My husband and I went for date night tonight and the food was okay, we were a little disappointed. I got the NY strip and the bordelaise tasted like the wine hadn't been reduced much, if at all, before the other ingredients were added. Beautiful texture, harsh flavor. The steak also mostly tasted like char. I don't usually mind char but it was a bit much. On the plus side, the cook on it was dead on med rare and it was super tender. My husband got the fettuccine and the sauce was really, really oily. Like i couldn't even identify it was a cream sauce it was so oily. The chicken also tasted mostly like char.
The best item we got? The truffle puff. Fantastic. 10/10. The bread was perfectly crisp but still pillowy, the sauce was rich and delicious, every element was fantastic.

We came to Salem to support a friend and her husband during body building state championships at the Salem Convention Center. She suggested we try the restaurant that’s connected to the hotel they’re staying at and to the center. Bentleys.
It was around 6:30 on a Saturday night. Not too busy in the dining room yet. There was a 40 top in the other room though. Hostess accommodated us with seating.
Our waitress seemed friendly enough. We were her fourth table and I’m not sure if she had the 40 top but saw her and others running stuff to them.
I ordered the Alfredo and the Caesar salad. At first, I loved the salad. Once I wrapped my head around it being served in 4 wedges. I got to the last wedge and noticed movement. A worm, larvae, maggot, something dropped out from the end of the salad. Like it had been in the dressing and it crawled its way out. The waitress hadn’t been back to the table since taking the order so I had this worm thing just crawling around my plate and my fork. Less and less appealing. I’m finally able to wave her over.
At first, she didn’t see it. But it was literally moving so yeah, you see it. I was offered another salad 😅😂 yeah big fat nope. This was the last wedge. I’d already eaten three of them. Who knows how many of these worms/larvae were in those. I’m pregnant and can’t even eat deli meat. An unknown worm/larvae/parasite I could’ve possibly ingested.
She said she told the chef (not the manager) and he said they get fresh lettuce every 2 days and they do rinse it but things happen. She took the salad off the bill and offered free dessert. No manager ever came to the table. This is THEE barest minimum offer for this level.
The entrees came. Alfredo was dry and it had a broccoli thing on top I was actually looking forward to trying when I ordered it, but I definitely was not eating anything green from this place. Boxed most of it as I was paying for it and I probably won’t be eating it. Got a chocolate cake free dessert. My four year old loved that. Thank you.
So I do not recommend the salad here. Nor have any faith in the management, if they were even told. Ironically the bill was $86… please 86 the worms. Have a video too, can’t upload it here though.

My wife's birthday 66th and our 40th anniversary decided on Bentleys but disappointed in the outcome. Arrived @ 430 pm and noted we were the ONLY customers I ordered the short ribs and my wife ordered the cod. The short ribs were ok but the gnocchi with mushrooms the gnocchi was doughy/chewy and the mushrooms likely canned making the entire dish for 44.00 forgettable except the price. My wife's cod tasted spoiled to me as it was way to fishy and she didn't want to eat it and since it was her birthday just didn't want me to complain. We ordered two desserts barely ate the flourless cake and really thin creme brulee total $ 109.75 .....Last time for Bentley's

While a little expensive, the food was well worth it. My party said they had the best seafood Alfredo of their life and the burger was amazing. I only had a drink which was great. Greg and Jeremiah took care of us and really added to the experience.
Rude, and the tea was not good. The only reason I came in is, because the good coffee shops were closed. Won’t be coming back.

I had dinner with a friend, and we had a reserved table/booth. We were greeted by a waitress with black hair in a ponytail, but unfortunately, her service did not meet the high standards expected at a restaurant of this level. She repeatedly asked if she could take our plates, even though we were still eating. Eventually, after so many interruptions, I just gave up and let her take my food. She was absolutely annoying and unprofessional. My friend did the same. I had salmon, and he had steak.
Additionally, she never refilled our water, and I had to ask for it despite it being obvious (empty glasses) She brought us a check yet never offered us dessert—we had to get up and ask the bartender to send someone over with a dessert menu. Overall, I was very disappointed with the low level of customer service.

the food was mediocre at best , kids had chicken strips that looked so unhealthy - frozen fried batter Found hair in one of the dishes ( the waitress did ask to redo it but most of us were done with our food and the hair ruined the appetite) . She still put the meal with the hair in on the bill. 175 plus tip for mediocre food

The food is definitely overpriced for being not that great and small portions. The atmosphere is great but probably won’t be returning.
