   We have had many great experiences at Chira's previously but this one was definitely NOT one of them. We went in for a birthday. Waitress was fantastic but food was not on par. Son's halibut fish and chips ($30) was rubbery to the point that he could not even eat it. When we let them know they took 50% off of our bill but should have removed it all as it was not even edible. Two at our table had the Kobe Burger and Bun was so HARD that they put a steak knife in it and it remained upright. I had the salmon Oscar and my salmon was dry/overcooked. We were very disappointed. Likely won't be going back which is unfortunate as Salem has so few good American restaurants anymore.

   The Garden Omelette and hash browns and coffee were so delicious. Yelena (sp?), the waitress, was so kind and friendly and courteous. We had a wonderful time.

   This place is the best fine dining restaurant in the area. If you are lucky enough to be there on a night when live music is being played (typically all instrumental jazz) the experiences goes to S tier. Be prepared to pay for the quality, but this is the place to treat yourself in town.

   We’ve walked past this place many times. Finally decided to try it. Glad we did! The food was yummy, cocktails were very nice, the service was the best thing about our whole experience. Sean was attentive, personable, and had such a fun personality! There was also live jazz so that was a nice surprise! We recommend eating here.

   We were the only diners at 2 pm on a Sunday afternoon, so we had excellent service and a relaxed meal with friends.

   Great food and service. They were busy looks like they could have used more staff. But everyone did great. Music was a nice touch to our evening. We had the prime rib. Very good.

    I love this place, and I will definitely go again. Their eggs benedict is delicious, and so is their prime rib hash! The biscuit was also good. Unfortunately the music was really loud for a Saturday morning and it took over an hour for our food to come, and we were the first customers. The server seemed a little stressed, so maybe something was going on behind the scenes? Typically, when I go to an upscale restaurant, I expect more soft, quieter music. The last time I went, they were playing Frank Sinatra and that Era music, and it was so wonderful and classy. Also, the prime rib hash, although very good, hardly had any hollandaise sauce on it.
