Really crispy, perfectly cooked and the sauces were amazing. I can't wait to go back and try the other flavours plus the other menu items. The hot box also was a winner, I got the tastiest spring roll and the rest of the items looked so fresh. I'm not a huge sushi fan but they had a lot of variety. The staff are lovely and very accommodating.

What a lovely place to sit and enjoy a meal or coffee. Stunning views over the water, everywhere…read moreyou look. I've had breakfast and coffee and cake here and both were very good. Breakfast is served until 11, we got here just a few minutes before 11 and they didn't mind making us breakfast still. I had the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup and they were light and fluffy and a huge serving. Other had eggs on toast with hash browns and said it was really nice. The cakes were also very delicious. I loved my sticky date pudding with butterscotch sauce. Others had the brownie (yummy) and carrot cake (very good). All generous proportions. Nice friendly staff as well and all reasonably priced. This restaurant adjoins the reefworld aquarium and I believe you can get a deal for all day entry to aquarium and a meal from Waterfront. The inside of the restaurant looks like an amazing space to have a wedding/ function.

The staff were friendly and the prices were reasonable. If you go on the weekend, you need to make a booking - we saw diners without bookings being turned away.

Thought we'd try this restaurant out.. My family & I bought 3 dishes from the (take away) menu…read more Gamberi, Crab Fettuccine & Gorgonzola Gnocchi. To say we were all disappointed is an understatement! They were all completely flavourless! *The gnocchi - was claggy and tasted like a balls of uncooked flour it wasn't eatable at all. We just threw a t in the bin! *The Gamberi- had no flavour and the king prawns tasted like frozen imports (menu states they're local fresh) * Crab Fettuccine- actually wasn't terrible.. after I'd added a heap of salt and pepper. There was copious amounts of crab meat (and cartilage) throughout the dish. At $25 per dish, I'd recommend spending you're money elsewhere. I haven't tried their pizzas. Although I don't think we will go back. There are plenty of great Italian pizza restaurants in the bay!

Absolutely terrible. Only a couple tables taken when we walked in with out two children. They took…read moreour order and bought our drinks/starters.... Then nothing!!! Waiting so long our youngest child fell asleep, whilst the other ended up asking when dinner was coming. 25mins went by - asked waiter how long who replied 'l'm new here I don't know' and walked away! We made the call to pay for what we'd had and leave. Their only excuse was 'they had been too busy with take-away'! Never again will we return. The Oriental Palace next door full to capacity and still delivered a great service. Go there instead

Good, but with some room for improvement…read more The rare beef salad was tasty, and the chicken roulade excellent. The duck my wife ordered was definitely a bit overcooked and dry. The cheesecake dessert was good, but not spectacular. Ignoring price, Salt put together a pretty good meal. Factoring in the price of admission, however, I expected a bit more than what I got. Coast is just a short distance away and may be a better option; they offer a similar style of cuisine for around the same price, but with more impressive results. Note that dinner is only available at the Salt Cafe on Friday and Saturday nights.

Hervey Bay doesn't have a lot of competition in this department though. If say 3 1/2 stars for the food. We had the big breaky and eggs Benedict with bacon. You get a mountain of bacon with both meals and we left full. Iced coffee was delicious.

A bit of a mixed bag, but still one of the better tapas places I've been to in Australia. The…read moredishes here were somewhat hit-and-miss. Some of them, such as the duck crepes with hoisin sauce, seemed carefully composed and thoughtfully presented. Others, however, seemed hastily thrown together without much consideration given to presentation or flavor. Still, it wasn't a bad experience, and they've got some decent dishes on the menu. Portion sizes are reasonable, and each dish costs around $8 to $9. At 2-3 dishes per person, you'll get a filling meal for around $20 each. Not a bad option for a quick lunch.

Finally got to have lunch here and it was well worth it. The service was prompt and friendly and…read moreprices reasonable. Each tapas plate is $9 or 3 for $24 so we shared 3each. We had spicy fried pork ribs, French herbed lamb chops, coconut prawns, blue cheese mushrooms, soft shell crab and the most amazing duck and cucumber crepes. We also had the loveliest fresh squeezed juices. I had watermelon, pineapple, ginger and mint which was beyond yummy and my sister had apple, celery and ginger and it was so refreshing. We probably should have stopped there but decided on dessert. I had gluten free chocolate brownie that just melted in my mouth and sister had lemon meringue pie. Suffice to say we were completely full when we walked out the doors. Would recommend this tapas bar to groups of friends wanting good food and atmosphere, they also have a good cocktail and wine selection.
