La Capitale is light and bright, sitting on a street corner in Salem. My brother John and I sat at a window seat and had crepes, and they were good. We drank Chardonney, which was also tasty. This place attracts a large lunch crowd, including lots of state employees, since the capitol building is only a few blocks away. The... More

The food preparation and presentation is excellent. It is a small and comfortable venue that will enjoy. Your menu options will allow you to experiment with new combinations. Very well worth it.

Waste of money, go somewhere else. Poor service, the food is meh. Im not going to waste anymore time writing this review, I already wasted enough time at this place.

My husband and I have eaten here a few times both for brunch on a weekend (excellent) and at night for dinner.

I went to the restaurant's web site earlier in the day to explore their menu and found making a reservation online an easy and pleasant experience. La Capitale is located on... More

We sent it back. They cooked us some fresh,which was nice, but we sat for 10 minutes before anyone told us we were getting new... More

Very nicely prepared food in a friendly environment. Vegetarian friendly and healthy food and really fantastic desserts. Don't miss it.

This is my favorite place in Salem to have a drink. I've actually never eaten in the dining room, because the atmosphere in the bar is so great. I credit the bartender, Rob, for that feeling of welcome. He is like an old friend as soon as you meet him. He infuses his own liquors, and he can make anything... More
