to get our order of fruit toast! By which time we had finished our coffee which had been so badly served. There was so much coffee in the plate the cup was served on you had to be careful not to drip. Best head to Jamison!

Im not a large seafood eater, however my partners favourite food is seafood, so I thought 'lets try it!' and im glad we did. There was an amazing selection of food on the buffet, salads, pasta, and an abundance of seafood. Although I thought the crab all looked quite small, my partner said that it was full of flavour (as... More

Delicious food, great service, excellent wine list, perfect coffee.. what more could you want? Every time I eat at Rocksalt I am impressed. I'm so glad they're now open for breakfast. A rare gem on the North side.

Ate with a group on Saturday night. 2 hrs after sitting down the mains appeared. By that time we had lost interest in the anticipated meal and just wanted to weat. Staff were not monitoring the progress of our table and were quite disjointed. The boss spent a long time sitting with his friends and ignoring what was (not) happening... More

We are regulars for breakfast at Rocksalt and enjoy it everytime. My favourite is the Omelet with goats feta, tomatoes and red onion (without the Spec) and my husband really likes their lamb sausages or the big breakfast. The bread they use for toast is really tasty. Coffee is good - which is less common than you'd think given the... More

Rocksalt is in a very ordinary suburban shopping centre with no views or interesting architecture. However the young staff and the great staff make up for this. On a hot summer's night, the staff were attentive without being intrusive and the food was interesting and delicious. The inside was full when we arrived so we chose to eat outside, but... More

Rocksalt has certainly gone downhill. Luncheon menu very disappointing and below average nothing like its former glory. It is unfortunate that new owners have not changed the name of this Restaurant to reflect the downgrading in service and style of food. More problematic is the restaurant is full of flies - when given feedback the owners say nothing they can... More

First problem: they ran out of the fish & chips (only 30 serves available apparently and these were all ordered by a large group booking opposite us). The chef apologised, saying they could not get any more fish! Second problem: My salad arrived with chicken on it, when I did not order chicken. I ate it anyway but it was... More
