Restaurants near Salem Common

Once again our dining experience at the Hawthorne Tavern was outstanding and we loved the ambiance. The servers were nice and good at their jobs. All four of us at my table enjoyed our meals which were served promptly, even on a night when the Tavern was packed. I'd especially like to call-out Lori for taking such good care of us. My family, friends and I will be back.

My group of 4 had a reservation for a birthday dinner at 7:15. The hostess was very apologetic when they could not seat us right away as a previous table was not leaving. We ended up having to wait for our table for 35 minutes. In the mean time we got a drink at the bar. Everyone from the hostess to the wait staff to the sommelier was very apologetic but we didn't mind. Everyone more than made up for our wait with complementary appetizer and a drink. Our birthday celebration was great and all of the food and drink was phenomenal. The sommelier Scott spent extra time with us when we had questions about the wine and was very kind and informative! We will be returning soon!

Very good Italian food, well prepared with homemade fettuccine. There are a few South American touches on the menu thanks to Bolivian ownership including Bolivian and Peruvian empanadas -- a fine first course. Good wine list and well-made martinis. Service was excellent, the room comfortable. This was our third visit.

This was a very special birthday celebration and Finz was the perfect choice for it!

Em was a fabulous server. Food was delicious. Wines were good, not fantastic, but they grew on you. Fisherman’s Platter, fish and chips and lobster roll and clam strips were enjoyed by all. Overall a lovely evening.
