The food and service were excellent. My only disappointment was that they tried to give us a table downstairs, when I reserved the main dining room. We ended up at a table with our back to the front aisle-heavy traffic area. I made this reservation on 11/16/24, so there was no excuse for this inconvenience. Because the overall dining experience was so good, I will definitely be back !

Good spot for brunch in New Brunswick - service was great: attentive but allowed us to sit and visit without chasing us out. Creative menu. Recommend the smoked salmon starter and the duck (which I got topped on the kale salad) was yummy.

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.
