About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining

Welcome to Salomé, an experience that defines our culture and heritage through past, present and future culinary traditions. Our concept is built on the idea of preserving traditional flavors, techniques, and meticulously presenting dishes with a modern hand. We are challenging our culinary teams to redefine Mexican Cuisine as our region knows it, while keeping an eye on sustainability and sourcing from responsible growers, ranchers and farmers.
Our bar has the largest and most eclectic array of Agave Spirits our region has seen in recent years. Our cocktails are hand crafted and feature fresh squeezed juices from our valley’s finest citrus and produce. Our wine list celebrates Mexican and Mexican–American wine makers that are making their impression on the wine world by expressing their talent and that of generations of viticulturists that shaped the landscape of California, Baja and beyond.
We invite you to be transported and experience the nostalgic flavors of México.

My husband and I stopped by to celebrate our anniversary. The ambience and aesthetics of the place is lovely. Service was timely and on point. Food was on the saltier side for me, which I’m not used to but does give every dish a bold flavor. If that’s your palette, then you’ll love the food. Other than that, presentation and quality of the food was great. My favorite was the dessert called Popocatépatl. It is more on the adventurous side but I loved every flavor and texture that was part of the dish. Glad we got to try Salomé!

First time there. Went for my wife's birthday dinner. Normally always go to House of Wine, but wanted to try another place. Didn't disappoint. We will definitely be returning if every experience is like what we experienced last night. Polite staff. Food was amazing! Nice atmosphere! We'll be trying Salt next after another visit to Salome!

food and service are great. It would be nice to improve the interior decoration a little more. We took a family picture but background is just plain wall.

We very much enjoyed our dining experience at Salome. The margaritas were the best we’ve had. We did order top-shelf liquor, therefore we really cannot rate the house margarita. The food is “gourmet Mexican” not Tex-Mex and presented artfully. Our group of 4 ordered several appetizers, the beet salad, and 4 main entrees and we shared all. We could not name a favorite, but all were delicious. We would recommend Salome to all.
