JasonJason: Absolutely fantastic calamari. I would say top 3 I've ever had, and that speaks volumes considering I am from RI. It's grilled and they use cornmeal instead of the usual batter.

Krystal B.Krystal Bobbe: Love this place! We had the sangria, brick chicken, oxtail bolognese, and banana purses for dessert. Everything was divine. Cool relaxed place with a nice variety of things on the menu.

KevKev: I got Salvation in the winter by grabbing the 9X7 deal! Ask your server about it and do it. Just do it.
