    Absolutely wonderful experience! The restaurant is very nice inside with a very welcoming vibe. We were visiting Columbia for the first time and totally lucked out. We had a 2 server team as one was being trained and the service was amazing. I wrote down their names but lost my receipt. Food was fabulous. I had the Wreckfish special and my wife had the Lamb Osso Buco and they couldn’t have been any better. If you’re in town this should be a must

    I recently dined at this restaurant with a companion. They ordered the lamb, while I opted for the lobster bisque and a salad. The lamb was exceptionally tender, falling off the bone, but the accompanying flavors in the dish, as well as the bisque and salad, were somewhat lacking. The drinks were also disappointing, and contained very little alcohol. Given that it was the holiday season, the restaurant was quite noisy, likely due to private events being hosted at the same time. It was difficult to chat across the table. While the lively atmosphere could have been excused, the lack of flavor in the dishes was unfortunate.

    The food was excellent. Atmosphere was great. The bartender made me a really good dirty martini. Our server Karson was very attentive and took great care of us. Definitely will be back.

    We had an excellent waitress and the food was amazing. I have been her several times but was never so impressed. We were a group of 5 and never felt rushed.

    The food was delicious. I had the lamb osso buco and my husband had the filet. The service is impeccable - they go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. We had a wonderful time.

    Better than ever! Today’s Saluda’s is emphasizing locally sourced, high quality ingredients with an amazing bar, great service and made-in-house desserts. It was perfect for our annual, romantic Christmas dinner as a couple. I wish the noise level was a little lower, but to be fair we were seated in the middle of the room. Our server was excellent and obviously well trained. We spent $109 for top choices from their menu and felt like we got our money’s worth.
