Salem Mass
Restaurant News
The
Green Land Cafe
is now open for lunch from 11am to 4pm (as well as dinner hours). Check
out their tree covered patio outside in the back. A great place to hang
out on a nice summer day and enjoy some great food.
Check them out on Facebook!
The
Coven Cafe
& Artisan Market
is now open at 281 Essex Street in April. The owner is
a great pastry chef and brings to Salem some fantastic baked goods
including her famous cupcakes and red velvet cake.
They also feature meals-to-go, sandwiches, fresh produce, breakfast items, and more.
Because The Coven Cafe is located right next to my office, I tend to go
there more than I should (according to my doctor) to sample their
goodies. But who can resist??
The Salem Jail has
finally found a tenant for their restaurant space. The restaurant
Great Escape
is looking for a late summer opening with around 120 seats (nearly 50 of
those outside). The restaurant will serve American fare, like steaks and
fish, as well as Italian dishes and small plates (also know as tapas, it
is evidently "The" item to have on your menu).
Though I am disappointed we didn't get the promised French restaurant, I
am hopeful that the owners, who currently run a place in Peabody, will
bring to Salem another superb eatery. More news here as it is available.
Adriatic Restaurant and Bar
is opening in the former location
of the Edgewater Cafe on Washington Street. It will feature
Mediterranean cuisine with emphasis and Italian and Turkish using fresh
fish, vegetables and pastas. One of the unique aspects of this
restaurant will be the use of a wood-burning oven for pizzas and other
baked foods.
The Exchange
on Congress
appears like it will be a tavern-style restaurant with a varied menu
including steak, seafood, and pizza. The interior of the restaurant
looks to be offbeat in an industrial sort of way, with cartoonists and
graffiti artists giving the atmosphere a quirky overall feel. Located at
75 Congress Street, it is in the former location of the short-lived
Sonoma restaurant, plus past sensations Love Noodle and Red Raven.
The anticipation of the
Howling Wolf Taqueria
has me excited. We haven't had a good burrito joint since Tortilla Flat
on upper Essex Street closed many years ago.
More on this place soon!
New York Fried
Chicken just
opened in July 2009 and has chicken with very light coating fried in soy
bean oil. They also have wings, shrimp, fish (whiting & tilapia!),
burgers and sweet potato pies.
Seaport Cafe,
a new seafood restaurant has opened at the former location of Derby Fish
& Lobster at 215 Derby Street in Salem. As soon as I check out the place
I will report on it.
