Very good selection of drinks and appetizers. The shrimp here is excellent and so are the fries very crispy with that old bay seasoning. This place has the best bread in Salem hands-down as well. A very good time with good vibes good tunes and very good food.

Great views. Very friendly staff. Food was good, especially the clam chowder and fried oysters.read more

The restaurant wasn't full, so we had no wait at all. Service was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. And the churros--wow! You have to get them. So simple, yet so good.

The chicken tacos were also juicy and delicious, and the calamari were very nicely flavored and crisp, and come with a mildly spicy sauce. I will definitely be back soon.

It was a…read morecelebratory dinner and we ordered a bunch of things off the menu and everything tasted fresh and great. For starters, we tried a mushroom flatbread and soup. I liked that the flatbread was really flat and not doughy. The soup was also really creamy and tasty. The toddler enjoyed the meatballs that was one of the appetizers. For the mains, we tried the filet mignon, oven roasted sea bass, and cedar plank roasted salmon. All were good and tasted light and healthy. We also got a side of brussel sprouts and truffled risotto. The risotto was a bit too rich and creamy for my taste, but my family enjoyed it. We each ended the meal with our own little desserts. I like that they bring out a display of all of the desserts and everyone got to indulge in their own choices and not feel guilty :)

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by live crabs on display, which definitely adds to the experience. That said, it was surprisingly warm inside, so we opted to sit outside where there were plenty of tables and a much more comfortable breeze. Taking a look at the menu, the lobster rolls were... pretty steep. We decided to share one and round it out with a few sides--clam chowder, potato salad, a jumbo crab cake, and 2 cans of soda. For everything we ordered, the total came out to around $90, which definitely made us pause for a moment. Overall, I'm glad we went this route of sharing a The lobster roll, while decent, didn't quite justify the ~$40 price tag for its size. It felt more like we were paying for the location and "Boston experience" than the flavor itself. The standouts for me were actually the sides--the crab cake was flavorful with a nice texture, and the clam chowder was rich, creamy, and comforting. All in all, it checked the "first lobster roll in Boston" box, but I was very happy we only ordered one to share. Sometimes the touristy spots are more about the experience than the wow factor--and this felt like one of those moments.
