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

My maple glazed salmon was excellent, as were the sides of butternut squash, spinach, asparagus, and wild rice - My husband's cod was equally great - The creme brulee trio was perfect for dessert - The only reason that I didn't give the service a 5* is that the restaurant seemed to be a little short staffed and it looked to us that our waitress was the only one hustling to get her tables taken car of - We would definitely recommend 75 Chestnut and we will be going back.

We had a incredibly enjoyable evening at Ostra. The food was delicious and the space was beautiful. I am especially appreciate of the manager, who dropped by during our meal and checked in to see how it was going. Would recommend to anyone visiting Boston or celebrating a special day!
