    Saluda's and/or Ooen Table cannot be trusted when it comes to reserving a private dining room for a special occassion. I booked a reservation for 2/10/25 weeks in advance for my daughter's 30th birthday and requested the private dining room at the time of the booking. My confirmation from Open Table included the private dining room. When we arrived for dinner, we were NOT seated in the private dining room and when I asked staff about moving us, the manager on duty REFUSED. I pointed out that the confirmation included the private dining room, but he was less than accomodating and failed to provide the customer service that was warranted in this situation. The main dining room is LOUD, NOISY, and makes it VERY DIFFICULT to have a conversation with your guests. While the food was good and our server was precious, we will not be back because of the failure of the manager to fulfill the private dining room request as confirmed in our reservation.

    Took a few coworkers there for dinner and the mood was perfect. Great for conversation, wasn’t stuffy, and just slightly elevated above the competition in Cola.

    Great place, went late evening Sunday and was rushed out so fast it was appalling. Service sucked and they didn’t read my request. Definitely better places with better menus. The food was amazing and the drinks! Can use a better sign!!
