    We had a great meal. The food was delicious and the service was good too—attentive but not bothersome. We sat out on the porch and the ambiance was nice. The food was perfect. Filet was cooked to temp and had great flavor. Per usual, the wine was great. We started with a Chenin Blanc that was tasty and reasonable. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Nior to go with the meal and it was delicious. Can’t say enough good things about Saluda’s.

    One of the few places we have found in Columbia that serve halibut. And the halibut they serve is melt in your mouth delicious. This is also one of the few places that serves Chenin Blanc by the glass.

    My sisters and I took our Auntie to Saluda's to celebrate her 80th birthday. Everything was absolutely perfect. Eli was our waitress and she was phenomenal. Everyone we came in contact with was very nice and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit to Saluda's.

    We had a wonderful dinner celebrating our anniversary on Friday night. We had an early reservation, so there were minimal guests at that time, so it was very quiet. Alex was our server, and he was very attentive. He gave great recommendations when we had a hard time choosing between the many delicious choices. All of our food was wonderful! My husband loved his steak and mashed potatoes. I enjoyed his asparagus, the fried green tomatoes, and the bacon gouda mac n cheese. We will definitely be back!
