Best Restaurants for Groups in Salem

Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere! Great place for cocktails and apps or a special occasion.

We discovered that we’ve been coming here for 10 yrs, that tells y’all something there! Zarletti’s is a small but exquisitely decorated downtown Italian restaurant. The meals, appetizers, wines etc are almost all from Italy. The service is great, the wait staff know their foods, drinks and wines. We found them this time, as usual, to be friendly, available but non-intrusive & very nice. Our meals were wonderfully prepared and awesomely delicious!! The red wine we opted for was perfect for our meals. Oh, their take on an old-fashioned was fun and delicious. We’re allowed to relax, take our time to enjoy drinks and food, never any sense of hurry. We love coming here and would strongly recommend Zarletti’s.

1st time dining, visiting from Chicago, family of 5 (kids 15, 13 and 13). Was concerned that the food would be average since the unique theme sells itself. Really enjoyed the “Bond Mi”—-brisket Vietnamese style. And as simple as cheese curds and pretzel bites seem, they were cooked perfectly—sauces were delicious! We enjoyed our time as private investigators after dinner. Highly recommend!

Service was great, food was well prepared. Chef was just a little too free with the salt. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.

Merriment Social offers a fantastic dining experience in Milwaukee. They take great care in crafting unique food fusions that are both beautiful and delicious. The owners are warm and welcoming, often socializing with guests and showing genuine care for the community they are a part of. It was wonderful to hear from Sam at the Christmas party and learn more about their team’s passion for providing a high-quality and fun dining experience. Additionally, their commitment to partnering with local organizations to serve and support Milwaukee’s underserved communities is truly inspiring.
