What our guests are saying

Brice took care of us, party of 7, with top-notch service!!! After we had to walk out of Marco Polo after no one took our order for 45 minutes, we came to Sassy and we were seated with drinks in hand within mi minutes. Food order given and food was out so fast! We the Sassy!

Delicious food and friendly staff. The gf onion rings were divine! My husband really enjoyed his club sandwich. The portions are quite large and hard to finish, so come hungry. We'll definitely be back to try their breakfast offerings.

Just left brunch and had the best breakfast I’ve eaten since moving here! The hot honey chicken and French toast were absolutely delicious. Bryce was friendly, attentive and quick to help without being overbearing or over the top. My wife and I will certainly be back! Best dining experience we have had here in Salem by far!
