Salt Grill & Sky Bar.

I finally got to try out the much talked about Salt Grill and Sky Bar, helmed by the renowned Luke Mangan. We went on for dinner on a wednesday night, and made a reservation for 6.30pm. It might seem rather early for a dinner reservation but this allows one to take in the views and more importantly catch the sunset!

Dinner was decently priced, mainly due to it being restaurant week.

Service was pretty good, we were well taken care of right from the moment we stepped in, with the waiter getting our drinks for us rather quickly. ( Another perk of picking an earlier time for a dinner reservation!) The bf had the sydney crab omelette while I had the salmon to start with. I would say the food was pretty average, nothing worth gushing about. The omelette was pretty disappointing though, I felt it was slightly overcooked and somehow didn't appreciate the lack of crab in the crab omelette, plus the miso broth that came with it was slightly odd.

For the main course, I chose the grilled spatchcock, mainly due to me choosing to stick to a safe choice. It turned out alright, with the grilled chicken that was rather tender and moist and I loved the accompanying parsnip puree.

I would say the view would be the only reason I'll return to Salt Grill & Sky Bar. Don't get me wrong the food is not bad and unpalatable, just that for that price you can get a more satisfying dinner elsewhere. Maybe it's just because it's restaurant week hence the rather restrictive menu, so maybe a trip down on a regular night might be worth a shot!
