Everything was absolutely brilliant. Great service, wonderful wine selection and delicious food. Very reasonable prices for what you get.

Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely be going back myself.

We have been to salt 3-4 times. My husband and I love this restaurant as it never fails to deliver. The meals are excellent as is the service. It was nice to see some changes to the menu (we hadn’t been for around 6 months). My husband says the seafood chowder at Salt is as good as it gets, personally I don’t order any starter as the meals are sufficient. I would like to try their breakfasts one day soon.

My girlfriend and I ate here on a busy and cold friday night. Our waitress was very friendly. I went for the Fillet Steak whilst my gf had the lamb rump. The steak was delicious – perfectly cooked, with a great potato dish on the side. My gf’s lamb was decent, but lacked a little oomph, though she enjoyed it. Serving size was good but could have been a little bigger for the price. We shared a creme brulee for dessert, which tasted good too, though we’ve probably had better before. However, the niggles are very small and I would reccomend this restaurant – good food, great service, nice atmosphere (on the noisy side, but friendly!).

This is our second review of salt,:-) We dined on Sunday morning and we loved it,Although it was clearly busy we were informed there maybe a wait, this was nice to know as we were in no rush this wasn’t going to be an issue, our meals actually arrived really fast and were delicious!, I had the beef burger which was juicy and tasty , we shared a garlic bread which was also good and my husband had eggs Benedict, the eggs were nice and soft and he said that the hollandaise was great, all in all another great dining experience, we always recommend salt to all our friends and will continue doing so the coffee is also fantastic, as was the dark haired girl that served us,
keep it up salt!

Today we dined at Salt and were not impressed. It took a whole hour from the time we ordered our food till we got it. We were on a deadline as had to be somewhere else at a certain time and we ordered immediately and told the waitress about our rush. She was friendly although a bit dizy and still our food was an hour late. When questioned where it was she said it was just coming out right then, which took another 5 minutes. 3 of us had to actually wrap our burgers in serviettes and go. And although we asked for take away bags/containers, whatever they might have had, the waitress said she would go and get them and never returned! A very disappointing experience. And my burger was horrible to top things off.

Salt has a nice atmosphere with wood tables and panelling and a fireplace. To start with we had the seafood chowder which was good although it needed a lot of salt, which is ironic really. For mains I had the fish special which was fillets of a sole which was delicious. Unfortunately the pasta dishes were not as good. The tiger prawn linguine was very watery and the sauce needed to be reduced down a lot more, and the prawns weren’t very good quality at all. In fact the dish tasted a lot better with the prawns picked out. The pasta special had a sharp tomato taste a bit like a supermarkrt sauce and wasn’t nice to eat. The desserts were very good. This would have been a pretty good meal if not let down so badly by the pasta dishes.

I am fortunate enough to live locally and absolutely love Salt. The service is always friendly and environment comfortable and warm. The food is never disappointing but my weekend ritual is always a coffee and muffin after a walk along the beach – absolute heaven! Keep it up guys :)

The risotto was bland and flavourless, a huge disappointment. However, the decor and staff were both great and I will go back and try something else.

I had a meal here with two friends last week and the food was divine. I’ve also had brunch here a few weeks earlier and again, fabulous food, good serving sizes, reasonably priced and great service. I adored the chicken curry and was just gutted I had no room for desert because it all looked good.

We just wanted to take the time to not only comment on the great food that we had at salt, which was absolutely divine, but also on the service which is the best we have ever received. This young man, who we had our doubts about judging the state of his hair, was actually the friendliest and best waiter we have been served by. His enthusiasm and friendliness was above standard, his attention to detail and making sure we were completely happy was second to none. He managed to sell us a bottle of wine instead of a glass, he sold us desserts when we couldn’t finish our main meals, all because of his great attitude. I wish that all waiters and waitresses were of this caliber. Since this visit we refuse to dine anywhere else. Well done and thank you young man…and we apologise for ever judging you on your “loud” haircut!!!

This is a great spot to eat in Dunedin we are from out of town and have tried many eateries in Dunedin on our frequent visits and have been regulars since finding salt the staff are great and the food is always yum,we think its quite well priced and the menu has good variety we particularly love the prawn linguine, my husband loves the sticky date pudding the chef was even so kind to give me the recipe on our last visit “not many places would do that ” 5 stars from us keep it up

Good food, reasonably priced. Nice setting but evening let down by poor service. Our meal arrived in good time, after we finished we waited for coffee but nobody came near us again. Nothing cleared off the table. After half an hour we paid up and went elsewhere.

Great food and great service, very professional and didnt have to ask for anything. my partner thought the meals were a bit on the smaller side for what we were paying for but that didnt bother me as much

Very pleasing semi formal setting we enjoyed a lunch meal of “The fish of the day”. The grilled sole fillet served with mash was cooked to perfection and well presented,the service was prompt and efficient. signed M & J.

Great eating spot. Excellent food and service. One of my fav places to eat in Dunedin. A little pricey but all and all you pay for what you get.
