Best restaurants near me in Salem, NJ

I took my husband for his birthday, and it was just so amazing. The staff was lovely, the food was incredible! Our favorite dish was definitely the Elk Meatballs, they were tender and had an amazing flavor! The atmosphere was very nice. I would definitely take my husband back again for anything.

Another fabulous meal at La Fia; it's always fun to go with someone who hasn't been before, or only once or twice and get to see them experience all of the amazing food for the first time! As always, everything was absolutely outstanding: the focaccia with the honey butter is so addicting, I feel like I can't not order it now--same for the duck leg confit. I wasn't going to get it this time, and then someone else in our party was ordering it, and I knew I would wish I had ordered it when it arrived at the table for him! The pappardelle was incredible; all of us ordered it! And then we got the maple ice cream and the passion fruit sorbet for dessert, and both were excellent. Terrific cocktails as always, and the best service! The most wonderful place to have a meal that somehow manages to feel both informal and homey and special and chic at the same time (and love the holiday decor)! The best start to vacation!

What a lovely experience! The food quality was excellent. Every item was well prepared and tasty. There was WAY too much food and doggie bags were taken home for the next day. Our waiter was attentive and personable. I highly recommend!!

A mistake on my part started off badly but turned into a wonderful meal with a wonderful server ( wish I had gotten her name) and a most delicious meal with melt in your mouth filet of beef. Warning!!! There is Bardea Food and Drink and Bardea Steak!! Make sure you know which one your reservation is for! Our server saved the day with delicious options to make for a complete meal explaining each dish to our party of four and timed each course perfectly. We had theater tickets so were aware of the time and arrived to our show in plenty of time. Turned into a great experience and will definitely be aware of which BARDEA we’re dining at next time! Any item on the menu will be a true culinary delight!!

wonderful evening-- the 7 of us were in a separate room which made it very nice. Food was excellent--had salmon and it was done just to my liking. Desserts were wonderful--especially the bread pudding. Our waitress was exceptional, handling our group--didn't miss anything, very attentive. Lovely evening
