Saltbar Beach Bar & Bistro reviews
5 Star Review by Kelly
Staying at the mantra this was our go to for lunch and dinner. Dog friendly outside. Friday night the 16th Dec the guy on guitar was fantastic and we didnt leave until 10pm. The guy on Saturday night was playing elevator music which made us leave early. Staff are great. Meals are great and you can order from your table.
4 Star Review by Crystal Murray
Overall it was good, we didnt try food, although looked pretty good from what we could see. The atmosphere is also good. The rating is based on drinks which I think could be improved a bit. The lychee cocktail tasted great it was in a small glass though, I think over ice in a normal size glass would be better. The ink gin spritz was not so great, it just tasted like ink gin soda water with some fruit. It looked great though. Cocktails were $20 each.

Safe Covid and vaccination check in. Staff very friendly and I was greeted on entry. Had a beer in the bar then headed out to the balcony to get some lunch. Ice cold beer and food was very good went with the Wagyu burger and the Vege burger. Very fresh and tasty. Great for the whole family to have a bite to eat of just to have a beer.

4 Star Review by Grant Lee
Had a catch-up with friends. On Monday night they had music trivia. This was fun, all the table played. The meal was good, wifes fish was ok, not great as she said. My dinner was a vegetarian dish and it was very tasty. Really enjoyed it. The ordering is down via a QR code from the table. More and more restaurants are doing this now. Overall the night was fun, meal was good and we all had a great night.
3 Star Review by Assad Barakat
For Mantra Resort facity the food was similar to a bowls or sports club and the service was non existent we had to hunt down a server on two occasions to get water and only 1 bottle for 8 people. Then again we had to ask for our table to be cleared for desert, people around us left uncleared tables service at the local pubs better.
2 Star Review by Jarrod Fozzard
No Carlton beers on tap, and you're pushed to order from a QR based app system that charges you for their convenience, as well as stores your personal information. If you're going to adopt this system, then perhaps wave the 0.9% "Service Fee" for your patrons.
5 Star Review by luke fitzgerald
Had to edit the already 5 star review after just having a midweek lunch at my local salt bar, had the devils chicken burger on recommendation from Jesse and its a 10/10, do yourself a favour and make the trip just for that burger best Ive had In dont know how long. Ice cold beer by shaz just topped it off as usual.
5 Star Review by Bodhi Hardy
Ordered a seafood tower. Presentation was beautiful. The bugs & prawns were 10/10, highly recommended. Good atmosphere and sitting on the deck was great. The only improvement was chips could have been more crunchy but all in all, I was impressed
1 Star Review by Maria Zaknich
We waited over an hour for our meal. I ordered a steak, it was well cooked but it looked like they scraped leftover chips and salad from another plate and put it on my plate. The chicken schnitzel was rubbery and the eggplant schnitzel was tough. It was terrible.
