Went there the other evening for dinner. Food very ordinary, small portions and overpriced. Wine lists limited and expensive. You can do much better further up the road at Honeysuckle More

We had lunch with some friends at Rocksalt and were surprised by how peaceful and relaxing the location is. The food was good, but we did get a bit of an odd vibe from our waitress, who was not particularly happy with requests for changes to any of the dishes due to dietary requirements. On a sunny day, you'd feel... More

I live locally and took my friends there for lunch. On arrival my friends said to the waitress that they had been traveling for several hours and were very hungry, and keen for lunch. We sat outside in the shade and needed to empty the debris from our glasses. The waitress took our orders and we waited for over 1... More

Went here today for the second time. Was not that impressed the first time earlier this year but today this place was amazing. Had a tasting plate of three courses and will definitively return based on this experience. Service was impressive, this is becoming one of Newcastle's better restaurants. More

My husband and I have been to this restaurant 3 times now and I honestly cannot believe the other ratings. The food has been perfect, and good sized portions, every time. The bread appetizer with the olive tapenade and garlic is exquisite, the scallops on prior menus were amazing, and this time around again we were not disappointed. The flavours... More
