Inspired by a market in Nice, France
Saleya Riviera Cafe was born over a lunch of oysters and Champagne on the Place Massena. Chef Scott and Gabrielle Alters were influenced by the beauty and hospitality of the city, its cultural heritage and delicious food, to return home and create a restaurant that captured these qualities. Saleya strives to create a joie de vivre that embodies the spirit of the Cote d'Azur and provides our guests with a space to celebrate life and good company.
The Ritual of the Late Afternoon
On the Côte d'Azur, aperitivo is the pause between the day and the evening — a cold drink, something small to eat, and no reason to hurry. We do it every day, three to six.

Great new restaurant! Service was friendly and efficient. everything tasted so fresh. The pita and hummus were delicious, and all the breads were warm and freshly baked. Definitely worth trying!

Bethany took amazing care of us. The food is fresh and every bite was delicious. I had the Athena sandwich with a delightful potato salad side. My friend had a Nicoise Salad and Pumpkin soup. 10 stars for each! Affordable. I highly recommend!

We just had a lovely lunch here. We ordered the Portofino sandwich and it was delicious! I ordered a Coke and it came in a cute little bottle. Our server was very attentive and refilled the water glasses. Our sandwich was made on focaccia that is made in-house and it was so good! It was a great find.

Lovely service, lovely atmosphere, delicious food, and the most perfect spin on a lemoncello spritz (that you can never find anywhere in US!!). So excited for this addition
