Saltwater Bar & Bistro — Restaurant in New South Wales

Quite expensive for pub food, about $100 for an entree and 2 mains, but it was lovely food. Not the best service there though, had a young girl come to our table after we finished the entree wanting to take our plates. We said no as want to use the left over sauces for our mains. She seemed quite annoyed and was rude and grabbed our table number away from us. We still had more food coming, we noticed staff with 2 meals wondering around and couldn’t find the table. We realised it’s ours as she took our number. These serves were apologetic for the other server taking our number and apologised if the food was cold. It wasn’t cold but it wasn’t hot as it should be. The ABC parmi $35, it was yummy. Lamb Moroccan salad was quite lovely but it’s advertised as a serving of Greek sauce but it’s just a teaspoon on the top of one slice of lamb so it didn’t really feed the dish. The lamb was nice but it was cold. Young man served me for desserts and I got 2, the mixed berry crumble which was pretty below average. And the ice cream pie which was quite nice, but rich. Good service from him, he checked in with us at our table when we ate the desserts. The buffalo wings were $20 and was the highlight of the bar, very delicious, great spice and lovely sauce on the side. One of the other bar tenders / waitresses used the toilet at the same time as me and she left and didn’t wash her hands, went straight back behind the bar to make peoples drinks. We left after that as that’s very...

It was thick pieces cut that were seared. Very very dry. Way too much rocket & a tiny round piece or taco shell on the bottom. I normally love ceviche, but I left 3/4 of it which is not like me at all. It was def not a ceviche; as ceviche is normally very thinly sliced or diced fish cured in lemon or lime juice etc. Def not nice or worth the money. Really disappointed in that dish. I had the calamari for main. It was like store bought calamari just fried, had too much oil on it. The other meals were ok. Service was good, although would rather table...

We had dinner here over the weekend with my husband and son, and it was a great experience. The setting was beautiful—plenty of greenery and birdlife to enjoy. My son especially loved chatting with a friendly kookaburra that seemed to be a local regular!

The food was tasty and great value—not Michelin-starred, but definitely enjoyable. What really stood out, though, was the fantastic service. The bar staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome, even bringing over activity packs for my son (just be sure to ask for them!).

The pub had a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the live music added a lovely touch to the evening. I’d definitely return next time I’m...
