"When I knew we would be visiting Salem on our honeymoon I started looking into local restaurants. Made our reservation early as it would be busy season. So glad we did this; there was a line of people waiting outside for a table when we arrived. The server had great enthusiastic energy which made us even more excited to be there. He also made note of our honeymoon celebration and engaged in conversation with us about our trip so far. He was helpful when we asked him questions about the menu and suggested some items which were ordered. He also shared some haunted history with us which is perfect for a pre-Halloween dinner in Salem! For appetizers we ordered lobster bisque and mussels. The lobster was designated as being award winning. We found the bisque somewhat disappointing. We only found a few bits of lobster in the chowder. The flavor was great but needed more lobster. The mussels were exceptional and fresh. Simmered in a savory butter lemon sauce and served with bread for dipping. We could not get enough of this item. Luckily for us the app included about 2 dozen mussels. We both picked the same entree, the seafood medley. You get haddock, shrimp, and scallops. You can choose to have them fried or broiled. We went with broiled and topped with breadcrumbs, at the suggestion of our server. I picked asparagus and mashed potatoes for my sides. All of the food was melt in your mouth delicious. The shrimp and scallops were massive. Cooked perfectly and some of the best seafood I have ever tried. For dessert we were given the choice of a complimentary item to celebrate our honeymoon. We were so full but went with the pumpkin cheesecake. Perfect flavors for the season! I will dream of the day I can visit again. Such a treat!"

Fantastic, fresh seafood and upstanding service. Their crab cakes were excellent and our family really enjoyed our meal. After being turned down from every restaurant on halloween weekend, Turners welcomed us in. Thank you!!

Amazing accommodating. I loved the gentleman who was shucking oysters. I ordered food. He asked what I ordered and suggested the catch of the day and changed my order. The all time best.... Fish I ever ate in my life. I will forever be grateful for the blessing he bestowed on my palette. I will be going back! View menu

Went here to eat with some friends and loved it. Our waitress was prompt and personable. The bread loaf is warm and delicious and we devoured it. We also loved the hake Marsala- never had anything quite like it and I wish I could have had more appetite to eat everything on the plate. The cocktails could use a bit of work in my opinion- they were the one thing I wasn't very impressed with.

I was in Boston visiting from the west coast and of course needed to try the seafood and clam chowder! Turner's was a great choice! The restaurant has a cozy vibe and the whole menu looked good! Many restaurants in the area ask if you've made reservations so It's probably a good idea to make those on the weekend. However, I was still seated quickly without reservations. I went for a late lunch and tried the clam chowder, risotto lobster cake, and Mac n cheese. It was chilly outside and these were a delicious and satisfying way to warm up!

The atmosphere is nice, the wait staff were very nice and attentive . We both got the clam chowder and it was fantastic! Nice and creamy like it should be. I got the crab cake sandwich with jasmine rice and the vegetable medley. It was the best crab cake I've had and I have to say better than any I have had in Maryland and it's what they're known for! The tartar sauce that came with it was very tastey and I am not one for tartar sauce. My husband got the fish and chips and he said it reminded him of what he got when he was in England. We will definitely be back! View menu

My sisters (3 of us) and I patroned this restaurant for the first time. We are from out of town and saw the great reviews, so we decided to give it a try. When we arrived, the gentleman at the hostess table seemed short and rude, while telling us there would be a 30-45 minute wait. We decided to wait outside and within a few minutes we saw several other walk-ins seated before us. We then decided to ask and were seated right away. Once seated, our waitress, Deedee, seemed very nice until I placed my order (the lobster pie) and she very condescendingly told me the price (as if I couldn 't read the price on the menu). After our dinner we asked to speak to the manager and the man that came over...

I recently went to Turner 's with my two sisters. We were excited to dine here because of the reviews. As soon as we entered the restaurant that excitement decreased. We were met by the host who was very rude and short with us and told us to come back in 30-45 mins. As we waited outside we saw several parties some smaller and larger than ours (none that looked like us) get seated quickly. We return back to the restaurant about 10 minutes later and the host was still rude but quickly sat us. Our server was DeeDee who seemed pleasant until my sister ordered the Lobster Pie and promptly told my sister the price in such a condescending tone; as if my sister couldn 't afford it or she couldn 't r...
