The food was pretty good but the service was not. Seems like a pretty nice place overall but haven’t gone back since.

We popped in on a Saturday afternoon to grab some lunch. It was quiet and we sat at the bar. Salads all around along with a couple of custom cocktails.
The food was good as were the drinks. The bartender was very attentive.

I visited from Chicago and decided to try the Lobster Roll as I had never had one. It was amazing! I got a spicy mango margarita cocktail that’s as also very delicious. The Server was attentive and friendly and offered suggestions. She even gave me tips on going in and out of Salem and recommend things in the area. The patio was also very pretty.

We recently hosted a company party at The Beacon. We couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! The food was exceptional, offering a delicious variety that impressed all our guests. The armor was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for our event. The owners, chef, and ataff went above and beyond, ensuring everything went smoothly from start to finish. Their professionalism and attention to detail made it a true pleasure to work with them. I highly recommend The Beacon for both private events and dining. It was a fantastic experience and we look forward to returning in the future!

The Sunday Jazz Brunch at "The Beacon" is the perfect way to relax and unwind on a lazy Sunday morning. The food and drinks are both great and affordable, and the staff definitely cares about giving you a great laid-back dining experience. We usually order either eggs Benedict or the huge turkey club. The turkey club is the best because there are always leftovers to bring home to our chubby lab, Parker. If you are in the Marblehead/Salem area, you should give the Beacon a try.

We enjoyed an amazing meal and had some great live music. The server Shayna was fantastic. I understand she’s new, but she seemed like she had been here forever. Great food. We’ll be back.

My wife and I recently visited The Beacon and were blown away by the entire experience.
The food was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish we ordered was expertly prepared, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and an impressive balance of flavors.
We sat at the bar and the service was top-notch. Our bartender, Shayna, was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made excellent recommendations and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout the meal without being intrusive. It's clear that she puts customer satisfaction as a top priority.
The combination of outstanding food, impeccable service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes The Beacon a standout dining destination. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier restaurant experience.

Crab cakes are very small and the worst tasting that we’ve ever had. Haddock was fair, couldn’t eat the spinach, rice was good. Is pricey. Service was good
