I’m not a Salem local anymore, but had heard and read about this spot, so had dinner on my last trip back. It did not disappoint. The food and service was amazing. I know this is a spot I will return to

Cozy never disappoints. Sitting at the Chefs table is so much fun. We spend most of the time saying “what’s that” so we can try it next time. A restaurant of this quality has been a long time coming. Thank you Lois and Rex.

Food was wonderful - we tried 7 different items with our friends and enjoyed all of them! We sat downstairs because it is quieter. Service was great!
