Tablefive08 - Salem

We were unable to dine here. We checked the website and made a reservation through OpenTable, only to drive 30 minutes and find the restaurant closed! I understand that COVID has affected many businesses, but they should at least keep their website updated, especially regarding booking availability.

Even during the COVID times, it was a pleasant dinner. The atmosphere isn't quite the same as it used to be, but the food and service were still great!

Great food, great service. Our server was attentive, and gave good recommendations. Chicken wing starter was very well presented, New York steak was cooked perfectly to my request, and the salmon with succotash was outstanding. Creme brûlée for dessert was a great pick by our server. Will definitely return to try other parts of their menu.

Matt is a great server. It is freezing when seated near the front door this time of the year. Can’t you improve that situation? My fried chicken was “ok”, but I wasn’t expecting the cayenne pepper in the batter. Not a fan of that. My wife’s hamburger was “very rare,” approaching raw, except for the searing on the outside. Rob makes the best martinis in Salem.

We enjoyed our dinner at TableFive08. Whenever we want to go out for a quality dining experience we always choose TableFive08. John and Martha Uggen
