The Grapevine restaurant's courtyard has been described by Fodor's Travel Guide as a "trip back to Tuscany". Such a description perhaps may be a little enthusiastic ( no one will likely ever mistake the North Shore's environs for the Tuscan country side ) however it nevertheless testifies to the wonderful atmosphere provided by the Grapevine's outdoor courtyard for dining alfresco.

to Salem

16 miles north of Boston (approximately a 35-45 minute drive), Salem sits in the heart of Massachusetts' North Shore. From beaches to museums, to antique shops and architecture, the North Shore area provides a wide variety of interests, outdoor activities and entertainment for locals and tourists alike.

In the evening, numerous visitors and residents on the North Shore make it a point to finish off their summer's day by dining outdoors in the Grapevine's garden.
