Good food, bad service! Try the Crispy chicken salad it is to die for.
the food was horrible, service was poor, and the place was a mess
i can't believe they allow such filth in a beautiful state like oregon. my family was extremely disappointed in the service and quality at the restuarant.
The service was really terrible. We waited 30 minutes before the waiter came to take our drink order. It was probably 20 minutes after that until drinks arrived. The waiter apologized repeatedly but the service never improved. Food was above average for Salem.
this restaurant is excellent!! the service and the food are wonderful and the live music is probably the best part if you can make it on saturday nights to see the alessandro's quartet, led by salem-area guitarist bill hughes. trombonist keller coker is a regular, and the bassist and drummers vary, ...
My favorite restaurant! Superior food, couples atmosphere.
This is an awesome restaurant with an amazing atmosphere. Good place where couples can go and enjoy a wonderful time. Guests are sorrounded by amazing artwork and nice relaxing live music weekend nights. Service is great with nice servers and hostesses.
Alessandro's has become a hip, happy and happening place since changing ownership about three years ago. We dine there at least once a month. Why? One is surrounded by outstanding artwork wherever you sit. The food is consistently good -- especially the filet mignon -- the wine list is excellent, a...
By far the best dining experience we've had south of Portland. A must stop on our way back from Beaver games -- great martinis, excellent filet mignons, Oregon Pinots, and nonstop service. And did I mention it is also the best art gallery in the state! Don't miss this place when you're in Salem.

We had a reservation at 7 and weren't waited on until 7:30. Our complimentary appetizers arrived at 8, salads at 8:30 we finally left the place at 9:30. Only 1 server for a busy Saturday. Food was just okay. Mac & Cheese was more like fat pasta noodles. Salmon quiche was bland. Went there for a bi...

I so wanted to like this restaurant--Salem is in need. However, I found the service slow, and the food overpriced and much less exciting than the menu promised. I get the feeling the place is trying to be something it's not.
Last Valentine's Day was by far the worst experience I've ever had. We made reservations at 7:30 for six people. Amadeus was packed in their normal seating area - and they had tables crammed into every nook and cranny that was normally nice open space. We STOOD in the waiting area for an hour and...
Food was excellent, however service was horrible and always has been. It took twenty minutes to get a drink order in. HELLO? A waiter brought water after ten minutes but didnt even ask if we needed anything.
Food was very greasy. The atmosphere is somewhat bizzare (restaurant is in an office building). Decent service. Would not return for dinner. May be fine for lunch.
I've eaten at Amadeus several times and have yet to have a bad meal, the menu has variety & the food rich flavors, it's difficult to find a favorite as they're ALL so good!
The service does need some improvement, as they've been busy when I've been there ... otherwise definately a good meal experie...
was in for dinner 7-31-10, brought along 13 friends (most first time dners here) to share this lovely experience because I think A. is one of the best places around. Still do, but my faith is a bit shaken in that when I mentioned several of us found the salads we had to be too salty (couldn't eat m...
I love Amadeus! The food is excellent! Very unassuming little place but you can't go wrong if you are looking for something tasty to eat. The hummus is a must-try and the desserts - to die for!
Great neighborhood place, excellent food and a great option for Salem. Service is VERY accommodating. Interesting menu with a variety of options.
I've eaten at Amadeus for many years starting when they where located in the Salem Library. Who cares if they are now in an office building... you go for the food which is fabulous.
I think this restaurant can go up against any other fine dining establishment anywhere without hesitation.
