Best Authentic Restaurants in South Salem

Positive dinner experience with attentive servers.

It was our 1st time @ Tablao and having eaten at many a fine restaurant, this was a fabulous experience! We had a Sunday afternoon meal, so it was quiet. The wait staff informed us of the time expectation for meals ordered, which was appreciated and not often done in most restaurants. The waiter and staff were very attentive as well. The food was excellent; all 4 of us thought the same. I had the chicken scarpiello and it was unusually prepared and delicious. The paella was delicious and not overloaded with rice as sometimes happens. The lava cake and cheesecake was a wonderful finish to the meal. I would hands down recommend Tablao and look forward to going back!

Warm and welcoming staff makes every visit feel like a special occasion. Food and service are excellent.

My two girlfriends and I had a lovely time at Brasserie St. Germaine. We ordered the moles frites (mariniere) as an appetizer and they were delicious. We had a nice bottle of Muscadet with our main course. My friends had the Normandy crepes and said they were good. I ordered the monkfish (a special that night that was recommended by our waiter). I thought it might have been overcooked as it was rubbery and chewy. I wish I had ordered the haddock instead. We had two desserts - profiteroles and the apple crepe, they were both delicious. The service was excellent. I would definitely dine there again but might stay away from the fish.
