My recent visit to Saltgrass Steak House was absolutely fantastic! The food was delicious, and the entire dining experience was top-notch. Our waiter, Daisy, went above and beyond—she was incredibly friendly, highly efficient, and truly professional. Her attentive service made the evening even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning for another great meal. Highly recommend!
