My husband and I loved our dinner at Nekia. The service was the best I've had in years honestly and my husband agreed. I also really enjoyed my dinner. The spring roll appetizer wasn't my favorite but I ordered the flat iron steak and it was super delicious and perfectly cooked. We will be back.

The food was great but I ordered the cod and the piece was so small for $28. Cod is not that expensive!

The service has come a long way from our last time here. Our server (forgot her name) was knowledgable, efficient, polite, and on top of everything. Our drinks, appetizers, and meal appeared at the expected time. Food is very very well made, presented and delicious. Great menu as well

Great location in Salem; close to everything; adjacent to Holman Hotel and the conference center. The staff was great. We were seated promptly on a Friday night and Courtney, our server was attentive and charming. Drinks arrived on time; wine selection is limited but delicious. The menu choices were unusual. I enjoyed the Farro arugula salad with goat cheese. My partner ordered the baby back ribs with Korean glaze, kimchi and potato salad. I found the flavor of his meal too hot and spicy to enjoy.
