Christmas Day lunch was excellent from the moment we walked in until we left - our waitress was a delight and couldn’t do enough
The food was glorious and we couldn’t have wished for better
Excellent food as always, good service too. A slight delay getting going on the food but it being Christmas Day hardly a surprise. Never felt rushed, food top notch, wine excellent too.
Excellent food and service, as always, although little surprised the ambience was not more festive considering it was Christmas Eve
This was the 5th time I had eaten at The Salt Room and I’ve never had a meal that was less than excellent. We both had the seared scallops as a starter and if I have a slight criticism it is that we both agreed that the purée underneath was very salty - almost to the point of masking the delicate flovour of the scallops themselves. Apart from that, the monkfish, hake and the deserts were perfect. Thank you Salt Room. After this weird year it was such a joy to be out, eating fine food perfectly served by our waiter.
Lovely evening if great food and wine with just the right high energy ambiance we needed on Xmas eve
Very nice pre lockdown treat.
Would definitely go back.
Food delicious as always, staff were wonderful - could not ask for a better anniversary treat.
Outstanding pre tier 4 lockdown and Christmas dinner
Delicious food. Our unusual mix of needs was well catered for and service was excellent.
Everything was great really enjoyed the food and service it's a little pricey but you don't just pay for the food it's the top service also. I would definitely go back there again would love to go on xmas day I bet would be class.
Lovely food, went for a birthday dinner and was not disappointed, every course was delicious!
It was a lovely meal , with so much flavour , beautifully cooked
Great venue . Food very disappointing .
Fabulous - great food great service , always good.
Really great meal and good atmosphere. Our french waiter was really helpful with the wine choice.
Staff did not adhere to social distancing rules. I asked for a candle to be put in my partners dessert for his birthday and they did nothing. Very packed and staff added tables beside us after we were seated. Didn’t feel safe, food was excellent tho.
lovely restaurant although due to covid a limited menu which was disappointing - very expensive but would not be put off from returning - only a 2 hour slot which could be a problem if you were eating with a larger group and you would always be conscious of the time instead of enjoying your evening. The starter sauce was cold but other than that the meal we had was lovely.
It was our first afternoom out after having our baby, and we certainly chose the best place to eat. We loved it, and the waiter was good fun.
Considering we’re in Tier 2 the restaurant did well. Eggnog cocktails were spot on.
Lovely friendly staff, great food, drink and portions sizes and a lovely decorated restaurant for Christmas! We really enjoyed sitting outside on the terrace enjoying the winter sunshine.
We had a lovely meal, the food was of a high standard and the were staff very friendly and recommended a vegetarian alternative to one of the starters.
It felt very safe within the venue and we would recommend to others.
Fantastic experience, food was delicious, service was great, thoroughly enjoyed it, and will definitely be back.
Great food, excellent service as always
Excellent food. A nice Asian touch to well prepared and cooked seafood.
Excellent food, good presentation and nice ambience.
First class in all aspects. My family and I love eating at The Salt Rooms.
Delicious fish, outstanding quality! My husband is a seafood lover and we usually only find this quality of fish and oysters in France. Highly recommended. The service was attentive but not overbearing and there was a nice ambience. Great position for a stroll along the promenade before/after the meal.
One of my favourite restaurants. Only 1 vegetarian option for mains but always very delicious.
The ribeye was over cooked + lemon sole got too much bone + the sauce come with monk fish taste like cheap Chinese chili sauce.
No one served us for 5 mins when we arrived
Good starter. Main course of lemon sole was cold, like it had been reheated and was bland.
COVID secure great
Service great
Food great
Drink great although would have like a beer on tap
We had a voucher for the sharing toast the vegetables were incredible as was the cauliflower cheese
Accommodated my wife needing the steak cooked well due to being pregnant and were given complimentary truffles and congrats to us.
An amazing evening. Great food, highly recommend the Brill to share and the eclair to finish.
Great atmosphere and ambience, right on the sea front. Starters, cocktails and dessert were delicious and the service was excellent.
Really lovely staff. Incredible food, especially the meat - a little heavy on the seaweed seasoning on the sides however that may be personal preference.
A really fabulous and festive meal, I’ll definitely be returning.
A nice lunch, but not a great lunch. Food somewhat under seasoned and the celery which came with my main dish has not been stripped of the stringy part. Service as great as ever but food needs a little more attention to detail.
arrived at 6 but as the evening wore on the resturant filled up and was quiet busy. Service, food and ambience top quality.
We and our guests loved the usual great food, service and ambience at the Salt Room, but now seated on their outside terrace allowing legal socially distancing dining for separate households. Salt Room's efforts to temper the cold with heaters, keep the rain off and provide festive cheer, whilst maintaining a genuine outside experience is very much appreciated.
Very good food, different flavours. Efficient service
25th anniversary, we had the most amazing food and were really looked after, thankyou
Not cheap but excellent lunchtime venue with great food.
