Salut Bar Americain

Popped in for a late lunch. Love the atmosphere. It has that French cafe feel. The Aperol spritz was so refreshing on a hot afternoon. The 3 course Le Deal was just great. Smooth flavorful gaspacho, mushroom crepe, finished with chocolate mousse was the route I took. All so good. The service was friendly and attentive. Will go back again and again.

I came in during a quiet happy hour, many people are bound to be off enjoying the beautiful spring day while I enjoyed oysters and a beautiful halibut. The spritz of the day featured rhubarb and was a lovely start, a touch of tartness and bubbles galore. The freshly shucked oysters were light and delicious, but the halibut really shined. The slight crisp on the fish went beautifully with the sauce verte, and as someone who loves couscous I felt this was spectacular. Homey and warm, light and satisfying.

The sweetest man was my server around 11:30/noon out on the patio yesterday. He was so sweet to my dog, Booberry! :) Yummy food, and excellent and attentive staff. Best sit-down service I ever had.

Came here with one of my friends the other day for dinner. The food was excellent! I also loved the ambience. Service was a bit slow and we did have to wait for quite a while, but the wait was worth it because the food was so good. I definitely recommend the frites and the baguette with olives and butter

Saturday evening we stopped in for a celebration dinner here and we were seated right away, but this was before the dinner rush. Dale was a wonderful server, very attentive and funny while remaining professional. We did have to utilize the free parking garage about a block away. The atmosphere here was very cozy and well lit, we started off with happy hour cocktails which were so delicious we tried all of them. From the Duchess, the spritz, mule royale and the French rose. Hard to decide which was the best when we truly enjoyed them all. However, the food didn’t really wow us personally, we started off with the chips but the dip was really bland. My husband said he enjoyed his chalet sliders. The oysters were good and I’m glad I tried them during happy hour for a fraction of the cost. I was really disappointed with the French onion soup. I tried to add salt and pepper but it just wasn’t cutting it. The halibut was delicious and the asparagus were perfectly cooked, along with the couscous. My husband didn’t enjoy his hanger au poivre and along with the 5% service charge this place is really hit or miss with the food. Although everything isn’t for everybody I would recommend you to come and try it for yourself and form your own opinion.

I’d give this place 4.5 stars if I could. Not James Beard award winning but the food is solid. The oysters were on happy hour and they were fresh, firm, and briny. The salads were creative, well executed, and the most memorable part of our meal. We had both the beet salad and the endive. The handmade chips were fine. The walleye was moist and flaky and the sauce with capers was a nice compliment. The salmon nomande with clams was classic and satisfying. The poulet paillard was crispy and sure to please a picky eater. Service was wonderful - we had Ronda 🫶🏼!

I had an outstanding experience at Salut Bar Americain. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was excellent, and the service truly stood out. I especially want to recognize General Manager Kathy Nelson for going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She was incredibly attentive, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. It’s clear she cares deeply about the customer experience and runs a top-notch team. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending Salut to others. Thank you, Kathy, for making our visit so memorable!

We had a group dinner at Salut and it was everything we could ask for! From the reservation to the dessert - it was a quick, smooth process and delicious food! They were able to fit almost 20 people in the back area and we were served quickly and with a friendly smile! I would highly recommend the walleye but there are so many other delicious choices the group was raving about! Great atmosphere, very well put together menu and friendly staff! I would choose it again and again!
