Came here twice with my boyfriend for date night. I think what I love about Salute is its convenient location in the centre of Yorkville. This restaurant offers live music on some nights (although we haven't had the chance to experience it on either of those nights).
The place is cute! It's very elegant and perfect for a girl's night out or a date night. The food is terrible though... Dishes I've tried:
- The oyster appetizer ( a dozen Raw oysters with lemon): tiniest oysters I have ever seen in my entire life, were not plentiful nor juicy
- The Premium cheese platter - This I loved with a glass of wine... However , not worth the price of 19$ as the crackers served are the $2 box ones from the grocery stores.
- Chicken, steak and seafood fondue - Literally dipping those items into bowling oil. The idea may seem interesting, but a regretful eat indeed
- Chicken/ Beef Skewers - were yummy, but nothing out of the ordinary. Tasted like any kind of skewers I could get from the food court
So if you're shopping around Yorkville, tired from a day of shopping, and want a place for drinks and to rest your legs, definitely check out Salute. But for dinner, there are other great places in the area for the same price range that offer far better quality of foods.
