A lovely experience! My husband and I ate here tonight for the first time while celebrating our anniversary. Our server was Kaitlin W. and she did an amazing job! First we ordered the charcuterie board which was really good, I was just a little disappointed that there were no grapes or crackers, only apple slices and bread. However the cheeses on the board made me super happy! (cheddar, Gouda, Brie, and havarti) it also came with two delicious meats, olives, pickles, and this raspberry sauce that was sweet but also a little savory, different but very tasty! We also had philly steak egg rolls which were loaded with flavor and were not heavy or greasy which was a pleasant surprise. For our entrees, my husband ordered the loaded burger with onion rings. He said it was one of the best burgers he ever ate! I ordered the baked cod with parmesan risotto and a medley of zucchini, squash and carrots. The cod was fantastic! Perfectly baked, flaky and moist, and the glaze ontop had so much flavor. I loved every bite! The risotto and vegetables also seasoned nicely. We would definitely dine here again!
One of my favorite spots in the valley. A sort of hidden gem, right off the highway. The entrance can be hard to see, it could use better signage and fill the pot holes at the entrance. But other than that, I can't say enough good things about this place. The food is So Good, and they have a great menu. I also really like the cocktail menu, and the bartenders know how to make great drinks. I had a great cornbeef and cabbage Dinner there last night as a March special. I usually love ordering their short ribs or the beet ravioli. But they also have a wonderful harvest salad. Our waiter was the best too, and the atmosphere was quaint and cozy. They also have a nice outdoor area for eating with a view. I have been coming here for years now, and I often bring people here, and we always love it. I will definitely be coming back in the near future.
Vegetarian options: I absolutely love the goat cheese and beet ravioli. And I'm not even a vegetarian.
Ive been to slainte many times, this is my first time reviewing. Ordered their dry rub wings and shrimp/steak pasta. The wings needed salt but the star of the show in that pasta wasn't the shrimp, or the steak or the pasta. It was the sun dried tomatoes! They infused the dish with such a wonderful depth that I had the waiter inquire to the chef where they hailed from... and they are from Turkey. The waiter seemed surprised that anyone would ask such a thing. Overall great meal! Would definitely visit again
Excellent food, great service and wait staff, Kate is our favorite waitress, patio is very nice. Overall a very relaxing environment. Appetizers are 5/5. Entrees are 4/5. Burgers, sandwiches and other entrees are all very juicy, yet crunchy and full of flavor. Definitely has a gourmet feel. Fries and onion rings are hand cut/battered. Prices are very reasonable. Apple crisp with ice cream was AMAZING 5/5.I definitely recommend.
Great dinner tonight. Had the Guinness short ribs. Very good. Irish cupcake was delicious too. Friendly server and staff. Great place.
Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp up to the door.
Had a get together with the family and we're looking for somewhere different to go, my daughter found this place. It was delicious! So many different choices I didn't know what to get! Kudos to the " female chef" who did an amazing job! we are all definitely going to go back!!!!
Came today with a party of seven. All of the food was super fresh and absolutely delicious! The French fries and Brussel sprouts are to die for. Amazing food and our server Katie was so attentive and helpful. Will definitely take the 40 minute trip back and soon!
Kid-friendliness: Several kids options
Parking: Big parking lot
Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Slainte and I have to say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The atmosphere was friendly, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive. But the real standout was the food - I had a wonderfully prepared steak that was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious.
Top notch food.I didn't take any pictures of it because I finished it too quickly.I got the meatloaf, and it was SOOOO good.The service was quick and friendly.The atmosphere is a little stale. A little bit like a country club golf place, but chill.Food though... A+
The fried brussel sprouts were amazing! But everything was Overpriced especially since I got the PBLT and it was mostly bread with just a little pork belly in the middle. The drink i had was delicious though. And great service. Apparently theres a drag brunch and I'd love to go to that but its Tuesday afternoons...wish they had one for the weekend! Overall good experience though.

Was a very disappointing experience. Drinks were good but service was god awful. Our food came out cold and a mess. & although the drinks were good they took 20 minutes to receive. This is how they slapped together my salmon. Salmon was undercooked, rice was disgusting. After explaining how bad it was management could careless. What a terrible experience, I will not be back.
Great food! Awesome selection of different dishes, with friendly, helpful, and fast service! Overall a very nice place for a casual dinner, but fancy enough for a little more dressy night out! Although the patio I don't believe was open at that time, it appeared to be a very nice large outdoor seating area!
I wrote a glowing review of Slainte 8 years ago, and I feel obligated to update my experience. My wife and I stopped in for dinner on Saturday evening, seated on the outdoor patio. We were told to take the table of our choice. When we sat down at the first table, we noticed that it was broken, with the top of the plastic table permanently detached from its base. Somebody sitting at that table will end up with either food or drinks in their lap. We proceeded to move to another table but were told that was reserved for a larger party than two, and the attendant seemed like she could have cared less when I pointed out the broken table. We sat at yet another table and were brought water and menus, then waited and waited and waited. We heard specials announced to guests at another table who had arrived after us. We were prepared to order a bottle of wine and our meals, but were ignored. The waitress brought drinks and took the orders of guests at other tables, again including people who arrived after us. After 20 minutes of our time being wasted, we got up and left. This is a far cry from the restaurant that we frequented and admired 8 years ago, when there were friendly, courteous servers and valet parking. Follow our lead, and save your time and money by dining elsewhere. There are too many choices to tolerate being ignored.
Delicious food and drinks. Quaint environment and extremely hard working staff.
Bada bolognase... A handful of burned steak tips and a half cup of linguini in a pretty good sauce. Really disappointing. Grossly understaffed, servers were running their hearts out trying to keep up. No bartender for two bars, waitstaff handles that as well. Won't be back.
