Babsy and I had lunch at Bentley's Grill in Salem, Oregon. What a wonderful setting, with high ceilings, windows along the sidewalk, enormous decorative plates on one wall . . . very artsy decor. The bar is long and tall, with hundreds of gleaming bottles reaching nearly to the ceiling. We sat by the gas fire-pit in the dining room... More

Bentley's is one of those hit or miss places for me. I've been there well over 10 times and most of the time I'm really happy with the food, drinks and service. However, I have sent food back because of it being bland. Their drinks are awesome though, never tasted watered down, 5 stars for drinks. The service is always... More

Very nice venue that provides good food at an affordable price. Dark wood enhances the atmosphere. The bar area is extensive and the drinks are excellent. Meet friends for drinks or sit down to a delicious meal that will remind you of great times. Check it out!

It was a quiet, nicely decorated restaurant right in our hotel. Great comfort food- good wine. After coming from California, it was nice to have some good, plain food without all the "reduction sauces"

Food was surprisingly good! We had a nice dinner and nice ambiance. The pork chop was likely the best I've ever had!

On our way home from Portland to Roseburg, we stopped at Salem for dinner, googled restaurant and saw a 4 star steak restaurant named Bentley's Grill. Tried it, was good. Good atmosphere, staff was friendly, I ordered the duck and lamb dish, was very tasty. in the $$$ range, worth every penny.

We went to Bentley's for a family birthday dinner. The food was good, we all had different items. The pasta was plentiful, and tasty, the steak was good as was all the other food. ( duck, lamb, red snapper etc.) We were happy to order lovely deserts. The service was excellent and timely even though some of our guests arrived... More

We went for the second time thinking things might be different but food was way overpriced and we received very small portions. We think the price was probably high because of the ambience. Which was very dark. They closed of their south entrance which makes it very difficult for us with walking diablities. You have to walk a great distance... More

Great food, prices and wonderful decor in the restaurant. Center Fire Pit in part of the restaurant, big bar, ample seating, artisan pizza brick oven. I ate lunch here. The staff was great and the food was tasty. I would eat here again.

WE meeet another couple, very close friends of ours for cocktails and dinner at Bentley's on the average of once a month. We spend a couple of hours catching up, enjoying the atmosphere, drink and food, and have never been disappointed.
