Best Casual Restaurants in Salem

Great food. Really great spot. I will say the DanDan Noodles were not good at all. They had way too much what seemed like allspice which was highly unpleasant. The fried rice really fantastic even though some were a little scorched because the rice was probably too hot when they cooked the rice. The pork dumplings were simply out. Of. This. World. The single best thing I have tasted. Will def be back when we’re in Milwaukee again soon.

Love Onesto. Most recently went for a birthday and they went above and beyond with a signed card from the staff and complementary dessert. Will 1000% be back!

Lovely ladies lunch before play at Skylight theater. Sean, our server, was so attentive and personable. Food was delicious and cooked to order.

We had an amazing time at Carbon Steak and will be going back in the future! The ambiance of the place was upscale and modern. We were there on a Tuesday so it wasn't too busy but still felt lively. Megan our server and the gentleman who I assume is the manager (didn't catch his name) were both outstanding. Attentive without being overbearing. The little extras like the braised rib bite and the vodka with the caviar were excellent touches. The food was incredible. Bone-In Rib Eye was cooked to perfection and so flavorful. The Spicy Radiatori lived up to it's name and was delicious. Cocktails, Wine and dessert were all great and if you like Espresso Martini's get one here!

Dinner with friends. First time here. Was looking forward to the veal as it was one of my favorites at the old Giovanni’s. Veal Parmesan was every bit as good! Eggplant appetizer was excellent and canola for dessert crispy, creamy and delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meal. Definitely want to come back.
