    We had such a great experience at Salina in Porter Ranch! The food was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious from start to finish. Every dish tasted high quality and well prepared. The Old Fashioned was also really good, and the tiramisu was absolutely divine! What really made the night special, though, was the service. Our server, Elia, was outstanding! He was kind, professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. You can tell he truly values his customers and takes pride in making sure everyone has a great experience. We'll definitely be coming back and will be recommending Salina to all of our family and friends. Highly recommend!

    Salina opened on April 1. Our Friday date night had an Italian and Mediterranean affair. The food we ordered, did not disappoint. We sat at the bar to eat our meal given that it was a two hour wait. I encourage the team to continue to let this happen organically. The bar service was on point and folks we spoke to at the bar, were happy with their choices and we were too. If you're not careful, it can be an expensive meal with drinks, appetizers, main course, and dessert. Everything was soooooo good and I recommend that the kitchen have "runners" or create a team environment so "hands" are ready to deliver orders so pasta and other items don't come out lukewarm. I will go here again and again. That's just how good the food is and it's right next to one of my other favorites, Lure. Salina is good and I highly recommend reservations! #foodie #chefs #restauranteur #chefskiss

    Overly salted Calamari
    Tiffany W.

    Hubby and I did a walk in. There was a long wait for the table, but managed to get seats at the bar. Bartenders were friendly. Pros: -Caprese salad - so light and refreshing. Lovely dish. - Pork chop - requested for easy salt. By far one of the best pork chops we've had. So tender and it complemented with the salsa. Great quality! -Prime Rib - can easily be shared with 2 pple. Very tender. Perfectly cooked. -Mashed potato - so smooth and buttery. -Fries - very crispy and lightly salted. Cons: -Broccolini- I love my veggies, but I didn't enjoy this side dish one bit. It was overly salty!! Not a fan! I really suggest to cut down the salt. -Calamari - great spice and crunch, but again it was overly salty. Please cut down the salt. Besides the salt issue, the overall meal was pleasant. We'll definitely be back to try the pasta.

    It's a cute spot and definitely something different from what we have in Porter Ranch. The staff really stood out and everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which I genuinely appreciated. That said, the food was just okay and nothing particularly memorable. I've definitely had better. The cocktails also need some work, I tried two different ones and was disappointed with both. The only standout for me was the Caesar salad, which I actually really enjoyed.

    If you haven't been to Salina in Porter Ranch yet...Gooooo!!! This is hands down the newest hot spot in town, and I'm already planning my next visit maybe even tomorrow :). I stopped by tonight 4.2.26 (their second day open!) and was completely blown away. I was short on time, but even a quick visit turned into such a memorable experience. We were seated on the patio, which is nicely covered with heaters which is perfect for those chilly, windy evenings. I highly recommend bringing a jacket just in case. Inside, the restaurant is spacious with super comfortable seating and plenty of room for larger groups. I can already see this place becoming the go-to for birthdays, girls' nights, family dinners and fun celebrations. The bar is absolutely stunning!!! While seating is at the bar is a bit limited, it's beautifully designed with cozy booths along the side. Huge shot out to Christopher and Dominic the bartenders. They were incredible!!! Sooo friendly, great energy, and they made one of the best lemon drops I've ever had. They have a variety of menu items, veg and non veg. Pastas, pizza, branzino, hummus, meatballs, bruschetta, sirloin steak. Sooooo much. I wish I could have tried more...But let's talk about the food that we ordered tonight...I ordered the vodka pasta and the spaghetti and meatballs. The vodka pasta was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly, not too al dente, just right. It even had a slight crispiness from breadcrumbs, which I loved. If you're a burrata fan, I highly recommend adding it, it melts beautifully into the pasta and takes it to another level. However, a side of burrata is a little on the pricier side $12 for one. The spaghetti and meatballs were solid. But the real STAR of the night.... The affogato!!!! The soft serve was unbelievably creamy, honestly one of the best I've ever had. Paired with espresso, it was pure heaven! I am already craving it again. But let's talk..Service... Impeccable. I know they just opened, but the attention to detail was impressive. Our server, Gaby, was an absolute Gem she was so warm, personable, and attentive. Jazell and the rest of the staff were constantly checking in and keeping everything flowing seamlessly. In addition, the General Manager even came to our table to check in on us which was so nice. I also heard they plan to keep the bar open after hours once the restaurant closes, which is such a fun bonus. Overall, we had aaaahhhmazing experience from start to finish. I already know this place is going to be the spot everyone's talking about. Can't wait to come back and bring all my friends. I already know after my review the whole Porter Ranch crew will be stopping by. Lol YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! Tell the staff I sent you :) You are welcome! So happy this place opened up, we needed a nice restaurant in this area and this hit the mark. Looking forward to trying their other dishes especially the appetizers.

    I had been waiting for this place to open in The Vineyards of Porter Ranch and it is officially open and taking reservations. I went with a group of friends and we ordered a wide variety of dishes. If you're looking for fresh Italian cuisine, this spot is definitely worth checking out. For starters: *Truffle Fries-24mo parmesan, truffle aioli *Hummus-with artichoke hearts, served with pizza bianca *Hokkaido Scallops-served raw with capers and wasabi vinaigrette *Arugula Salad-tossed with lemon vinaigrette and midnight moon cheese *Castelvtrano Olives- 24mo parmesan For mains: *Aglio E Oli-garlic, chili, parsley, with spaghettini . *Arugula Salad-tossed with lemon vinaigrette and midnight moon cheese *Margherita Pizza-tomato, garlic, 24mo parmesan, bufalo mozzarella, basil *Funghi Pizza-truffle cream, cremini, 24mo parmesan For dessert: *Tiramisu-topped with salted coffee caramel and chocolate crisps *Panna Cotta-with amaretto caramel and vanilla mascarpone cream Overall, a really strong first impression. I will definitely be coming back and want to try more of their pasta. Parking is also super easy since it's located in a large shopping center with plenty of free parking.

    Calamari
    Brenda D.

    This place was good. I really enjoys the appetizers. We had Brussels sprouts, bruschetta, calamari, meat balls and shrimp cocktail. All of those are must haves. Cesar salad, was amazing!!! That was probably my favorite thing of the night. I was sooo excited for my entree since all the appetizer were AMAZING. I was underwhelmed with the entrees. I had bolognese and it lack the flavors all the other dishes had. It just missed the mark for me. Our waitress was nice and attentive but our drinks took quite long to come out. Good came out decently timed. This is definitely a nice place for brunch or dinner. They have an outside patio for a nice night out. This place is good for larger parties. Reservations encouraged.

    Mushroom pizza
    Christina A.

    We have been waiting for this place to open. We sat at the outdoor patio since we love to bring our dog. It's a nice covered patio. We had the mushroom pizza, Cesar salad, bolognese pasta and the soft serve swirl. Everything was delicious!!! Although this place just opened, service was great as well. Everyone is so friendly. There isn't a happy hour yet but definitely can't wait for happy hour as the bar area is really pretty! So glad this place opened in the Porter Ranch area, a very nice addition!

    I made a reservation for 7:30pm. When I showed up at 7:10pm, the hostess said to wait til the exact time of the reservation... there were plenty of open tables but ok sure. Not even a minute later (lol) she took us to a table tucked in the back corner of the restaurant that feels so different from the point of entry. Much louder. Cramped. Next to the double doors to the kitchen and the cash register. Food took a long time to come out. The waitress had to reassure us 3 times that it'll be out soon (she was nice, I liked her). The pizza was not pre-cut, they give you a pair of scissors to cut it yourself. Interesting... never seen that before. It's about a medium domino's pizza size. We also had the Caesar salad, also not pre-cut but it was pretty good flavor/texture-wise. Skip the bolognese pasta. I enjoyed the vodka pasta out of everything we got. Lastly, this place doesn't do a cork fee. Instead, they charge you $14 per glass if you BYOB. Very interesting.......

    Calamari and Caesar salad
    Miriam S.

    Made a reservation for two on a Saturday afternoon and were seated outside which was a lovely, peaceful setting. We started with the scallops, calamari, and Caesar salad. The scallops and Caesar were both outstanding, though the calamari wasn't quite to my taste. The spicy vodka pasta was an absolute 10/10 truly delicious. We also ordered a bottle of wine; they keep it chilled at their server station, so just ask when you'd like a top off. Our server was attentive and made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    I've been wanting to try this place since it opened. This place did not disappoint! Everything we ate was absolutely incredible. I have to give a shoutout to the manager. What a guy! So attentive and made my family feel so taken care of. My parents always have something to complain about when it comes to food but the only thing they complained about was running out of the delicious calamari. They loved everything and it made this experience so great. The prime rib was also another show stopper. It was extremely tender and the manager let us know that they start roasting it Friday night that's why it was melting in our mouths. Everything else we ate was so worth it. We're so lucky to have this place in our neighborhood and we will definitely be coming back! Hoping this place receives a Michelin star. It really deserves it. Thank you for the amazing meal!

    Salina, is the recent highly anticipated Italian Mediterranean restaurant, to enter the amazing and still burgeoning dining destination, at the Porter Ranch Vineyards. It is the newest concept addition to the No. 8 group, spearheaded by the restarateur and hospitality team, of Cyrus Batchan and Sarah Lam. Their current portfolio is limited to only five eateries. In Vietnam (two) and the U.S. (three). Most notably, their celebrated one star Michelin restaurant, Camphor, on E 3rd, in Los Angeles. When Salina opened, it was disappointing that even before and after launch, there was no functional website. Therefore, no depiction of a menu or even hours of operation. After much digital digging, I located an internet menu on a third party website or two, that lacked photographic clarity. So was still not sure, what is on the menu. At the onset, the offerings at Salina seemed a "run of the mill" spread, with a small menu and a selection of items you could find anywhere else. And almost next door. I am always looking for something different. I chose the meat balls and the mashed potatoes (actually a puree). The former came out attractive, the latter (with a garlic confit) so very tasty. Yet, both items came to my table less than luke warm. After a few bites, that was a problem. The server was standing next to me. I requested more heating of both dishes. She refused and stated that she had to ask the manager. Really? When the manager got to me he also said he could not reheat, "what comes out from the kitchen, cannot go back". Really? I was persistent. Stating that in numerous restaurants, this has never been an issue. Not only to reheat, even recook or at that matter, substitute. My visit here was a revelation. A rebuke I have never experienced before. So what is the verdict? Nothing different. No uniqueness. A lack of creativity. No awesome dish. Not attractive. Unimpressive. And horrible customer service.

    Porkchop
    Cindy A.

    When you walk into Salina it has an intimate yet family restaurant feeling. The bar area is a bit small bit big enough where you can sit and eat a meal. When you walk in, the hosts open up the door for you and greeted with a warm smile. The staff is all super friendly and warm. They make sure that you are taken care of. The food is so delicious and you can taste the quality of the food. I have absolutely no complaints about the food. The food did take a little longer so they gave us an olive dish. The olives were so smokey and delicious. I would say they make delicious pizzas and pastas. The porkchop and branzino was also very delicious. The general manager whose name is think is Les greets all his customers and makes sure they are well taken care of.

The manager (I believe) also checked on us a couple times throughout our dinner and service overall was 5/5. We were seated outside on the patio area and thankfully, there were heaters, as it got chillier than I anticipated at night! We ordered the side wedge, the buffalo wings, the smashburger and a side of truffle fries. The food was fantastic and came out VERY quickly (maybe like 5 minutes)! The side wedge is a perfect starter size and the smashburger was tasty and filling. I didn't love the cherry peppers on the smashburger but that's on me for not asking them to be removed. It was still good overall, just a little spicy. The wings were decent (7/10). The truffle fries were perfectly crispy with a good truffle flavor. The bill was about $40 for two of us (with no beverages). I would definitely come back (eager to try their happy hour).

There is music in the background and a TV on the wall featuring surfing videos. Service: You order at the counter, they ring you up and you get the food brought out. You can see the kitchen as it's open. It was my first time and it was a simple and easy experience. Everything came out in a timely fashion. Food: Some of their specialities include the 20+variations of fried empanadas (meats, chicken, pork, veggie, dessert) that come in both savory and sweet types, as well as their speciality plates such as their Korean-style flat iron steak skewers and chicken satay. The sauces they serve with their empanadas are incredible and some of the best I've ever had such as their chimmi-churri, basil-aioli and sweet & sour Thai. I recently did the lunch combo featuring a choice of a 1/2 salad or 1/2 fries, choice of any two empanadas and a canned drink. I chose beef and Kailua pig empanadas; both were great, empanadas didn't break apart and were crispy, everything was seasoned well; the filling of the beef was a bit more than the Kailua pig however.
