No restaurant is perfect. However, I have only ever had 5 star service and food at Saluda's. Tonight, our server Nancy did an amazing job. This is a must experience in Columbia, in my opinion. The value for your money is frankly hard to believe. Don't hesitate.

The Retreat never fails to provide a first rate meal and experience. Last night we had a great cauliflower soup, burger, and Nashville chicken. Each dish was excellent. Can't recommend the Retreat any more highly. You will see the difference between a cook and a chef. Not that the food is overly fancy or exotic, it's just perfectly prepared and delicious. Check it out.
