Getting There
Wow what a special lunch at The Salt Room. My bream with beetroot side was absolutely delicious. My husband loved his Ribeye steak with fries and gave it 10/10. I chose the Autumn sweets selection for dessert.. well I can honestly say I can’t remember having a more wonderful dessert in my whole life. 5 tiny but exquisite creations ! My husband loved his generous cheese board too. Lovely service . Highly recommended
Fine dining without the pretence. I’ve only eaten here once (so far) but it did not disappoint. I’ve never heard a bad review either!
We have been to Salt Room more than 5 times now since it opened. We have been as a family, just us two and taken friends there when visiting us. I would say the main reason we have gone back there so many times is that it manages to deliver on each occasion. The kids love the food especially the desert to share called the taste of pier. When it’s just the two of us we arrive early and it ourselves down at the bar where they serve the best cocktails and the staff at the bar are happy to have a chat with you.
They change their menu a few times a year so each time we go we normally try something new and it is always great.
I have been to The Salt Room a couple of times and it doesn’t disappoint! The sharing seabass dish is perfect for two and the dessert selection is the perfect sweet finish to a meal. I loved the quirky cocktails too!
What sets the Salt Room apart (in my opinion) is the service. From the friendly bar staff (led by Matt) to the servers, I’ve always had a great experience here. They know the menu inside out and are always happy to offer advice on what to order without upselling at every opportunity. Love this place – and one day I’ll be able to try the terrace!
