Ive eaten here several times over the past few years, but this was the first time with my husband. We enjoyed a lazy, sunny lunch on a Saturday last month and had the best Duck Risotto complete with Quackling YUM! Great vibe, nice friendly service and always great offerings on the tapas menu! Awesome.

Now running as tapas bar (with pizzas). Do not take reservations. Interesting menu, lots to try, brought out in batches as in Spanish tapas bars, excellent place to go as a group to share lots of dishes. Everything we tried was really nicely cooked and well presented. We ordered too much food, cost about $55 per person including a couple of drinks. We will definitely be going back.

A small group of us visited Salute early last month. I had heard good and bad about it so we decided to find out for ourselves. They were very busy, the place was packed but we eventually found a vacant table. The staff were very good and we didn't feel rushed at all (though there are so many wonderful dishes to choose from it took us awhile to make our selections). Also, since they didn't have the wine I preferred, the waitress went out of her way to give me a tasting of a wine she recommended (and which we subsequently chose to have with our meal). The food (tapas)was really good, as was the pizza we ordered. We will definitely be going back.

Haven't been here since it had become a tapas bar, so decided to dine here on our visit to Greytown. We were pleased we booked a table as the place was packed.
The interior is inviting and I liked the terracotta platters on the wall. I was surprised to see Rusty serving us (previously from a well regarded restaurant in Wellington) and he provided his usual great service.
Although meals are also served here, we had a range of tapas which were very tasty. The standouts were the arancini, snapper with some type of (I think) cucumber gelee, and the smoked kahawai and baccalau fritters. These all went well with the Julicher rose. The lemon fritters provided a refreshing end to the meal.
Will defninitely return.
