Celebration of a birthday party of 6 first timers, our hostess was very informative and explained and recommended many dishes and wines. Overall experience was amazing! Food was fresh made from scratch and hot. Everything full of flavor! Will definitely go back again. Average price per person is 50-100$ that’s meal and drinks

Everyone enjoyed their meals. Good food complemented by good wine. I was left somewhat disappointed because the appetizer and main dish I wanted were not available.

This place is not what it used to be. This used to be our favorite restaurant to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, but yesterday was our last time. Food, service, cleanliness, and more were lacking. Very disappointing. I was always excited to go back.

Excellent food and service from Javi. We were fortunate to visit both Salt and House Wine during our McAllen trip and both were equally amazing!

Overall the restaurant was great. We went during the week and there wasn’t any wait time. Our waiter was great at explaining the menu since it was our first time there. The food was top quality even tasted great as left overs. The ambience was quiet and perfect for our date. Would definitely visit again to try other items on their menu and recommend to friends.
