Tried the halibut special and a crab cake. The crab cake was the real star for me&mdash;so much fresh, lump crab in there, hardly any filler. Really solid.

The self-order kiosk was handy for a quick bite. What really stood out was the staff&#39;s patience&mdash;they walked me through the menu and even suggested a local craft beer that paired perfectly with my spicy noodles. Made the whole process smooth.

The outdoor patio was lovely on a warm day. I really appreciated the fresh air and relaxed neighborhood vibe for a casual meal.

The corn tortillas here are legit&mdash;you can tell they&#39;re made fresh. And that hibiscus water? So refreshing. Took me right back to a little spot I found in Mexico.

Friday night live music really sets the mood. The band was solid, not too loud so we could still talk. It was a fun, lively crowd. Food was decent, but the music was the main event for us.

The owner and staff are so friendly and welcoming. It&#39;s a simple spot, but they really make you feel at ease.

Been coming here for years. The orata fish risotto is the reason I keep coming back. They get the fish just right, and the risotto is always creamy without being heavy. Solid spot in the neighborhood.

Ordered the chicken parm and ziti for a family thing. Food was fresh and tasted great. Got here on time and was a solid deal for the amount of food. Quick and easy to set up.

Decent spot with their own parking lot out back. That&#39;s a big plus for this area. Street parking nearby is usually fine if the lot is full. Food was pretty good, nothing mind-blowing but solid.

The pumpkin ravioli was really fresh. Nice spot with the string lights outside for summer evenings.

Was just walking by and needed a coffee. Tried the &quot;Up the Banana Tree&quot; &ndash; it&#39;s different, but in a good way. Solid spot for something other than your usual latte.

The raw oysters here are always a treat. Super fresh, great flavor. I had them with a crisp local white wine that really brought out their briny sweetness. A must for seafood fans in Salem.

Fish &amp; chips were spot on. The old wood-paneled dining room really fits the New England pub vibe.

A solid spot for a family dinner after practice. The food was pretty good and filling, which is all you need sometimes. The kids were happy with their meals. Service was decent, though it got a bit loud later on.

The lobster mac n&#39; cheese was a real treat, creamy and rich. Paired it with a glass of crisp Chardonnay, and the combo just clicked. Manager&#39;s table visits do make the place feel welcoming. A solid spot when you&#39;re in the mood for that kind of comfort food.

First time trying omakase here. The fish cuts were huge and so fresh! The sauces were just right, didn&#39;t overpower the fish at all. Really enjoyed the whole flow of it.

Parking at the mall is easy. The waitlist text system works well, though it was a bit of a wait. The house red was a solid choice to start with.

The crab was pretty good, really buttery with a nice garlic kick. The shellfish tasted fresh. Service was decent, but the place got a bit loud later in the evening.

The brown butter lobster roll was the star. That bun was so soft and buttery, and the lobster inside was seriously juicy. Yeah, it&#39;s a smaller portion, but honestly, the flavor was all there.

The live piano music was just soft enough that we could actually talk. It made the whole brunch feel so calm. The ricotta pizza was really good, too.

The buffalo chicken wontons are crispy and flavorful, a solid appetizer. The dipping sauce has a nice kick.

I had a fantastic experience celebrating my birthday here! The staff went above and beyond to make me feel special, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this place for special occasions!

The atmosphere on a game day is top notch! Our server, Jessica, was the friendliest and most attentive in Boston! The food was perfect!

Veal parm and the house cod were both solid. This place is a good local option in the North End. Service was efficient, got us in and out for a business lunch. Prices are fair for the area.

Pancakes were spot on, and the omelet kept me full all day. The energy in here is fun.

Grabbed a quick bite before the show at the Garden. Everything tasted fresh, which I appreciate. The cannoli was a nice finish, crispy shell, creamy filling. Solid spot for a pre-event meal.

Small spot, only a few tables. Food&#39;s solid though. Got the chicken sandwich, came out quick and was tasty. Good for a quick bite when you&#39;re in a hurry. Prices are fair.

First time here and the braised short rib ravioli was the star. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the filling was so rich and tender. Honestly, could have just had that as my main. The fried mozzarella starter was a nice gooey bonus too.

Been coming here for years, and those pan-fried dumplings are the reason. The dough always has that same perfect chew to it, never soggy. It&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on every single time.

Tasty Burger offers excellent value for money. The portions are generous, and the quality of the food exceeds expectations. Definitely a place to return to!
