Saleya is a Riviera-style café here in Jacksonville, and it was one of those places that made my job really easy because it's already beautiful before I ever picked up my camera.
Every dish that came out looked intentional. The cocktails were gorgeous. The lighting throughout the restaurant is warm and inviting.& ;
But my favorite detail was actually the menu.
It's wrapped in soft leather with the name pressed right into the cover. It's such a small thing, but it tells you a lot. Someone cared enough to think about every part of the experience, even the thing you hold in your hands before you've ordered your food.
Those are the kinds of details I love noticing. They're also the kinds of details that tell your customers who you are long before anyone says a word.
If you haven't been to Saleya yet, do yourself a favor and go. The team has created something really special, and it's absolutely worth experiencing for yourself.
