“ Probably one of the best if not, the best seafood meals I ever had. Great service, quality of food and a lovely atmosphere with stunning outlook, even in a thunderstorm! Beats Rick Stein hands down for quality and price! ”
“ We came in today, from the off the service was 1st class! We had our grand daughter (4 months old) with us which we hadn't advised about when we booked the reservation, the staff were very understanding and accommodating we were repositioned within the restaurant to allow space for her pushchair to be beside our table without causing an obstruction to other customers...the food was excellent and views over the harbour outstanding! If you are thinking of visiting please don't hesitate...its not the cheapest but still very competitive...we will definitely return! ”
“ Both the food and the customer service at Rocksalt Restaurant was outstanding. I would highly recommend it, especially for a special occasion. I mentioned it was my wife's birthday and could the staff take a photo, to which they happily obliged. Next thing we knew the staff brought out a sorbet with Happy Birthday written in chocolate. That was a welcome surprise. ”
“ We had a terrific dinner at Rocksalt – a truly memorable dining experience in every way. The fresh seafood was outstanding. We ordered the seafood platter, a beautifully cooked sharing Turbot, and a 1kg T-bone steak. Every dish was full of flavour, expertly prepared, and absolutely delicious. There was a slight issue with the steak’s temperature, but the manager, Leon, handled it swiftly and professionally. His attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction really stood out. Leon and the entire team offered exceptional service throughout the evening – warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommend Rocksalt if you're looking for top-quality seafood, perfectly executed mains, and first-class service in a stylish setting. We’ll definitely be returning! ”
“ It's a fantastic place situated on the harbour. The food was tasty and colourful. The staff was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. It's a five out of five from us. Thank you for my birthday ice cream ”
“ Fantastic food, stunning view. Really cosy spot for Dinner. With a group of 7 and it was the perfect amount of space! Ambience amazing and service was super friendly and lovely! The Seafood sharing platter was truly amazing and worth every penny! ”
“ It's a high end restaurant with great food, wine and service. The thing that made our evening even more special is how well they handled my partner's food allergies. (They're quite serious and if not taken seriously can ruin a whole week). The team were courteous, informed and really cared. If you've never been in this position you won't know what a difference this makes. If you have...well, you'll know. ”
“ One of the best meals I've ever had!!! They serve only the freshest local fish. Would recommend the massive meaty prawns. The service was top notch and the views were lovely too! Very classy vibes ”
