A Salute charms its visitors with a "beautiful old church" ambiance, offering "exceptional" service and "delicious" food. The family-style dining is "absolutely worth it," with generous portions and inclusive drinks. While some mention noise and occasional slow service, the venue's "striking architecture" and warm atmosphere make it a "must-try."

I came in with my fiancé for dinner, everything was fantastic. Everything from the food to the service was excellent. I would definitely suggest the bolognese and shrimp Oreganata. We will definitely be back.

First time here and it won’t be my last. Food was delicious, from the Chilean sea bass to the eggplant rollatini. We didn’t try the family menu, but plan to in the future.

Reservation was for 6:45, and was not seated until 7:15. Then we were seated in a makeshift covered patio with an ambiance of propane tanks and leaking water from the ceiling dropping on us as we dined. With that being said, the service was good and food was good, portions were a little small for the price. Overall, as long as your sat in the dining room you will have a pleasurable evening, the patio dining experience was pretty bad.

My wife and I loved the family style dinner. It was absolutely delicious and a great value for the price. Hence it includes all the beer and wine you can drink.
