Salud Restaurant & Bar

This is a fantastic little find in the Seaport. The atmosphere is so inviting and warm, the food is almost always consistently delicous! The service is good and the prices are reasonable. Make sure to ask for the garlic olive oil to eat with your bread. It is only served by request and it is a necessary part of the experience. Enjoy! more

There is plenty of terrific Latin fare to be found in New York CIty and sadly, none of it is here at Salud. The atmosphere is great, the space adorable, and the service seemed top-notch when we walked in, so my husband and I expected a treat. The first let-down came along with the drinks. The $9 a glass sangria was bright screaming red, tasted like koolaid, and had no booze in it. Then we discovered that the prix fixe is a scam. Anyone else feel that two tapas dishes qualifiy as appetizer and entree? Entrees are supposed to be bigger than appetizers -- not so at Salud. We felt that were lured in to the restaurant under false pretenses (bargain dinnner) and were not pleased. However, we were starving and it was Saturday night (places around were pretty packed) so we opted to stay, skip the prix fixe (who in their right mind would order two bite-sized dishes and a thimble of flan for $20?) and see if this place was worth the price of admission. We ordered a bunch of tapas dishes, all of which were fair to middling, especially in light of the fact that the prices were completely off the hook. $12-17 a plate for tapas? It had better be loaded with lobster or caviar or the work of a gastronomic genius. They're charging these prices for tiny tacos and chicken wings, friends. And the paella was small, dry, and tasteless. Ahem, this is their signature dish. The lobster was so skimpy (half a scrawny claw for two people) and tasted as if it has been frozen or fished out of the East River. If we wanted to spend $150 on dinner, we would have gone to a place we know is worth it. This place is joke. We were both hungry, sober, and steamed (unlike the reheated lobster) when we got home. Never again. Pros: Ambience Cons: Everything else more

My husband and I went here last thursday night. Service was gracious and the food was excellent. They had a live latin band playing which added a nice touch to our diner. We thought the entire experience was wonderful. This place is really great. Pros: Delicious Food, Great Ambiance, Wonderful Service more

So much good food! So little time! This joint's gonna make me fat. The Ensalda de Camarones is amazing....addictive, even. Their ceviche is different than anyone else's, and better for it. And the beef-stuffed plaintains are sweet on the outside and savory on the inside.\r \r I'm a coconut fan, so the Coconut Margarita blew my mind, and for desert I followed it up with a Chocolate Coconut Martini. You can't really go wrong with drink like these. \r \r Salud! Pros: food, food, food Cons: price more

If you like to eat good food, do not stop by this restaurant. The "latin" food is not latin at all, and this is coming from a latina and her party who attended this place! The pre-fix menu is misleading....the entree and appetizers are the same size! Chicharones de pollo are chicken wings? since when...wrong name on the menu! The food took forever to arrive! "Its all made from scratch" and thats why it takes soo long...? well then hire more chef's...duh. NOT RECOMMENDED. oh and the food is overpriced. Pros: Decor, Sangria was ok Cons: Food, High Price more

Ambience, service & staff were great. Food is not worth writting about. The happy hour till 7pm is great. Mojito for $5 w/ a sugar cane & mint was worth the trip there. Pros: nice ambience, happy hour Cons: small dining area, small bar more

I have been reading the reviews and was very shocked to hear that many complaints are due to the long wait. I have been there 3 times and have a reservation for April 7. Yes the food takes a little long to get to the table, but it its always fresh and piping hot! I understand that the food is made to order. It is well worth the wait!! sip on a nice drink, relax and enjoy the atmosphere. The service is average, but the food speaks for itself. whoever is cooking these meals puts a whole lot of work into the taste and the presentation. So if you are in a rush DONT GO!! but if you wanna relax and have good time with frinds..its a MUST that you check this place out!!! Pros: great appetizers, good sangria Cons: parking, long wait for food, average wait staff more

It's cold outside. You slip into a dimly lit corner with your partner. It's a night that starts with mouth watering mojitos and the best sangria ever! You begin with a plate of plantain chips with 2 dips as you let your eyes take in the menu. So many sinful choices. May I reccommend the lobster tacos and the payella? Three or 4 tapas are perfect for 2 people. Then you can share an entree. I love the grilled seafood platter. The desserts are limited but the sweet fried plantains served warm and carmelized should satisfy. This place is amazing! The service may be slow with the water glass refills but you will not leave hungry... just happy and maybe a little tipsy off of the pitcher of sangria! Pros: food, sangria, atmosphere Cons: desserts limited more

On Feb 17th, at 12:45pm we went to celebrate a farewell lunch for a high level colleague. At the tail end of waiting for 1 hour we got our appetizers, and the waitress then told us ""oops"" sorry, we ran out your item. Then we waited another 40 minutes for the entrees, and were told ""oops"" we dont have any steak left so 4 of you can re-order. Instead of telling us earlier, she waited till the last possible minute to tell us. Then the manager said, hey we'll give you shrimp instead, which would have taken another hour. We then were charged for the appetizers and drinks, at regular price, not the lesser pre-fix menu price we ordered from. PLEASE SAVE YOUR SELF FROM THIS HORRIBLE PLACE. The food we did eat was way below average, very hard and fishy fritters. Pros: NONE, None Cons: Service, Management, Noisy more

These people have no business running a restaurant. I don't think I've ever had a worst service than the one I got in this place. It took at least 1 hour before we started getting our appetizers and even then did not come together. Some of us didnt even get what we ordered. For the main course we waited another hour only to be told that restaurant had ran out food. They would not even bother to apologizing for the unbelievably bad service and went ahead and charged us in full for what we had ordered. Horrible service, horrible attitude by the staff.
