First time there with 2 friends for lunch to celebrate his 60th birthday. Monday lunch is a steak day. It was delicious, and the flavor is just right. The service was fantastic. My ice tea keeps getting refilled. The waiter was very friendly. I you go get there at 11:30 am, very little traffic. After 12 pm, it gets very busy. I'm definitely coming back here. If you love wine, this is a place for you. Note, they have Monday - Friday lunch special.

We visited because of proximity to our work meeting. Well what luck! Place is amazing, food excellent and service friendly. Saved this on my maps, as I will visit again. We had the entrana for dinner, sausage and empanadas to start. All worth the trip!

We stopped by this family-owned Uruguayan restaurant and loved it! Great spot to get a steak if you don’t want to go to a steakhouse. Most excellent chimichurri. We had the gambas a la parilla (bacon wrapped shrimp), ensalada capri (caprese salad), entrana (skirt steak), and costillas de cordero (lamb chops).

Ventured outside my comfort zip code zone 😊 and I’m so glad I did! This restaurant was fantastic! Food was very flavorful and presented so clean…no frills just delicious meat, grilled veggies and oh my they’re roasted potatoes yummy 🤤. We went with a group of 7 and we all had something different and shared…Milanese was juicy, steaks were cooked to perfection, and pasta was tasty. Went on a Saturday and they had a gentleman singing and he was pretty good. Great ambiance.

First time visit this restaurant with a friend, it was a great experience, I had entrana ( traditional Uruguayan skirt steak) and it was really tasty, very juicy and tender ( also good portion), It comes with lentil soup which also delicious. Also, the service was great, the staff came by to refill drinks proactively and make sure everything is ok. Even though this restaurant is 40 minutes away from my place, I would absolutely want to go back again, highly recommended.

A Memorable Experience at Saldivia's South American Grill As a percussionist, I often find myself in unexpected places, but arriving at Saldivia's for a recent performance was truly a delightful surprise. Little did I know that I was about to drum at one of my absolute favorite spots for South American cuisine! The warm hospitality of the team at Saldivia's stood out immediately. From providing us, the artists, with a dedicated space for our belongings to ensuring we were well-fed with their delicious, flavorful dishes, every detail was handled with care and thoughtfulness. Their commitment to treating performers with such respect and generosity made the evening even more special. The ambiance, coupled with their incredible cuisine, reminded me why Saldivia's is such a gem in the city. Performing at a place I already love elevated the experience beyond words. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share rhythms and energy in a space that celebrates culture and community so vibrantly. If you haven’t visited Saldivia's yet, you’re missing out on an unforgettable culinary and cultural journey. Huge thanks to their team for making artists feel valued and welcomed—it truly makes all the difference. #Saldivias #SouthAmericanCuisine #GratefulArtist #CulturalConnection
