Salty's Bar & Grill - Port Macquarie

We made a reservation but our table was not ready. The waitress appeared to be inexperienced and lacked knowledge. The food was decent, but most of the seafood was deep-fried. There was a lack of understanding regarding wine, bread, and the menu. Despite this, I was content with my meal and found the prices to be reasonable.

Cute restaurant set on the river, however it is very small and if full would be over crowded and noisy. The food was nice but so very expensive. Outrageous prices for lunches particularly, service was good, however we won't go back because of the prices.

I had a difficult time deciding on what to order from the menu at this restaurant. My wife asked me what I wanted, and I replied with "All of the above." The options all seemed fantastic. I ended up ordering the squid as my entree and the Santorini prawns as my main dish. My mother chose the snapper, while my wife went with garlic prawns for her entree and linguini for her main course. All of our dishes were delicious, with flavors that truly captured the essence of the Mediterranean, enhanced by the abundant use of fresh garlic. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes, making the meal a great value for the quality we received. Additionally, the beautiful river views added to the dining experience on that sunny Sunday, with yachts passing by. I am already looking forward to dining at this restaurant again in the future.

A wonderful spot to enjoy and celebrate a family birthday overlooking the Hastings river. Wonderful food and great service. Everone enjoyed the occasion. This is a hidden jewel and a must to visit to enjoy a great lunch or dinner.

The restaurant has a beautiful waterfront location with well-spaced tables that allow for private conversations. The waitstaff are friendly, attentive, and accommodating. We ordered the seafood plate and the fish of the day, which was salmon, and both dishes came with generous portions of chips and a simple salad. The meals were delicious and reasonably priced. Salty's may not be a fine dining establishment, but it is perfect for those seeking tasty and straightforward cooking.
