Davinci's Ristorante Romantic 180 High ST., S.E., Salem (503) 399-1413  Love the food. The bar is one of the nicest in Salem (though I miss the old bartender, Carl).

Lanxang Lao Thai Cusine Thai 5080 Commercial Street Southeast, Salem (503) 588-2220  It's hard to find authentic thai food, but when I came upon Lanxang I was extremely excited. The food is fresh, the waiter is definitely a hard worker, and the owners are so friendly. Although it's a small place that unfortunately sits next to the ...

#7	Gas Light Bar & Grill American, Sports Bar and Grill 2865 Liberty Street Northeast, Salem (503) 399-8282  No kids allowed here any more. Which is fine with me. Great food try the Deep fried prawns the Calamari and the Seafood Pasta. Great drink deals too.

Saigon Restaurant Korean, Vietnamese 477 Court Street Northeast, Salem (503) 588-7633  This little pocket restaurant in downtown Salem offers good food at a great price.

Willamette Noodle Company 1405 Broadway Street Northeast, Salem (503) 399-9992  My Italian friends are impressed with how the pasta is prepared here - that's my first clue.

#10	Porter's Pub American, Brewery/Pub/Tavern 4820 River Road North, Salem (503) 393-3269  As and Irish woman I like this place. The sheperds pie is good. Not like home, but not a bad place for Fish and Chips and a pint.
