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!!“

“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 went down the road to a busier spot but thought the staff treated us really well while we were there. Thank you!“

“You will not find a more beautiful, excellent hotel than here. They have exceptional staff, excellent food, amazing accommodations. There is just not enough good to say about the Beauport Hotel. They did not miss any details. The interior is so beautiful and inviting, the food menus are eclectic and there isn’t a bad seat in the house. Recently ran into a self created 😂 snag, and Lauren went above and beyond duty and out of her way to resolve it! Don’t miss the Beauport.“
