“I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Settler, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The Mediterranean food was incredible, bursting with bold flavors that truly reflected the season. The Yellowfin Tuna was cooked to perfection, and the Mazz platter was a delightful assortment of tastes and textures that left me wanting more. The service was impeccable, making the evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience!”

“Fantastic brewery. We randomly stumbled across Notch while strolling and around Salem. Had some fantastic beer and a lovely cheese board. Very pleasant staff. Great beer garden.”

“First time dining at Ledger tonight and we absolutely loved it. The food was wonderful (we both got the Cod special and it was incredible) and the servers were very friendly and accommodating. The martinis were very good. We sat at the bar and will definitely be back!”

“May have had one of the BEST birthday cakes we have ever! We ordered it from out of town on a suggesting and could not have been happier with it. This Boston Cream cake was out of this world!”

“Mushroom pizza with garlic fudge is mind blowing!!! Love the Mushrooms they use and porcine cream. I have never tasted anything like it. The owner gave my husband a slice for me to try
because my husband said I like the mushrooms they use when i would order cheese with half mushrooms. My husband had the porchetta with pickled peppers and he loved it too! Great pizza!!!!!!!!”

“this place is my #1 favorite place to get food! cheese curds, pizza, chopped italian, chicken cheese stake, whatever you are craving they got something to satisfy!”

“Yummy cookies, served warm!”

“Kokeshi is in residency with Bambolina (a wood-fired pizza joint, also delicious) and it's perfect! My husband and I (and our puppy, Dexter) stopped in for lunch on Wednesday and were treated to a wonderful meal with an awesome server and comfortable outdoor seating. I had the Spicy White Kimchi Ramen and my husband had the Margherita pizza. Both were amazing! I highly recommend stopping in when in Salem!”

“The witches wand and ectoplasmic latte were both excellent. Had a small line but service was quick and friendly. Would recommend.”

“Went to On the Grind this morning after seeing a post about them having a coconut bagel. The ladies behind the counter are very nice and know each of their regular customers. I watched them greet many and knew exactly what they were going to order or already had a preorder waiting. I ordered the coconut bagels for my son and I. One with regular cream cheese and one with pineapple cream cheese and they did not disappoint!!! The coconut bagel with pineapple was delicious and not overly sweet and lots of toasted coconut. Highly recommend trying this little hidden gem!”

“Absolutely incredible food and great chefs! There were 9 of us that all ordered different things and we all raved and wanted to share with each other, but our portions were all so filling. Wish we weren’t traveling because I’d want this place in my neighborhood!”

“We stumbled upon Georgia’s Pizza. It was truly amazing!! We came back 2 days later for more !!”

“Dying to go back and try the peanut butter and jelly. The cocktail menu is beyond impressive! Had the fried green tomato BLT and it was probably one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had”

“April’s II is a wonderful restaurant with a very friendly staff, great food with huge portions and reasonable prices. Special Thanks to Yulana our very friendly waitress.”

“some of the more creative and better pizzas in the area. a wide variety of sandwiches, wraps and subs, plus salads and dinners (pasta or rice). what's not to like? love the melanzane and the shrimp scampi pizzas, but other combinations are good too (plus MYO, of course).”

“Thanks so much for an excellent dinner! The pork with gorgonzola cream sauce was recommended by Madison and I'm so happy I followed her suggestion! Perfectly cooked pork with a rich but not to "blue" cream sauce. Plenty of food for dinner plus the leftovers which will be lunch this weekend! My vegetarian wife ordered the leek and mushroom ravioli and she was in heaven too. Lastly if you are a fan of German Hefeweisen beer, grab the Tucher, prob the best authentic Hefe I've ever had!”

“Best bar in Salem! All Souls is a fun and safe environment for all. It’s an actual bar/lounge that serves fun bar food and snacks. Lots of vegan options and tasty classic cocktails with a sick jukebox and fun records for all to play.”

“i got the salad. it’s so gooodsdsd especially with the wrap. the chicken in the salad is so good. but if they had lemon lime gatorade it would be 100x better (or gatorade overall)”

“Great lunch (Crabcake Sandwich) among friends with a perfect view of the Atlantic!

“The food and the PEOPLE at The Derby make every visit a lovely experience.”

“it's a great place and a great bar. unfortunately the people performing whatever they thought they were performing was god awful to the point where we left as soon as we were done paying for our food. I'm all for representation of different communities but that doesn't mean what they were doing was good”

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available but not all are labeled.”

The staff was so incredibly friendly, the food and drink was delicious, the cafe was whimsical and dreamy, and it is so, SO obvious how much they care about their community. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Salem!”

“If I make it back to this area I’ll definitely be coming back here. The food was delicious, but the chai latte was my favorite. The staff was very friendly and very helpful answering any questions I had about the menu and just the area of Salem in general. Loved the atmosphere the morning I was there. It was a little busy, but there wasn’t a wait. I found a table easily, got my order quickly, and enjoyed the vibe.”

The service was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. The food was the highlight, with every dish crafted to perfection; the flavors were bold and the presentation was impeccable. The attention to detail was evident, from the quality of the ingredients to the beautifully plated dishes. Highly recommend Crave for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in Beverly. A definite 5-star gem!”

“This is a great no frills option for NY style pizza in Salem! The mall it sits in is extremely dated & gross, but this individual restaurant was well taken care of & both the food & service were wonderful. We had a large cheese pizza & drinks and ate there.”

“A little chaotic but to be fair it is prime witch season. Order drinks at one register and food at another. The burger and loaded fries are fantasticly worth the chaos. Schodingers cat was my choice of beer and loved it. My go to beer is a lager”

“there used to be this really hot barista who worked here he had like this really cute hat he wore and his eyes were so pretty and I wouldn't even order anything I'd just stand at the counter and stare into his beautiful eyes like woah he was so pretty I would sometimes imagine giving him a chaste kiss on his delicate barista cheek and then I'd get embarrassed and run out, the food was alright I prefer dunks”

“The food is great, and the menu is so large that everyone finds something they like. The service was great. The woman at the counter was very friendly, especially to my kids. Delivery is good too, they were running a little behind so they threw in a complimentary 2 liter of Sprite! I ordered a large calzone because I wanted dinner tonight as well as lunch for work tomorrow. This calzone is HUGE! I can get a few days lunch out of it. I can’t image what the extra large must look like! Rizzo’s in Salem gets 5 stars from me all around. Thanks!”
