A word from Green Land Cafe

A blend of creative food and fresh thinking. When we started Green Land Café, our objective was to create a restaurant built on fresh thinking. Committed to sustainability, we developed our tapas, lunch and dinner menus to reflect the goodness of organic, locally grown and harvested ingredients.… Wherever and whenever possible, our expressions of culinary excellence include fruits and vegetables from nearby farm partners, cheeses from Vermont, meats and poultry from domestic sources and seafood from New England. We continue our commitment to sustainability throughout Green Land Café by using reclaimed materials and environmentally friendly products. What we strive to do every day at Green Land Café is to offer you tasty food in a great atmosphere at a reasonable price…and to do some good along the way.Continued

"Brunch foods are hard to keep consistently warm, do we recognize tihis. The
surprising thing about the Easter brunch? There wasn't a visible sign of Easter
anywhere. Not a jelly bean, bunny, or even fresh flowers. It could have been ANY
Sunday, and that detract from the occasion."

"This was our first time to Green Land Cafe, and I just found it on the internet. Worth the hour drive we made, the atmosphere was inviting and calm, the food was out of this world, (especially for a buffet)(My boyfriend is still raving about the cheesecake bites) We will return..... Salem is a day-cation spot for us and we now found our lunch/dinner or even another brunch spot... Thank you to all the staff, they were great... Matt, our bartender, while we waited for our table, was very gracious...."

"Went to dinner on a Sat night (3 adults, 3 kids). Service was excellent, bar had a terrific martini selection, high-energy atmosphere (good for adults, and parents need not worry about energetic children). Food selection was very good- we chose to make an entire meal from a wide variety of appetizers and tapas menu. Food quality was above average, but not particularly noteworthy for foodies looking for something exotic. Great location downtown."

"Loved Green Land Cafe. We went in with zero expectations but came out huge fans of this place. The service was great -- very nice staff from the hostess, manager, bartender and server. They were all very attentive and went out of their way to make us feel welcome without being obnoxious. The food was amazing. The four of us in our party each got different dinners and shared two appetizers. The drinks were great and very reasonably priced. I've been to several nice restaurants in Boston and the surrounding area, and my husband and I agreed that Green Land Cafe was among the best. Thank you Green Land Cafe for a truly enjoyable evening. We will happily take the drive to Salem soon to dine with you again."

"1. We found the food to be very good appetizer portions were a little small but still outstanding quality. The scallops could have had a little more sear on them but the sauce was delicious. Dinner portions were good size and the quality was very good. What stood out was our waiter Mike. He was very knowledgeable of the food and the proper drink parings. Mike made what was a good night a great night."

"Made the reservation through Open Table which worked out great and was so convenient! My son's birthday was on St. Patrick's Day and we told him to pick any place he wanted to have dinner and he chose Green Land Cafe. My son had been there before and enjoyed his previous visit. Open Table confirmed our reservation, and Greenland Cafe also contacted us to confirm as well. (through e-mail) Our son and the rest of our party were not disappointed! The food, service and atmosphere really lived up to the occassion. I would enthusiastically recommend not only Greenland Cafe, but also making reservations with Open Table as well."
