Salazar

Yes, Salazar offers private gatherings, including a Nook private room off the bar (intimate, max 8 people) and other private areas; the restaurant also allows private parties.

Portions tend to be generous, guests note sizable servings (the lamb shank is called "massive" or "fall off the bone tender") and several dishes and pastas are large enough to share.

Yes, Salazar is well suited to a special evening, with cozy rooms (including a back room by a fireplace), an intimate bar, and guests reporting memorable anniversary and Valentine’s dinners.

Expect the dining rooms to feel busiest when tables are full, guests describe the space as very loud or pretty full on busy nights. The bar and later-in-the-evening, after tables clear, are generally the quieter options.

Yes, Salazar mentions a patio, and the restaurant description even invites guests to relax there for a casual drink or a celebration.

Yes, Salazar has reopened at a new address (101 W 5th St), and guests refer to the original Salazar location in OTR from the restaurant’s earlier incarnation.

Salazar feels like a large, polished eatery with distinct rooms, a cozy bar, back dining rooms (some with a fireplace), and an open, modern buildout, energetic when full and more relaxed at the bar or when tables thin out.

Smart casual is the guide, polished but not formal; guests often dress up a touch for anniversaries and special evenings.

Yes, Salazar welcomes families: reviewers report multi‑generational groups and even guests dining with a baby, and private nooks and event-friendly spaces make family gatherings comfortable.
