Reviews of Salinity Restaurant & Bar

J.

Right from the start we were welcomed by the lovely Cleo. She made us feel very welcome! Such a beautiful meal. Seafood is a specialty but there are plenty of other choices on the menu. The view is stunning! Love this place and will definitely be back!

S.

Great service , made a last minute booking and was put at a really nice table ! The food was phenomenal (hands down some of the best seafood ive had) Staff also had good knowledge of the menu . Will definitely be back!

J.

Beautiful location and wonderful food with very friendly service. Highly recommend the king prawn and squid tapas, photographed below with the pork belly bao buns.

T.

We were a family party of 9..and 6 of us had the Pork Belly 🤣 It was amazing! Lots of juicy ,succulent meat and crispy skin.The sauce went perfectly! The hostesses were attentive and helpful with our wine selections We saw the Fish and Chip servings on the way out, so we will definitely come back for them next time 👍

G.

10/10! Me and my partner came here last night for a couple drinks and snacks. Food was perfect, drinks were even better and the staff were excellent with their service and very accomodating! Experience was overall amazing. We will definitely be back ;)

R.

Flavors where nice size of mussles wer really small more like a pipi but tasted good scallops also tiny

F.

Highly recommended. For brunch, “The Classic” and “Full “Breakfast” were amazing! Sadly, we came their early morning, way before they could serve their tapas and mains. We asked if they could serve the Ceviche (in the tapas menu) before serving time, thankfully they said YES! Everything was amazing.

t.

Staff were super friendly making it a great relaxing experience. Sitting by the marina soaking in the sun. Food was good.

C.

Lovely place to go for a meal. We went for lunch for our wedding anniversary. Right on the water with an amazing view. Can't remember ever having such beautiful fresh battered oysters. All the food we ordered was amazing. Will be back over from Hamilton in a week or two to enjoy again. Thanks 👌

S.

Great food and service as always plus the added bonus of a lovely view

J.

I really loved the food drinks and service Go and enjoy for yourself

B.

Such an awesome spot to chill! We stayed for a very long lunch that turned into dinner (5hrs) and the staff was super lovely esp Katrina. Food and drinks are faultless! So much so that we went back for breakfast the next morning! Sunsets, stingrays and boats right there as we sat and chatted. Will go back when I'm here next :)

G.

We were a party of four on Saturday evening looking out over the marina watching the sunset while having drinks and sharing beautiful tapas. The Wild Rice salad was exceptional, duck potatoes moreish, and the deserts looked and tasted spectacular. The service was discrete and obliging. In all, a superb evening.

J.

Went for Sunday brunch. Food was great. Good portion. Good service. Coffee and tea order taken straight away although took a while to take our food order.

R.

Thanks for the fabulous brunch and the surprise of our own room to the side. Really appreciate the great service Katrina you made us so welcomed and the food was delicious 😋 see you again soon Ex Air Nz crew 😇 and friends x

J.

Had dinner the other night...food was stunning. Best chef in Tauranga. Great service by friendly team. Would highly recommend. Can't wait to go back.

N.

First time, we did a walk in. So it was busy but not packed however I do recommend making a booking if more than two. The food was excellent and was well presented. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Parking is good but I can see if the fishing is good you might find you will be parking down the way. All in all great place. Enjoy.

o.

Great service, tasty food, and beautiful location. Have been for breakfast and dinner, but nice to just enjoy a cold drink on a good day as well.

D.

One of the few restaurants in area that's right on the water 💧 sit outside or in during summer and quite a few tables with views. Situated at the Tauranga Bridge Marina, the views are the boats, the harbour and Sulphur point container wharf, so busy busy. We've dined here a number of times at different times of day and night and the service has always been excellent. Tapas menu as well as mains and desserts. Brunch menu as well. A good selection of gluten free dishes from all menus. Today, we shared a tapa beetroot with smoked duck and citrus infused feta. 10/10. Then the crunchy pork belly, peach, yummy sauce with vegetables. Brett had salmon on lemon infused risotto. Both beautifully cooked. Dessert menu looked delicious but we couldn't do it justice. We will be back 🍾

S.

Really enjoyed our meal. Good selection on the menu. Good service and the meal was great. I am allergic to Capsicum and missed that it was in my meal when ordering it was so good they did a new meal straight away with no hesitation. Thanks Salinity, we will be back

M.

Fantastic place, under new owners! Staff is amazing, great service, great food! You won't be disappointed! Also, amazing views if you sitting outside!

M.

My husband and I had lunch here and were very impressed. Gorgeous view of the marina. The service was exceptional and the food devine. The serving sizes were perfect and prices very reasonable. We will definitely be returning! Highly recommend.

A.

Had a really nice brunch here. Good range of food. Great views out across the marina.

L.

Nice view but I don’t like the kitchen

S.

Great place to go due to the location but for the quality of the place the kitchen is lacking and letting the place down, staff are helpful but the chef needs an upgrade.

M.

We went to dinner here 31/7/21 and it was one of those culinary experiences that will stick in my mind for a long time. The serivce was outstanding and the food was spectacular. One or twice in my 50 odd years I have had one of those meals in a restaurant where the food is just 'perfection' and you never want it to end. Well tonight was one of those rare moments. I can't recommend it highly enough and my 2 companions had the same experience. Thanks to an amazing team for a couple of hours of pure delight

A.

They were slightly under the pump but still as good as always..great food and friendly staff! Will be back soon to try more on the menu

R.

Sunday fish and chips 2 for one is great. Espresso martini tops but had to ask for a straw lol . 1st world problem. Great service. 👍

S.

Beautiful food, friendly attentive staff not to mention the view AMAZING.

S.

The linguine was a knockout, fantastic! Beautifully presented food even if the chicken was a little dry

A.

Great marina setting, interesting menu both tapas and mains, great food well presented

P.

Excellent food, very good service. Nice view of habour

P.

Came here as a group of 13. Lovely food, with great service, booked in on line which was quick and efficient. First round of drinks were at happy hour discount. A very enjoyable experience and highly recommended.

D.

Slow service. Very nice place though. And food and coffee were yum..

G.

Had a company evening farewell meal together and was very pleasantly surprise. The meals had were outstanding and the hapuka on risotto I had was exceptional. Like the sorbet was delicious. Very enjoyable evening had by all. Will return.

D.

We had the most delicious meal, with wonderful service. Look forward to going back.

T.

Awesome food, atmosphere and staff. Would thoroughly recommend

A.

One of the best brunch locations in the bay . Smack bang on the marina . Amazing views , sea breeze and menu is very high standard and big servings. Also had dinner ther this week. Very good service, clean and large tapas menu. I had the best pork belly , could of had seconds. Will be back. Recommended . A must visit..there were groups and couples so a good choice.

A.

This restaurant is situated on the harbour overlooking the moored yachts, We sat outside on the veranda Looking out to the west and the sun setting. A magical evening, birds flying over the water, which was reflecting the colours of the sky. The staff were very efficient and friendly and you did not have to wait long for your order. The food selection ranged from vegetarian to gluten free to full on meet eaters menu. The food was truely delicious and so beautifully done, it did not matter what you chose, you could not go wrong. Portions were easily manageable, yet filling so no going hungry. I whole heartedly recommend this place for anyone who appreciates or wants to eat really good food.

l.

Me and my partner had dinner here last night 7-9-2020 and it was awesome. We were served right away, the food was delicious and the waitress was very polite and bubbly which made us feel very comfortable. The view of the lights over the water was beautiful and the price was very reasonable. Will definitely be coming back.

A.

My husband and I just had an amazing brunch! Food was on point, service was impeccable, I definitely will be coming back for dinner!

N.

Great service. Great food, and a view to enjoy.

S.

It is amazing place with great food and lovely staff

T.

Had a great meal here, can highly recommend the Eye Fillet and the Pork Belly. Not normally a sticky date pudding person but choose to have one as Thursday’s are free dessert - it was fantastic. Wife had a Affogato (decafe) and loved that too. Highly recommend and it’s a nice location often passed by.

L.

Delicious food and great service from friendly staff. As a added bonus a complementary dessert was offered the night of our visit. I would have given a five star rating but for the the large screen tv causing a bit of noise by the patrons in the vicinity. Also the senior staff member who could not be bothered sorting the account out for our group.

D.

Delicious food, stunning location, my favourite place.

M.

Fantastic service, such friendly and attentive waitresses. Yummy big breakfast and my friend had eggs Benedict. Really great coffee, loved the background music of soft house music. Beautiful views and lovely decor.

K.

The young gentleman who is front of house is amazing. Beautiful food & place!

R.

Enjoyable lunch, great food and service, and the view is pretty good

A.

Great food in Tauranga.. awesome view... a great night out and awesome place to watch the sunset..

B.

Good vibe. Lovely view from deck. Great service and very nice food. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Looking forward to a brunch or lunch someday

A.

Had a lovely dinner with my husband. The ambient is spacious but cosy, the views of the Bridge Marina from the dining area and deck are fantastic! I cannot foult the food, every thing we order was tasty and arrived quickly. Service is good, staff friendly and professional. We will visit again soon

A.

What an awesome restaurant 👌 amazing menu to choose from, meals lovely, we will definitely go back many times. Sitting outside, looking at the boats in the marina, all what's happening is also a great plus.

J.

Great food service and lovely spot

I.

High standard of both service and food with stunning views

J.

Beautiful setting great food. Maybe need to get some better sun shade as after 5pm its your turn to get cooked. But highly recommend

B.

Recently had a group meal from work, booked online, great response back, meals were good sizes and well presented. We had booked the private room and had a great time service was regular and polite, staff new the menu well which was outstanding, the desserts also had great presentation and everyone enjoyed them. Great atmosphere and a pleasant veiw of the harbour and marina from the room. In all a very pleasant environment and night out. Complimentary canapés were a great surprise!

J.

I had my birthday in the private dining room with friends, the tapas was amazing and everyone commented on how lovely the food was. We had a view over the marina and to the mount made for an awesome night, thank you 🙏

K.

The food was very good. The decor spoils the experience. A beautiful setting over looking a Marina and setting sun, instead in a room that is dark and finger and those awful semi brick walls and things. Perhaps a trip to Auckland to see how a restaurant such as Sails has their decor complimenting the view.

R.

Recently tried the new brunch menu at Salinity and was really impressed. The eggs benedict was delicious and I'm definitely keen to go back and try the other brunch options on the menu. You can't beat the view and I love that Salinity offers something different to all the standard mount cafe's.

S.

Awesome setting. One of the best steaks I've had in a long time. Barbara and the team were knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. We'll defo be back!

S.

We have a motto in our lives- ALWAYS WITH A VIEW......and here we are at Salinity. You could be at ANY Marina throughout the world sitting here and gazing waterside. What a great establishment. And staff are friendly and thoughtful. Decor is modern and moody oozing class.

E.

Great food prepared and presented by a chef who knows what he's doing. Tastes and textures were balanced and satisfying. Scallops were huge, crispy skin salmon seemed to melt in the mouth and the dessert of chocolate marquise with berry sorbet and icecream was so balanced you couldn't fault it.

J.

Very nice food and good service. A wonderful setting along side the marina

j.
