“La Qchara is the type of neighborhood spot that everyone wishes was on their block. Charming, smallish space with comfortable seating, a glass window onto vibrant Cabot Street, and art from local artists/artisans in the wall. There is a 6-seat bar, where our party of 6 sat, right in the middle of action and a great vantage for enjoying the making of the carefully crafted margaritas Mango? Spicy? Skinny? Classic? You have some wonderful choices. Or a coconut mojito with a toasted coconut rim? Our expert bartender Ernesto made each drink with thoughtful expertise, and they were delicious! These came with a mild salsa and perfectly crisp tortilla chips to munch on while perusing the exciting menu. We added the habanero sauce conveniently placed on the bar and livened the salsa up a bit (not everyone loves super spicy—but our party loved the heat!) The food is from a scratch kitchen, and it is delicious. We started with shared apps—the shrimp ceviche and the tuna tartare tostada—both fresh as can be and loaded with lime and chile flavors. We also split an order of tostones, that were of perfect consistency, light and fluffy almost, with a chipotle crema for dipping. Excellent choices for starters—all six of us had plenty, and we finished the plates. For entrees, two of us had veggie enchiladas mole, two had chicken enchiladas mole, and two had Birreria tacos. These plates came with rice and beans, which were silken smooth with perfect flavor of Latin spices. La Qchara blends the cuisines of Venezuela, Mexico, and Guatemala—and the menu represents each well. It's so nice to be able to choose from the best loved dishes from each unique land. On a street where you have many pre-theatre choices, La Qchara was a delight—we all knew we picked the perfect spot. Hospitality abounds, and the food and drinks are so satisfying. We only wish there was a La Qchara in Somerville—we'd be there every week!“

“This place far exceeds its 4.3 stars. After reading some of the negative reviews, most of the complaints honestly don’t seem very valid. The burgers here are fresh, flavorful, and consistently good.

Yes, they can get busy, and that sometimes affects timing, but what restaurant today isn’t dealing with staffing challenges? What stood out to me is that many of the servers have been there a long time, and as someone who spent nearly 30 years in hospitality, that says a lot about the place.

Don’t let the star rating make your decision for you. Give this spot a shot, you probably won’t regret it. The Royal with Cheese is my go-to every time.“

“We had a very delicious dinner here when we were visiting and staying in Salem. The atmosphere was great and I have to give a big shout out to our waitress Rachel, who was a total sweetheart and very accommodating, as well as Tori, who took over as our waitress when Rachel's shift was over. This is the best place to eat in Salem and highly recommend it to anyone who loves seafood! Thank you again Turners!!“

“Second visit to Nightshade, 14 courses did not disappoint!“

“Sarah was an amazing bartender and made me 2 amazing cocktails and was nothing short of helpful when I wrestled about what to eat since I'm trying to eat my way in seafood while I'm in New England.
The live jazz band: incredible. Talented. Passionate about their music. Its been a while since I've seen the full room of people applaud so vigorously for a live band. Not a polite clap, they meant it and these guys earned it. If I lived here, I would definitely be a regular and I'll definitely be back given the chance!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner last night. Very pleasant ambience, good service, and outstanding food – which, as an added bonus, was served piping hot! Moussaka was delicious, as was the lamb kebab dinner.  We love good Mediterranean food and will absolutely return!“

“This is an amazing place to host a party! The entire staff was fantastic! Beautiful room and delicious food!“

“Closing June 2026! Good fried pickles, left for our main meal as the menu has been condensed due to their upcoming closure. Staff was super friendly, but I was surprised that we were 2 of 4 patrons in the whole place at 6:45pm on a Sunday. We went down the road to a busier spot but thought the staff treated us really well while we were there. Thank you!“

“Was our first time here and won’t be the last. The mussels and fries were phenomenal! Lovely atmosphere, beautiful decor, and friendly and attentive waitstaff. A delightful dining experience thank you!“

“Thank you so much for a great experience. We loved the decor and the food was delicious. Thanks to Jacob, Natalie, Mico and of course my sister Karen for a wonderful experience. Thank you to Margaret and Matt for welcoming us. Excellent Marie (Butt) Washington“

“Place is so unique! Love the antique feel! Had a wonderful time dining on the patio with friends!“

“We had a truly delightful experience at Pomona Cafe. The service was lovely, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was so inviting and comfortable. The place has been lovingly remodeled and it feels like somewhere else. The handcrafted woodwork is beautiful and the high ceilings and large windows make the space feel airy and calm. The mussels and gambas (shrimp) were both beautifully cooked and we could have dunked a loaf of bread in each sauce. The salmon was bright and beautifully paired with perfectly cooked asparagus and spinach , the bolognese was also very good as well as the chicken limon. We shared a delicious and not-too-sweet pistachio cheesecake dessert that was very satisfying. The ONLY possible negative would be the bread. All of those delicious sauces need a worthy vehicle! We will definitely be going back.“

“Absolutely adore All Souls! Their staff is phenomenal- so kind and efficient. Their bartenders are some of the best in the city. All Souls is a must if you’re visiting Salem for sure!“

“I’ve been a vegetarian for decades. The Babe has the best veggie burger I’ve ever had! Great service as well!“

“We had such a blast at your restaurant! The food was amazing and the drinks were out of this world! The staff were so nice and welcoming! We came in on Friday before closing and everyone was so nice! We so appreciated it! We can’t wait to come back when we visit! Best vegan pizza I ever had!“

“3 soft corn tacos, hot sauce, 2 beers, excellent white rice, excellent retried beans and excellent guacamole that didn’t have overwhelming lime juice. No lime juice at all. I relaxed and enjoyed it all greatly. You will too. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Swampscott's gem - Big Mac pizza is out of this world!“

“Nice service, I’ve been here multiple times but this specific time I came to celebrate my moms 49th birthday, service was great I would suggest for the food to come out all together rather than one plate at the time. Definitely a vibe. Angelica was great, very professional and polite“

“Food was delicious 🤤 and our waitress Tara was awesome!! First restaurant we went to at Salem and we were definitely impressed. The drinks were great as well.“

“We visited for the first time on Easter, and we will be back soon. Shout out to our awesome server Nick!“
