Salt On The Pier

This has to be one of the most over priced meals I have ever paid for.nI requested a 250 gram rump steak cooked medium rare and it should of come with salad and chips.nI also brought a seafood chowder that had no seafood in the chowder.nIt was the worst meal I have ever had in Christchurch.nThe steak was like chewing 10 year old chewing gum.nIt was cooked weldone and the salad was absolutely crap.nPresentation was like they just took a dump on the plate.nThe chowder tasted like you were eating sand.nI couldn't even eat the chowder and it was a great disappointment.nI also brought 2 real fruit ice creams, and the staff had no hygiene rules in place and went from cleaning up to holding the cone with their bare hands and making the ice cream.nWe were absolutely disappointed in the food and services.nAlso the tables were never wiped down and even after we requested it to be wiped, it was like they just moved the dirt around the table.nI would highly recommend you give this place a miss.nI spent close to $90 and feel very ripped off now.

Called in starving and dieing for a coffee.nWe used the ground floor cafe, the first storey restaurant may well offer a better option.nI ordered whitebait, hard to go wrong with and the whitebait was good, but accompanying chips soggy, and small serving, to be fair, two little boys on the next table were sharing a bowl of what looked like excellent chips! Accompanying 'salad' very poor, mainly coarse red cabbage with a very sweet and sticky dressing.nCoffee pretty mediocre, certainly not up to Switches standard. My partners muffin listed as banana, also had a lot of chocolate in it, which made consumption 'messy'!

We had a wonderful dining experience. The food was delicious and the service was equally impressive.

It's an awesome place to have dinner on the beach. It was my favorite place when I used to live in Christchurch. Loved seafood, drinks, their homemade breads and drinks. I just came to Christchurch for a conference and had dinner in Salt on the pier. Happy that the place is keeping its quality :

Had brunch here and sat upstairs. The eggs Benedict was so good and my partner had the kiwi burger and it's huge. He is a fussy burger water and he loved it. Will definitely be back and great to have this as a local.
