Went to The Tavern at the Hawthorne Hotel and overall it was a really good experience -- the place has that classic Salem/old-hotel vibe and it's a great spot for dinner or drinks. Food was solid and

Awesome tavern restaurant in the lobby of the historic hawthorn hotel. Staff was great; friendly and worked quickly. Food was super tasty and portions did not disappoint.
