The food we got was absolutely amazing, all of it! We got the bacon wrapped dates, patatas bravas, fried brussel sprouts, the Pan con Tomate, the garlic rubbed bread, and a tomahawk steak to start. All of it was exquisite! For dessert we got this lemon tarte type dish, crème brule, and a slice of their chocolate cake. A couple people ordered espresso martinis and raved about how good they were. Our server Tiffany was a rock star!

You choose what you want and order at the counter and they give you a number. Then they'll bring it to your table. I enjoyed the rice bowl. The tofu seemed to be fried and the sauce on it was spicy. The miso Moon coffee thankfully did not taste like miso, lol. My friend had an espresso and said it was terrible, very sour. Everyone else at our table seemed to enjoy our food, there were a lot of burgers and fries being ordered at the group. They have my daughter's favorite sort of salad, with blue cheese and steak. Sadly, they were out of salmon the day we visited. Would definitely consider coming back if I'm in Salem again.

This is an update review. Let me be very clear: I like this place. HOWEVER…read more.. the steak is horrifically terrible. I mean, it's worse than any steak I have ever had; even my grandma's. And that's saying a lot. You do not want to know of the torture. Suggestions: 1st: If you want to have a steak on the menu, at least serve the cut that is on the menu. 2nd: if you're worried about food cost, do something pounded, and marinated, OR do a small trimmed cut that is excellent quality, and serve it with a lot of mash and veg, and that bordelaise sauce (which wasn't bad). 3rd: Meatloaf

I went here on a first date and I have to say this place was the perfect wingman! Small but perfect beer menu and the cozy, hipster atmosphere was perfect for an intimate conversation. I love that you can get comfortable in the living room or play board games while sitting close on one of the couches. If the weather is nice you can also step outside onto their clean and comfortable patio for a conversation under the stars. A unique, amazing bar that I'd recommend to anyone visiting the Salem area or passing through. One of the coolest places I've ever had the pleasure of visiting and I'd highly recommend to anyone who loves beer and great conversation!

Being the good patron that I am, I often bus my own table to the bar area. When I dropped off my glass this time, the bartender asked me twice if I paid. I paid her in cash not more than a half hour before that. She still raised a accusatory eyeball as I said this. Why would I go to the bar and drop off my glass if I was trying to bail without paying? Next time, bar staff, please take your memory medication before going to work. Despite how cool this place looks, I won't be returning.

If you want a delicious sweet treat try "your mother". Lots of the cocktails are made with in-house syrups. They also have a nice selection of snacks and food items too. Come in for a nightcap, to meet with friends or even if you're going on a date. I also loved that there was a dj and the place was decorated for Halloween! I also heard they'll have different dj's come in and events too! Really great addition to downtown Salem!

OMG! I am blown away by every aspect of this restaurant!…read more 1.The SERVICE is a reflection of management. Everyone helps every table and not because they are required to, but because they are team oriented. It's so refreshing to have another server come take drink orders even if it's not their table. 2. The FOOD! It is so good. That kind of good that leaves you wanting more even though you're full. I really can't say anything but "perfection" it could not have been better. When you see all aspects of a restaurant come together so flawlessly it's because it's coming from management/ownership. The management team is reflected on the service floor as well as in the kitchen. and it is exceptional. These guys/gals are winners. Go here!

Albondigas Boquerones…read more Patatas bravas Caprese Caesar Old fashioned Penicillin Dirty martini Bloody wanker First drop in for the wife and I after discovering and hearing about this establishment taking over from the previous bar. First impression walking in was much better than the previous spot. Pintxos staff skips the bombastic side eye upon entry and actually greets you whether you're new or a regular. Seems like the bare minimum, but surprisingly nowadays, you don't see it consistently enough. Kudos! The main bartender was friendly and welcoming, and helped us out with the menus and let us peruse a bit. The owner was nice and friendly as well. Their bar staff was attentive in general. The drinks were solid and the food was good. The albondigas were a little too salty for my liking, but the flavor was there. They seem to care about the product they're putting out to serve their patrons, so that is definitely appreciated. Check it out and support them. They seem like cool people and the food and drinks? You will find something that you will like.

We came in for brunch and the Breakfast Sally (their breakfast salad) was hands down one of the best brunch dishes I've had. Unexpected, perfectly balanced, and something I'd come back for specifically. Cocktails were just as strong--the Mambo #6 was a standout, and my boyfriend loved both his old fashioned and the breakfast skillet. Everything felt thoughtful without being overdone. We'll absolutely be back next time we're in Salem.

My loaded nachos had liquid cheese, sour cream, tomato's and onions I'm not upset with the bartender i just wish she would have started with those things i would have left!
