“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!“

“Amazing atmosphere and delicious food“

“We had the best experience yesterday at Olde Main Street Pub. We sat outside and it was great people and dog watching. We started with the curry fries, which we had never had but the server encouraged the choice..it was delicious. I had salmon with summer succotash and my husband loved the curry so much, he ordered the veggie pub curry with chicken. Service was fantastic, very friendly, polite and informative. We will definitely come back.“

“If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I absolutely would. It was PERFECT in every way, shape, and form. This goes down as one of my favorite restaurants EVER. After a fun and busy day exploring Salem, my friend and I came here to eat. I started off with a cup of clam chowder. It really hit the spot, especially in the cold weather. It was truly high quality clam chowder. For the main meal, I got the lobster mac and cheese. Y’all. Please listen. This is the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had in my entire life, and no I’m not exaggerating. It was SO cheesy and SO creamy, I kept eating it until I was beyond full. I’ve never had mac and cheese this incredible before in my life. I went straight to the mac and cheese heavens nonstop. It did something to me I can’t explain. Literally the perfect mac and cheese. I’ll be thinking about it for the rest of my life. My friend ordered the lobster grilled cheese, and she was in love as well. She went straight to the grilled cheese heavens. We were both the most satisfied we have ever been at any restaurant. The lobster pieces in our mac and cheese and grilled cheese were very fresh and tasty. Also, the servers were all incredibly sweet and friendly. Truly wonderful service. If you are in Salem at any point, you must try this place. You need to. No exceptions. I can’t wait to come back in the future and try everything else!!“

“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“
