This was our first time in Columbia SC, not knowing the area we took a chance on Saluda’s. So glad we did. They had Valet parking , which was great because we couldn’t find an open space to park. Upon entering the restaurant it was a great atmosphere from beginning to end. Our waitress, Elena, was wonderful. So very polite and cheerful. A young South Carolina college student . She was very helpful with suggestions on the menu. The food was delicious. My friend had raw oysters and I had Fried Green Tomatoes for an appetizer ( my first time for this). Both were delicious. My friend had scallops for her entree and I had the Filet Mignon . Both were excellent. For dessert we shared a Caramel Apple Square with Vanilla ice cream, again delicious. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. You will not be disappointed. Better than 5 stars all the way around!
