Azalea Bistro - SALUDA

I can't believe this restaurant isn't rated 4.9 or higher! The food and service were excellent. It's truly a hidden gem and I wish we had it in Travelers Rest. The service, meal type, and atmosphere were all top-notch. The price per person was $20-30. Overall, I would give it a 5 out of 5 in all categories.

Our waiter, Alex, was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. He also makes a tasty old fashioned cocktail! The restaurant can cater to shellfish allergies. The service during dinner was top-notch with a price range of $100+ per person. The food, service, and atmosphere all scored a perfect 5. Highly recommend trying the Wagyu Filet and Charcuterie Board.

The restaurant in Saluda may be a bit pricey, but it offers delicious food, friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere. It's a great spot for a fancy night out. The average cost per person for lunch is between $30 and $50. Food is rated a 4, service a 3, and atmosphere a 4.

While the restaurant may come off as pretentious and expensive, the food is actually quite good and the service is top-notch. The comfortable chairs add to the overall dining experience. Despite these positives, diners should be cautious of dishes being served on flat slabs of slate. While it may look cute, traditional plates are designed with turned up edges to prevent spills onto the tablecloth or lap. This is a well-known fact even among the French.

If you are ever in or near Saluda, you must visit this restaurant. The black garlic parmesan gougeres were the highlight for me! They were absolutely delicious. I tried the 6-course tasting menu and it was definitely worth it. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The decor was beautiful, classy, and tasteful.
