    Food was okay. Portions above average. Service pleasant and accurate but drinks and dishes took too long to deliver.

    Ledger is a regular for us when we get together as a family. It is also reliably one of the best dinner spots in Salem. The standouts are the service, the wine list, and the quality of the food preparation. My only suggestion would be to change the menu more frequently as it has been the same menu for many years.

    Food was fabulous, they had some great specials on a Wednesday night. Enjoyed the open bar area. I celebrated a birthday with my nephew and they brought out desert with a candle with hand written Happy Birthday frosting on the plate it was served on. I had mentioned in the reservation we were celebrating a birthday but I didn't mention after we placed our order, even I was surprised!

    Ledger’s Sunday Hip Hop Brunch never disappoints! Great vibe for every demographic. Food and service is always a ten! Best bar team on the N Shore.

    Food was okay. Service was poor. Server was rude & did not engage. We felt like we were bothering her and she didn’t want to be there.

    Not sure why with the room half empty on a Sunday evening at 6 that the hostess tried to seat us at a tiny table in a high traffic area but our decision to move to the bar was a good one. Service at the bar was excellent. Cocktails outstanding. Popover app worth making the drive into Salem. Entrees, salmon and the pork osso bucco, plentiful and prepared very well. Only regret was not making it to the delicious looking dessert menu. Next time.

    Charlie, Thank you for your review! I am pleased you enjoyed your experience and I do hope you visit us again to try our dessert menu as well! Warm regards, Annie

    We went for The Ledger for brunch. The food and service were outstanding. It's a popular restaurant and the place was packed. Not surprisingly the volume level was high. The brunch choices were varied and hearty. I really enjoyed the biscuits, gravy and sausage. With a cup of jo and a Mimosa--the perfect Sunday brunch. Bravo!

    John, Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! I am so pleased you enjoyed everything and we look forward to you joining us again soon! Warm regards, Annie
