit crammed together at first. Having said that, you can comfortably have a good conversation without interference from the neighbouring tables. Most importantly, the food is divine and service impeccable. Vegetarian dishes were top notch - seasonal, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. Good wine and reasonably priced. Our waiter was attentive and made sure not to interrupt the conversation. Great find, highly recommended for a long casual date or a catch up with friends and family.
