Review from Zagat Boston 2004/05:           Food 26 Decor 21 Service 23 Cost $39   The Grapevine 26 Congress Street Salem, MA 01970 (978) 745-9335 A "top pick for fine dining on the North Shore", this "gourmet" "treasure" across from Pickering Wharf in Salem "compares favorably with some of the best restaurants in Boston"; it's "hard to decide what to order among so many wonderful choices" on Kate Hammond's "adventurous", "seasonal" New American menu, but "it's all good" and it's delivered by a "welcoming" staff in a "romantic" dining room and out in the "lovely" garden. Food, decor, and service are rated on a scale of 0-30. Cost represents what you can expect to pay for 1 dinner, drink and a tip.
