The Salt Room

Excellent food and service, highly recommended

Fantastic fish cookery and great drinks are the only two good features. Aside from the fish the sauces and sides were weak and undercooked (gravy looked like a broth, roscoff onion completely inedible). Bright lighting and noise make it feel like a Nandos inside. Will not return.

We were made to feel as if we needed to leave in a hurry as they wanted the table back despite spending hundreds of pounds. It kind of ruined the experience for us. Also, the halibut was slightly overcooked but everything else food wise was stunning especially the scallops baked in the shell with paprika and seaweed, they were outrageous! Jalisco sour was a beautiful cocktail too.

Fantastic restaurant if you get a good seating. For best experience have a later dinner.

Food & service excellent but not cheap.
Our table was poorly located.

...just excellent! ...could not find any fault. Beautiful food in an amazing location with good friends - what more could one want!

ten minutes before my table was booked for i got a phone call to say
No table for me tonight
Apparently there was something wrong with the kitchen
absolute nonsense that was

We booked the salt room a couple of weeks before our planned trip to Brighton and then 30 mins before our booking, when it was too late to find another restaurant equally as lovely, I had a call to say there was trouble with the kitchen and they couldn’t take anyone for dinner. It was a huge disappointment for me and my partner.

Wonderful just as I had expected!!!!.exelent. Will be back.

Amazing service from Stacey. Great food. Would recommend hugely!

This place could be so good but it just isn’t quite there. The maitre d’ was quite offhand when we arrived and could barely look up from his laptop to greet us. Neither of the two English sparkling wines was available and the first two white Burgundies I asked for were out of stock too. The sole was not as described on the menu and had a strange sweet taste. All in all not what I hoped for on my husband’s birthday treat.

The Salt Room remains our favourite Brighton Restaurant - five stars all round, especially for the staff who are all excellent.
Thank you - we look forward to returning soon. R and K

Food tasty, waiter good. Slow delivery of food between courses. Not all the food or wine available at 8.30pm on a busy Saturday evening.

Took my partner for his birthday meal. I can’t fault The Salt Room at all! The food was amazing, and the service was also impeccable.
I have coeliac disease so I was concerned that they wouldn’t be able to offer huge amounts as it wasn’t mentioned on their website however I was comply wrong. The waitress explained that basically the whole of the menu can be adapted to gluten free.
The Taste of the Pier dessert was amazing and they accommodated my gluten free needs amazingly!
Will definitely be revisiting

Enjoyed an amazing dinner for two . Will definitely go back again

Very tasty seafood with a view of the sea and Brighton pier. Lots of great options, from raw to salt-crusted to wood-grilled shellfish and fish, with a good selection of steaks for meat lovers. Good selection of wines by the glass and a moderately priced wine list. Interesting desserts and capable service.

Great food, service and atmosphere. We always go when visiting Brighton 😎

The set menu at lunchtime is excellent value. The food is exquisite with incredible flavours & beautifully presented. The staff are very friendly & have a good knowledge of the choices on offer. The atmosphere is relaxed & the views across the sea (even on a stormy day!) are delightful. Thoroughly recommend!

A superb evening! Sea bass outstanding, beautiful wine and excellent service. My husband and I were celebrating his birthday and we were looked after in a friendly but professional way. Very expensive but it was a special occasion!

Great food, not much atmosphere. We had a pleasant evening but wouldn't rush back.

Excellent food and service.
A perfect restaurant for that special occasion

Went here with my wife for her birthday. I cannot fault the experience in any way. The lighting and ambiance were just right, service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. Even on a Monday evening there was a nice atmosphere whilst being possible to easily converse. It was also great value (reassuringly expensive?) but certainly worth every penny. I would without hesitation return to the Salt Room when next in Brighton.

Good service .food was served hot ..and fresh . catered for my gluten intollerance .the shared dessert was amazing and all GF It was a birthday celebration for my husband little touch with the chocolate truffle .really enjoyable evening Thank you

A first class meal in lovely surroundings. Its no wonder its won awards. Attentive service and they even gave us a small gift at the end as it was my birthday. Wow so nice!!

Good selection on the food menu and our choices were excellent. Wine list highlighting sea and volcanic wines was very helpful and steered us to a very good Cretan wine that we probably wouldn't have chosen otherwise.

Fantastic meal, great food, good wine and good service!

Celebrated hubbies 50th birthday! Great food - scallops and roast cod amazing! Service was on point, very attentive and smiley, didn’t mind catering to a group of nine. Great spot! Only thing that let it down was the weather, windy and blustery, Salt Room was great refuge away from it all! Highly recommend!

I have visited the Salt Room on a number of occasions and I have never been disappointed, the service and food are excellent , our waitress was very polite and pleasant, and very knowledgeable about the menu and food

We love this restaurant. From the moment you arrive it feels special - great staff, right level of attentiveness, superb food. We enjoyed the seafood platter - dropped one star only because none of our clams were open. Otherwise super.

We are a dining club that visit eating establishments throughout Brighton & Hove. This was our second visit to The Salt Room We were all agreed that the fish was of very good quality and cooked very well. The vegetables were cooked well but were not exiting and lacked finesse A salad served with an olive oil dressing was the "green" portion served with turbot (shared between two diners) and was not very good or, at least, the chef didn't exactly use his/her imagination. The service was indifferent and it was difficult to get our waiter's attention. We were tucked away in a corner so he couldn't see us and we couldn't see him. I expressed our collective views and disappointment to the waiter who did not react. This was a different experience to our first visit. We had cocktails served to us at the bar before we sat down and they were very good. The bill for six persons was just under £300 which included some, but not all, of the cocktails, four glasses of wine and a bottle of red wine. We expected better from The Salt Room.

Another excellent visit to the Salt Room taking advantage of BYO Mondays and the opportunity to drink amazing wines (Their wine list is also very good and does not have crazy mark ups )It was marvellous to see other wine fans giving staff the opportunity to taste what they had brought along.
Really enjoyable night and our Aussie visitors loved the Taste of The Sea dessert !

The quality of food was very good but the taste was very salty.

We had a wonderful evening at The Salt Room, celebrating my partner's birthday. The food was absolutely delicious but what made the evening exemplary was the outstanding service. It was appropriately formal and attentive but also the people were so friendly, warm and welcoming, we were very grateful. I hope the management are very proud of their staff.

Relaxed informal dining. Staff are lovely, food is excellent.

Food and service was incredible but the only poor service we received that 5 main dishes we could not order due to no stock which is odd for a restaurant with this cost. Will need to check they have food before we revisit or tell us before we book again.

Waitress was a little sarcastic, maybe trying to be funny but came across slightly rude.
No green beans available which meant with the steaks no possible veg. How hard is it to go to Tesco and buy some veg to offer?
Steak was ok but not great. Scallops starter great as was the Pier dessert and the wine.

Ate here during a visit to brighton for the weekend.
It was ok, nothing more.

Disappointingly limited food choice (vs somewhere like The Ivy in the Lanes).
Steak was overdone.
The “special” starter was not available after 7pm.
Service was good but the value overall was poor.

I’m a frequent diner at Salt Room . The only slight problem was the steak was tough and dry . Very unusual as it’s usually excellent . Other than that very good

Great meal let down by greedy charge of £3 for 2 small chocolates which should have been free with the coffee.
