    I read lots of reviews before deciding on Saluda’s while visiting Columbia from out of town, and chose it because of all the glowing recommendations. All those effusive reviews did not exaggerate! The ambiance is lovely - upscale but not stuffy. The waitstaff are all friendly and helpful. (Our waiter, Andy, was the best!!!!) The food is absolutely delicious. My pork chop was the most tender, juicy one I’ve ever had. My husband was equally pleased with his rib eye. The accompaniments were top notch. We got our pistachio cake to-go, as we had a theater reservation, but there’s no doubt in my mind it will also be delicious! Our bill, including a glass of wine, two entrees, and a dessert was $113 before a 35% tip. Make Saluda’s your go-to restaurant for any and every special occasion, and ask for Andy as your server! He’s amazing!!!

    Our waiter, Andy, was awesome. He was attentive but not overbearing. Food and ambience were so welcomed for celebrating a birthday in our group. Wonderful restaurant tucked into the 5 Points area of Columbia. Highly recommend.

    An overall outstanding experience! The food was exceptional! Lorraine, our server, was efficient but unobtrusive. The only low point was the moderate noise level. I would imagine that on a busy night the noise would be much worse.
