Mainstay Social

Mainstay Social is the restaurant inside the Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites on Pickering Wharf, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner every day plus late-night drinks. The menu runs to more than 50 items, mixing American fusion dishes with comfort food, seasonal New England classics and fresh local seafood. The full bar pours a global wine list, bottled and draft beers, signature cocktails and themed martinis, and the outdoor patio is a natural spot for specialty cocktails and spirits.

The hotel’s Regatta Pub, which has a modern look with nautical touches, serves meals indoors and on a seasonal patio and works for family meals as well as cocktails with colleagues. Catering for events at the hotel ranges from American fusion and comfort food to New England classics and a traditional clambake, with the chef and event planners building custom menus from appetizers to desserts and bar service.
