“Went to Olive Garden to have a nice meal and instead had a roach run across the table while we were eating.. My coworkers and I brought it to their attention and they offered us another seat. Not very customer friendly and did not comp us for the meal. Will never visit this restaurant again!“

“I have gone here at least 4 times now within the last month and a half and can say that Salata is amazing! I am hooked. The amount of salad toppings to choose from does not leave much to be desired and has everything I need to have my perfect salad lunch. All of their ingredients have this quality to them that is tasted in every bite. I used to favor subw for its “healthy” attributes but this takes the cake for taste and abundance factor!

Here’s my problems:
I have gone here at least 4 times and 2 of these visits I did in fact find similar hair in my food. My friend also went another day and found the same thing. I don’t really know what that’s about but that’s not really a topping you’d expect to find on your salad.

The salad can come out to be a bit pricey, but it does “even” out with their rewards program. However, this rewards program has a very sorry user interface that makes it hard to know how many points I have and what they can do for me. I think this is more of a corporate issue than a location issue however!

There are 2 other salad bars on the same street just a few minutes down from this location. I have not tried them but do plan on it!

Things I appreciate:
The staff is somewhat bilingual, and despite communication sometimes being iffy they always make the process feel fast, fun, and streamlined.

Their food quality is chefs kiss (except for those hairy parts I mentioned earlier)

The reward program, while a bit hard to understand due to the lackluster user interface, is solid and really does make me want to come back just to use some of my points to pay off my next salad!!

Edit: customer service were very quick to reach out to me and make up for my issues ! Amazing business!

Kid-friendliness: I did see kids running around barefoot of this establishment. There really isn’t anyone every in here when I go except for the one here and one there. If planning to bring a loud family don’t expect to not feel like a sore thumb, do expect, however, the staff to treat you swimmingly!“

The salad and soup were delicious and the price was great, unlike all other goods and services which have jumped exponentially in costs. I recommend you give them a try. Soon!“

“I ate here for the first time yesterday and the food was amazing. They were really busy and the 2 workers were friendly and phenomenal. I felt so bad for how the WAITR app delivery drivers were to them in the hour I was there. Both drivers unfairly treated the workers with their words and behavior. Everything was beyond their control. The workers continued to smile and be professional through it all!“

“Had our Christmas Luncheon here for work. It was AMAZING food! Our doctor's treated us to a huge lunch with an astonishing view! The food was truly delicious. We chose from a 2 option lunch menu ( Blackened Catfish over green beans), appetizer (Seafood Gumbo) , and choice of dessert ( Carrot Cake. All so very yummy! Their waiter's are impressively attentive and well versed on the menu's. In all honesty, they were very personable and catered to every possible need even before we thought of it!“

The food is great, the service is as quick and efficient and atmosphere there is super friendly. I would recommend getting pizza from here. Also the gelato is back and great.

“Attended a wedding here this evening. Handicap parking right at the entrance. Wedding and reception on the 2 ND floor. Restrooms were clean. Sound system was clear. Food served was excellent. Shrimp in pasta, red potatoes, and green beans with sausage. DJ was an old friend I hadn't seen in years. Staff was efficient and friendly. They converted the wedding area to a reception area in 20 minutes. A well oiled machine. Great time for all.“
