Salute is wonderful. Whilst Essex Rd is not particularly picturesque, the restaurant has a cosy vibe with dimmed light and warm interior. Although I do like the open kitchen concept, being vegetarian I found the occasional smell of fish unpleasant. The space is small but beautifully intimate although the tables feel a bit crammed together at first. Having said that, you can comfortably have a good conversation without interference from the neighbouring tables. Most importantly, the food is divine and service impeccable. Vegetarian dishes were top notch - seasonal, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. Good wine and reasonably priced. Our waiter was attentive and made sure not to interrupt the conversation. Great find, highly recommended for a long casual date or a catch up with friends and family.

This was our first visit to Salut! and we had the best evening. The restaurant is small in size, but perfectly laid out. Because of its size the Kitchen is on show, which in our eyes was a bonus. It is quite something to be able to see the food being prepared as you really feel like you are part of something special. This is an intimate and extremely friendly place and the food outstanding - we will definitely be back!

We have been wanting to come here for a while, as have heard good things about it. We came for Sunday lunch and first thing to say the food is exceptional, all three courses were delicious and well portioned. It's a nice quaint restaurant with a good atmosphere. Unfortunately our experience was really let down by the service which was painfully slow, especially considering how small it is. Whilst they were very busy and the staff were very polite, it took nearly 40 minutes just to get water, and was easily more than an hour before our starters came. Not once did a waiter come to us to even take our order and we had to ask or even go up to the counter every time or remind them to clear the table after 20minutes. So unfortunately considering the cost that alone would put us off coming back despite the quality of the actual food.
