“Excellent food at a fair price in a friendly atmosphere. Most of my visits are for breakfast. I'm always in a hurry and they serve quickly. You feel like you are in a place where all the locals go. I intend to try their lunch menu and now hear they do dinners. Very affordable . Important to me since I am on Social Security. I highly recommend.“
“As all ways, visited all the time when I lived local. Visited the other day and the food has stayed consistent. BUT, the tarter sause has changed for the worse.The tarter sause tastes like it went bad.BRING YOUR OWN. It ruined the clam roll I ordered. The staff is aware of the issue but no plans to change.“
“10/10 Five Stars All the Accolades We had a group of 20- 13 kids and seven adults- and our service was TOP NOTCH. They seated us together right away. Brought our food out together and quickly. Understood that we had picky kids and worked with us every step of the way. The food is amazing. The cocktails were cute. The kids had root beer floats, so it was fun for them, too! I always come back because of their food, but their service has made this a staple of mine for every trip to Salem from now on!!“
“eating here is absolutely amazing the atmosphere and service is fantastic and the food is always so good regardless of what I get, if you want to understand what eating a sandwich from dina's is like imagine the most mind blowing jaw dropping head you've ever received and multiply it by ten “
“I really liked the food there. I ordered a paella and it was delicious. I also had a craft beer, very good!There are several options of dishes and drinks. The service was very friendly, but one of the requests was not initially met. It came out wrong and then they tried to correct it, but it ended up kind of the same.Everything else is perfect.Vegetarian options: Yes, there are vegetarian options like saladsDietary restrictions: It is possible to request options for people with dietary restrictionsKid-friendliness: Yes, there were children having lunch there“
“If you are thoughtful about when you eat there and adjust your expectations accordingly, it's a wonderful experience. This is in the heart of Tourist Salem, so understand the limitations of a tourist restaurant during the busy season. They run a very well organized kitchen but waitstaff will vary depending on the season and year. The head chef is nothing short of brilliant. The menu is thoughtful and inspired for the vast majority of potential diners. The line cooks range from competent to truly talented and motivated. I have eaten here a dozen occasions and have never seen a plate served that wasn't carefully presented according to the original design. Consistency is surprising given the fact that this is a popular tourist eatery, but that's why my fellow locals also keep returning. It's a 3.5/4 restaurant with appropriate prices. The seafood is always peak freshness and chicken and steak options have always been perfect. It does get very crowded and a bit loud on weekends or most nights during the summer & October. Please plan appropriately and expect a wait during that time. A small tip at the checkin station certainly could help you acquire a better table if not shorten your wait a small amount(not official policy, of course). It's not needed though as most seats are excellent and the wait is rarely very long due to two floors of dining options. Still, if it's a special night or you are looking to impress, a tip and a kind word will go a long way. Note: The world is rapidly changing and some seem to carry pride at displaying a lack of empathy, decency, and manners in public. Please don't be rude to the staff at the restaurant even if you aren't having an ideal experience. Instead, try politely discussing your issues with a staff member away from the table. If you are kind and express understanding, they will return the same and work to find a solution with you. This is about all restaurants and most businesses in general. I am just leaving this here as a good number of reviews seem to not understand that all of the employees are truly striving to give you a great experience. Some issues are beyond their control and a decent human being will understand that difference.“
