Turners Seafood @ Lyceum Hall

The absolute BEST Lobster bisque & New England Clam Chowder on the planet. There is no better. I swear. We come from NJ every October just to eat. I promise you'll love it. Plus the owners are amazing, the staff is accommodating & friendly & the restaurant is lovely. Fine dine, artisan dishes & creative drinks. The seafood is so fresh, they even have a fresh seafood market where you can purchase soups in half gallon sizes & fresh seafood to go. Amazing quality. A MUST if you're in the area

First, the manager is so warm and welcoming, that alone makes the restaurant 5 star. She was very accommodating and was really interested in talking with us. If you're looking for a nice cup of clam chowder, I'd recommend it as well as the Asian tuna nachos. Sadly, we were not fans of the tuna chili but if you like cumin, you'll like the soup.

We LOVE Turners! The seafood is amazing but the menu is HUGE if you’re with a party who aren’t all seafood fans. This is where I always bring out of town friends because there are so many options but the food is really well-made. I especially love the lobster bisque, the calamari, and the mussels. The pasta is also very good. If you’re into cocktails, I highly recommend the espresso martini. You order online during COVID which I didn’t like at first, but the food and drinks come SO fast that now I hope they keep this forever. This is a great winter spot because the interior is so woodsy and cozy.

My husband and I ate at Turners twice this past week while celebrating our honeymoon. I say twice because we couldn’t go just once! We enjoyed the old style atmosphere and after learning about it’s history throughout tours, we couldn’t get enough! Their lobster bisque soup was out of this world delicious! My husband had the lobster pie and lobster roll which was also amazing. The shrimp scampi was so wonderful. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Salem! Aaron was our waiter and was so welcoming and made sure we were taken care the entire time. We appreciated these wonderful meals and our time spent there! Thank you for a memorable meal, Turners! Hope to see you again soon!

If you're in Salem, you must visit Turner's! The seafood is always super fresh. I highly recommend the lobster bisque, stuffed clams, fresh oysters, and stuffed lobster. They have a seasonal pumpkin beer which is fantastic with a delicious rim! We visit Salem every year and make sure to stop by here. I'd move there just for Turner's. Thank you for a yummy dining experience!

Classic New England seafood and such a warm welcoming environment. Baked scallops with breadcrumbs is a must (wash it done with one of the many local brews). Pay no mind to those leaving poor reviews because they cannot comprehend the protocols and safety measures in place to protect staff and customers. If you choose to dine out in a pandemic you need to do so with empathy. Take your entitlement and cook at home!
