    Each time we’ve dined at Insalada’s it’s been the same: superb food with friendly spot on service. We often bring my sister whose health is quite fragile and their staff is always very attentive and kind. Thank you for continuing to hold such a high bar for all these years.

    We’ve been to Insalata’s many, many times. It is one of our favorite places for a great dinner and dining experience. Last night’s dinner was a disappointment, however. The service was impersonal and perfunctory. The soup appetizer while tasting ok was unappealing in appearance. The salad was fantastic (although in a cilantro happy restaurant I feel they should check with patrons as to whether they like cilantro or not!). The pasta entrees was a true disappointment—almost no flavor, an odd combination of ingredients that did not mesh. It would be nice if they had actual black tea as an iced tea option. Ah well, we will definitely try again!

    Food was very good with interesting and intriguing flavors. Our waiter (forgot his name, but an older gentleman who had been there for many years) was excellent, and provided his personal insights and preferred food item selections. On the down side, I found the wine list to be extremely expensive which was a reminder why I've rarely eaten there. I'd eat there regularly if their wine prices were reasonable ...
