Absolutely unique experience with exquisite gastronomic satisfaction! All I will say is, Google this place and look for news articles. News articles will be able to explain what it is. In short, it's a speakeasy style food stand that is secretive and mysterious. You need to know the password and have exact change in order to get your food. There is only one item on the menu, which changes week to week. Did I mention this place was only open one day a week? THIS IS NOT A JOKE! Follow them on Facebook to get the secret code. Bring exact change. Give it to the guy in the pig mask. Yes, a pig mask. I was one of the first 10 people there, so I got a free sticker with my meal. The meal this past Wednesday (the day they are open) was a pork parmasan sandwich, with Back Alley Bacon root beer (sorry, not bacon flavored) and Smart popcorn. It was absolutely delicious! The pork was juicy and tender, the marinara bold, and cibatta garlic bread was satisfying. Be in the know! Locals are loving this place! Even politicians from Salem are seen frequenting this place getting in line for a sacred pork-based meal!

With the staffs help and managers coin flip I settled on the vegetable korma as my main. Intense and complex flavors melded in my mouth. Too much for one lunch so yay me lunch for tomorrow. Hubs had the steak frites. Med rare. Perfectly seared The au ju was delicious! What was supposed to be quick lunched ended up being few hours of meeting new peeps and having a blast. Can't wait to return!

Trade House has opened on Derby Street in Salem, formerly Witch's Brew Café. This bar and…read morerestaurant offers a casual drinking and dining experience with the atmosphere of a neighborhood New England style pub. The layout of the place has the pub/lounge area with a full service bar with seating & TVs opposite high top table seating. The separated dining room to the right side has table seating & a corner fireplace and the back area of the place has a couple tables (employee area). The food menu offers a selection of starters, salads, sandwiches, burgers, main entrees, and desserts, at moderate prices. A kids menu is also offered. IThe bar serves 12 draft beers, beer cans/bottles, wine, and cocktails. After a drive on a foggy evening, I stopped in at Trade House for some late evening food and to catch the Celtics game on TV. I took a seat at a high top table next to the bar. The server came over in a couple minutes after I settled in. I requested an ice water and immediately placed my food order. For a starter, Fried Calamari ($16 plus tax) served in a bowl had flash fried calamari rings & tentacles with a light coating, very tender to eat with lemon wedge for zest and a pomodoro sauce for dipping. For dinner, the Southern Fried ($17 plus tax) was stacked with lettuce, tomato, red onions, thick crunchy fried buttermilk chicken, pimento & pickle chips on a toasted bun. The side of thinner cut golden fries was salted and firm, ketchup cup on the side. I very much enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich with the crisp fries. After I was done, the server dropped off the check, which was $35.31 with tax and before tip. Overall, a great tasting fried meal in a noisy pub, NBA finals on TV, and adequate service.

My wife ordered their award winning espresso martini. She said it was perfect! One of the best, so give it another award lol! The clam chowder is probably one of the best things on the menu!! The warm fresh bread is delicious!! The hamburgers are pretty good. And they have variety of fries (sweet potato as well). I recommend coming here. Chowder is a must!!

For food, we shared the Nachos, Clam Chowder and Whipped Feta. Everything was really good including the drinks. I wish we would have either ordered more food to try or came back for another meal. I loved the vibe and interior of The Tavern - it was spooky and old timey. You could see and feel the history of this hotel and it was awesome to experience. The dining room had a bunch of tables, but did not feel overcrowded. The Tavern is a great place to grab a drink and relax. It would also make great for a romantic date night. I also loved that the lobby was decorated with a bunch of pumpkins. Staff were also very friendly and attentive! I would absolutely come back here the next time we are in town! Check them out - you won't be disappointed!

The reviews looked good so we traipsed through the rain to get there. I ordered a seafood-stuffed haddock that was beautifully presented and amazingly freshly prepared to eat. I loved every bite and now that I'm back in Colorado, I'm craving another serving please! The staff was attentive and conscientious - bringing us extras like more tarter sauce and drinks without a second prompt from us. The ambiance was a large open space, very clean (bathroooms, too), with soft music playing in the background. It was easy to have conversations in here and be heard - no loud, obnoxious tables, no party atmosphere on this Monday evening. And, the pricing was on par with the other seafood we had eaten all week up and down the coast. We will definitely go back next time we are in Salem!

Both were tasty and the lobster roll was generous. There is a nice deck overlooking the water but it was too hot for us to eat outside today. Inside the dining room is nice and airy. Service was friendly and attentive. Parking at noon on a Saturday in June was a nightmare. All the garages were full. We drove around until we found street parking.
