The food and overall experience were great. The main problem we encountered is that the menu prices for this restaurant on OpenTable were about 30% lower than the actual prices in the restaurant. I hope the restaurant or OpenTable will fix this.

We chose this restaurant based upon its reviews and star points. We were not disappointed. Very pleased with seafood linguini, pomodoro and risotto. We had two salads the beet and Caesar and we loved both. This will be a regular stop when I'm in the area.

Great service from start to finish...always makes for a nice dining experience. Food was tasty and arrived in good time, and prices are reasonable if not low, which is a very nice change from so many places that charge just to charge. Saltyard does a great job overall and can handle from 1 to a very large party.

For a bday celebration. Food was pricey with small portions and was decent. Atmosphere was nice. Sat outside with heaters. Waitstaff was decent but nothing special.

I will not be back. Had eaten next door awhile ago and wondered about this place. The lamb taco appetizer was excellent. Asked for the crab cakes as a dinner plate portion. Ironically our server didn't understand and brought the appetizer portion. It was a huge amount of salad and the tiny , overcooked almost to burned exterior were, in a word, awful. I rarely post negative reviews anywhere. Hate to cause problems for small businesses, but I tried to like you...

First visit today, Easter Sunday, was great. There were a couple of missteps that were immediately addressed. The mix for the Diet Coke we ordered was off (too much carbonated water to syrup). We told our server before she brought out the refill, but when the refill came, the color was still lighter than the iced tea we ordered. She said the bartender said the mix was OK and we told her to tell him to taste it. She came back with a perfectly mixed glass. There was a mix up with one of our dishes and an order of lamb tacos was served instead of the lamb shank. They put in a rush order and a perfectly, delicious, tender shank appeared less than 10min later. The calamari appetizer was good and the mushroom ravioli was delicious as well. Looking forward to coming back to try more menu items.

Did not live up to the hype. Food was just mediocre. There were 8 people at the table, no one said their food was delicious. The short ribs were dry, the fried artichoke was a plate of leaves swimming in oil. The carpaccio was overly lemony and not served with bread in the typical fashion. 2 people in the group had gnocchi and a pasta with tomato sauce, both were disappointed considering the price. I would not return

Food was good. Salmon was a little burnt but the rest was good. Second time the staff did not read the reservation note.

We are a group of 8 and we love appetizers and cocktails. We had 2 of every appetizer and it was a delicious buffet. I highly recommend the lamb tacos and the mushroom bruschetta. With so many options here we were way too full for entrees, maybe next time. Service great, cocktails a little on the weak side but tasty. Pretty loud but overall, great night.

I bring my Board group for dinner here every few months after our Board meeting. We are always taken great care of and the food never disappoints.

Liked the ambiance of this place, but their tables are very close together. We had party of three. I asked a server for a Bloody Mary and was told their enormous bar didn't have any BM Mix, nor Tomato Juice. What??? One diner had a Chicken Dish, the other, a Beet Salad and a Rigatoni Pasta Dish. Both reported these were certainly OK. I ordered the Carpaccio which arrived with a giant mound Shredded Salad Greens on top, hiding the meat. The meat looked nothing like any Carpaccio I have ever had. I actually looked like while Deli Sliced Meat. It had dressing all over the plate. Very disappointing! This restaurant has a very attractive bar, if you're into just cocktails and perhaps an appetizer. Would I personally return to this establishment? Sorry, no.

Treated my dear friend to a nice meal here. The flank steak is just juicy and tender with the flavorsome akin to Japanese flavor profiles. The crabcakes look ordinary but tasted yum! And fried to perfection. Seafood risotto was just meh, but like a lot of risotto dishes, it must be eaten straightaway, we got carried away by the flank steak!

I love SY so much! The staff are amazing , the food is spectacular and the ambiance is gorgeous. I've been enjoying this amazing establishment for a few years by sharing this beautiful restaurant with family and friends. This last visit I had a reservation via Open Table and for some odd reason they had a hard time finding my name. Plus a couple arrived 15 minutes after our arrival and they made us wait while they seated them without looking for their reservation because they happen to know them. Yes, it was a sting to my heart :( My friend found our reservations by looking at their iPad. We were finally escorted to our table and afterwards the service got better. They made it up to us and we will continue to experience beautiful memories at SY.

There were multiple large groups the evening of our dinner. Impossible to hear our own conversation. Management seemed to have added extra tables where normally would be waiting area. We were surrounded by people waiting to be seated. Very uncomfortable and disappointing experience. Staff tried their best but the table should not have been booked.
