    Everything about this restaurant was stellar: food was prepared beautifully (and delicious!), service was thoughtful, friendly and professional, cocktails and wine - excellent and the historic location was incredibly creative and fun. Lively room - especially considering it was a Monday night. We’ll come back here in a heartbeat. Best meal by far that we’ve had on our trip around the northeast. What a find in Salem!

    Very well done, great service and creative menu. The only criticism was my salmon was a bit overcooked.

    Fantastic food and drinks. Popovers are amazing and the steak was excellent. This could hold its on with any high end restaurant in Boston, although unfortunately it does have prices that approach Boston as well. Still very happy with the experience. . . . Will definitely be going back.

    Great food and terrific service. But it was much too noisy and the industrial style decor is very stark and does not fit with the elegance of the food. We enjoy eating there, but see much prefer eating out on the patio whenever possible. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate.
    Ledger Restaurant & BarResponded on June 22, 2025
    John, Thank you for your review and feedback. We look forward to your next visit when the weather is cooperating for our patio! Warm regards, Annie

    Great night out at Ledger. The server was knowledgeable and helpful. Food was amazing! I love that the menu is kept relatively small and seasonal. The vibe is energetic but I could still hold a conversation with my wife. Must try the popovers.
