Did I go to the wrong address? Five stars? Why?

by Mama Foody

Trying to impress best friend. Ordered Sangria which turned out to be watery. Best friend's drink was garnished with human hair. They kept filling our glass with warm water on a hot day. Food was okay. Had rice pudding and that was a joke. Service okay. Bill was approximately $70+ for two people. If tab is that much, waitresses should not look like they just came in from the garden - little shorts with undershirt. Outdoor cafe a joke - try to picture tables set up on a narrow sidewalk! Photo of restaurant on internet made the place look spacious. Was seated in a crammed space in front of an electrical outlet, even though the restaurant was not crowded. Walked away annoyed, water logged and hungry! Best part? A little baby who kept saying, "Da, Da, Da, Da, Da!"

• Pros: New definition of Prix Fixe means little Appetizers!
• Cons: Internet write up was complete opposite of experience!

Fantastic Food and Local Entertainment!

by dbenitez

Serving a variety of Caribbean cuisine from Cuban to Puerto Rican to Dominican, Salud captures the true essence of each dished served. The portions are great and the food is phenominal bringing your taste buds alive with every bite. The deserts were great and the specialty drinks like Mojitos are second to none.

For entertainment the Trio playing background Cuban music was excellent. We had a party of 12 and we all gave Salud a solid thumbs up!

• Pros: Best Tapas in all of Mahattan!
• Cons: A bit small and tight

exquisite latin cuisine

by huntres163

The appetizers were just the right portions, and the presentation was enticing and made you want to order everything. It was my first time there and my date and I found "Salud" to be a romantic, classy spot.

• Pros: excellent tapas menu
• Cons: wish it was bigger for live music

Yum!

by Melanie1234

About 2 weekends ago my boyfriend and I took a walk down to the pier looking for a place to have a late brunch.

We have a favorite Italian place just across the street from Salud that we usually go to but decided to try something different. We decided to eat at Salud because of the outdoor seating - it was such a nice day! We ordered two tapas and shared - the cuban sandwich was so so so delicious!! And so were the fish tacos. We loved the food and the location and look forward to making it a regular spot for us. I can't wait to go there for dinner and drinks! The women sitting next to us had mojitos that looked great.

• Pros: The food and outdoor seating

Mango Martinis!!

by girlsgottaeat

Feels like you stepped into an Ernest Hemingway novel, that great nautical/tropical feel and look. We were lucky to snag a seat by the bar . The Mango Martinis were delectable, not too sweet and just the right amount of alcohol; would have made Mr. Hemingway proud! Most of the staff was congregated by the bar area (chatting right across from us) and I still had to flag them down to ask about my drink and then again my food order! Come on guys it might look and feel tropical but this is still NYC! Still the Mango Martinis made up for it.

• Pros: Ambience
• Cons: place is tiny, service is slow

cozy place..

by stanroth

This place is a little pricey, but not over the top, the portions are small but worth every penny!!! When I go out, I would rather have a few spectacular bites of food than a plate of something mediocre.... Plus the wine selection is excellent!

The staff is polished and knowledgeable, and despite being on Third and usually occupied by the "beautiful, it's unpretentious.

It's a cozy place, perfect for an intimate date
