Stumbled upon this place, relaxed with indoor/outdoor seating. Tried several items off the menu. Everything was delicious, as well as the cocktails. Would recommend.

I don't drink so I wasn't expecting much. BOY WAS I WRONG. Slammed back 4 korean bbq tacos. They officially made it into my top 5 tacos list. Will definitely stop by when I vacation there again.

Saluda just keeps getting better and better and this great little restaurant is another reason to come here! -Nicely remodeled with plenty of outdoor but warm seating, even in January...can't wait till spring and summer to roll up the awnings and enjoy the breeze and the views.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian taco with sweet potatoes & beans, de-lish! Fish Taco too, and cucumber jalapeño margarita was yummy!

The food, service and atmosphere at this restaurant are excellent. We enjoyed lunch so much that we went back for dinner and tried something new.The ingredients were fresh and portion sizes just right. The staff was very accommodating and attentive. I can’t wait for the next time I visit Saluda because I will definitely eat here again.

Knowing that The S.P.O.T. is part of The Purple Onion restaurant group, we were excited to try their food.

GET TACOS! Skip the Bowls and Burritos.

We ordered the Trio of Dips. The salsa was good. The guacamole completely lacked flavor. where was the garlic, onion, cilantro and lime. The queso tasted like it came out of a can. And the chips looked like the round Tostito chips but tasted far worse.

The Lamb Burrito and the Cali Chicken Bowl. Both were flavorless, dry, unappealing and 95% rice. I also ordered the Korean BBQ Taco - gochujang braised beef, sesame slaw, radish, scallion. It was amazing. And it's the only reason for the second star in this review.

THE MAIN PROBLEM
In the burrito there was a very thin layer of lamb. I could not tell if it was ground or sliced lamb as there was so little of it. Actually I could not tell if it was even lamb at all. The chimichurri crema, romaine, pickled cucumber, feta, and tomato were barely dotted in the rice. I think I found one piece of tomato and no chimichurri crema. The lamb should have been the main event. The veggies, cheese and sauce should be second and the rice just enough to hold it together. What I got was a cooked rice burrito.

The Cali Chicken Bowl again was primarily rice. Chicken was good but the combination of what is supposed serve as support to the chicken completely lacked flavor.

I so wish I had the forethought to take pictures but we were hungry and so disappointed that we ate in silence and despair.
