Bentley's

“Mother's Day Brunch - May 2026 ' Party of 2 Adults. Perfect setting for adult Brunch without the long lines and craziness. We were seated promptly by the Manager on duty in a cozy booth table. Service was friendly and cordial. I really love the ambiance of Bentley's at the Grand Hotel in Salem. The high ceilings make it a very spacious feel without feeling crowded. The dark wood paneling decor gives off a gentlemen's club vibe, but without the cigar smoke filling the air or loud obnoxious talking. My wife loved her custard like French Toast and I absolutely devoured my Chicken Fried Chicken with Chorizo gravy. The highlight of the Brunch was our Baked Brie appetizer. A wonderful blend of flavors all in one dish. We hope this Mother's Day Brunch is an annual mark your calendar item for Bentley's. We will definitely be back.”

“Bentley's is truly in their prime! I never ate there before they closed during Covid, but I have heard lots of loyal customers throughout Salem area claim that pre-Covid was their prime time, but I think they have found it again. I got the NY Steak (medium rare), which comes with broccolini, garlic & herb fingerlings, mushrooms, & bordelaise, with a extra side of asparagus & a small Caesar salad with chicken. If that would have been my last meal ever, I could have died happy. I haven't had much of an appetite in a long time for anything, & this proved that there is still life in my tastebuds! In recent times, I have also had their Fettucine, pizzettes, poutine (also amazing), chicken, I tried their porkchop from someone else. If I could afford it, I would have anything from here any night. However, the value is worth it when I can! You guys are doing something right.”

“Walking into Bentley’s felt like stepping into a Christmas postcard—the entryway decked out in festive décor set the perfect cozy vibe. - Apricot-cured pork belly tacos with pickled shallots + cilantro for the perfect balance of flavor. - Blackened salmon over pea lentils and leeks—perfectly balanced. - Mac n’ cheese leveled up with smoked gouda, bacon, and a juicy chicken breast. - Daily special: pea risotto with chanterelle mushrooms (don’t judge the pic, it was divine!). IIf you’re craving that warm holiday ambiance and unforgettable bites, Bentley’s is the Salem icon you need to visit this season.”

“During a recent business trip to Salem, Oregon, I dined at Bentley’s 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. Bentley’s Grill is a fantastic dining option in Salem, and I highly recommend it.”

“We came to Salem to support a friend and her husband during body building state championships at the Salem Convention Center. She suggested we try the restaurant that’s connected to the hotel they’re staying at and to the center. Bentleys. It was around 6:30 on a Saturday night. Not too busy in the dining room yet. There was a 40 top in the other room though. Hostess accommodated us with seating. Our waitress seemed friendly enough. We were her fourth table and I’m not sure if she had the 40 top but saw her and others running stuff to them. I ordered the Alfredo and the Caesar salad. At first, I loved the salad. Once I wrapped my head around it being served in 4 wedges. I got to the last wedge and noticed movement. A worm, larvae, maggot, something dropped out from the end of the salad. Like it had been in the dressing and it crawled its way out. The waitress hadn’t been back to the table since taking the order so I had this worm thing just crawling around my plate and my fork. Less and less appealing. I’m finally able to wave her over. At first, she didn’t see it. But it was literally moving so yeah, you see it. I was offered another salad 😅😂 yeah big fat nope. This was the last wedge. I’d already eaten three of them. Who knows how many of these worms/larvae were in those. I’m pregnant and can’t even eat deli meat. An unknown worm/larvae/parasite I could’ve possibly ingested. She said she told the chef (not the manager) and he said they get fresh lettuce every 2 days and they do rinse it but things happen. She took the salad off the bill and offered free dessert. No manager ever came to the table. This is THEE barest minimum offer for this level. The entrees came. Alfredo was dry and it had a broccoli thing on top I was actually looking forward to trying when I ordered it, but I definitely was not eating anything green from this place. Boxed most of it as I was paying for it and I probably won’t be eating it. Got a chocolate cake free dessert. My four year old loved that. Thank you. So I do not recommend the salad here. Nor have any faith in the management, if they were even told. Ironically the bill was $86… please 86 the worms. Have a video too, can’t upload it here though.”
