Happen to be sitting nearby the previous reviewer... Really a plate of potatoes? You obviously do not know what goes into preparing the dish. And by the way the ambience is perfect for an Irish Bistro. Dinner was great, the service was quick, drinks were perfect and loved the interaction with the owner was spot on.

Become submerged in the Ireland experience and enjoy a homemade meal. Hubby and I enjoyed our dinner date, Sisters Irish Bistro exceeded our expectations. The waiter was very welcoming and kind. We enjoyed the lovely harmonies played by the harp musician. The presentation of the food appeared delicately placed on our plates and meant to be enjoyed. The delicious homemade food was filled with flavor in every bite! We ordered a shepherds pie and the Whiskey Salmon. Each was an excellent choice! Highly recommend both! The mushrooms, asparagus and mashed potatoes bursted with lovely flavors. Gin and tonic and Guinness were a smooth and delightful choice! Ensure to call a day ahead for the Lamb shank, which we definitely will be back for. Highly recommend!

I came here about a week ago with a friend during COVID when restaurants are having to adapt to a new protocol for running their business. We were seated outside on the street in front of the Elsinore. There were about five other tables with customers and the owner was very attentive to us all. And honestly just hilarious. It felt like being in the tv show Cheers. She bantered and chatted with all the customers while we waited for our food. My friend ordered the shepherd's pie and I ordered the Dublin doodle (Irish sausage, bacon, potato, and carrots cooked in Guinness). The servings were huge! The owner said that all of her food was fresh and made to order and it definitely tasted that way. I would have recommended either dish as they were both awesome. I took half of mine home and it was even better the next day as the flavors had more time to marinade with each other. I like having places like this in Salem with unique food offerings and the owner bringing her culture to our community. I would definitely go back.

We ate here for my birthday dinner. We had sausage rolls and cottage pie. The food is awesome and the owner is very witty. This was our first time since they moved out of the Reed Opera House. We'll worth getting authentic Irish food. Tonight we have reservations for dinner with a couple friends. We will visit more often now that we are able to.

We ordered the sausage rolls, Guinness fish and chips and the O'Sullivan mash. Everything was hot and delicious. It was busy and there was a good atmosphere. We will definitely be back

I’ve only eaten here once, but my experience was awesome! The food was so fresh and delicious and presented hot and timely! Our favorite was the shepherds pie which was loaded with delicious whipped potatoes and topped with golden melted cheese! We will be back to try some more authentic Irish food!

Cozy, good food. We had sausage rolls and shepard's pie. The pastry on the sausage roll was like a croissant but the sausage was good. The shepard's pie was tasty and actually made with lamb. There was live music and the service was efficient.

My family and I stumbled upon Sister Irish Bistro, which I would call a total hole-in-the-wall spot with charm. I have read other reviews that it takes while for the food to come out, but come on, this isn’t McDonald’s, right? I got the Shepherd’s pie and it was absolutely delicious. Likely my wife and kids didn’t want any and I got to have it all to myself. My wife went with the lemon salmon, which was equally amazing, though it does come with some mushrooms in the side and she isn’t really a big fan of them. The place has this super cozy, warm vibe that just makes you feel right at home. Sure, it’s not the fastest dining experience, and it’s not the fanciest, but sometimes good food is worth the wait. Definitely a spot I’d recommend for anyone looking for some Irish comfort food with real character. It's definitely worth another visit.
