   We anticipated eating at Ledger for quite a while and decided to celebrate a very special birthday there with our son and daughter-in-love. We thought that the food was outstanding, but were quite disappointed in the service. The servers were all warm and friendly, but did not meet our expectation in their training for what we considered to be a fine dining experience (based on the price point and the menu). My husband and I ordered a salad that we intended to share (this was clear as we ordered it). When the salad arrived it was put onto the table by a runner who was on their way to the next delivery. We were surprised that it had not been plated in the kitchen (and that no mention had been made that it would not be plated) and I requested some side plates. The runner quickly returned with them, but did not make the connection that we could use a serving spoon (or something) to plate it. Similarly my husband and DIL decided to share the special of Dover Sole, as described, a meal to split. "Dover" arrived, on a platter with all bones intact. Once again, we were left with no utensils to easily serve the fish. We used one of our forks and a table knife to "lift" the fish off of the skeleton. By the end of the meal having served up salad, and a whole fish from the very small table (2 tables for 2 shoved together) the table looked as though the toddler home with a sitter had actually been with us. Dessert was offered and for the second time, no effort was made to tidy up the table. For an almost $400 bill, and leaving less than relaxed and in awe, although the food was very good, I will most likely try other restaurants in the future.

   Ledger Restaurant & BarResponded 6 days agoHi Georgia, Thank you for visiting Ledger and your detailed review. We strive to provide the best possible experience to our guests. I sincerely apologize to hear about your visit. We wish we had known about the sole, as we would have gladly taken the fish back to have our chef split it for you. I greatly appreciate your feedback and have shared it with our kitchen team. We also spoke to your daughter-in-law directly. Please reach out directly to me at kelsey@ledgersalem to speak further.

   Had a reservation for 8pm, didn’t get sat until around 8:40pm. The food was delicious and our waitress was fantastic but I’ve never had to wait nearly 40 minutes after an accepted reservation that I made in advance to be seated and my initial interaction with the hostess wasn’t the best. Not sure if I would go back.

    Mediocre service. Large portion but food was nothing special. Sides were cold after waiting a very long time for the meal. Ordered 2 of the same craft cocktail. One glass full the other half full. Strange that 2 of the same drink would be served so disproportionally to guests. Did not enjoy the flavor anyway.

    Ledger was a happy surprise. Perfect stop before attending a concert at the Cabot in Beverly. The food was uniformly excellent, portions just right (meaning not too huge), service attentive, and the interior design in the bank building is very clever and appealing. Even when it got crowded, the noise level was not intrusive. Highly recommend.

    A Valentine’s Day date with my wife, had really delicious grilled sweet potato appetizer, then the short rib ragu and seafood fra Diablo with squid ink pasta. Everything was tastefully done and tasty too. Service was attentive and the room was lively but not too loud for conversation. Overall a very pleasant evening.

    We love this restaurant so we chose it for Valentines Day dinner. We were seated in the back function room, where extra tables had been set up. While we missed the lively ambience of the main dining room, we appreciated the extra space and more intimate atmosphere. Our server Maggie D was terrific, as was the sommelier who even arranged a special cocktail for us. Food was quite good. Start with the popovers. Roasted brussels sprouts were amazing, oysters were really nice, fresh, with a minnionett and cocktail sauce that complemented them beautifully. Pear and chicory salad was delicious. Sirloin steak was flavorful and perfectly cooked but a bit chewy in places. Overall a wonderful experience and we'll certainly be back!

    The only thing off about the experience was the table they sat our party of four at. It was a long family style table able to seat 10. Other than the undercooked potatoes the duck I had was delicious. We splurged for the oyster with caviar. Tasty. But at $9 for one seemed a bit excessive. Service was good and timely. We enjoy coming back as the food always delights most of the time. Really it does. The pork ragu dish the wife ordered was so tasty.

    Started at the bar. Delish oysters but more than half had shell fragments in them. Someone needs to up their shucking game ;) For our meal we both ordered the salmon. I did not like several of the sides it was being served with so I asked if I could substitute salad alongside the salmon. The server said yes but the cost would be the same. No issue with that so we ordered. My order came out as a salad with a side plate of salmon. The salmon was half the size of my friends. My friends salmon was good but the sides were so heavy with oil and spice she couldn’t eat them. My friend recommended the place and said she’s never had a bad meal there. We were both extremely disappointed with the food. Service was attentive at both the bar and table. Just not sure I could recommend the restaurant given our sour experience.

    It was packed for brunch Sunday morning. My friend was late arriving, but I never felt that the server was frustrated with us because of it. Never felt rushed through the meal. Everything tasted great and it was a wonderful time. Ledger continues to be the best for brunch on the north shore.

    Our server was very nice. The food was just ok. The arugula salad was dry and wilty and the sweet potato toast was a strange blend of flavors. The roasted chicken was good and moist but nothing over the top. The drinks were interesting, but the “painkiller” was pretty much just like a pina colada. Overall, nothing I would drive back to Salem for.
