New American Restaurants near Salem, NH

“Nestled in the heart of Salem, NH, Copper Door presents itself as an inviting destination for a memorable dining experience. Recently, I ventured there with my girlfriend and her siblings along with their significant others, eager to indulge in an evening of good food and company.Upon arrival, the ambiance exuded warmth and sophistication, setting the stage for what I hoped would be an unforgettable meal. To kick off the evening, I opted for an espresso martini, and I must say, it did not disappoint. Rich and flavorful, it served as the perfect prelude to the culinary delights that awaited.For starters, we decided on the calamari, and it proved to be a wise choice. Crispy yet tender, each bite burst with flavor, leaving us eager for more. However, my enthusiasm waned when my girlfriend's Moscow mule arrived. Unfortunately, it fell short of expectations, appearing rather watered down—a minor disappointment in an otherwise promising meal.Moving on to the main course, I selected the sirloin shepherd's pie, and it surpassed all expectations. The savory blend of tender sirloin and hearty vegetables nestled beneath a blanket of creamy mashed potatoes was a true delight for the palate. Each forkful offered a symphony of flavors that left me craving more.Regrettably, my dining experience took an unexpected turn when, in the early hours of the morning, I fell ill. While I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at Copper Door, it appears that it came with an unexpected consequence. Despite this setback, I must commend the establishment for its delicious fare and inviting atmosphere.In conclusion, Copper Door stands as a premier destination for a memorable date night, albeit one that comes at a slightly higher price point. While my experience was not without its challenges, I would not hesitate to return, hopeful for a more seamless dining experience. For those seeking an upscale dining experience in Salem, NH, Copper Door undoubtedly remains a worthy contender.“

“The food here is always great! Homemade Lebanese food, grape leaves, & the steak tips melt in your mouth! The baked kibbeh is so good and the ribs! The service is quick but sometimes it does get busy in there and it takes a bit longer to get your food, but they do try to be attentive. Prices are reasonable and karaoke is fun on Friday nights! The atmosphere is a typical New England hangout. It’s fun for a night out. Not really a romantic or family night spot per se. More of a night scene spot.“

“Love Keon's. The food is so yummy. They take ordinary meals that you might make at home but their spin on it is hard to compete with. Really tasty. Cozy ambiance. Plan ahead. Limited seating so be sure to try to get a reservation or get there early. Downtown Haverhill so parking can be a challenge. But worth the effort.“

“We had an excellent meal tonight! The atmosphere was relaxing. Service was excellent. We had some yummy Cocktails, then apps and dinner. Cauliflower app and guacamole dip were fantastic. Everyone loved their dinner- there's a choice for everyone on the menu. All four of us split one yummy dessert. Definitely going again as this place stands out if you are looking for creative delicious fresh food.“

“This is hands down my favorite place in Andover. I have been going there for a couple of years, about once a month, and never been disappointed. Their daily crudo is always exceptional, so are the daily soups (I crave the cheddar soup that they took off the menu a while back). The charcuterie board is another great choice. The ambiance is laid back but chic, the service is impeccable, discreet and efficient. I can't wait to go back.“

“small place out country with a fantastic menu. cocktails are more expensive than other places in town and a little too avant garde for my tastes, but the food is phenomenal. get the calamari and the tortellini - you will not be disappointed!“

“My wife and I were visiting the area from Florida and stopped @ Palmers for lunch and met Toni serving at the bar. She was exceptionally attentive and made great recommendations for lunch. The food was great so we came back for dinner! We ate at the bar again and there was great live music and the bartender Russ was excellent. We had a terrific evening. Although not crowded we had a blast with the locals. The food was again exceptional. We had the Limoncello Haddock which was perfect. They also had our favorite Pinot Noir… Meiomi on the list. Could not have been a more wonderful evening before we left for home. Thanks to the staff and when we return this is a place for us!“

Servers are all very attentive, fast and hard working. Food is unbelievably yummy, and the menu can accommodate for any age, time of day etc.Kid-friendliness: On holidays the owner will make the kids feel special and seen, as well as the adults.“

“Good food and quick kitchen. Drinks are consistent. Primarily street parking but convenient location and crosswalks available. Stairs in front of bar to walk up and enter. One stall bathrooms. On the smaller side but good atmosphere. Live music played here is great.“

“This is your average neighborhood haunt with a surprisingly decent kitchen. Menu is mostly pub fare, enormous pizzas, and sandwiches, but the specials are usually higher class dishes like seafood scampi, or chicken marsala.Drinks are normally priced as you'd expect and the staff is friendly. They've got daily specials and different entertainment most nights of the week. We've been in for Musical Bingo, Karaoke, Trivia, etc. There are also live bands and DJs some nights.Decent bar seating with a fair collection of tables to seat yourself at as well. Dart boards in the back and a Touch Tunes jukebox on the wall for when there isn't live entertainment.I keep coming back.Parking: Parking is okay. There's about 15 spots in their oddly shaped lot, but the carwash next door seems to have more room for parking and is closed at night.“

“Good food with a short wait on a busy Saturday night. The staff was friendly and attentive (despite a table nearby who were just obnoxious to her).We don't often head out to Windham, as it's out of our way, but looking forward to one coming to Hudson!“

For the food it's worth it!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of parking for them & easy access to diner.“

“Our first experience at Americus. It was fantastic. The greeting at the door was quick and courteous. Kat was our waitress. Very pleasant and informative. Fondue appetizer was scrumptious. The food was served hot and delicious. Wine was just what the description said. There were 4 in our party. All of us were very pleased. We will be back and will recommend to others.“

“Food was very good. Ambiance was lively. Our waitress was terrific! Nicole was able to be attentive to our fussy requests and made sure we were happy with everything. She checked in several times. We will certainly request her next time we go.“

“Wonderful food. This is a restaurant that has great food and drink nos. The service is great. Never had a bad experience ever. It just so happens to have championship worthy pool tables. Diamonds 4x8 professional tables. I recommend the Ruben sandwich. Also the Buffalo Mac and cheese. Or the soups. The wontons. The list of great food is endless.“

“Love this place! We all had some form of burger and every one of us was so pleased with our food. I had the Blackened Tuna Steak BLT and loved it. They give it a nice sear while maintaining a raw inside. Flavorful and filling. Their prices were especially great for the amount of food we had. Worth coming back to.“

“We had a function here recently. Never been here before. The place was old fashioned looking and smelled great inside. The food was good for the most part, the only thing I think they could have changed was having more than one server for more than 10 people when the place wasn’t even busy yet. I think it was too much for one person. Just my opinion, but thank you for hosting our event.“

“Having been to the Windham one and enjoying it, it took us too long to visit the Derry one. A positive addition to the Derry location is the pizza. The cheese pizza was delicious, though could have been slightly crispier on the bottom and was a bit floppy. Taste was on point though and the kids really enjoyed it. The kids tender meal was good, the tenders were perfectly fried and there was a good portion of them.The Deluxe Turkey Sandwich was good and very filling. The one complaint was the bread could have been toasted, but otherwise it was good. The Chicken Mediterranean was absolutely delicious. We got it with gluten free pasta and loved every part of it. Perhaps one of the better pasta dishes we’ve had in the area.It was busy but not crowded and kids are definitely welcome.“

“Yum!Such a refined touch on pub food, with many veggie options. The hand cut fries were a dream. We ordered some creative cocktails and they were just as described, well balanced and not too sweet. Everyone from the host to our server were very hospitable and kind. Can’t wait to try some other things on the menu!“

“Such a great gluten free menu and offerings! 5 people in my party all eatting gluten free. We all got different entrees. Only got pics of those. We also got the onionstraws/rings and fried pickles. All was amazing. Thank you for doing gluten free so well!Dietary restrictions: Gluten freeKid-friendliness: My kids loved the place!“

“My wife found this place while searching for places that are friendly to people who are gluten-intolerant. We both ordered the pasta with bolognese sauce, which was superb. Her gluten-free pasta was very tasty, as was my regular dish. The server was very friendly and attentive to our needs, and offered some good suggestions to make the evening even more enjoyable. Being that it only recently opened, the restaurant was clean and well-maintained, but it was a tad loud due to the openness of the dining area. I found it difficult but manageable to have a conversation with my wife during our time there. We will definitely go back very soon!Dietary restrictions: As mentioned, lots of gluten-free options, including dessert!“
