The food at this place is incredible. I would recommend either the Macedonia Plate, or the Villagers plate. Both of these plates offer a variety of greek specialties and are reasonably priced. The service was top of the line. We had a young woman wait on us for dinner, and she made our first gre...
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.
We went for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it! It has been recently redone, and the ambiance is warm and relaxing. There was no rush to get us to pay the bill and scram, and our server was funny and engaging. Like it, love it, I'd do it again!
We met Dianna the Chef...Dianna, Priscilla here, you lived up to more than everything in our rehearsal dinner for 45 people! The best steak, duck and salmon and everyone appreciated your first class cooking. Bless you Dianna, Bless you for how wonderful this restaurant is!!
Reading the reviews, I thought I had written them all!
I love Amadeus Cafe and think Salem is so fortunate to have a chef so passionate about food.
I have never had a bad meal at Amadeus and eat there 1-2x per month. I would eat there everyday but I would probably be as big as a house because...
We ate At Amadeus a few months ago. Absolutely fabulous!! Excellent food, nothing normal about it. Service was good as well.
This little pocket restaurant in downtown Salem offers good food at a great price. I don't normally like buffets, for the quality usually suffers, but the Saigon's $6.95 lunch buffet features really nicely prepared dishes (all chicken, except for a few vegetarian selections) such as lemongrass, Hun...
My Italian friends are impressed with how the pasta is prepared here - that's my first clue. My mouth waters when I drive by - my second clue. And the fact that when the food is served, everyone stops talking and starts moaning and grunting - that's my third and final clue to a great place to eat!
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.

We've been eating out in Salem for several years -- and Da Vinci's had been one of our favorites. But now the staff and service are very spotty, the food so-so, and the atmosphere . . . a bit contrived. And it is very, very noisy. Too noisy to want to come back. AWWWFFUULL NOISY!
i was really impressed with how much the new owners turned this place around. they are commited to giving you a fine dining experience. excellent food great quality!!!!!!!!
Fabulous! Easily one of the nicest restaurants in Portland. The food is great! Perfect beginning or end to a night at the Elsinore!
I usually do take out. The price is right and the food is really good. Lunch time is very busy. The only things to be cautious of is the time they are open. They are not open on Sundays and they are not open mid day!
Great neighborhood place, excellent food and a great option for Salem. Service is VERY accommodating. Interesting menu with a variety of options.
Amazing atmosphere. Combinations of bowls are different than anywhere else. Food was delecious. This is the most bang for your buck in Salem! A must try!
Busick Court is one of my FAVORITE restuarants in Salem. Anything on the menu is worth ordering. The portion sizes are HUGE and the prices are reasonable. The seating is limited, however, and it is almost always crowded. I was most impressed when I asked about reservations for Father's Day and was t...
This place is excellent. The cooks always do a great job grilling up your choice selections, and you really can't complain about the food because you are the one who chooses it. It's all you can eat as well, so you should never leave hungry.
Love the food. The bar is one of the nicest in Salem (though I miss the old bartender, Carl). HOWEVER..... the reason I don't eat at this restaurant more often is that it is thunderingly noisy!!!! This restaurant has the food and ambience that would beautifully suit a romantic dinner EXCEPT for th...
The food at this restaurant is to die for, amazing breakfasts. The service on the other hand is the worst. We went in one time and 6 of the 15 tables were empty and there were five parties waiting.
This restaurant is ok, nothing extraordinary but not bad either.
