| - The Women Who Wine visited Salut Kitchen Bar yesterday. We had a lovely experience from start to finish.
Sunday's special is half-priced bottles, so the 6 of us shared a couple of bottles of one of my favorite Lodi, CA, Zinfandels, Klinker Brick, which is not all that common in wine bars.
Our server, Chris, an adorable cutie from Cypress, was attentive and helpful, even arranging for an extra portion of their signature appetizer, the hummus nachos. The nachos come in 5 portions, and there were six of us, so Chris went back to the kitchen and got us the extra at no charge. The appetizer was delicious too, with tasty hummus on toasty pita bread with pomegranate seeds, and some yummy balsamic reduction drizzle.
The prices were very reasonable, and for 6 of us sharing 3 bottles of wine, a very nice cheese platter and two of the Hummus Nachos, with a 20% tip cost us a mere $23 each.
The place is not far from ASU, and is obviously aimed at a younger crowd, but the manager was accommodating enough to turn down the music upon request. My only complaint would be the un-cushioned metal chairs, which were not all that comfortable for older lady bottoms and backs.
I will definitely go back.
