Best Bars And Lounges in Salem

We had our first experience at I.D. for Valentine’s Day: Parker was our server and he was outstanding- as well as the rest of the staff. We took his recommendations for food and drinks and our experience was refreshing and so enjoyable. The food was impeccable and creative- we highly recommend the Venison Carpaccio and pheasant. The level of customer service as a whole was amazing and something we haven’t experienced in a while- and we dine out quite a bit. The ambiance was beautiful, the food came out in a timely manner and we were absolutely delighted throughout the entire meal. We will absolutely be back again.

This is the second time coming to Blue Bat, the food is super yummy, poke nachos are a must! Our sever Bridget was awesome with accommodations and so sweet. We will definitely be coming again next time we are in town. :)

Went here for Valentine’s Day and it was lovely. The waitstaff were very on top of it, despite how busy it was, and our waitress gave a great recommendation for dessert. The food was also very good, if a bit limited on the options. It was definitely very loud in there as a holiday, and open-concept so not much blockage towards it, but overall still had a fantastic time. Would go again!

Our bartender/server was so nice and attentive, offering wonderful suggestions when we were having trouble deciding. The atmosphere was mellow and clean and comfortable. We'll definitely be back.

The steak was very well cooked (medium rare but on the rarer side) and the potatoes were good. The bistro is in the lobby of the hotel, so it has the potential to be loud depending on the day. It was nice and quiet while I was there
