    The popovers, Brussels sprouts and tomato buratta salad were excellent apps. We had salmon, duck, steak and chicken. Every entree was great. My granddaughter had the mac and cheese off the kids menu and it was perfect.

    The quality of the food, donuts and pastry are very high. The food is delicious overall but the brunch menu options are so limited..I don’t recommend as a brunch destination. I booked for a birthday brunch and it was embarrassing actually because of the poor service that day, which I do not believe is typical for Ledger. Either they are really short staffed or our server was just having a really bad day. Between the costs and order issues I would lean towards choosing a different restaurant in the future for any kind of group celebration (there were only five of us so I would say it’s a small group at that).. Salem has so many wonderful places to choose from Id recommend this for dinner instead and not for a special occasion.

    The restaurant is very cool with the bank setting. Everything we ordered was delicious. They even remembered my husband’s bday and brought out a lovely wood board with dessert and a written message on it. Class act and worth every penny!!!

    Brunch was good and everything was great for all members of my party. I wish there had been at least two healthy options for high protein- low carb or calorie options for my diabetic needs.

    Thanks for the review, Kathryn! We appreciate your feedback and we'll certainly consider it for future menu updates. We hope to see you!
