Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Salem

For my personal taste I find the food a bit spicy for me. Some sauce and spice could be put on the side or omitted but a lot was incorporated in the dish

We took our family to Buckley's for an after Christmas fine dining experience. It was wonderful! We were guided to our table upon entry to this beautiful spot. The decor is lovely: black and white upholstery on chairs and bolsters. Bluish-green walls and white trimmed woodwork. It is a very lovely place. We had the best waitress who was very conversational and friendly. She was a sommelier, as well and was very knowledgeable discussing wines with our two sons who really know wines. They picked out two bottles during the evening that were perfect for my tastes. She was also very attentive and moved the meal at a perfect speed. Our food was wonderful. We had a few starters--sourdough bread with chive butter and fried artichoke hearts. Very tasty and different. The entrees were the perfect size--not too much food. My son's steak was just right, my scallops dish was just what I wanted, my husband's salmon was delicious. Our other sons loved their meals, too. And desserts were fabulous!

We had a very good time at Don’s and the staff are fantastic. The food was good but when they say the potato horseradish pancakes are spicy, they ARE! Wish they weren’t. Good food and the shakes are delicious. Out of towners but we’ll be back! Definitely fun.

No contest, best Italian in the city! Impossible to pick just one favorite item on the menu!

There was a group of 6 of us for dinner before the Pentatonic show. The service was great and the food was delicious. They have the best baked French onion soup!! Their smash burger, Brussel sprouts and chicken wrap were very tasty too. I would definitely eat there again!
