    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.
