J I have not tasted food this fresh in a very long time. Jonny was a great server. Props to people like him that make us feel welcomed. Please do yourself a solid and skip olive garden next door and save some money to bring your date here without skipping the beat on taste and atmosphere.

Jeannie Caccioppoli My second visit was much better than my first. So glad I came back. We sat indoors and our server Harley was outstanding. We ordered the Trio as an appetizer and the guac, queso and salsa were exceptional tasting. My favorite was the pork taco with cabbage, pineapple bits, and Thai sauce. I will definitely eat the pork in a bowl the next time we come.

Tiva Leser I loved the food options and mimosa flavor flights. We loved the pancake flights too. The chicken and waffles my daughter ordered were amazing. She loved it. I had the shrimp and grits. The shrimp was very nicely seasoned. My husband got a veggie scrambler. He enjoyed it too. The service was great. The waitstaff was very attentive. The ambiance was really nice and decor was on point.

James Leedy Pizza is out of this world. Andrew knocked it out of the park as well. Everyone was so accommodating from the second we walked in. Pizza is thin and lite. Super fresh ingredients. Andrew let us know there are 20 something of these restaurants around. Even internationally. I can see why. Thanks Mister 01 for the top shelf food and thanks Andrew for the impeccable service.

Rachel Stine The food was excellent! I had the Chicken, Bacon Ranch Piadina, with the asparagus. It was very good. The service was top tier. Rory was our server for the evening and did a fantastic service! I highly recommend having Rory as a server! This was a wonderful experience! Definitely will be returning!

javier caban The food was absolutely delicious, staff were great. I ordered the patty melt without fries or onion rings (I wasn’t that hungry). Beer very cold and price for all was very good. I live on the west side of FL and would definitely recommend and revisit. I already told my friends. We will be riding to visit the area and definitely eat there as well.

CFB Rob had a contagious smile and was an Awesome waiter. He gave great recommendations and was super kind, patient. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Food was wonderful and we’ll be back.

Erin D Ordered a burger with avocado and fried egg that has glazed balsamic dressing, with maduros ( sweet plantains) on the side. Food quality was excellent. I just wanted to give praise to the restraint staff and manager as everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy their job and seemed happy. Charlie S. Was knowledgeable and attentive without hovering and helped my husband navigate the menu. My husband had also thoroughly enjoyed his burger with guava BBQ sauce, cheese and potato straws with sweet potatoes on the side with savory seasonings. He got the plantain bread pudding that had whipped cream and caramel sauce. The coleslaw had its very own delicious unique flavor. The highlight of the whole place was the antique ship decor placed around the restaurant and photos of Hemingway himself. On the way out a staff member informed us that the candles on display were being sold by a local merchant and are refillable. This is now a new favorite restaurant.

Heriberto Hernandez This is truly a wonderful family restaurant. My wife and I went here Saturday evening for dinner. I ordered a light Polish beer and it was cold and delicious. For an appetizer we ordered the mozzarella with tomato slices topped with olive oil and fresh basil, it was fresh and delicious . My wife had the house salad and I ordered the dill pickle soup, that I very much enjoyed. For the main entree my wife ordered the chicken antykot and it was so delicious that we had no leftovers. I ordered the Polish sampler, that allows you to taste different offerings on one plate. I really enjoyed it. We have been here on numerous occasions and each time the food and service has been top notch. Thank you to Roxanne and Selena for the wonderful service provided. Salt and Sweet is a restaurant that we highly recommend.

Angie This restaurant is fantastic! The food is absolutely delicious—every bite was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The wait staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. I also loved the large, open layout and warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Highly recommend!

Jim W Went for dinner at about 4:30pm on a Saturday. Very light crowd, but picked up considerably over time. Noise level did rise correspondingly, not overwhelming, but definitely noticeable. Server was very attentive, and helpful with menu tips. Menu itself had quite a few options, despite being a single front / back page. Appreciated the section describing the various hot sauces. I ordered the Baja Tacos with Blackened shrimp (pictured). Good taste, and went well with the associated sauce. Good portion size, and the chips were nice. Also had had a side of plantains, which were nicely cooked and lightly seasoned. Good overall experience, no problems!

Sounder andrews Super nice riverfront location. Great views. Food is very upscale. The host and servers were fantastic. Started outside in the evening and there were a lot of mosquitos but got moved inside due to a table opening up. Inside is all updated and has a great atmosphere. Tasty drinks. Seafood chowder was very good. All the seafood was amazing. Ordered a steak which was cooked perfectly. This is a great romantic spot. Oysters were very fresh, highly recommend. Great experience and we will be back.

William DiOrio We just had a wonderful dinner @ Ciao. It was perfect. The restaurant was very busy, but the hostess got us seated in no time at all. Our waitress was pleasant and polite, and knew about everything on the menu. We Chose: Starters: Calamari, Caprese Salad, Garlic Bread, and the Olive Tray. Me: Veal Parmesan, with Pasta Fagiole on the side Wife: Linguini Vongole Wine: Bottle of House Cabernet We both loved every bite of everything on the table. We even ordered a Margherita Pizza to take home with us because the Pizzas on all of the tables around us looked so good! Great atmosphere, and just a really nice dinner. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you Ciao!!

Scott Laidlaw What an extremely pleasant surprise!!! We are staying October month in Vero and drove up to Melbourne for a flea market and an early dinner. We read about this restaurant online and thought we would give it a try; so very glad we did. What’s not to like?; Large patio areas along the water with lots or tables, palm trees, very attentive waiters/servers, great food served piping hot, and a great key lime pie dessert. Again, if you are in the Melbourne area, please eat at this restaurant; you will not be disappointed.

V W This place has many areas for private parties, group experiences, and celebrations. The first time here, we wandered to the upstairs seating for adults only (Yeahhh!). The view was beautiful and open area. Our waiter was amazing, prompt, followed up, and courteous with a great smile. The food presentation and taste, spot on. Its a definite place to come back to.
