   For our 1000 days of marriage, Saltine made our night truly special. A bottle of champagne awaited us, and the staff congratulated us throughout the evening, making us feel so celebrated. The food was exceptional. The PEI mussels were tender and flavorful (my husband said the best he ever had and I agree), and the oysters Rockefeller were rich and perfectly baked. Our entrées—filet and scallops—were cooked to perfection, with incredible flavor in every bite. Beyond the amazing food, the service was impeccable. Saltine made our milestone unforgettable, and we can’t wait to return!

   Went to lunch there about a month ago which was fantastic. I had the lobster roll and truffle fries which were absolutely amazing. The service was top notch, we had about 9 in our party. My wife and I went to dinner 03/01 and unfortunately did not have the same experience. The waitress only came to the table 2 times, the first time to get drink orders, the second time to drop off drinks and get our order. We were never asked for another drink or had our waters refilled, my wife had to flag down the waitress next to our table to not only refill our waters but bring us the check. The food was very underwhelming this go around. The food came out lukewarm, I ordered the crab cakes and truffle fries. The fries tasted like they had been plated and were sitting for awhile. My wife ordered the the stuffed flounder with crab which she really enjoyed. Her side not to much, she ordered the butternut cheddar grits. They were super salty, watery and lukewarm. I will probably only go back during lunch time if I do decide to eat there again.

   Thank you for your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that your recent dinner experience didn’t meet your expectations. We truly appreciate you sharing both the positives and the areas where we fell short. It’s great to know that your wife enjoyed the stuffed flounder, but we’re disappointed to hear about the service and food temperature issues. We will be addressing this with our team to ensure these concerns are handled better in the future. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance, and we’d love to provide you with the exceptional experience you had before.

   Went here for a date night with my husband. Very cozy, speakeasy, and upscale looking restaurant. Service was great and food was amazing. Drinks were also delicious.

   Was referred to Saltine based on friends who had a really nice experience just the night before. I ordered appetizers and fish for an entree. Appetizers were good but fish was only cooked through on the very ends of the fish. I couldn't even flake the remainder of my fish in order to eat it because it was still nearly raw and rubbery in texture. Really disappointed.

   We have dined at Saltine numerous times in the past. This visit definitely disappointed. The food was bland and the service was lacking. Nothing about the evening was impressive.

   For my first time there me and my date had an amazing time. Reservation was on time our waitress was outstanding. Food was 10/10 crab cakes great the peach tree oysters was so delicious. Only thing I suggest is add some cheese cake to the desert menu.

    Food was excellent. Wait staff was a little to quick to clear dishes from the table, as one diner was still eating.
