Best Family Style Restaurants in Salem

Food and service is always out of this world. Highly recommend and always thoroughly enjoy. Added bonus now is the Loon Room speakeasy concept downstairs. So nice to keep the conversation going with friends to transition downstairs for an after dinner drink. Ethan, the lead bartender downstairs is an awesome mixologist and fascinating to watch him work his cocktail magic!

Wow, what an awesome experience!!! Had the seasonal tasting which was a pricey experience but an experience that cannot compare to most others. This restaurant is a quaint place with some amazing waitstaff. We must have had a rotation of at least 5 servers bringing drinks, clearing courses, setting up new courses, serving & explaining each course and simply catering to any request we had. The flow was spot on. The food was unreal & impossible for me to describe with it's complexities. Each course was unique in a way that I've never had & I've eaten at Michelin Stars in Paris. Chef & team obviously take much pride in their creativity & amazing quality. Truly 1 of my top 5 food experiences in my 68 years! Can't wait for my next visit.

DanDan delivers an exceptional dining experience with its modern take on Chinese cuisine. The menu offers a great variety, blending bold, authentic flavors with creative twists. I particularly enjoyed the DanDan noodles and the dumplings – both were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The service was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The ambiance was trendy yet cozy, perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Overall, a must-visit spot for anyone in the area looking for high-quality Chinese-American cuisine. I'll definitely be back!

We LOVE Avli! The hot Meze items are all so delicious - the phyllo shrimp are an absolute must have every time we go. The lamb chops were tender, flavorful, and fantastic. Greek meatballs, zucchini fritters, spreads, and the GF pita are all wonderful. We shared the blueberry frozen yogurt with baklava "cigars" and could not believe how fabulous the frozen yogurt was. Better than the best frozen custard I've ever eaten. Our server was delightful and attentive.

Food and service was amazing!! I never leave reviews honestly, but you made our Christmas eve bright! Thank you :)
