   Great location in Salem; close to everything; adjacent to Holman Hotel and the conference center. The staff was great. We were seated promptly on a Friday night and Courtney, our server was attentive and charming. Drinks arrived on time; wine selection is limited but delicious. The menu choices were unusual. I enjoyed the Farro arugula salad with goat cheese. My partner ordered the baby back ribs with Korean glaze, kimchi and potato salad. I found the flavor of his meal too hot and spicy to enjoy.

   Great place, great food, great service. We had the 4-course dinner with wine pairings. No complaints other than the courses came pretty fast. We felt a little rushed.

   It was amazing . I didn’t really like the vegan roasted vegetables but I was the only one that didn’t like their meal - that happens! We had a wedding party of 9 and every one was very accommodating! Everyone else loved the appetizers and meals. I would recommend this restaurant for sure! I will come back and try a different dish! Thanks for making our evening special!

   I don't set high standards for restaurants in hotels, understandably they can be overpriced and short on ambience. This was our first time here, and we were pleasantly surprised by the friendly and attentive staff. There was not many people there when we visited but I couldn't help but wonder what the noise level would be like with a bar full of travelers. The menu was somewhat limited but well thought out and everything we ordered was available. Food presentation was nice and perfectly cooked. We will be back!

   The ambiance and service were excellent. Food was awful. We couldn't even eat half. Food had no flavor, rueben was burnt, fries tasted like they were fried with other food. With better food, this restaurant has great potential.

   This was my first time dining here and my husband and I wanted to kick back and relax with some cocktails and shareable plates. Our server was amazing and so attentive. She was always checking in to see if we needed anything. We both ordered pasta and his bolognese was delicious as was my gnocchi. The pear cake at the end is not to be missed. A generous portion for at least 2. We were there for about 3 hours just relaxing and visiting with each other after a hectic week and our long stay was not a problem at all. We will definitely come back here again! Great ambience too.

   Excellent cocktails. Outstanding crab cakes. Arancini were also very fine.

    We were kind of disappointed since Nekia’s focus is supposed to be quality NW food. We went for Christmas Day dinner and ordered the holiday special of prime rib. The waitress didn’t ask how we wanted it but we caught it. I asked for medium rare, husband asked for medium. They both were basically the same. Somewhat overcooked for prime rib, like it had been warmed in the oven. Disappointing for the price.
