Food was extremely good. The fries surprised us given that it was merely a side but was extremely well done. Seafood was fresh. Other dishes which were not seafood were also cooked very well by balancing the flavours and the elements of each minor component. Service was great and with a little bit more effort in each minor details, the restaurant is in a good direction.

We just got back after a fabulous supper at The Salt Room!
Having gone to its sister restaurant Burnt Orange last night, our hopes were very high and we didn't leave disappointed. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the food was so scrumptious (particularly the oysters, ribeye and the Choux bun pudding!). I'd like to give a particular shout-out to our waiter, Gabor, who made our evening so special!
He is a natural, and every one of his recommendations was spot on. He really cared about our choices and advised us what would be the best food and wine to get to give us the best possible experience

We came on a Sunday 19th of December for my our first anniversary and it was the first time we came to your restaurant. We had the scallops and octopus and pork belly for starter followed by a surfboard for 1 and halibut. The food was absolutely stunning ! We had macaron for pudding with a glass of Prosecco and we particularly appreciated the chocolate writing wishing us a happy anniversary. Thank you to all the team for making our day special, we will be back.
