Our first time here. And I’ll preface my review by saying I’m not vegan, nor am I vegetarian. I’m not opposed to vegan or vegetarian (or we wouldn’t have come here). I just traditionally like meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, my wife and mother and I came to Venti’s for dinner while in Salem. They each ordered the more traditional meat hamburgers and fries. I decided since it was a vegan-forward restaurant, I’d try a vegan dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You order at the counter and they bring the food to you, so it’s a little more like a diner than a “fine dining” restaurant. Our service was good, quick and friendly. The atmosphere is a bit cold, but not off-putting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ordered the Red Curry Pasta with a Side Salad. Other reviewers seemed to be raving about the red curry, so I thought it was worth a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can see why they rave about it. It was excellent! And the side salad had a variety of ingredients, so it wasn’t “just a side salad”. I tried the avocado ranch dressing and it was fine. Not stellar, but good. The pasta had just the right amount of sauce and was very flavorful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now to the meat. You might expect a vegan-forward restaurant to have meat dishes as kind of an afterthought. But both my wife and mother raved about their burgers. My wife got the Rooster Burger and mom got the traditional House Burger. With meat. And cheese. And fries. They LOVED the burgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of us want to go back next time we’re in Salem and the biggest problem will be deciding what to order. Well done, Venti’s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
