| - We had Salut on our 'to do' list since watching it on Check Please, and we were able to check it off the list last night. We came straight from the airport after picking up my two aunts who are visiting for the week, there were four adults and our two kids (ages 5 and 3). I had made a reservation, but it wasn't super busy so we probably didn't need one, at least not last night (a Friday). We sat out on the beautiful patio and were served by Tyler who was just wonderful, and really hit it off with my 5 year old in particular, as he listened intently to her never ending conversation. He also busted out a few good one liners throughout our time and he was just incredibly friendly and helpful. The general manager also paid us a few visits and chatted up with everyone, paying extra attention to our kids and striking up conversation. It is just a really nice and friendly, laid back atmosphere (but not laid back service!). As for the food, the mules were phenomenal and a nice spin from a traditional Moscow Mule (between us we had 3 different ones) and the food was perfect. We ordered several apps/tapas and bruschetta. My very picky, Macaroni and cheese only, daughter went through two rounds of the mushroom ravioli, and my other daughter favored the pesto bruschetta and macaroni and cheese bites (also one of my favorites). If we had more room we would have ordered more hummus nachos for sure, but we were full between the food, drinks and dessert (self toasted s'mores and dreamsicle cheesecake - yum!). We will be back on a Tuesday for the $20 deal for hummus nachos and a flight - I really want more of those 'nachos'!
