Salata is a delightful addition to the Southlake area. I absolutely love that you can create your own salad. My kids load up on cheese and black olives and drown their salad in a sea of dressing followed by layers of sunflower seeds and croutons. I, on the other hand, opt for a slightly healthier version: veggies and shrimp, but somehow those croutons found their way to my plate!
Bonus points for limiting the number of people (germs) that have access to the salad bar by only allowing staff to assemble the salad. Double bonus points for their amazing drinks they had. If I were on a salad diet, I would choose this place over others just for their specialty flavored teas and lemonades alone.
I only have one recommendation and it's a big one. Stop serving food in doggie bowls! Salata is not the only one to do this. It must be the new trend, but I cannot stand it. If you're like me, order your food to go. You'll get your food in a to-go-box, but it is a step above eating out of a dog dish.
