The food is way overpriced for the quality. One of the dishes came out cold. The ambience is cute, but it’s way too frigid. They should provide space heaters in the winter time even inside.

Food was excellent as was the service our waitress couldn’t have been more nice or accommodating. Went for lunch on a Saturday, wasn’t too busy as this was right after Thanksgiving. Definitely looking forward to dinner here someday soon.

This was our first visit to A Salute and it did not disappoint! The food, service, and ambiance was well received. Our party of 8 (four couples) enjoyed dining here and all agree we will be back. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience.

The food was just okay, our waiter was attentive and they need a sound barrier between the lounge area and dining area. I was listening to club music and Frank Sinatra and the same time.
