Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Salem

Absolutely wonderful experience here! Food and staff were absolutely fabulous and I am still dreaming of the Bay Scallops - would highly recommend to anyone wanting a fun cocktail and meal or charcuterie and some great wine!

As always, Morel does not disappoint. The knowledge of the menu by the staff is best in class. Overall service and quality of food excels.

To be honest, I was unsure what to expect. Several (about 5) years ago the experience had not been pleasant. So decided to try again; I’m very glad I did - it was an awesome experience. The drinks, their specials, were superb. The waitress was knowledgeable about the menu, great recommendations. The meal came quickly, everything that should have been hot was, I had a beet salad with feta cheese that was to die for. We splurged on a very nice bottle of wine, my wife’s roasted chicken she said was delicious and while there were two lobster selections, the waitress helped me make a good decision - the result was fantastic, both in size, appearance & taste. Admittedly we spent more than I intended, however it was worth every dollar! Oh I should mention the small but nice raw bar; I have some familiarity with oysters and the NB selection was excellent. I rarely leave this long or detailed review, however, we will definitely return to the Milwaukee Harbor House and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants a great restaurant experience!!

This was an incredibly delicious meal! Definitely will be back. My only issue was that there were a lot of bones in the trout that we had. Other than that, everything had amazing flavor and texture components! Super delicious!

12/24/24: Lauren was great, as usual, and Ryan the GN gets his sleeves rolled up and helps it all work. Since moving from el país vasco this is as close as I’ll get to going back to northern basque coast. Worth every penny including the 18% inclusive tariff. Josh & Julie Ugalde Mequon, WI
