- MMariePhoenix / Arizona •7 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 16, 2026I love this charming restaurant in Salem, and have brought friends and family there numerous times. Although the menu is limited, the food is delicious and always seasonal. I had a bowl of fantastic roasted squash soup. It had layers of flavor and yumminess. Who would've thought that squash could be elevated so deliciously. I also love their stemware. The stems are so skinny and fragile that I could never keep them safe at my house, but enjoying them at this restaurant feels indulgent. My only wish is that they had a sweeter Riesling - my fav wine. They have bold reds and mainly dry whites. Service is always good. Check this place out. I think you'll be pleased!More infoNoira$$$$• Wine Bar• Salem•4.8
