The Babe 268 Washington St, Salem Bar • $$

“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!!”

Bambolina 288 Derby St, Salem Pizza • $$

“After living in Salem for a few years, I have no idea how we’ve never been to Bambolina before—but we finally fixed that mistake with Valentine's Day dinner, and wow, were we missing out! This cozy, locally owned spot serves up incredible wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas with a perfectly charred, airy crust. My wife went for the Black Truffle Pizza, an indulgent mix of ricotta, mozzarella, provolone, and pecorino, topped with delicate shavings of black truffle. Decadent, rich, and full of deep, earthy flavor—it was perfection. I had the Salmon Donburi Bowl, which was just as phenomenal. The pan-seared salmon was tender and flavorful, resting on fragrant jasmine rice with seasoned wakame, crisp cucumber, and spicy marinated mushrooms. The sesame ginger mirin gochujang sauce tied it all together beautifully—bold, savory, and just the right amount of heat. And then…dessert...oh my gods... The Chocolate Spuma was an absolute dream—silky dark chocolate mousse topped with cloud-like Chantilly cream. It was light yet intensely chocolatey, the kind of dessert that disappears way too fast but lingers in your memory. To top it all off, the service was next level—attentive, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. I forgot her name (sorry!) but she's one of the best servers we've ever had. Period. We left feeling full, happy, and already planning our next visit.”

“this bar with the arcade is cool. I like the vintage games a lot. however, these bartenders suck. they don't know how to serve multiple people at a time. there's two events going on tonight so busy. I waited about five to ten minutes for literally just a today refill. and yes two people walked past as I flagged them down.”

Museum Cafe 150 Essex St, Salem Cafe • $$

“Very reasonably priced museum cafe! The tables are in the airy, beautiful atrium. The quiche portion was small, but the sandwiches and falafel wrap were tasty and a good value. (Photos include a Turkey BLT with no veggies, falafel wrap, and quiche). They have lots of drink choices as well.”

“Mia our was not only our cashier but she also took our order. She was kind and had a great smile. We thank God for her which is a reminder that each person can make such a difference. The best example is Jesus who demonstrated God’s love when he came to earth to die for your and my sins in the cross and by believing in him you would not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16”

“Came during a ladies trip in August. On our first day, we stopped by for lunch and drinks. The food was fresh and tasty. The drinks were cold and were made perfectly by the bartender. (espresso martinis were 💯) The next morning we tried their breakfast and it also did not disappoint. We sat outside both days, but the inside is beautiful and has murals on the walls. Staff were attentive and polite, I Highly recommend!”
