"Some great Japanese fusion and Japanese inspired food! One of the best meals my entire group had during our long weekend in the Boston area. Breakdown below: Service, 3.5/5 The hostess was very helpful and even though we were told there was going to be a 30+ minute wait, we were called in after just 10 minutes and promptly seated. Our server was really nice and let us know the water cups were being washed so that would be delayed, which was no problem, but she never ended up bringing us water the entire meal and only got glasses as we were paying. After the first few minutes, we also weren't able to find her to flag her down about the water, but I understand it must be particularly busy during Halloween season in Salem. Decor and cleanliness, 5/5 Although the restaurant seemed crowded, we were able to stay socially distanced from other patrons in a booth and the interior was decorated in a really rustic and fun way. The bar lights up so all the drinks look like they glow in the dark, and there's a lower level with a bar area as well. The patio was really cute under string lights too when we passed by on our way out. Presentation of the food, 5/5 All very well put together, especially the salmon bowl I got. It just looked fantastic! Price and portion, 4.5/5 The price is just a taaaad high, but the portions are perfectly sized so overall reasonable for the area. Taste of the food, 5/5 Everything we ordered was delicious!! Such a satisfying meal after all the window shopping and touring we did. Here's a detailed breakdown: Cold noodles, 5/5: Made with avocado and chilled noodles, the dish was somehow both creamy but still refreshing. A great vegetarian option that my friend ordered as an entree! Salmon bowl, 4.5/5: The beautiful presentation, generous portion of fresh fish (perfect fish to rice ratio), and perfect size made this one of my favorite meals in the Boston area. I only wish I got water during the meal to help cut the spice from the chili mayo on the rice. Also! Be aware that they season the rice already at the bottom of the bowl which you can't see at first, so there's probably no need to add soy sauce to your fish. It ended up being a little too salty but that's my own fault because I should have mixed up the bowl first. A bit more cucumber and orange would've also made it a perfect 5/5 to cut the spice and saltiness, but again I think it was a byproduct of not having water and adding soy sauce when the rice was actually already seasoned. Coconut curry, 5/5: My friend ordered this and really enjoyed it! I also tried some and the sauce is savory and sweet, a really nice combo and also a great vegan option. Overall, lovely experience!"

The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The sushi was very fresh with no complaints. However, parking can be difficult, especially on weekends.

The service at this restaurant was excellent, with a fantastic selection of music and reasonably priced drinks. Our server was attentive and recommended a delicious local IPA.
Isabella
The food at this restaurant is delicious. I make the trip from Boston every few weeks just for the bacon wrapped dates. The staff, especially Sammy, are all amazing. I paired my Knob Creek with a smores dessert and it was perfect! Make sure to come early and have time to hang out - this is the best place in Salem.

Came here last minute for dinner since we were on the area. The place was packed and we almost didn't make it there. Gladly they had a seat for us and for the toddler. Service was good. Reasonable and timely service considering how busy they are. The server was pretty nice and accommodating as well. Would probably come back when in the area View menu
Kristina
Cute stop on our drive. We were disappointed in the food but the service was great. We ordered the Korean chili cauliflower which was deep friend cauliflower with no flavor. We had to ask for extra sauce but didn't quite help. We also got the wedge salad and fried haddock tacos which satiated our hunger. Seems like a great spot to grab a drink.

Delicious cocktails Climbing Rose (left), Maria Cantata (right) tequila, spiced plum. Bartender was very nice had some drinks and then the post stickers and harvest risotto both tasty. It can be tricky in Salem to eat during October but we came late afternoon and sat right down then proceeded to watch the place fill up around 5. Would definitely come back
Tulsi
Overall great service, our server was very helpful in offering suggestions and pointing out seasonal items on the menu. The sushi was great, however the crab rangoon fell a little short lacking the typical deep fried flavors. We ordered the strawberry yuzu dessert which had good flavor, but the cake part was a little dry. Atmosphere was intimately late, perfect for a date or drinks. I would come here again for drinks and light sushi snack. View menu

We joined the Yelp waitlist on Sunday during Halloweekend and expected the wait to be lengthy; however, within 25 minutes of walking around town, we were notified that our table was ready. When we arrived at Opus, we were seated immediately at a booth. Everything was great about this place the food, the drinks, the ambience, the service. I never get my hopes up ordering sushi around the greater Boston area, but I had to give it a try after seeing all the great views. And thank goodness I wasn't disappointed; everything felt fresh and the portions were filling. Opus could easily be a nice hangout area for drinks and bar snacks on game night or just a nice change from all the Italian and Ameri...

Food pictured. Was great and cooked perfectly. The environment was amazing. It gave a mix of mature and fancy vibes without being too pricey despite being in a prime tourist location of downtown town Salem. It's near the train station so it can get busy but it is worth the wait if you encounter one. Extensive drink and sushi menu. The drinks are not your average drinks either. These are specially crafted and to go with the seasons. I tried one with a jalapeño infused mezcal but was not a fan because of how deep the smoky flavor was. Ordering a mezcal though, I should have expected that so it was on me. Luckily the bar tender made me a jalapeño infused tequila margarita instead which was amaz...
