Carpe Vinum 121 - Salisbury

Some people say that this restaurant is too expensive and upscale for Salisbury, but it’s not just another mediocre steakhouse with massive freezers serving takeout, like what locals are accustomed to. This establishment truly values fresh ingredients and embodies the artistry of genuine fine dining. The duck I ordered was cooked to perfection, and the accompanying sauce started off sweet but smoothly transitioned to a rich, buttery flavor. The chef clearly has exceptional talent. I've heard locals refer to Olive Garden as fine dining, which says a lot about the general perception here. This town is in need of cultural enrichment, and this restaurant is a fantastic place to introduce that much-needed education.

We visited for the first time tonight, and it was just what I hoped for. I had the duck, and it was on par with restaurants of similar caliber. I'm really glad that Salisbury finally has an upscale dining option. The prices are reasonable for the high quality offered and not overpriced. We have been looking forward to a place like this for quite some time. The service was excellent, and we will definitely be coming back! Thank you!

We chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, and it was a wonderful decision! The atmosphere, service, and food were all fantastic. A special mention goes to our server, Zoe, who is one of the best we’ve ever had, and we've dined at many fine restaurants across the U.S. To top it off, the staff surprised us with an anniversary card at the end of our meal—these thoughtful touches really make a difference. Thank you for making our day so special; we will definitely return!

We love the place. Nicely lite and friendly staff. The food is delicious. The bread with the truffle butter is DELICIOUS. The food is just AWESOME. Once you enter the place, you transformed to another world. Come and experience it for yourself..

First off people don?t know how to properly review and use Googles beta description. It?s how much did you spend per person, not how much did you spend on your date/outing with group. So if your bill is $100 what?s 50% of that, right, easy enough. Secondly it?s small plates. Here?s how to do it if you have never been to a place like this before. They bring you a wine and drink menu, you order that first. They will let you know the specials, and give you the food menu everything is small plates so that being said order a soup and salad for your first course and you and your date choose 3 different items on the menu. They will bring you a small clean plate, and my that time your soup or salad, when you finish that the first small plate will come, right as you finish the second will come followed by the last. Napkin goes in your lap folks it?s not a BBQ joint. 3rd: There is not a dress code on the door but if it?s summer time dress like you are going golfing and if it?s winter dress like you are going to Sunday night church, comfortable but still nice, it?s okay to wear a sports jacket too, you won?t stand out. The staff was wonderful, the food was delicious, service was amazing, and it?s definitely one of the nicest places in town. I?m not from or live in Salisbury but was visiting family. For this town it?s a step up from all the BBQ joint, fast food restaurants, and family style houses, but it?s good that there is something nice in that town. Also this isn?t a place for takeout, a place you ask if y?all have coke products, showing up at 9pm without reservations etc, I read all the negative reviews and came to the conclusion that those people are mainly stupid, dumb, or didn?t know better and are embarrassed so they gave the place a 1 star instead of going on down the road and picking up their fast food normals. Oh, almost forgot, make reservations, takes like 5 seconds and you should be able to do it from google or their website directly.
