Nine Elm Danvers 10/10…read more My first experience here and also an early Birthday dinner for this never ending black hole of an appetite with 3 of the most important people to me and it twas delicious! Excellent ambiance and the food speaks for itself! Read on for the deets!!! Started with the blue cheese stuffed dates that Michael Petrigno aka What Would You Eat Today Sir loves and they were excellent! Wrapped in n bacon with a balsamic reduction that takes your tastebuds to a smokey realm of happiness! Great texture with each bite! Next the burrata which was like a posturepedic pillow of deliciousness laying upon some diced tomatoes with what I believe was a balsamic reduction drizzle and possibly pesto... all I know is I never wanted it to stop! For the entree I went pan seared scallops with white truffle whipped potatoes, and a corn veloute... no chincing on scallops here! There was plenty and the combination of flavors was exquisite! The truffle potatoes were amazing and I could have swam in the corn veloute! I also got to try a bite of the swordfish and holy heck that was amazing as well! Everything cooked perfectly! Last but certainly not least was this amazing chocolate cake served warm with vanilla ice cream & sea salt caramel sauce! Amazing bites that were so melt in your mouth delicous! Matt and Jean (owners) blew my night out of water and I know they will for you too! Life is short so enjoy a meal with loved ones

This lovely venue is a bit of a hike from Boston during rush hour but well worth the trip. It's a…read morelovely and popular restaurant housed in a colonial-style building. The staff are friendly and the servers knowledgeable and efficient. The hostess had trouble finding our reservation (my companion was already seated) but it seemed to be quite busy that Friday night. The restaurant consists of quite a few separate rooms and we were seated in one that was not too crowded. (I walked through the bar on my way in and that was hopping.) I had a glass of sauvignon blanc and after studying the menu and consulting our server my companion and I both went for a burger. There was no problem with my swapping out the french fries for onion rings (points there!). The burgers were done exactly to our liking (mine mediume rare, hers medium well). I should have turned down dessert, I was that full, but my companion was willing so we went for it. There was a good selection of typical New England desserts and we finally settled on a blueberry crisp topped with vanilla ice cream which was good but not great (not sure I can put my finger on why, so it may be that I was too full to enjoy it). There is a parking lot although it is not paved so was not fun walking through at the end of a day when it clearly had rained. It also could use some lighting. This is a wonderful restaurant suitable for a special occasion or an ordinary night out. I will definitely be back.

Today, when I called to see if we could come a little earlier, we were told there was another event in the room and that it might not even be over by the time of our appointment. We completely understand that events can run over, but we should have been given a heads-up. Unfortunately, Kim was also incredibly rude and condescending on the phone. As someone who has worked in the service industry for years, I would never speak to a potential customer that way. Really disappointing experience and not the impression you want to get when considering a venue for such an important event.

Everything about this place is fantastic. They were very busy when we arrived and while the bar was…read morebacked up, it was worth the wait. We ordered a few things to split and went off of what we saw at other tables. So many people had the pizzas so we had to give it a go. The French onion soup was fantastic and rich. The Ceaser salad was good, and not too intense but it was garlicky and had homemade hand ripped croutons. We were starving so we ordered the Brussels sprouts on a whim and it was incredible! The umami flavor and sou sauce ginger aioli with the pickled onions was so unexpected we almost ordered one to go. Lastly was the pizza, the dough is great and sadly we didn't get to try their red sauce but the pizza was excellent. They have a huge beer selection and we loved seeing their on tap selection. Definitely recommend getting a reservation since they never had empty tables but there wasn't a line out the door. There are two sides to the restaurant and the bar is big and well staffed. We waited about 15 minutes to get water or see any one at our table but that's because we came at 6:30 pm on a Saturday and they were absolutely busy. Once we saw our waitress and got our order in it was quick and smooth sailing. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the high tops and enjoying your time.

The Superfoods Salad was excellent…read more The service had som weird moments. It was a busy day for them and we had a reservation for 8 people. When I arrived there were lots of people at the host stand and they all seemed to ignore me? Other people were coming in behind me and I was standing right there and they were talking to everyone but me? There weren't enough water glasses at our table, and the food took a long time to come out. That being said - I'd eat here again. The booze list looked great. The rest of the menu looked good. They have a number of gluten free options that one of the people in our party really enjoyed. The restaurant was nice inside. It was a good brunch place all in all. The restaurant is in a larger plaza with a lot of perking within walking distance to shopping.

Tried Sala Restobar in Beverly and overall it was a pretty underwhelming experience…read more We started with drinks -- I ordered a piña colada expecting it to be blended, but it came unblended. Nothing on the menu or from the server mentioned that, which was disappointing right away. When I told the server I didn't like it and wanted something else, he literally tilted his head and said, "ummm what do I tell the bartender?" That honestly rubbed me the wrong way -- just felt unprofessional and awkward. Jenny got a tequila cosmo, which was fine, nothing special. Food-wise, everything was just average. The bao buns were overcooked and the bun fell apart, though the flavor was decent. The pineapple fried rice was probably the best thing we had, but even that was just okay. We also had dumplings -- Jenny liked them, but I thought they were just alright. Dessert was the biggest miss. The blueberry cobbler was not good at all -- maybe a 3/10 at best. One thing that really didn't sit right was when we asked to split the tasting menu and were told no. That doesn't make much sense -- if people want to share, especially for a tasting menu, it should be allowed. Overall, nothing stood out in a good way, and between the service and the food, solid ambiance , it just wasn't a great experience.

They also offer outdoor seating, which is a nice option when the weather is nice. If you're planning to go during peak dinner hours, I definitely recommend making a reservation.

The food is good, but the service is lackluster. We had a subpar experience a few months ago and…read moredecided to give it another shot. This time was worse. While there are gluten free options, I was served gluten during both visits. The first time was the wrong pasta. The kitchen made me a new meal. The second attempt was fine, but my table ate while I waited and then I ate alone when my food did come. This time we ordered a gluten free pizza as an app. We received a regular pizza. We were told that we would be comped for the mistake and a gluten pizza was on the way. Neither statement was true. An hour after we ordered, after we had completed our meal, we were told the kitchen was backed up and asked if we still wanted the gluten free pizza. We declined because we just wanted to leave at the point, but the regular pizza was still on the bill. We paid it - it's fine. As a member of the gluten-free/celiac community, I would caution others to be extra careful here. We really wanted to like this restaurant, but the very slow service (a hour before we received any food) coupled with the allergy mistakes make it tough to consider again.

No problem, sometimes this happens so we keep waiting for our food. Turns out there was an error with their order so they send it back.

After over 30 minutes of waiting for 3 omelets we ask to pay for our drinks and cancel our order, because we aren't thieves, and the manager comes out to complete the transaction.

The interior is warm and welcoming with wood accents. Seated in a booth in the bar area we settled in and ordered some drinks. I got my usual tequila soda, my husband wanted a chocolate martini, and my sister in law decided on a French martini, something that my husband likes to get and she decided to try. The drinks were very good! The entrees we chose were the baby back ribs, a "classic burger", and the chicken Marsala. Everything we tried was delicious! The ribs were a very large portion and cooked to fall-off-the-bone perfection. My burger was very tasty and came with the biggest onion rings ever. So good! The chicken Marsala was as good as any ever eaten in any "Little Italy" . The server was very prompt and efficient. As a matter of fact, the staff all seemed to be relaxed and were working like a well oiled machine. We had a great experience and hope to return there whenever we are back in the Boston area.
