Excellent service and food. We were there with a party of 8. They were able to seat us promptly. Most everyone ordered something different. Everyone enjoyed their food. It well prepared and delicious. I have a Gluten allergy. They have some GF menu items and made note of that for the kitchen.

My wife and i have recently started touring the restaurants of Aiken and last night our journey took us for the first time to Salty Tomatoes on Laurens St. We were not disappointed! We sat at the bar and admired the fact the owner took pride in preserving and highlighting the old brick building walls and structure that Aiken is famous for. Simple but warm and welcoming. We were promptly greeted with a big smile by Halsey(?) the bartender. My wife was looking for a light, refreshing cocktail. She took Halsey's recommendation and was delighted with her choice. I had a cider. We decided (before entering the premises) that we would have an app and salad and then continue on to anther restaurant on our list. We decided on the Green Tomatoes and a Roasted Beet/Butternut salad. The presentation on both dishes was excellent. The tomatoes were fresh and the fry was crisp. The remoulade was delicious and had just the right heat to offset the saltiness of the tomato seasoning. The salad was a very large portion (perfect for the 2 of us to split) and had all the right elements (candied pecans, fresh goat cheese, fresh mixed greens and a house made dressing I can't recall the name of but was a perfect compliment). My wife is a big fan of arugula, which was not one of the ingredients in the salad. She offered constructive feedback to the owner (who we were fortunate to meet) who was very welcoming of our feedback and promised us that when we come back to please ask for any special requests and they would be happy to accommodate if they could (arugula is a component in one of their flatbread dishes). We wish we had time for Dessert! Not only were they all fresh made by the owner (an award winning pastry chef) but several of the fresh offerings were gluten free which is rarely offered and important to our diets! We will most certainly be back for dinner and dessert in the near future!

Great food and a nice upscale atmosphere that avoids being stuffy. We ate inside but it looked like they had a large patio through the back as well that is probably gorgeous in the spring. Making reservations was a bit of a hassle which is why this wasn’t a 5 star review. Having to leave a voicemail and wait for a call back for a seating time is very unusual. The scallop appetizer was excellent, My lamb was perfectly cooked and out waitress Annabelle was pleasant, attentive and very knowledgeable about what was gluten free or able to be made gluten free for me on the menu. Absolutely will be back the next time I am in aiken.

What an incredibly fun place--and great for a birthday party!!!. Gracious but fun waitstaff use their knowledge to ensure you excellent service. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, including being able to accommodate me (who has to be gluten free). By the way, my meal was great! Fabulous desserts and great after dinner drinks, but really remember: Don't forget the whiskey.

Absolutely horrible experience at Casa Bellas. If you get April as your waitress, just leave . Orders were all wrong, salads and meals. We even specifily orders Gluten free and they brought out regular pasta after confirming that they could do gluten free pasta. Took forever to get basic soda drinks and bread with oil. Do yourself a favor and pick a different restaurant.

This is our absolute favorite restaurant in Aiken. The food is amazing. I am gluten free and have a few other allergies. They have many things that I can safely eat and are so accommodating to change something if needed. Our waiter Bruce was fantastic as well. He was so friendly, answered all of my questions, and suggested accommodations to make it allergy friendly for me. He was the best waiter I’ve had in a very long time. We will definitely be back and ask for Bruce.
