Best Seafood Restaurants in Salem

my boyfriend and I went for an anniversary and I was lovely!! they have free valet when you arrive, we walked in and were immediately and warmly greeted by the host. they wished us a happy anniversary and even though we were almost 30 min early they were able to seat us after only 1 min. we got a booth and the ambiance was perfect; cozy low lighting (I could still read the menu though), lots of beautiful wood, and red accents. the entire staff was kind and welcoming. our server was perfect and just what you’d want/expect from an established steak house (professional, knowledgeable, nice, and anticipatory). we got crab cakes as an app (comes with two- very pricy) and the sauce that came with them was delicious (almost a sweet and sour sauce). my bf ordered a martini and it was perfect. I ordered the Paula Shultz and it was sweet and refreshing and yummy. they gave us complimentary warm bread rolls with butter which would have been amazing but they were very salty. same room!! I got the 8oz filet mignon and it was so tender and amazing! I ordered it with garlic mashed potatoes which were also soooo well done!! my bf got the rib eye and it was juicy, tender, and flavorful. the fries that came with his steak were really good and came with ketchup and a fry sauce that I loved. they surprised us with a complimentary crème brûlée for our anniversary and it was incredible (made with real vanilla bean). all in all it was exactly what we wanted; rustic, classic, and delectable!! definitely very expensive but worth it for a special occasion. I can’t wait to return!!

i dont remember the chefs name or any of the staffs but genuinely had a blast with my partner, the whole time we basically was talking about the warm feeling that was brought to us by the staff trully magnificent

Was great very busy due to Valentines day but excuted very nicely sufficient staff to carry the weight our server Isiah was awesome kept up with all his tables and managed to come around and make sure everything was good or if we needed anything Cudos to you all for such a busy night we'll done ✔️

First time visiting for Valentines dinner. I had a reservation for 5 pm but was late due to weather. Arrived at 5:15 and was quickly seated by a friendly staff member. Our server arrived within minutes to provide water and get an appetizer going. He was very polite and efficient even though the restaurant was totally booked. Also took our drink order. Both came back quickly. We ordered the calamari which was excellent, as well as the Pinot wine. We ordered the Chicken Cordon Blue and the Blacked Tuna. Both these dishes were outstanding and would order again. The portions were good size with fresh asparagus and the fish came with a large portion of rice and a beautiful sauce on top. The chicken came with mashed potatoes and another great sauce. Can’t say enough about this food and the atmosphere of the restaurant ! The building is warm and cozy and beautiful with brick walls and wood beams and sky lights! The noise level was nonexistent. I could not hear conversation from other tables. All and all this is a Diamond in the rough in Salem. The staff runs like a well oiled machine. I encourage everyone to dine here. The only thing I wished was that they offered a dessert since it was the V day. This place will become a favorite for us. Cheers

Excellent seafood, tasty inventive ingredients, and very good, attentive servers in a nice atmosphere. Very reasonable prices make Red Lobster a great choice. Plus those biscuits!
