We visited Salazar for Valentine’s Day dinner, and overall we had a lovely experience. The atmosphere was very cozy and romantic, and the front staff were incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The food was absolutely delicious — truly one of the highlights of our evening. Everything we ordered was well prepared and flavorful, and we really enjoyed our meal. The only area that could use some improvement was the service at our table. Our waitress did not seem to bring the same energy and attentiveness to us that we observed with other tables. Additionally, the check was brought to us before we were ready to leave. My husband had actually been about to order another drink, but when the check arrived, he changed his mind. We still enjoyed our evening and would consider retu

I truly think this is the greatest meal I have ever had! Oysters with the house hot sauce were incredible. Oyster sandwiches were the most perfectly balanced bite. Bread with bone marrow butter was salty and savory in the best way. Gnocchi was the best I’ve ever had - the sauce you could bury me in. Ended it with the butter cake. Everything was phenomenal. By far best restaurant in Cinci, dare I say country!

We were privileged to eat at Salazar before he opened to the public, and then again before Christmas. We cannot be more thrilled that it is back! The place is lovely with different rooms that each have their own ambiance. We were seated in the room with the fireplace the first time, and it was lovely and full of energy. The second time we were seated in the room behind the bar, and it was more subdued and private. When we go again, I would request the room that would accommodate our needs for the night. The management is ever present, which is delightful. Our servers both times were fantastic. It is obvious that they like where they work, and respect Chef Jose and his concepts and food immensely. Here is what we ate and drank and our thoughts: The No.5, Papi Chulo, and Bruce Banner wer

A Flawless Dining Experience at Salazar Salazar delivered one of the most memorable meals I’ve had in a long time. What truly amazed me was the consistency—every dish was exceptional. The bright, beautifully balanced salad, the silky and perfectly seasoned chicken mousse, and the incredibly flavorful chicken entrée each flowed seamlessly into the next. The flavors were bold yet refined, and the execution was flawless from start to finish. Add in warm, attentive service, and it became an evening I won’t forget. Salazar is pure excellence—highly recommended.
