Excellent service, amazing atmosphere & presentation, & delicious food. Love the craft cocktails. Forgot to take a pic of our desserts but they were excellent, too. I’ve had more flavorful sea bass but this would not stop us from returning. I cut the empanadas in half to share before taking a picture, but they were beautifully presented as well.

Sarah and Sam at the bar were excellent.

The food was amazing from start to finish and our server Dan was incredible. I would highly recommend Salar to everyone.

Outstanding food and service. Loud and lively atmosphere!

The tables are not spaced apart enough. We’re in a pandemic and the restaurant needs to pay more attention to the possibility of community spread. We left early because we didn’t feel safe

7/22/22 Food was best we have had there. Waiter Mark was great! A bit crowded as tables are close and conversations are not private!

We were treating the grandparents to their wedding anniversary and a birthday. We kept missing the regular menu coming at brunch time/holidays so it was nice to finally try the dishes on the website. The grandparents were super pleased with presentation, flavor and service! It was deja vu as we had the same table and waitress as last time we were there a few months back for mother's day and she remembered us which made the service pleasant. She even finished the night by saying see you soon which was a nice touch. The table shared empanadas (beef as grampa is allergic to seafood), pork chops, lamb and the short ribs. The 8 year old liked the short ribs the most and their risotto (which I was able to get instead of lima beans) was wonderful for me. We were allowed 1 dessert free for celebrating and we actually picked 3 out total-enjoyed them all. I'm always glad when grandpa can find things to eat on a fancy menu as he is diabetic and has food allergies. Overall great for celebrating and a gem for downtown but not something I can afford more often. I didn't get it this time but I also loved their fried plantains and they serve the Chilean national drink pisco sour which I reminiscence about my time in Chile when I get it there.

The food was great, our server was attentive but not overwhelming. The decor is fun and classy.

you don't serve rice and french fires together in the same meal!!!!!

The food was great except for my medium rare steak that was delivered close to well done. We were given the excuse that it was wood fired....don't offer it medium rare if wood firing it cannot be done. Preferably, don't give an excuse, just cook another one. Aside from that one thing, it was a very nice evening.
