My husband and I celebrated our renewal of vows and decided to go to Salute to celebrate, along with 12 other family members and friends. We were seated, and the ONLY table in the entire restaurant... The server took 15 minutes to make it to our table to take our order.. It was another 35-40 minutes before we received our dinners..T HEN, when we got the bill, they had added 20% gratuity! It was not posted ANYWHERE in the restaurant, OR on the menu that they did this automatically.. When we asked them to show us where this is their policy, they could not produce anything in writing or otherwise! The server only came to our table three times - once to take our order, once to bring it out and once to bring us the check.. The worst service I have ever experienced, but a quick way for her to make a $90.00 tip!! They care nothing about customer service - they treat you like you are just a dollar bill!! This experience pretty much ruined the entire evening.. Bad reviews make it much further than good ones!! I will be sure to spread the word!

You know when you leave a place you've visited and there are those 1 or 2 "postcards" of memories you keep flipping back to? Salute will be one of your postcards. You'll keep picturing the casual tables by the sand, the brightly colored walls, the view of turquoise water, volleyball players, happy dogs walking by with their humans, kids with buckets, that steady lull being by the water creates...and that antipasti plate next to a cold bottle of pinot grigio. You will be able to picture it. You will be able to taste it (those clams...that grouper piping its warm curry smell out of the parchment...the pink shrimp tossed in linguine) and your heart will ache to be back. Hurry up and go there to take the snapshot you'll treasure.

My favorite table in the world (and, I'm not kidding) is the one in the corner under the coconut palm, overlooking the volleyball court. Owner, Dawn Vincent, is a gracious hostess who keeps this little Italian open-air beachfront cafe simple and welcoming and honest. Food is delicious, atmosphere is unbeatable, service is lovely. It's perfect. What more can I say!? P.S. Oh, I guess I should mention that lunch is always more fun when the best bodies on the island are playing volleyball right in front!
