Paradiso at the Grand Theatre

Absolutely amazing. All around. Our waitress was wonderful, so attentive and sweet. Our cocktails were delicious and strong. Every course of the evening was delicious. We had fresh bread with a fancy butter and balsamic, so good. Our steaks were cooked perfectly at medium rare as requested, with thoughtful and perfect sides. My dad could not stop raving about the Gorgonzola mashed potatoes and the potato gratin that the rest of us had was so delicious. Fresh perfectly cooked carrots and green bean casserole that reminded me of my Nana’s but with a fancy twist :) Between each course was a special treat, a palate cleanser that was also yummy and unique. This was the best restaurant dining experience I’ve had in a very, very long time- not just in Salem, but in many other cities too. I really hope they stick around for a long time. The price is worth the punch, the experience, the delicious food, it is so worth it. Can’t wait to visit again! Thank you to all who helped us have an amazing experience tonight. Cheers!

I don't know how I never noticed a new cuisine took over this spot but I am SUPER glad we walked by. Service was amazing right at the beginning and all the way to the end. Robyn the mixologist (I hope I spelled your name right) was able to conjure me up an amazing blood orange cosmopolitan. My partner highly recommends the salted blood orange old fashion. Dinner was amazing I wish I took a photo of our appetizer but you have to try the Brussels Sprouts. 10/10 would highly recommend and I know where I'll be bringing my friends when they visit. Thank you to the staff that made my dinner 💯 enjoyable.

Went here for Valentine's Day dinner with my wife. We didn't realize it was a prix fix menu, but the courses were all super good, so it was totally worth it. My wife had the wine pairings, which she really enjoyed. I had some sort of chocolate Manhattan, which was great. I was a little nervous because I don't really like chocolate flavored cocktails normally, but this had just a hint of cocoa, which actually added a new dimension to the drink. All of the courses were excellent. They were well prepared and delicious. The salad was very fresh. The crab potato cakes were really well done, and though I don't like crab, the sauces were really great, and paired nicely with it. I especially liked the raspberry puree with salsa Verde and bearnaise. I had a filet and my wife had duck. Both were perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. The desert was a great size and just sweet enough. The wait staff was great. Our server was very attentive. The bartender/sommelier was very helpful without being snooty, which is a hard line to walk... Overall we were very happy with the experience and will definitely be back to try their more standard menu!
