Salute Taverna

"Staff is welcoming and attentive. They are good at expediting the meal at a reasonable pace. Our family really enjoyed the variety of food. It was nice to find a place that had upscale food (Ribeye was amazing) and child friendly food. Even though we were full after dinner, we had to try the limoncello and chocolate cakes. Every thing met or exceeded our expectations. The live music was an added bonus. We will definitely be returning soon!"

"In short, everyone was personable, kind, and gracious. I had some kind of enormous deep fried rice ball that blew my mind with flavors. Everyone made us feel COMFORTABLE and that is something rare today..."

"My wife and I were looking for a new place to have brunch on a Saturday. She had remembered hearing positive things about Salute Taverna, so we made the trek from Rockwood to Taylor to check it out. We arrived at 1:00 PM and didn't have to wait for seating. We like to sample a variety of menu items at new places, and there were lots of compelling options to consider. We decided on Biscuits & Gravy, the Italian Benedict and the Chorizo Bowl. Melissa, our server, was attentive and had great recommendations. She also brought the food out quickly. Everything was piping hot when it hit the table. Our first taste was the Biscuits & Gravy, and we both had the same opinion. Incredible! I'm a Biscuits & Gravy snob and frequently disappointed. This wasn't the case here. Chef Sean has a secret recipe he's been developing, and it was the best I've ever had. No joke...the best. The eggs on the Italian Benedict were perfect. There are only a few places Downriver that poach eggs correctly on their Benedicts, and this is one of them. The prosciutto adds a special Italian twist that is nicely accentuated by the arugula. Oh, and the home fries were nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. Finally, the Chorizo Bowl was an amalgam of flavors and ingredients you might not expect for breakfast or brunch. Chorizo, chorizo gravy, jalapenos, braised beef (WHAT!) and fried onions. All of that topped with eggs and sitting on home fries. Spicy, savory, comforting and way too much food for one person. The Chorizo Bowl was very good, and it really took me by surprise. I'm SO glad I ordered it. These dishes all seemed thoughtfully crafted by Chef Sean to make the diner happy they ordered it, and if this was his intent, he nailed it today. The bold flavors, excellent service and fair prices will see us returning and recommending without reservation. Great job Salute Taverna!"

"Love the atmosphere of the place and service was great. Big portions of food. The alfredo needed a little more garlic flavor and seasonings. The lasagna was good but I'm not really a fan of the oregano flavor of it. Im not going to say it was bad, it just wasn't my taste. We will still be back to try other items."
