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.

The wait staff were really nice but the food kind of tasted all the same. There was no outstanding dish, but everything was just good. The dips were great, but the octopus was overcooked and had a really bitter flavour. We got the snapper for fish of the day and the stuffed eggplant, and both were overdone and lacked flavour. A bit of a shame because I had been looking forward to coming here for a while - but everything to do with the booking was great. Staff and ambiance were great.

We had a lovely dinner, with everything on the menu being exceptional, and the service fantastic. There was a little bit of a wait on cocktails but pretty much couldn’t fault this great space otherwise. The menu is well thought out with good variety of many Greek classics without being too overwhelming. The Hilopites, Kleftiko were real standouts. Some of the best Greek we’ve had outside of Greece.
