    There are many options of places to go, and with the new remodeling of the main dining hall, it could only get better!

    The food is not terrible. However, there aren't many dining options. There is only one main dining hall with the same few options over and over again. I would have liked for a second option, but I will take what I can get.

    Salve's food could use a little fine tuning. The meals in Miley are not that tasty. Sometimes they will have good dinners, but most of the time I'll either eat cereal or salad. I gave food a three star rating because of the fact that we also have a burger restaurant. It's pretty good but I wouldn't want to eat burgers all the time.

    The food here is a bit above average here at Salve. They have a really nice salad bar, and their breakfasts are fantastic. However they have the same food all the time...

    Salve's food is wonderful! They offer a variety of different foods everyday. The also have vegetarian meals at all dining hours so there is plenty for you to pick from.

    Food at Salve is average. The saving grace in the dining hall is the fact that there is always a salad bar as a back-up.

    Salve does not have a Greek system which turned me off to the school at first, but I've found many other clubs to substitute the qualities I was looking for such as unity and philanthropy.
