   We paid our first visit to Sallie's but not our last. Who would have imagined to find such a culinary gem in a modest strip mall location? Kieran (host/owner) greeted us warmly and seated us promptly. We shared a lovely bottle of Sancerre and sipped it while enjoying escargot in a garlic sauce that was perfectly balanced. The onion soup was satisfyingly earthy yet incredibly light. The escargot were served alongside one of the best baguettes I have had the pleasure of eating- anywhere in the world. The special - a chicken-based waterzooi was delicious and the tartare was beautifully plated and satisfying. We did not have room for dessert, but the chef kindly agreed to make the apple custard pie available for take-out. The prices are very reasonable, including the wine list and I would recommend the restaurant to anyone who appreciates fine dining as orchestrated by an amazing chef.

   The atmosphere and the service were great. The food was delicious and so was the alcoholic beverages. Will definitely be back.

   I’ve been coming to Sallie’s since it first opened, and we’ve always thoroughly enjoyed our experiences. They’re such nice people, and the food is stellar. Her soups and stews are among the best in the area, the croquettes and mushroom toast are a must order, and the specials are always interesting. Make a point of coming in the late fall for their game menu which usually drops around November. This is truly one of the bay area’s hidden gems!

   This place never disappoints. Interesting food options. Always good. Portions are kind of "European" so you don't overeat and don't need to hesitate to get an appetizer or salad. The prices are appropriate for the quality for the food and the portion. Valentines brought a duck pasta dish and beef short ribs. Both were excellent. There was a fixed price menu for the holiday which was just enough food and priced appropriately - not overpriced for the holiday like lots of other restaurants. But I like that you could also order off the regular menu if you didn't want the fixed price option. Will definitely be back!

   Wonderful dinner at this hidden gem! I'm gluten and dairy intolerant as well as pescatarian. We enjoyed appetizers, entrees, and a wonderful dessert all made to our dietary restrictions. It was awesome!

   I was looking forward to Sallies. The food quality did not disappoint and we enjoyed the chefs creativity. Service, however, was less than desirable. There are too many culinary options to misstep this much. We won’t be back. UPDATE NOTE: Kieren was kind enough to reach out to me directly following my recent review. Thank you so much for your concern and your desire to keep old and new customers happy. I look forward to trying the mussels soon!

   We are so happy to have found this hidden gem in Dunedin. Excellent Belgian food, nice wine menu and lots of Belgian beers to choose from. The staff is warm and welcoming and we can’t wait to return. We tried the carbonnade flamande, the beef Bourgogne and the chef skewers and everyone loved their meals. The amuse bouche was an amazing soup and a delightful curry salmon served on the best little chip. If they had offered it I would have taken a dinner size portion for my entree. The baguette is now our favorite restaurant bread. You get to choose two compound butters with the baguette. We chose the black truffle and the garlic parsley and both were excellent. We finished off with a delicious Belgian chocolate mousse and a pumpkin bread pudding with caramel sauce. I highly recommend Sallie’s. We will most definitely be back.
