Our waitress was responsive to whatever we needed. The prices are a little high for the portion size, but the food is great quality. My vinho verde was a nice size pour. My husband loved the Iberian ham here. We both had the garlic shrimp which were very well flavored but unfortunately didn't have even one garlic clove, which was disappointing and there were only 6 shrimp. The olive oil they were in was great though and we dipped our food into it and they were perfectly cooked. The paella is supposed to be for 2-4 people which I can see if you have more tapas but we finished it off. It came with a healthy amount of shrimp, grilled calamari and chorizo and was perfectly seasoned. We also appreciated how the rice was a bit crispy and not mushy. The table next to ours ordered what appeared to be a very good looking fruit cobbler of some kind but we were too stuffed for dessert. They also have a weekday happy hour before 6pm that looks good with deals on booze. Really enjoyed this spot! Conveniently located in the middle of garden city with ample free parking.

The restaurant is tapas style so a lot of small plates. I thought the presentation of the food was very well done. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended great dishes. We ordered shrimp, steak on the bone, bone marrow, potatoes, polenta, broccolini, shishieto peppers, and paella for dinner to share. We all enjoyed our food. For desserts we got the lemon and blueberry pudding, was delicious. I loved the bread pudding. My grandfather enjoyed his Nutella chocolate.

Service was attentive and our waitress helped us with suggestions before placing our orders. We enjoyed our booth seat and the open kitchen in the main dining area. I will be back for another visit!

The past year both my family and I have spent at least $2,000 to get consistently tasty meals (arancini always hits the spot), but slow slow service, over and over again. You need more people. Whether it be bussers, wait staff, kitchen staff, I don't know and frankly it's not my job to.... when I see our waiters running around and drinks are empty, orders taking eons and items being forgotten that tells me there's more going on than whatever is happening at my table. Yes, I last came on mother's day weekend, but the previous visits were not during super busy times and I experienced the same issues. You need more help. That's all.

I was so surprised. The flavors were amazing, great portion and they came out in a nice timely fashion. If I could eat that sandwich everyday I would . The ramen was pretty good but it wasn't the star of the show. The surprise star was the green tea crème brûlée. Top 3 desserts I've had for the year honestly. Ambiance was very nice!

This was my second visit to Salumi, and somehow they managed to impress me even more this time…read morearound. I came back specifically to try their special Oktoberfest menu, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. One of the things I love most about Salumi is how knowledgeable the staff is. They really understand the menu, the drinks, and the pairings, and if you're willing to take their recommendations, they can completely elevate your experience. We started with their signature Old Fashioned made with Noah's Mill bourbon. They actually tested multiple bourbons to find the one they felt worked best in their recipe, and you can tell. It was extremely well balanced. The dry-rubbed chicken wings were fantastic and are fried in beef tallow, which I absolutely loved. They're served with an Alabama white sauce instead of the typical ranch or blue cheese, and I thought that was such a creative and delicious pairing. The figs and burrata were another standout. The creamy burrata, sweetness from the figs and pomegranate molasses, and little bit of heat from the jalapeño worked beautifully together. The spätzle was rich, creamy and comforting with Gruyère, caramelized onions and crispy onions on top. Definitely don't go into it expecting American-style mac and cheese because it's its own thing entirely. The bratwurst tasted nothing like anything you're buying at a supermarket, and the latkes were perfectly crispy. Their homemade applesauce was honestly one of my favorite parts of that plate -- I could have eaten an entire bowl of it. But the absolute star of the night was the Jägerschnitzel. This is a crispy bone-in pork chop with mushroom cream sauce and roasted cremini mushrooms. The pork is soaked in buttermilk before cooking, and it was incredibly moist and tender with a perfect crispy breading. Easily one of the best pork chops I've had in a very long time. We finished with the Black Forest Mess -- whipped mascarpone, brownie and Amarena cherries -- along with an excellent espresso martini. They grind fresh Georgios Coffee beans and pull a fresh shot of espresso for every martini, and if you actually love the taste of coffee, you'll appreciate this one. Salumi continues to be one of those restaurants where the staff truly helps make the experience. Don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for recommendations. They know their menu extremely well. If the Jägerschnitzel is still available when you visit, GET IT.

It's clean, spacious, and was surprisingly busy for a Monday early night. We also found out they have great specials, including $1 wings. The spicy margarita was a hit amongst the group. The drinks were good, and my favorites were the Brussels sprouts and calamari. The rest of the group loved the wings, and the salad, and burger was also really good. We ordered a variety of small plates and desserts to share, and everything was enjoyable. We will definitely be back and would recommend it. Metered street parking is available outside.

Our server, Gerardo,…read morewas friendly but however- no checking on us after we got our food since he was busy with other tables and never apologized for "his mistake" putting in the wrong taco type (6 baja fish instead of 6 pork belly that I ordered- second round) & made it seem like it was my fault because he couldn't find my order slip in the trash. Anyway, for the tacos: we got the mojo pork carnitas, pork belly, sesame ribeye, roasted duck, crispy shrimp & baja fish. We also got the duck birria quesadilla, plantains, korean bbq ribeye rice bowl & ahi tuna crispy rice bowl, a side of esquites (street corn off cob) & the seasonal fruit (honeydew) with tajin. All the food came out together so it took a long while. They were obviously short staffed. The pork belly & pork carnitas tacos were our faves- both were flavorful & the pork belly skin was crispy. The shrimp & fish tacos were perfectly fried. The ribeye & roasted duck taco meat were dry. The duck birria quesadilla was really good even tho the broth was a little bland. Corn was spicy yet tasty, we enjoyed the sweet fried plantains too. The rice bowls were disappointing- way too much sauce in the ahi tuna bowl, which made everything very salty & the crispy rice became soggy, and the Korean bbq ribeye was dry & tough- it's basically just a bibimbap. I don't recommend getting rice bowls at a taco place lol. The worst thing was the seasonal fruit with tajin that my daughter ordered. The honeydew was not riped nor sweet but rather flavorless & tasted sour with the tajin & lime juice- disgusting :x

We asked about happy hour since Instagram said they had it, but turns out it's not a thing anymore. They owned the miscommunication and took care of us, offering $8 wine, discounts on a couple appetizers, and even a complimentary extra glass of wine to make it up. We ordered a few things off the tapas menu. The popcorn chicken, the octopus, uni and foie gras, short ribs, and beef tacos. The short ribs leaned a bit dry, but everything else was on point. Standout by far was the uni and foie gras. A little pricey for 4 pieces but very delicious. Big shoutout to the 2 staff on site, very friendly, warm and responsive throughout. I would recommend Tavern 157 if you're in the area looking for something casual with good drinks and food and not in the mood for Korean food. Just double-check happy hour before you go, as they mentioned a new one may be coming. Overall, a really enjoyable first visit.
