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.

After hearing about this place for years I finally had a chance to visit. Maybe it used to be a great spot 10-15 years ago but that wasn't my experience. We visited on a Friday around 7 and there were plenty of open seats. I arrived a few minutes ahead of my dining companion and was asked if I would like something to drink but opted to wait. The decor was pretty basic. Not as upscale as I had expected. It was very brightly lit and decorated with a variety of tables and booths. Nothing seemed very private as the whole place was open. Overall I got an Italian style decor vibe instead of French restaurant for some reason. When my friend arrived we were asked about drinks but she had just sat down so needed a minute. We ordered a bottle of wine and then seemingly were forgotten until I had to flag down the waiter to order. He seemed to be the only one covering around 5 tables but wasn't overly present or active with any specific table. Throughout the evening he seemed fairly uninterested overall. We ordered a baked Brie, croque monsieur and rabbit ragu. Brie was slices, not a round or wedges, with some figs and nuts and a side of honey that had spilled on the plate. It was pretty good but didn't expect the slices and the actual dish was so hot I burned my finger. Sandwich was huge with lots of fries. Overall maybe the best deal on the menu based on volume. My friend didn't comment either way so I assume it was good. Rabbit ragu started out good. Lots of meat, noodles done well, not too much sauce. It was just near the end that I had the unfortunate few bites with some bones. Overall service was prob a 2,2.5/5. Food was a generous 3/5, decor was 2.5/5 and overall value for experience was also 2. Glad I went to try it out, prob won't go back again.

I love salute, as I have a soft spot for French cuisine... The atmosphere is generally quite accommodating, sometimes a bit kid friendly for my taste, but love the extra touches... There's a gigantic brass frog that meets you at the entrance, there is a sweet little notepad and crayons for the kiddos if they need to be entertained when you check in, and of course, the food is French so if you love, escargot and French bread, and all the wonderful things that France has to offer from a gastronomic pallet, you're going to be thrilled. That said, it's not terribly expensive and they have a bit of food and beverage to suit every budget and pallette! Bon appétit~

We haven't been her in many years and came by for dinner. The place still has the nice old fashioned French bistro decor. The host, server, and manager checked up on us many times and made sure we were happy. Everything tasted amazing. I really loved my prime rib cooked perfectly medium rare with savory aus jus and horseradish sauce. My wife loved her tuna nicoise salad. Highly recommend!

Baked Brie (pistachio, dried figs & cherries, honey, apple & warm honey baguette), Warm Gougeres (French cheese puffs with honey butter), + Niçoise salad w/ salmon (haricots verts, potato, marinated olives, hard cooked egg, anchovy vinaigrette)Putting aside my highly biased opinion of baked brie being a top 3 cheese...Salut Bar American is a solid choice!The brie was sweet, savory, with a lovely crunch from the pistachio + apple. The gougeres were like soft, cheesy little pillows and the salad was packed with flavor (if you like olives you'd love this salad). In the true French sense, the service was a bit laissez-faire making it ideal for great conversation...but maybe not the best place if you're in a time crunch!

Great meal. Our first time trying this restaurant. The environment is nice, it was busy but the way the dining room is divided up it feels like you are in a smaller restaurant. Everything we had was great- the hangar steak, a burger, soup and the Brie appetizer. Service was attentive, not rushed.

Great place for a Happy Hour after work. We had a party of 6 hoping to sit outside on the patio, but the outdoor seating only allowed for parties of 4 or less. The inside was also beautiful, so we still had a good time. The happy hour oysters on a half shell were DELICIOUS! They were removed from the menu for a while during the pandemic, but they're baaaack! I also love their aperol spritz cocktails. I left out one star because of service. Our waiter was just okay. He was neither friendly, nor attentive. Also, there was an extra drink on my bill that I didn't order. He removed it before I paid, but it did bother me.
