Newport Seafood Grill - SalemThe combination of clean premises,The combination of clean premises, efficient and friendly staff, and good food has enticed us to drive across town several times in recent weeks. This time we took visitors from Texas. The two women chose prawns, and the men chose fish and chips, one pollock and one halibut. We all were very pleased and consumed all of our meals.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMCooking up excllenceFor Mother's Day, I decided upon Newport Seafood Grill. The brunch menu was full of options and my order was delicious, with the complementary buffet table stocked with fruits, pastries, and snacks! The server's delivery was spot on, and she extended a nice rapport for my mother and I to feel welcome. Newport Seafood grill continues to deliver excellence on every occasion, and I was very pleased that I had chosen this for Mother's Day!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMNewport Seafood Grill outstandingWe had a wonderful Mother's Day Brunch at Newport Seafood Grill. The choice of brunch items was inspired; the buffet table was constantly being refreshed, and the service was wonderful. In spite of the crowd, service was seamless. Our waitress was just great, meeting the needs of our three generation group with very warm and efficient service. I would recommend this restaurant at any time, but especially at Sunday brunch.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMTook mom here for mother'sTook mom here for mother's day lunch as was hoping to find a decent place in Salem we could go as our last trip to McGrath's Fish House was TERRIBLE, especially considering the expensive prices. We found NEWPORT GRILL to be GREAT! Everyone enjoyed their meal, and mom wants to come back for sure. She and her sister had wondered how it was after the name change but never went, and now she's excited to have a good place to go.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAll three diners were pleasedAll three diners were pleased with items from both the menu and the buffet. One ordered Eggs Benedict, and another ordered crab cakes and took one home with her. We also visited Newport Seafood Grill about three weeks ago, all having fish and chips and agreeing that the dish is excellent. We appreciate the booths, which provide greater privacy and buffer voices more efficiently than those in many other restaurants.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AM
