Alexis
Came here for a Christmas work party; Bentlys has a very cozy and warm atmosphere, and the service is amazing. Staff is patient and was quick to serve for my spouse's work party. Food was cooked perfectly and everyone loved what they got whether it was salmon/pork/steak. Highly recommend for date night or a work party đ The restaurant itself is inside the hotel lobby and the left.

Went for my birthday dinner. Great food, drinks, and service. The braised short rib was so delicious and tender!

During a recent business trip to Salem, Oregon, I dined at Bentleyâs Grill inside the Grand Hotel Salem and had an exceptional experience. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including skirt steak with fries, French onion soup, margarita pizza, and the pork chop special, all of which were delicious and beautifully presented. The cocktails were all very good and complemented our meals perfectly. The service was great, with attentive and friendly staff. Bentleyâs Grill is a fantastic dining option in Salem, and I highly recommend it.

Food is fresh, yummy and worth trying. Service is standard for Salem. Atmosphere is hit or miss depending on when you go. We went for an early dinner around 4:30/5:00pm and it was pretty empty. Music was terrible and wasnât fitting. Maybe this is me just being an old lady before my time, but Nickleback was not the right vibe for a steak dinner. Overall the food is good if youâre looking for a freshly made steak dinner.

I swore I wouldnât review anymore. But they pulled me back in. Our server took very good care of us. The food came promptly and everything was amazing. Decent wine list to pair with the food as well. I had the steak. It was prepared just how I ordered and very flavorful. Would happily recommend at stop here. They are beating Rudyâs as of late.

I went here with my wife for a very nice date night. It was amazing there was a lot of awesome servers that made the date extraordinary. It was a spectacular experience â¨ď¸ đ you enter this restaurant through a hotel lobby. Even the hotel staff was nice and pointed me in the right direction. Good place to go on a date. The food was amazing. See photos đ¸

Iâve been here many years ago and loved it. My husband and I was there for dinner tonight and I had a different experience. The appetizers were awesome. We got the truffle fries and crab cakes. The slaw with the crab cakes was delicious. The service was great. The entrees just werenât great. It was as if it hadnât been seasoned or maybe they forgot? We both had chicken dishes. They looked pretty, but we were really disappointed. We maybe had five bites and I just didnât want it. The chicken was cooked perfectly though. Also, there was a TON of food on the floor under the table and silverware. There was a napkin shoved under the table to keep it from wobbling.

My husband and I shared appetizers and a small salad that filled us up. The crab cakes, clams and octopus were a seafood combo that were very tasty and the house salad was always delicious with just enough dressing. A very enjoyable birthday dinner!
