The owner greeted us and took us to our table. Waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, we asked several questions. The owner was attentive to all the customers, refilling waters, making conversations. Very nice ambiance the food was so delicious not to mention desert, creme brûlée. We really enjoyed our time here. We recommend this place to everyone.

We love the happy hour. Great selection of tasty dishes at good prices. Great value. We dine outside on a quiet sidewalk.

Server needed to make sure we were good on drinks. Probably would have ordered another round. More$$$!

Great service great food highly recommend this restaurant

Salem needs more fine dining restaurants. It has to be extremely difficult for them during these pandemic times. Even so, Chira’s misses the mark of being a fine dining experience. I am a terrible prognosticator but I’m willing to say I won’t be surprised to see a different establishment taking its place in the near future. It looked like the staff consisted of only two people. The server forgot our salads and, to compensate, took $3.00 off the bill. The salmon entree was excellently done. The steak entree had gristle and was not easy to chew. Over all, if it really wants to stay around, they’re going to have to greatly improve the quality of both food and service.

This was our first visit here and we were impressed. Service was excellent and the staff really cared about everyone there. The food was quite good and reasonably priced. We'll be back.

Food was good, my plate had so many fingerprints wish they would of cleaned them off before bringing the food
Portions where big

We made our reservation for 7:15 and were not seated until after 7:30 and no one came out to check in on the lateness. Even after we were seated no acknowledgement of the lateness. However, later a waitress came by and said sorry about the wait..evidently the owners family was there in a large party and through them for a loop! This was our second visit and the food was just as good as the first time we were there!

This was our second visit to Chira's and we've enjoyed both experiences. Great food and terrific service.

First time there and had a wonderful experience, start to finish, we had the steamer clams ,remarkably! with our drinks then the crusted halibut was great and my husband had the raviolis super delicious The server was awesome.We will definitely tell our friends. Thank you

The Best food in town. Yuri is the best of the best.

My girlfriend and me both loved it. The food was great and our server was very attentive. We'll definitely be back

Both food and service were excellent. We sat outside and felt very safe. The waitress was masked but friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.

This place is an absolute gem! Wonderful staff, great food and wine selection, and a cool low key vibe.

Food was great! We didn't realize we got salads with our order and our server came back and asked about them to make sure we got what we wanted. Salads arrived in a timely manner, followed by the food. The restaurant definitely had taken measures to make sure tables were distanced and people were safe. Overall it was a very enjoyable evening and I would definitely go again.

Good place to go for a fairly priced, delicious, dining experience.

Both me and my date had serious stomach problems after eating here. But the service was good. Probably won't go back due to quality of food.

This is our second time at Chira's and the food wasn't as good as the first time. I sent the chicken oscar back because the crab wasn't fresh and smelt like ammonia. This is inexcusable as the chef should have checked before serving. The water had something white floating around. One of the plates wasn't fully washed. The utensils feel cheap as if they were from the dollar store.

Opened up Open Table to see what was available last minute. Chira’s popped up and we decided to give it a try. We shared the crab cakes, which were served on a mango salsa slaw....I ended up putting the extra slaw on my dinner salad it was so yummy!! The rack of lamb was cooked to perfection and the crab artichoke ravioli were delicious. Service was great. We will certainly go again!

Food was good. The social-distancing effort was made and all employees had masks on the entire time. Service was fair, took awhile to get drink refills, but food came quickly. Orders were correct and came in a timely manner.

The staff were friendly and attentive. I had the prime rib and my wife had the halibut. The food was prepared well and we never had to wait to order more drinks. We will go again.

Everything was great however, the service was slow.

We first came to Chira's for your excellent Thanksgiving buffet. We have been back several times for dinner. It is one of our favorite restaurants in Salem.

We had a big group of 8. The waitress was super nice and helpful! The Coconut shrimp is great 👌

Service was good sure kitchen may have been a little overwhemeled,so things were a little slow overall OK!

They had no idea about our reservation through open table but they were accommodating and sat us right away.

My wife and i went for dinner and were disappointed. The service was average. The food was below average.
The decor was nice and it wasnt too loud.
We ordered the calamari and the breading on it was too heavy and they didnt have marinara sauce, they gave us some fruity compote which was ok at best with calamari.
The seared ahi app was delicious. No complaints there.
My crab artichoke ravioli was good but the pesto cream sauce was overly rich and they used too much of it. It overpowered the flavors in the ravioli.
My wife ordered a filet cooked medium and the server brought her a french dip. After she got her order, the bacon wrapped filet was not cooked properly at all. The bacon was soft and rubbery, half the filet was cooked well done and the other half was rare. How does this even happen?! Her veggies were covered in big chunks of garlic making them impossible to eat and her potatoes were super salty. Again she couldnt eat them.
The meal, with two happy hour apps and two nonalcoholic drinks cost $74 and with tip we paid $89. We wanted our money back and wont go there again.

I ordered Osso Buco. It was dry and tough. My salad was good. We had crab cakes to start and they were ok not great. The service was very good. I had an Old Fashioned and it also was very good.

The service wasn’t good. Our server forgot our salads and just brought out main dishes. There was no apology and he never checked back to see if everything was ok or if we needed anything.

On this night the waiter just was not on his "A" game. Is the only reason I did not get them a 5. Would recommend making reservations the place was packed. Great verity. I had the 3 for $30 Ahi Poke and the Rockfish entree and settled on a ice tea as my drink instead of the adult beverage. My friend had the Sired Ahi app and the Pear salad.

We hadn't been in a while and really enjoyed coming back. I had prime rib, my husband had the ravioli and it was a lovely dinner. The server was attentive and knowledgable about gluten issues. Delicious!

Great food. Great service. Lots of gluten- and dairy-free options on the menu. And you can bring your dog with you and sit in their tables outside the restaurant but in the mall area (still inside). It’s wonderful.

We have a few restaurants that we go to regularly and I have to say THIS place is THE place! Chira's is hands down the most delicious dinner we have had in Salem. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. Mellow ambiance. Ok, let's get to the good part! THE FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING!! The flavors, the smells, the textures, the the the...EVERYTHING! I had the rack of lamb, hubby had the prime rib. The meat, tender. The flavor, out of this world. Potatoes soft and delicious. I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant. Go and see how outstanding it is for yourself. You will not be disappointed! Bon appetit!

Good place to relax and eat good food

Our meal was outstanding! So nice to have a great place to go out for dinner that is different than the standard Salem fair. The food arrived at the right time to allow for a little drink and conversation, despite being a fairly full house. I called in a few days early for a reservation on a Saturday evening and was seated promptly. Will definitely be going back for special occasions and visiting friends and family. Exceeded expectations!

The know how to cook a steak, better than anywhere I've been. I really joyed the jalepeneo poppers as well. Amazing

Excellent food, excellent service. We will be back for sure:)

Really liked this place because of the live music & food. We were out for my family bday celebration (first visit), and we all enjoyed the music & food. The wait was approx. 60min for our food, so that needs improvement, however, the staff was very kind and took one of our small bite plates off the tab. I ordered ahi seared w sesame. Was cooked unevenly—should have been seared w no cooked thru pieces. I did enjoy the ahi and presentation was pretty! Also would add some straight wasabi on the plate for people who really like the heat of it. Sweet potato tots were great!!! Grilled veggies had an interesting blend of seasoning on them, and were enjoyed. Kobe burger was delicious!! Did crab cakes in a take out box because I was full, so can’t comment on taste but presentation was perfect! Overall, we had a good time, enjoyed the meal, appreciated the staff and will return. It is worth noting that they had 2 high chairs ready for us, and brought children’s waters and crayons w the children’s menus. Very awesome for our family! This would have been a 4 or 5 if the tuna was all seared, no cooked thru pieces, and the wait for the food was not more than 30min. so we could’ve had a dessert. Great job to all staff!!! I believe they may have been short-handed that night, but not verified on that. Thanks & we look forward to trying other menu items in the future.

Love Chiras !!

Good music, good food, good prices. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
