“My husband and I came to Salem for our first wedding anniversary, and this spot is just amazing. Absolutely a high point in our visit so far!!

The cocktail menu alone is amazing - unique and well thought out. As much as I love any variety of Moscow Mule, you won't find that kind of thing on the menu here. Every cocktail is totally unique and creative.

And the fact that Edward Scissorhands was playing on their big screen during our visit is just icing on the cake!

If you're looking for a unique, memorable experience, THIS is the spot. We'll be back before we leave town!“

“There is a great place and people. Where and when you can spend your spare time and be surrounded by friendly people, great atmosphere and service, and also you will be satisfied efficiently at Gregory's Lounge in Peabody, MA. Thank you so much guys : Guen, Charlie and Harry, you are the best ...“

“This place was amazing! We came for drinks and appetizers but they were so good that we stayed for dinner and we were not disappointed! Vie was a great! She was friendly & helpful and all the drinks she suggested were amazing! Will definitely be back next time we’re in town! Or when we move here 😏“

“great place!!! the owner did a great job with this place. clean and modern etc. 5 stars“

“A hidden gem, and wonderful spot in Salem!! Fabulous drinks, a wonderful story, and the greatest staff. Perfect spot for just about anything.“

“This was an awesome experience-the atmosphere is casually elegant with midnight blue walls illuminated with candles and greenery. We had the 9 course option and not knowing what would be coming next just added to the adventurous feeling. The courses were comprised of small complex creations that were paired with different wines…each dish was presented with an explanation of what was in it and how it was made. They were well timed to come out just as we were finishing the previous one. The food was aromatic and fresh and innovative. All the servers were professional and pleasant. This was just so much fun-I give it a 10/10 and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new dining experience.“

“Having a good friend who is Greek and a fabulous cook, I am very critical of Greek food. Everyone loved their meals, there were 5 of us. I had the lamb, which was delicious, and I couldn't say anything negative. We will definitely go back again and this has now become one of our favorite restaurants!“

“The food was great, but what really made this dining experience so phenomenal & memorable was our waitress Fabiola. Such a bright personality that made this night with friends one I’ll remember forever.“

“Wonderful food and great vibe. The owner/check is really vested in his menu and in his customers. Tapas style and 3 items was certainly enough fir 2! Food is so delicious.“

“I absolutely love everything about La Qchara in Beverly, Massachusetts! It’s a must-visit for those who love Spanish cuisine. The restaurant masterfully blends traditional dishes with modern flair, offering an enticing menu with something for everyone. This restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with ambient lighting and rustic decor, it creates a welcoming ambiance, enhanced by a passionate staff. Experience Spain's vibrant flavors locally. They’ve got it all and I am a fan for life! Keep up the great work!“

“I can’t say enough great things about The Babe! Our food was excellent, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I had the Mr. Falafel sandwich, and I was still talking about it days later! It was so good—perfectly balanced flavors with just the right amount of tzatziki sauce (heavenly), all wrapped up in a soft wrap. The one recommendation I would make would be to cut the falafels into four pieces just to make it easier to eat. But to be honest, it didn’t stop me from devouring the whole thing, and I will be back to eat another one! But it will be a tossup—do I get the truffle burger or do I get another Mr. Falafel? My boyfriend got the Reuben, and he said it was incredible as well! Our bartender was fantastic—so friendly, knowledgeable, and rocking these awesome little heart glasses. She really knew her stuff when it came to cocktails. They actually serve orange Combier, which I feel is the cream of the crop for making the best margarita! She made us a fantastic margarita, and I also had another drink with grapefruit (I don’t remember the name), but it was delicious too! We sat at the bar and had the chance to meet one of the owners, who was so friendly and kind. The whole place has such a welcoming vibe, and I can only imagine how fun it must be when they have live music. I really can’t wait to go back!!“

“Love this place. Can’t wait to come back“

“500 Ocean is a beautiful property with some amazing amenities. It is in a great location, surrounded by ocean views, restaurants and very accessible to the T, literally right below the building. My husband and I had a great experience living here and had rarely any issues. The main issue we had at move-in was addressed and we were even offered a small gift for the inconvenience. I love the maintenance staff and they are always so pleasant and helpful. One of my favorite parts of living here was having an in-house fitness coach/ personal trainer- Cienna Jade! She is so amazing to work with and has really helped me along my fitness journey. It was so convenient having her come to the 500 Ocean gym, which is one of the best gyms I've seen in an apartment home. She conducts 1 on 1 sessions and will literally work with you on scheduling a time that's convenient for you as well as offering group or couple sessions! Overall, very pleasant experience!“

“Had to scratch a taco itch and found this place had opened recently. Tried the birria and pechuga tacos and can't say enough positive things - fresh-tasting and flavorful. Hats off to the staff and chef! We'll be back to sample more soon.“

“Come here all the time and it is by far the best pizza I’ve ever had! Everything is great, from the bread to the desserts. The owners Sonia and Sean are the best!“

“Great food, delicious drinks, excellent atmosphere, and best staff around!“

“Ate there last night and sat outside. Never rushed but attentive. They make wonderful drinks. My wife was not fond of something she tried. They happily replaced. Consistently delish. Pride evident“

“We stopped for an early meal which was delightful. The mussels and side salad were perfect. The fish and chips were tender and delicious. It would be interesting to have a full entree as our selections were pretty good. I didn’t like sitting at a table so close to another table but there were other options.“

“Blackstrap is my GO TO for bbq, neighborhood vibes, live music, darts, etc. The staff is so fun, the food and drinks are amazing, it’s comfortable and chill but you still get great service and food/drink. The owners are super hands on and always there, and are such nice and cool people. Definitely recommend, especially for their live music nights! Nothing else like it around here!“

“Great food accompanied by great service definitely be back!!“

“This was a great spot to bring the family for dinner. The littlest one in our group has dairy and egg allergies and the manager ensured us that her food would safe for her. A&B had a good feel about it and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We would recommend to anyone looking for a good place to eat.“

“So good!! One of my favorite spots in Salem. Creative and fun pizza menu. Super cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend:)“

“Excellent meal, nice people, latin music, and they humored me using my limited Spanish. Muy sabrosa la comida! 5 stars.“

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

“Great food accompanied by great service definitely be back!!“

“Great food, fun, and drinks!“

“So people have raved about this place so I had to give it a try. It seems a bit hyped up, in my opinion. Got the chicken parmesan. It was a butterflied chicken breast, pounded thin on a thin layer of marinara sauce. $28. It just wasn't that flavorful. Got a Cesar salad to start, $13, (very good tasting) and then the least expensive chardonnay $14. So the meal was $55. Portions of the chicken were adequate, but instead of the Ziti on the same plate, it came on the side, and the portions seemed rather small. Service was prompt but, the atmosphere was quite loud. Music blaring and diners trying to talk over it. Very busy place. Some nice bread was brought, water served, but we weren't offered and more bread with our meal. That would have been a nice touch. Total for 4 meals and six glasses of wine was $243 without tip. Nice place, but I can think of several alternatives just as good for much less. To be fair, I should have tried something more interesting and complex. Maybe I will make the trip again, just seems very pricey for what I got.“

“The food here is always delicious. But we just went for drinks and to dance. This is a Dominican spot that converts to a club vibe on the weekends. I always enjoy myself at El Molinos. The DJ understood the assignment. It is an older crowd and the music was on point. There aren't enough spots that cater to Gen X. I was happy ?.“

“Love the food and the costumer service“
