I'm pretty consistent in ordering the athena bowl with rare salmon, and they always get it right (not everyone does!). They also have great wings and burgers. Also great bartenders and servers, and they outdid themselves recently when we ordered takeout, usual fare, and the salmon was overcooked (gasp). When I called them to let them know, not that i really expected them to do anything, it seems the order-taker had erroneously said "well cooked," hence the clear error. They credited us for the entire order, which far exceeded expectation - very classy!! Well played, Rev Kitchen! :)

Really ideal ambiance. I like everything I've tried here, which has included the passport grilled chicken sandwich, burger, fries, power bowl, and house-broth ramyeon. They have so many options, anyone in your party would be happy with their selection of seafood, meat, vegetarian, pasta & more options. I ordered their harvest bowl which was really delicious, however the steak comes cold and i was charged $3 for not a lot of sweet potato, I would have preferred more sweet potato. I have now dined in once to get their house-broth ramyeon which is absolutely delicious. Their water is filtered with lemon & mint, and the restaurant is so pretty with white tablecloths for a "casual" experience with amazing food. passport grilled chicken sandwich 10/10 cheeseburger 9/10 fries 10/10 power bowl 8.8/10 house-broth ramyeon 10/10 Henry is back!

First thing I saw was a lady took the spent coffee brew basket, stuck it inside the trash barrel…read moreand banged it side to side to empty it. Then directly put a new filter in and brewed a new pot. Worst thing was that the waitstaff use the glasses to get ice directly from the ice bin. Not a scoop. We were there just over an hour at the bar. We saw it happen at least a dozen times. Beer was flat. Got a water that was brown from the coke that was poured immediately beforehand. Lots of empty glasses while staff leaned or were on phones. Heard the kitchen dinging the bell that food was ready and they were ignored for almost 5 minutes. Food no longer optimal. We didn't eat so no idea about food. Didn't look great going by. Bartender coughed into glasses. And directly into hands then immediately made drinks. Great location. Staff is checked out. Made me sad.

Food was solid and the drinks were on point. Everything came out pretty quick and most of the staff was friendly. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars: the vibe was a little creepy (which I know is kind of the point in Salem lol), and the boy who seated us was honestly pretty rude and made the first impression weird. That said, I'd still go back because the food/drinks and overall atmosphere are worth it -- just hoping the service/hosting is better next time.

The restaurant is deceptively large with a pleasant atmosphere. Service was prompt even on a busy Saturday evening and our server was enthusiastic about the food. I had the goat burger, which was absolutely loaded with goat cheese. I appreciate that they are generous, so be forewarned it is a delicious and messy situation. I also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were terrific. I snuck bites of my husbands truffle fries, which were also super good. My husband ate every bite of his sea salt burger, which he reported was very good between bites. Also worth noting that the burger patties were gigantic. We finished up dinner with an Irish coffee. Yum! Overall, this is a really good choice for dinner. I'd definitely recommend stopping by here for a meal if you're in the area.

We recently went for my sister's birthday while I was in town. The building is starting to look a bit rundown (note the missing windows above the main entrance) and there is quite a bit of staining on the ceiling, apparently from water leaks. The wait staff was great, and we all like the salad bar and the bread and cheese that you cut yourself. The entrees, however, were disappointing. The meat on three of our four orders was overcooked (my nephew's medium rare steak was burned and charred on the outside), and three of the four sides (steamed vegetables and rice) were served ice cold. I ordered the baked scallop and steak combo and the scallops were delicious, but my medium steak was well done, and my vegetables were cold. By the time they brought out replacement vegetables and rice, we were already almost halfway through our meals. I used to love coming here when I was younger when the wait staff dressed in overalls and hats like train engineers. This place definitely needs a makeover to get it back to the fine dining experience it used to be.

We just went in and dropped a worthy $80 on lunch - 2 tequila mules, a special of buffalo bites (if u are lucky and these are on special again - order them!). Chicken kabob sandwich - juicy, perfectly grilled chicken and my husband got the mouth-watering pastrami sandwich. We packed half of it up for dinner tonight. I only gave 4 stars due to the lousy, noisy, raunchy bar flies. They couldn't care less about other customers as they were shouting and cussing away. Having a conversation with my husband was impossible. The bartender, who was 5 stars in her service to us, attempted to remind these people to stop yelling. I understand being a local, as I am one, and it makes me want to keep my favorite places in business. However, disruptive and rude bar flies should be shut out ff earlier and asked to leave or at the very least pipe down. Ultimately, I highly recommend anyone local or out of town to try The Tin Whistle for the food and service. Maybe try one of the tall comfy wooden booths would make for a better atmosphere.
