    Salanne Steak Tavern was outstanding. The food presentation is unique and delicious. Alfredo, our server, was absolutely excellent. He made the dining experience memorable for our anniversary, All the staff were courteous and friendly. My compliments to all.

    From the second we walked in the door it was perfect, Hostess greeted us and recognized our anniversary, she asked our preference on dinning atmosphere "lively" or "more romantic" we picked the latter and she got us a beautiful table in the wine room. Our server Vito was a professional and very efficient waiter. We dont drink anymore;) but there wine list and cocktail program looked incredible. The cbd mocktails where perfectly fantastic! Food was perfect we did the bread service and artichoke soup and wedge both fantastic then split goat cheese beet dish that is as good as they say. Had the filet and halibut with saffron broccolini and truffle risotto as sides all perfect. Oh and add the salts they make the steak even better!

    Great food and wonderful service. In my opinion, it is one of the better restaurants in Orange County. It’s a higher price point but the value is there.

    It was a Mother’s day fixed menu and overall the food was delicious. The restaurant definitely gives fine dining vibes…The service was a bit slow especially for drinks. The most concerning part of our experience was when we left the restaurant waiting for valet, I forgot my sunglasses on the table. We were gone from the table for 5-10 minutes max and when I ran back in to fetch my glasses, they were nowhere to be found. I am certain they were on the table. The table had been cleared when I came back and the glasses were not there. This is a very upscale restaurant that should’ve held the glasses for the customer or called my number from the reservation. I left my number with the hostess however I doubt I will get a call with my glasses.

    Mother’s Day Brunch very good as always. Outdoor seating, maybe a little too noisy for me.
