St. Johns, FL - Nestled in the heart of Silverleaf, Salento Steakhouse is quickly becoming a cherished local gem, bringing the rich flavors, warmth, and vibrant spirit of Colombia to the St. Johns community.

Inspired by the rich culinary heritage of its namesake town in Colombia’s coffee region, Salento combines authentic Latin American flavors with the warm, inviting feel of a family-run gathering spot. Since opening its doors, the restaurant has earned enthusiastic praise from locals who highlight not only the quality of its dishes — from tender, perfectly grilled steaks to flavorful corn cakes and house-made empanadas — but also its attentive service and welcoming atmosphere.

"The food is outstanding, and the staff makes you feel like you're part of their family," one recent Google reviewer wrote. Another added, "It’s not just dinner — it’s a whole experience of Colombian hospitality.”

At Salento, every detail reflects the owners' passion for honoring their roots while building community. Colombian art and music fill the space, while traditional recipes are reimagined with premium ingredients to create a dining experience that feels both comforting and elevated.

“We wanted to create more than a restaurant — we wanted to share a piece of our culture with our neighbors,” said the staff at Salento. “The response from the St. Johns and Silverleaf community has been overwhelming in the best way. People come for the food, but stay for the connection.”
