Saly Gs is a fabulous dining spot for a casual evening in an elegant setting or for a special event with haute couture ambiance. The menu is decidedly Italian and the dishes are served beautifully plated and with chefs flair n flavor. Top scores all around. The service, though normally attentive, was off this evening and in fact mostly non existent, unpleasant and unaccomodating. Bar tenders are always pkesssnt and uber attentive.

The food was good. We had a party of 4. In all we had 5 meals. We wanted to have the homemade gnocchi to share as an appetizer, but they ended up not having it. We ended up sharing the lobster ravioli, which was good. For our entrees we had the seafood risotto, which was excellent, the cod special (which was good but very small piece of fish), chicken dish and the yellowfin tuna special (was just ok). Overall, we had a nice time and will go back if in the area
