Saluda's Restaurant

Stopped by Saluda’s for the first time and sat at the bar, just after opening on a Tuesday. It was restaurant week, so I ordered from that menu. I started with a glass of the Prisoner Red Blend, which I enjoyed. I ordered the Meatballs and Burrata to start, which was a huge portion, and very delicious. Then the Soup of the Day, which was Lobster Bisque. It was light, velvety, and flavorful. My entree was Lamb Osso Buco. I’d never had this dish, so I was excited to try it, but what really blew me away were the collard greens. Easily the best I’ve ever had! The lamb fell off the bone, and the mashed potatoes were nicely seasoned. I hadn’t planned on dessert after all that, but after seeing Sticky Toffee Pudding on the menu, I had to try it. It was soft and moist, and the caramel sauce was perfect. Had I not already been so full, I would’ve opted for a scoop of ice cream to top it off. I’ve heard Saluda’s mentioned time and time again, and it did not disappoint. Service was also excellent, and very attentive in the right way. Will definitely be back, and can recommend without reservation.

We came here for Valentine’s Day and spent about $150 for two people. Unfortunately, we wouldn’t recommend it. The fried oysters were soggy, the chef’s cheese board were just your average choices Brie, blue cheese, and white cheddar and our entrées were just okay, not bad, but definitely not worth the price. We had a reservation and still waited about 40 minutes for a table. The owner came over and apologized to the couple next to us for the delay but didn’t acknowledge us, which felt a little strange. Maybe they had been waiting longer, but it still stood out. That said, our waitress was good and very attentive, and we appreciated her service. Overall, the experience didn’t match the cost, and we wouldn’t return.

In all the years I’ve been living here I’ve never been to this restaurant and man have I been missing out. This place is absolutely amazing. Beautiful inside with a gorgeous elevated porch. Food was outstanding. I think I could have made a meal on the Mac and cheeses on my wife’s plate. Steak was cooked perfectly with an excellent char. I highly recommend coming here.

We hosted our company Christmas party at Saluda’s in Columbia, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was excellent — attentive, professional, and made our entire group feel well taken care of all night. The food was outstanding. The halibut was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the filet mignon was tender, juicy, and cooked exactly right. Every dish we tried was delicious and beautifully presented. Saluda’s was the perfect setting for a special event, and they truly delivered on both food and service. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

This is the perfect spot for a date night or a girls night. The service was amazing and the New York strip was cooked to perfection. Warning: portion sizes are huge, definitely worth it.

i visited here for a work function, and every part of the experience was beautiful. the staff was attentive, the food was on point, and the drinks were perfect. i can highly recommend the chai tea martini, and the "land and sea". as someone who works in food service, it was nice to switch roles for a bit and i don't think there could've been a better spot to do it. thank yall for being great, parker and eli :) will definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice night out.

We had our company dinner at Saludas and I could rave about this restaurant all day! Their private dining room was perfect for us and everybody had a blast. Parker and Eli took amazing care of us, the staff was wonderful from the greeting all the way to walking out the door. Cocktails were phenomenal and one of the best espresso martinis I’ve had in quite some time. Perfect for a large group or a date night, but I’ll definitely be back soon!

We sat at the bar, as we were too late trying to get in on a Sat night. It's easy to see why this establishment draws a crowd. The good was really good. We had the menu option for $55 00. We chose the same except for the starter. I had the crab cake an my husband had the Greek fried tomatoes. 😋 Both really good. We had a fish kind of Bisque....oh my word it was fantastic. Then the lamb shank. It was a huge shank. I think it would have been a great idea for the chef to figure out a really small desert that would keep them within their cost frame. And I mean small. Just one biter. All in all this place is a win. We had very very good service from the 2 bartenders.

Saluda's Restaurant - Hands-down my favorite restaurant in Columbia. Saluda's never misses. The menu strikes the perfect balance: an excellent selection of small plates (the crab cakes and fried green tomatoes are addictive) and truly outstanding entrées. Whether you're craving a perfectly cooked filet, fresh seafood specials, or one of their thoughtful vegetarian options, everything comes out flavorful and beautifully presented. Portions are generous without being overwhelming. The bar program is top-tier; cocktails are creative, balanced, and made with premium spirits every single time. The wine list is equally impressive and fairly priced. Service is the gold standard: attentive and knowledgeable without hovering, genuinely warm, and quick to offer great recommendations. They make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. On a nice evening, grab a table on the patio overlooking Five Points. People-watching, string lights, and that lively-but-not-chaotic energy make it one of the best outdoor dining experiences in town. Saluda's is always my answer when someone asks where they should eat in Columbia, whether it's date night, celebrating something special, or just a really good meal with friends. Consistently excellent.

Birthday dinner for my boo, located in 5 points, limited parking or I just don't know where to look. The only signage is on the door that leads up the stairs for 2nd level dining. The ambiance is modern elegant with indoor or outdoor seating balcony view below/around 5 points. Our server and service was good although drink refills could have been more swift. We had appetizer Pork Cheeks, entrees braised pork chop & scallops. Dessert pumpkin cheesecake. The appetizer was really enough to fill both of us, it was slow roasted tender pork with a potato base. My wife really enjoyed her pork chop because it had the flavor of jerk chicken, full of meat very little fat with large shell macaroni light cheese. I had 4 scallops with rice and peas in middle, the scallops tasted salty to me would have preferred less salt. The pumpkin cheesecake was the perfect blend of each without overwhelming flavor. A great option for a special occasion or stopping in for lunch/drinks.

I came here to celebrate one of my good friend's birthday. We were a party of two and arrived as soon as the restaurant opened around 5 pm. This restaurant is located in 5 points, which is normally pretty busy; however, we were able to locate a parking space pretty quickly for a Sunday. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor, so you will need to climb up a flight of stairs to access the restaurant. I hate that I forgot to take more photos, but the decor is very charming and nice. We were greeted by the hosts who were very warm and walked us to our table. Our server was fairly new but nice and answered all of our questions. This restaurant does not sell bottled still water, only sparking or tap. I have a very sensitive palate to water and ended up ordering a sprite. I started off the dinner ordering the sweet and spicy friend oysters which were accompanied with a sauce (maybe chipotle mayo) but both were very yummy. For my entree I ordered the shrimp and grits, which is tomato based and my friend ordered the sweet tea pork chops, which comes with a side of butter beans. I have had shrimp and grits with tomato's based sauce before, but honestly I wasn't excepting the amount of tomatoes in the grits. It was very loose and soup like, which I wasn't used to. The shrimp were seasoned to perfection and cooked nicely. I did not try the pork chop, but the presentation was nice! We also ordered the lobster and Gouda Mac and cheese which is 5 stars! The pasta was creamy and rich and there was plenty of lobster! Well worth the price! They also helped us end the night with a glass of free champagne for my friend's birthday!

I had the lamb shank with mashed potatoes, collards: the winter cocktail (forgot the name) and I tried the fried green tomatoes, and I had a bite of the cheesecake. Everything was 100% perfect. I enjoyed my meal from start to finish. I was expecting more of a sweet cocktail but it was terrible either. The lamb was the star of the show. And the collards had the perfect balance of sweet and heat! The service was excellent. I came here with a group of 4 other co-workers and our waiter treated us all with respect and everyone's order was delivered with accuracy. There were no complaints from the table. The ambiance is perfect for celebratory dinners, birthday, date nite, or just because you want something different. Parking can be a mess depending on the day of the week you dine, but the experience overshadowed that. This is a place I would definitely come back to, to enjoy a birthday dinner or when I'm in the mood for something upscale.

Nice & quiet. The menu was varied and the food was delicious . Our server was super sweet and attentive. Will return.

Three of us celebrated my 70th birthday here this evening. I had the absolute BEST pork chop of my life here tonight. Wife enjoyed her scallops and mother in law had shrimp and grits. All of us were extremely pleased with our selections. Grace provided us with amazing service and all three of us agree that we will return another time to celebrate another special day...

Had dinner one night while in town. We had reservations at 7:30, and they are highly recommended. White table cloth dining, an open interior with high ceiling and a long bar on one wall. We were greeted by the hostesses upon arrival and seated within the same moments. This is an elevated dining experience. A concise menu, well executed. After giving the menu a once over we started with the Fried green tomatoes, because thats what you do. An elevated presentation, beautifully prepared and very good. A really nice flavor and texture, they were a good start. Next we went for the local cheeses board, another solid choice and a wonderful assortment of profiles, textures and compliments. For entrees we both had the Tilefish, also a solid choice served "Oscar" with crab on top over a risotto with garden peas. Cooked beautifully and so tender and succulent, it was a really good choice for dinner. Along with an ala carte Yukon gold fingerling truffle potatoes, they were also quite tasty and a nice additional to our meal. 4 Stars a solid dining choice, worth the effort to park. Reservations necessary most nights. 01082

From the moment we ascended the stairs into the dining room, till the time we left about 2 1/2 hours later, the service, food and ambience were excellent! We were especially pleased with our server, Elena. She is personable, helpful, and was responsive to our needs. She is someone who enjoys her work and does it so well. We skipped the appetizers and ordered some cocktails. They're a little pricey, but my old fashioned was quite large and very tasty-- one of the best I've ever had! Out of our group of six, all of us had steak, four fillets and one ribeye. One member of our party, a frequent diner at Saluda's, is a vegan and they prepared a very nice vegan meal for him. My entrée was cooked perfectly and was one of the best steaks I've had in recent memory. The outside was charged nicely. The flavor of the meat was superb, and it was cooked perfectly. Those who ordered filet, were very pleased with both the tenderness of the meat and how they were prepared! We also ordered a bottle of Italian red, called Cum Laude; it had a nice smooth mouth feel, a rich, jammy flavor, and just the right amount of tannins. Our sides, whether fingerling potatoes, asparagus scallops, or mashed potatoes, were seasoned well and cooked perfectly. All in all, a great dining experience!

Decided to try this when in town for business - very good! Once in the front door, you do have to walk up a steep flight of stairs, leading into a big open dining room room. It can get noisy, which is why they request no small Children. They also have balcony seating for when it is nice outside. Great location. Service was excellent. I went with the pork chop which was a great decision. Crème brûlée for dessert. Good stuff.

In all the years I've been living here I've never been to this restaurant and man have I been missing out. This place is absolutely amazing. Beautiful inside with a gorgeous elevated porch. Food was outstanding. I think I could have made a meal on the Mac and cheeses on my wife's plate. Steak was cooked perfectly with an excellent char. I highly recommend coming here.

Classic hospitality at Saluda's. The beverages are well crafted and the food is delicious. The second floor location gives you a little oasis above the street, although be careful on the stairs! The wait staff is well trained and friendly without being ostentatious, which I find increasingly rare. My favorite is the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese because then I don't have to choose between the two southern classics. The rack of lamb on my last visit was perfectly prepared. We hope to return soon!

Wife and I wanted to try something new for our wedding anniversary, had never been to Saluda's before and the menu looked great. Food and staff were excellent and we will be back. It's somewhat expensive? We were at $244 before tip but that was with 3 higher priced glasses of wine, 2 mixed drinks, and the filets. You could easily get out around $150 if you needed to. We had the fried green tomato appetizer which was prepared perfectly, and then two filets for dinner. Wife got the smaller size and wished she had gotten the 10oz CAB, just the right amount of salt and pepper and cooked to a perfect med rare. Mashed potatoes were great, asparagus was crisp! My wife loved her mixed drink and the wine selection was amazing. The desserts were also to die for. Entire evening couldn't have gone better. The atmosphere inside this restaurant feels refined and discreetly opulent. Giant mirrors on the wall with beautiful frames, white clothed tables with super comfortable slightly leaned back leather chairs. Whoever designed the inside totally gets how to capture all the right vibes without even a slight pretentious feeling. The bartender at the time, wearing a necklace with a P on it, was our waitress. She was an absolute 10, attentive, charismatic, helpful. Got every part of our order right and kept the drinks full despite being so busy. She was a big part of why my wife and I will be back, made our first experience with the restaurant memorable! Overall Saluda's is what feels like a private club style restaurant where you can actually go to relax and enjoy dinner. It's our new favorite place to eat in Columbia, we will likely be back for numerous date nights in the future. If you are stuck in a rut of feeling like blue marlin is the only fancier and consistent place you can go, Saluda's will finally give you that escape that you're looking for!

I saw one of my fellow Yelpers post about this place and so I decided to make a reservation to celebrate my birthday here. Best decision I made. They have complimentary valet parking. The valet is the best! Super personable and very kind! We were seated in a private room. It had a few Christmas decorations out, which made the room look festive. We were seated by the balcony. Our view was of the fountain. Our waiter was superb. He was very detailed in his explanations and described the menu very well. He explained some things like why they don't serve poultry. I really liked him. Our food was perfect! I ordered the crab cake, the smoked Gouda mac and cheese, the steak cooked medium rare, and shrimp. Nothing needed to be added or removed. Everything tasted phenomenal and was cooked perfectly. My guests and I really enjoyed and we all agreed that we will most certainly be coming back for more!

This is my new favorite restaurant in Columbia. Even though our reservation was for 2, the hostess didn't even blink at seating us a larger table to accommodate an extra person. Our server, Alex, was exceptional in every aspect of our dining experience, be it in giving us extra time to decide on our cocktails, appetizers and main entrees or in speedy delivery of everything we ordered. The ambiance is very cozy with a large bar accommodating walk ins. The food was absolutely delightful. We especially loved the grilled pork chop and the seared scallops. Saluda's is an absolute gem. We will be back soon.

Most amazing meal I have had in a long time. Had the green fried tomatoes. And the scallops. Very good. I come to Columbia for work a lot. Glad I found this place and definitely will be back. Service was great as well

I finally made it to Saluda's. I loved the vibe--everything from the entry and the steps to the quaint dining area and balcony area. We made reservations, so we were seated right away. The customer service was okay. Our server almost made me feel uncomfortable, but I did not let that disturb our experience.    The crab cake was pretty good, especially with the plum sauce. The cucumber kimchi was different but had a good taste. The mashed potatoes, broccolini, and crispy brussels sprouts were all delicious and flavorful. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly. It was so delicious. The lobster macaroni and cheese was just okay. It lacked flavor and missed the mark. It looked delicious, though, but again, there was no flavor. It was the only thing missing. The sweet tea was good as well.

Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 This passed experience was wonderful! My husband and I truly enjoyed our dinner. The wine was flowing, the brussel sprouts were the best I've ever had and the lamb entree was very good too! The collard greens were very tangy and I'm pretty picky about my collards, but I really liked it. The Parmesan mashed potatoes were delicious and the lamb was cooked beautifully, very tender and fell off the bone. Our server was attentive and did not miss a beat. Even though we made a reservation for 7:45pm, we got there early and was seated at a table, which was very nice. Only a few minutes after, there was a line down the stairs to get a table, so we made it just in time.

This was our first and last time here. I made reservations for my husband's birthday. The hosts were very friendly as well as our waitress. The atmosphere was nice. The food however was very underwhelming. We came here based on many positive reviews posted online, however the food was very disappointing. I ordered scallops which consisted of only 4 scallops on a plate of rice and field peas! I couldn't believe it. My husband ordered shrimp and grits but he hated the tomato broth and asked could he get it without. I'm assuming a manager came to our table to address the issue. He had a very snobbish attitude about the ordeal. He asked my husband did he not read the menu? I sat back and listened not wanting to interrupt two men talking. He then goes on to over talk my husband and said it's written plain as day on the menu that it included tomatoes, saying verbatim "It's practically spelled out "! I was so shocked that a manager was talking to my husband this way. I started to tell him forget making it over and let's just leave but it was his birthday and I didn't want to cause a scene. They remade his food and it was better plain but after the way this was handled I had lost my appetite. I'm only giving 2 stars because of the nice waitress. I will never step foot in this establishment again, not even for free !

Every taste of the food was impeccable. Our bartender/server, Paiton was cordial and outgoing. Classy & elegant ambiance. I'm sad that we're just discovering Saluda's after coming to Columbia the last 4 years. This place will definitely be a must stop every-time!

Saludas was a really nice restaurant. The ambiance was amazing. Nicely organized. Semi private seating, quiet enough you could carry on conversations. Just perfect for out post grad dinner. Service was awesome. The server was knowledgeable, friendly and respectful. She was attentive and polite. Now, let's get to the food. I highly recommend Saludas for any special event.

Carson was our server and she was amazing. Very attentive and sweet. Food was absolutely amazing emphasis on dessert. The dining area is very cute and we even got a window view of the fountain. 10/10

Cute little place. Food wasn't terrible but I just felt like some of the items were a little cold. My Tomato Bisque wasn't that hot and it didn't seem like a bisque...was more of a tomato soup and yes there is a difference between a bisque and soup. The Mac and cheese was pretty good but not that hot. It was served in a skillet but it seemed like the skillet was for show because that wasn't even piping hot. The fried green tomatoes were very good and so was the pork chop. Definitely like how fluffy the sweet potato mash was. Basically melted in your mouth and felt airy. Overall it wasn't bad but I just don't like when food is a little cold.

WOW, very nice yet comfortable dinning here. Went for our 14 year anniversary and it far exceeded expectations. Reservations were for Tuesday night 11/08/22 at 7pm. Not too crowded and great atmosphere. I like a good restaurant that you don't have to raise your voice to be heard by the person sitting directly in front of you. Amanda G was our waitress and she was awesome, very attentive but not overly so and was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu and drink selections. We started with the Seafood Trio. Excellent appetizer with three of the largest shrimp I have ever eaten. Good choice for appetizer. Included some fried oysters which were delicious. My wife traded a shrimp for the rest of my oysters which was a deal imho! Wife had the fresh caught halibut and she said it was some if not the best she has ever had, and halibut is her favorite fish beside grouper. I had the 16oz ribeye which was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Dessert was the cherry cobbler which we split and it was VERY good. A little pricey but for a anniversary dinner I have never had a better experience and worth ever penny at least once a year!

Great service and food always, Saludas is solid and consistent. I've been here many times, if you want A+ meal this is your place! Make reservations and enjoy.

Went here for restaurant week. The food was amazing!! The pork chop was juicy and tender and their dessert was so good. Service was incredible as expected. The restaurant is old fashioned and you have to climb up these stairs to get to it making it feel very cool and upscale.

This place is without a doubt, amazing. I had the pork chop tonight. It's thick and juicy, and cooked just right with the perfect amount of char on the outside. The sweet potato puree mixes with the butter beans and homemade bbq sauce until it all just melts into your tongue with the bursting flavors. The service is impeccable, along with that fine dining but relaxed casual atmosphere. Perfect for upscale events and date nights!

Food was delicious. Atmosphere left a little bit to be desired. Wait staff great.

Probably my favorite meal in Columbia so far. Scallops, shrimp and grits, pasta du jour were all amazing. Oysters too. Great location n Five Points.

Beautiful upscale dining! Food was delicious, server was good, ambience is lovely! Definitely a place to go for celebrations!

My sister, niece, and I enjoyed this amazing restaurant recently for 2025 restaurants week. We truly enjoyed a delicious a three course meal well worth the price. We also had wonderful winter adult beverages.

Atmosphere was really nice. Perfect place for a nice date night or intimate gathering with friends and family. We will definitely visit again. Our food: Appetizers: -Grilled Pork Belly -Raw Oysters -Fried Green Tomatoes Drinks: -Mocktail Ginger Lemonade Mule -Mocktail Blood Orange Spritz Entrees: -Pan Seared Halibut -Pasta du Jour with CAB Beef & Shrimp

What an amazing date night on a Sunday. The service was immaculate. The oysters were the freshest that I've had. The homemade limoncello is delicious and the perfect end of the date. What a special place with a great team. My cocktail was delicious. I can't say enough great about it. Thanks Andrew and everyone else for making our visit so great.

The food was outstanding - as always The service.... Katie was the best, she was taking care of multiple tables but treated each as if it were her only.

Delicious menu for restaurant week this year. Started the the course dinner with the crab arancini which was super crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I just wish there was more crab. My friend and I both got the surf and turf pasta which had hand-rolled fettuccini, Maine lobster & beef tenderloin. The tenderloin was so tender and flavorful, it melted in your mouth. The night was topped off with a nice warm brownie. We opted for the the homemade cinnamon whipped cream instead of the mint ice cream. Saluda's never disappoints and continues to be my favorite place to dine in Columbia.

Saludas was the choice tonight for my Mother In Love's G Day ... Walking in to the restaurant immediately up the stairs the ambiance is amazing ... I started the night with a Mexican mule with Don Julio ... then I changed to the gin and tonic with a lime .... For my appetizer I got the raw oysters and they were amazing ... and also I ordered the spicy fried oysters also ... both were amazing ... for my entree I got the lamb dish and subbed the collards for the asparagus due to them being made with pork ... the lamb dish was ok ... needed more season for my taste but it was falling off the bone ... I also ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and it also was lacking that wow factor of flavor.... Overall not a bad outing but my taste buds weren't satisfied ... S/O to Greg our waiter he was on point the whole night .. not bad but for the price I wouldn't recommend if you go for flavor.. but for and upscale outing give it a try ... till next time ...

Saluda's is a special occasion place for my family and I. The food is Southern inspired and done at a really high level. They have one of my favorite filets in town. My partner really likes the fried green tomatoes. Oddly, my favorite part of this place is the ambiance. It is upstairs from the hustle and bustle of Five Points and you can eat in the dining room but my partner and I always eat on the balcony which has a great view of the Five Points Square. The service is great. The staff are all knowledgeable and extremely friendly. This is a great place for a nice dinner out with your person.

2nd year in a row celebrating Mother's Day. Exceptional service alone is worth the visit.

Saludas had been on my list of restaurants to visit for a few years, but I never found an opportunity to go. I finally decided I no longer wanted to wait, so my niece and I made reservations for dinner at 7:45. When we arrived the hostesses were very friendly and welcoming. We were promptly sat at our table and the ambiance was amazing. Our server was quick to greet us and offer us water. She gave us ample amount of time to decide on our appetizers and she guided us through the menu with expertise. Our appetizers came out relatively quick and they were amazing. We got the fried oysters and fried green tomatoes. These were excellent choices. Both dishes had phenomenal flavor. I would return for a 2nd visit for the appetizers alone but the entrees were also delicious. I highly recommend Saludas Restaurant. Great for dates, business meetings or family gatherings.

Food, service and ambiance were great. Could not have been more pleased. And to be open on a Monday night was just what our schedules needed.

An early Christmas dinner. The food and atmosphere were wonderful, and our server Parker was amazing!!!! We had fried green tomatoes, fried oysters, Lobster and Crab Mac n Cheese and the Seafood Trio.

For me Saluda's is a very special place with authentic filet mignon. And I really like the atmosphere, the restaurant is upstairs, well away from the hustle and bustle of the street. You can choose to enjoy your dinner upstairs with a great view of the Five Points Plaza. The service from the store personnel is very good and everyone is knowledgeable and friendly, it's a great place for a date with your partner!

Awesome service great menu and the portions are insane! New favorite spot in Columbia

Great menu and food quality. Glad to have some mock tails choices. Wonderful for a business dinner, dates, or out with friends.

Had the Sweet Tea Pork. Brined and prepared with impeccable care and care. Delicious. Shrimp and grits came in a tomato base, wifey lived it. The fried green tomatoes were fantastic and esthetically pleasing to look at. The deep fried oysters were the only miss. The "foot" of the oysters were overcooked and too chewy. Service was spot on and knowledgeable. Great ambience, lively and loud outside on the lovely balcony. It's a special occasion restaurant designed to ensure you feel welcome. The excellent food puts a cap on the evening.

Old oil for their fried apps. Burned looking and shitty. Manager was a d-bag. Ambiance : Had a shitty band outside. 5 points has become very ghetto. I won't go back. I gave 1 star because I had to.

Fantastic service and food! It's been years since I had been there but needed to make a new memory so I went with my niece. Food was fantastic. We had a charcuterie board, each had a different steak, and shared the s'mores brownie torte. I also enjoyed the blood orange margarita. Wonderful experience. Our service was amazing too. Definitely recommend!!

I reserve my 5 star for real 5 star experiences. Let's start with the staff. We had a reservation at 7 PM. We showed up early in Hope's of grabbing a drink at the bar but as soon as we arrived, despite them being busy they said they could accommodate us and get us a table. And it was better from there. Our server was very friendly, prompt and willing to make nice suggestions. She knew the menu well and was the right amount of attentive. The Food: we started with the fried green tomatoes and we both agree they were the best we've ever had. My wife had the shrimp and grits and I had the pasta de jour. This night the meat choice was blackened shrimp. Everything about it was great. The pasta is made in house and cooked perfectly. Not quite al dente but but firm not mushy or sticky. The shrimp was likewise cooked perfectly and very flavorful. In fact I cant wait to return to have the pasta again. My wife enjoyed her meal. But loved her cocktails. She had the blood orange margarita and the cucumber martini made with their house infused vodka. The cucumber martini was her favorite. Overall our experience was great. It's not inexpensive so be prepared to spend your money, but to us it was worth every savory bite. We will return during our next visit to Columbia.

Long time fine dining restaurant in Columbia with by far the best view when sitting on the patio! Great location, consistent food, friendly staff. Best wine list in town.

Saluda's is and has been one of the best spots in Columbia. Every plate was amazing! And the service was spectacular, Brandon our server was a gem! Andrew the GM is the nicest human! I highly recommend the seasonal cocktails made by Payton! Food wise, the pork chop was cooked to perfection and the seafood trio was delicious. The shrimp were huge. Can't wait to go back!! 10/10 always!
