Stopped on a hot day for a cool drink. Very enjoyable beer, and friendly staff.Kids entertained themselves with board games. If we are in Salem again, will consider this place for a bite to eat, as food looked good, but we were there just to cool off.

The food was good, but nothing to write home about. The service was very friendly but the staff seemed to be very stretched--there were a number staff members running around busily, but there seemed to be only one waitress attending to everyone. She did a fantastic job and was cheerful and friendly in spite of what was clearly a stressful situation. What should bring you to this cafe is the art and the atmosphere, The reason we enjoyed it so much was the art--if you are a fan of pugs and French bulldogs, you have to come to this cafe. It was wonderful just looking at all the art (even in the restrooms!) and enjoying our food. They also have the nicest t-shirts, which we picked up. We will definitely visit again!

The best Connecticut style lobster roll I've had anywhere, but I recommend ordering it to go. The wait service was terribly slow. I had to ask for our check twice and then after waiting another ten minutes finally had to go hunt down a member of the wait staff to get it so we could pay and leave.

I was looking after my young granddaughter on a beautiful fall day and stopped here for lunch because the patio beckoned me and I wanted some fresh seafood. I enjoyed the grilled octopus which was a bigger portion than I had expected with lovely fingerling potatoes as well as an order of fish tacos that I had to have boxed up to take home. The food was lovely, the service was friendly and the Prosecco made the experience even nicer.

We popped in quite unexpectedly as they were opening just as my daughter got hungry. The big velvet curtains give the impression they are closed, but the keep the cool airless in, just keep going. The cheese appetizer was really delicious. The draft beer options are fun. The turkey sandwich and the Cuban were both delicious. Service was excellent and the manager was friendly.

This was a completely surprising experience for us. Boy did we get more than an ordinary pizza. The crust was a delightful chewy. And the vegetarian Mars Attacks (with breaded eggplant) was amazing, garlicky cheesy deliciousness. Also liked the funky eclectic decor. Very happy with the quick service as well.
