We celebrated my birthday with a lovely lunch at Sevmar Bistro in Salem. Everything was delicious!…read moreWe all ordered the chicken kebab with rice, grilled vegetables, and a side salad, and for appetizers we shared pita chips with hummus and pita along with spanakopitas. For dessert they surprised me with a birthday slice of carrot cake, which was the perfect sweet ending. The space is beautifully decorated with floral aesthetics and a bright, welcoming atmosphere. There's even a real London red phone booth outside the entrance, and we each got a cute red phone booth keychain to take home, which was such a fun touch. For drinks, my friends tried the special martinis while I had the raspberry fizz, which was super refreshing and perfect for welcoming the spring season. The food was fantastic and the service was friendly and attentive. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. The only tiny con was the music overhead was a bit loud... let's just say at one point our table conversation sounded more like we were at an indoor concert than having lunch. Another small downside was the bathroom situation--there seemed to be only one or two stalls for men and women, so there was a bit of a wait Overall, it was a wonderful birthday spot!

I did see my waiter talking to the other waiters and looking back at me and my family which made me feel uncomfortable. Also, I got chocolate milk and she sniffed the milk before pouring, also make me feel uncomfortable.

THEIR BREAKFAST TOO ; is so delicious!!

I'm part of a Facebook group called Merrimack…read moreValley Eats and went there to post for some suggestions for a good Tuesday trivia night in the area - the suggestions were overwhelmingly leaning towards Merrimack Valley Golf Club! The trivia host himself, Mike, was one of the people to suggest we go there. Once we got there, I was able to identify Mike and said hi as he handed us our trivia papers. He was great on the mic, dry sense of humor and moved a good pace with the trivia! We ended up coming in 1st place out of 4 or 5 teams! It's a relatively small inside space with the most beautiful patio looking out onto the course which has some of the best sunsets in the MV area! Our server was Ian who was very cool, laid back, and fit the vibe of the place. I work in the service industry myself and respect the hell out of a good server, he knew his stuff, our food came out right even with a few modifications on my friends entree. I highly suggest the steak tips and start with the sweet potato fries with Jalapeño aioli as an app for the table! THEYRE SO GOOD. The golf course itself is beautiful and upstairs from sandtrap is another restaurant/bar called "Parlay" - beautifully decorated, so much sunlight coming through, definitely a place I'd love to check out in the future! If you're looking to switch up your Tuesday night routine or just looking for a fun date spot, check out Sandtrap and don't forget to step outside for the beautiful views!

Old time bar in a well-worn building with a separate dining room that's more spacious and quieter…read more My review is more for the food, since the beer I tried was my third choice. Decent enough. Wings: Smoked but didn't have that smoked wing taste or feel. They were definitely tender and moist, but definitely not crisp. My sauce (sesame honey sriracha) was a nice blend with a little heat and sweet, with neither dominating. Sesame was AWOL. Not bad, but the lack of crispness lost a chance to impress more. Smoked Brisket and Chorizo Chili: A small-ish serving somewhat concealed by the thick, droopy layer of cheese stretching across the top of the crock. Really nice flavor from the chorizo and peppers, but I didn't notice a smoke presence. Despite the crumbled bits of meat, more of a heated salsa feel than chili. Again, not bad, but nothing I'd get again. The Holburger: Now THIS one came through in flying colors. So rare in these days of smashburger dominance to see a thick burger (they do smashburgers too), and this was exceptionally juicy and brought good flavor from the brisket/shortrib blend and the grill itself. Bacon was only slightly crisp, but that's how I want it on a burger. Potent blue cheese. All of the flavors blended really nicely. Bun a white-bready version of brioche. A gigantic pile of fries (I think hand-cut) had the right crispness and droopiness. And to make it even better, on weekdays from noon to 4pm this burger-and-fries plate, with the addition of a draft beer is a dollar LESS. Good burger, good deal. Mixed bag so far, but that burger will bring me back to try more. Though they seem to be a little understaffed, service was friendly on two separate visits.

The pad Thai was also pretty great, with one caveat - the noodles were a little rubbery and hard to chew. I was there in the middle of the day on a Monday, so it was quiet, but there were a handful of tables. We did have someone greet and seat us almost immediately upon entry. The restaurant itself is a huge space with underwhelming decor. Given time if they are able to get busier perhaps they could buck up their seating?
