Ledger is one of my favorite restaurants in Salem. I try to go at least once a month however I have back to back reservations this week to celebrate spooky season being over. Not only is the food always delicious and amazing quality the staff is always happy to serve you and very accommodating and welcoming. The spooky drink specials are always fun although it’s the Ledger Painkiller that gets my vote every time! My go to is either the burger, the pasta, or the half chicken but you can’t go wrong with anything and it’s a sin if you skip the popovers

First time here, it was definitely worth a stop. The food and service were great, I had one of the best corned beef sandwiches here. And I'm from NY so I think that says a lot. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely loved my dinner here! I decided to take myself out as a treat and got the Gravedigger’s Fix cocktail, a glass of Riesling, the jerk jackfruit roti sliders, the fried trout, and the chocolate torta and everything was incredible. Every flavor was balanced perfectly, and I wish I could buy a whole container of the crab fat hot sauce 😮‍💨

All was great. We were seated immediately. Server was great. Food was great. We were headed to a show at the Cabot, so we appreciated how everything flowed without a hitch.

    Literally the best spicy rigatoni I've ever had in my life. Sharon was an incredible server. Would absolutely return to everytime I come to the area.
