Have been to Rocksalt a few times recently - its a handy location to my home, close enough to be just a short drive from the Belconnen Town Centre, and far enough from the Town Centre to offer a pleasant alternative for the Belconnen business crowd. The staff are always friendly, and don't mind at all if you are having... More

We were first to arrive from our group and we were seated and left. No offer of water or pre dinner drinks. Entree of prawns was salty and huge. Entree of scallops was cold. Lamb over cooked and cold as well. Pork main was enormous (and I like a big meal) and no one at our table of 6 finished... More

We have been here many times and always find the meals to be very consistent and delicious. The service is always great and the staff are friendly. I have only ever had one disappointing meal here but have been impressed more times than disappointed and will continue to come back. If your looking for a good meal this is definitely... More

We've had both dinner and several Sunday brunches there and it's a rare find. Canberra unfortunately has a variety of restaurants where the food is average but the prices are high and the place noisy, as the management play loud music to suit themselves. We could hear ourselves talk and everyone has enjoyed their food. The choices (like prawns, smoked... More

Had dinner for four, two courses and a glass of wine. worked out around $55 each. Service was friendly and prompt, decor is nice, menu looked interesting but food is very average, which pretty much let the rest of the experience down.

I had my birthday dinner here based on a lunch I had at Rock Salt three years ago. I think this restaurant must have changed hands since then. Originally I had rabbit with a local Pinot Grigio as suggested by the menu. Now the menu is fairly standard modern cuisine and the wine list is not too bad. I chose... More

Top marks to the service staff. The restaurant was very crowded,and, the staff were excellent. The feel of the restaurant and the decor, is very good. However,... More

Both my wife and I ordered 2 entrees each not wanting big heavy main meals. Also, there was nothing on the menu that inspired us for mains.Well the entrees were anything but light and fresh. The calamari was over seasoned, heavy and sitting on a bed of badly wiltered salad that was drenched in a vinegar dressing. Not the greatest... More

shared brunch with old friends recently, we all arrived at different times but the staff were more than helpful,bringing extra chairs replenishing the cold water and taking orders with great patience. The coffee, cakes and brunch/lunch was lovely. We were served promptly and staff were very friendly.Excellent.

We have breakfasted, lunched and dined at this restaurant and the experience has been universally good. The menus offers many choices and the quality of those tried has been very good. Our most recent venture there was for a Melbourne Cup luncheon and my partner was particularly impressed with the entree of oysters, while my fillet mignon was superb. The... More
