The best meal we had in Salem. We went on a Saturday night and made a reservation well in advance, and it was definitely needed as the place was packed. The popovers to start were excellent and unique, followed by the delicious mushroom pasta and a steak special. The kids loved their burgers too. Amazing wine list as well. Highly recommend.
This is my second time visiting Ledger, and I have not been disappointed. My partner and I enjoyed every bite of the food we ordered, and everything was very generous. The donut with its creamy and tasty filling was truly delicious. This place is highly recommended!
Ledger is a lively, vibrant restaurant with fantastic food and a buzzing atmosphere. Their wine list is excellent - definitely a treat for anyone who enjoys a good bottle. The menu is creative and upscale, with dishes that are both delicious and skillfully executed. Flavors are spot-on, and portions are generous. If you find yourself in Salem, Ledger should absolutely be on your list.
Went to the ledger while visiting Salem for my partners birthday ! It was a wonderful experience. The food , the drinks , our waitress Emma all exceptional. We went on a Friday in October 25’ and it was busy , but the seating is spaced out perfectly and they got the food out in a very timely manner as well as providing you with water as soon as you are seated and after walking those streets you are tired! The menu is small , but truly has something for everyone. They do the touch of Halloween / Salem PERFECTLY, nothing is lacking in flavor or design.
We went to Ledger for Valentine’s Day and had a fantastic experience. The only option was a 3-course meal, and every dish was excellent. The duck — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our waitress was wonderful, attentive without being pushy. We were seated in the function room, where tables were spaced out nicely, making for a quieter, more intimate atmosphere. Highly recommend for a special night out!
A superb brunch! Bartenders served us and they were attentive and fun. Beer choice solid and 22oz Bloody Mary was over the top. Strong recommendation for brunch and probably other meals here as well!!!
Our favorite meal during our Boston/Salem trip! Staff were amazing and accommodating. We were early and enjoyed drinks and mocktails at the bar. The pork dish was everyone’s favorite but the bisque, mushroom pasta dish and pink moon oysters were all excellent. They had lots of gluten free options. I have celiac disease and had the bisque and pork and no reactions.
This place was so cool. It’s a converted bank into a restaurant. So the decor was really cool. The food was pretty good. We had got a bunch of stuff and shared it all. We shared the cheese board which was amazing we also got extra jam. And then we got the shrimp which had a weird flavor and then we shared the Brussel sprouts and the skirt steak. I thought it was all very good. I got excited that a beer had my name in it only to realize later it was non alcoholic. So that was fun lol We were sat in another section not the main area which I didn’t love but the service was still good
The food and drinks were exceptional. I started with the tuna tartare, which was so delicious I glady would have eaten it a second time for my entree. It had just the right amount of spice, excellent flavors, and the taro chips made it a clean dish to eat with clean presentation as shown in the photo. I enjoyed the pork belly starter for my entree, which was a phenomenal combination of flavors and also very well plated. Both starter portions were generous, but manageable. As someone with extensive bartending experience, I must highly recommend the Bruja Morada cocktail. A simple, but incredibly flavorful and well balanced beverage, with only 4 ingredients, counting the orchid that was tastefully used a garnish. My only complaint is that our service felt very rushed, and we repeatedly had to ask for more time, as we were there to enjoy a lovely meal and take our time. That being said, the overall experience was excellent, and I will absolutely visit again.
Definitely the best place we've eaten in Salem. We made reservations a few weeks in advance and came for dinner and brunch. Dinner: The burger and fries were delicious and everything perfectly seasoned. No notes. Devilish Diva was a fun, spicy drink. Brunch: The vegetable hash had a lightly dressed salad and roasted vegetables with sunny side up eggs. Both were great. Check on the daily donut, the fudge glazed was fine, but would pass next time. Overall, would definitely come back.
