    Were travelling to Greece soon and particularly the islands in the Aegean. The meal was varied, interesting and focused on the food of the islands. Various local drinks were included in the menu for us to try along with an extensive selection of wines to purchase. This was a special event for the food and wine festival.

    Excellent service by our waitress-she went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Food was amazing. It was slightly loud but that was due to a table next to us and not the fault of the restaurant. Overall - amazing.

    If you want authentic, fresh and inventive Greek cuisine Salona is simply outstanding. Whether it is fish, meat or vegetables, the food is delicious. There is a very impressive wine list and it essentially that you begin with an expertly made cocktail. Finally, the service is first rate - friendly and attentive.
