    No restaurant is perfect. However, I have only ever had 5 star service and food at Saluda's. Tonight, our server Nancy did an amazing job. This is a must experience in Columbia, in my opinion. The value for your money is frankly hard to believe. Don't hesitate.

    Took my team here for dinner and we had a great time. The food was excellent the only thing that wasn’t top tier was the service. To her defense she had entire area by herself and was working very hard to accommodate everyone. Maybe should get the waitress more help on a busy Friday night she she isn’t so overwhelmed.

    Greeted warmly at the front and they pulled up my reservation immediately. We were seated right away and our waitress greeted us at the table. Everyone seemed to enjoy their jobs and it showed in their actions / service. The food was outstanding. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend you check it out yourself.
