I'm coming out of my yelp reviewing hiatus to give flowers to this restaurant. An absolute triumph…read moreof fresh and local fusion cuisine, O was impressed by the bold flavors (squid ink pasta with fish paste) and high quality ingredients. Of note was the pork chop entree, with the pork sourced from a local farm. The pork was unbelievably tender, practically the pork equivalent of wagyu. The fat was rendered out perfectly and the chop had a smoky char, the tomato and onion sauce over the top cut through the fattiness and balanced the dish perfectly. The pork chop itself is worth traveling out of your way for, and the squid ink pasta and salmon smoked on a wood board are also highlights. The Cozy Taberna lives up to its reputation as one of the best restaurants in Salem.

I was greeted by Juliana, who extended a warm welcome, and all of my servers have been knowledgeable and very accommodating.

I have no idea why this place doesn't have five stars across-the-board. I am hard to please and I loved everything about it. The environment is chill. It feels like an old house on the inside with old pictures, low lighting and a lot to look at. It's not fine dining but I really liked the decor and the vibe. The service was top-notch. Both times we had Sarah, she was not only attentive and friendly, but also went out of her way to make sure our kids were taken care of, put up with our loud family, and accommodated multiple checks for our large group. She was a rockstar. And the food was great! And reasonably priced too. The first visit we had pizza and salad and the second time we had eggplant park, pasta, and oysters and clams- we loved it all! Portions were large, appearance was good and it tasted delish. I also had the tiramisu and it was yum. We will be going back again for sure.

This review is for the "Lounge" half of Christo's. Yes, there are two separate areas, the "dining…read moreroom", and the "Lounge". Their web site REALLY should make this more obvious. The lounge has three columns of tables directly touching each other, and single seats at the bar. The space is TIGHT, too tight, since wait staff are forced to walk sideways down the columns of tables and between those seated at the bar to see the show (the stage and bar are at opposite ends of the room). When the band takes the stage, staff turn the house lights off, which makes for a literal "dine in the dark" experience (not fun). There are also fog machines, that would be best left turned off (fog isn't needed for jazz music). There's also a green laser ball that shoots laser dots around the room, which (again) seems completely out-of-place for jazz shows. Parking is all street parking, and the neighborhood has a large homeless population. The food was definitely one of the pluses, and the other was the friendliness and efficiency of the staff.

She was never flustered or seemed irritated either. She was working hard and she deserves a hug pay raise. Food was typical comfort Italian food. Plentiful and full of flavor.
