After reading so many reviews I've decided to take my partner for a romantic dinner at SALT.And what a woderful evening we had!Friendly service right from the moment we steped into the restaurant. We were seated at the window table and I must honestly said that you won't be able to find better view in Cape Town. Service was very friendly and professional with great knowledge of wine ond food.Fantastic freshly baked bread which was still warm while served! I highly reccomend mussels and quail as starter.For the main course we had wonderful venison and my partne's favourite- pork belly. We finished with delicious asiette, which was a selection of 5 different desserts.Salt is a perfect combination of style, great food, wonderful service and the most amazing view.We will definitely visit you again!

Unfriendly hostess, good sevice, but very average food. The cloakroom was untidy and dirty, which really put me off. You won't find me rushing back! Great view though.

In Salt's defence...My husband and I are world traveller's who love food and we own our own catering company as well and challenge you to go back for the mussels and the beetroot salad...these two items are the best selling on the menu...so we were told when we ate there and we quite enjoyed it, in fact it was better than the ones that we had at Beluga. And it is so unfair and unfortunate that one unhappy client is putting the reputation of good chefs and staff on the line. ..So I challenge you whoever you might be to please go back...

Lunch 16/8/09 - friendly greeting. Seated promptly at window table with views of the Atlantic. Attentive waitrons with prompt drinks service. The food was rather disappointing...our shared beetroot salad starter (Rocket/beetroot/goats cheese/melon/pine nuts) was not served on rocket but mixed greens. I then ordered the steamed mussels with coriander/lemongrass/garlic/chilli and coconut milk only for it to arrive looking rather yellow containing heaps of tumeric and heaps of salt. No taste of said ingredients. Whats on the menu is not what you get. I returned the dish as it was far too salty. My partner ordered the yellowtail on pesto mash which was in fact not too bad. I replaced my mussels with the quail salad, which was fair but not great for the price. The front of house were extremely apologetic. Its not surprising the restuarant was empty - CHEF YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF WHAT LEAVES YOUR KITCHEN.....will we go back....yes but only for the view

Warm wine, mediocre food experience: How can it be that there are no wine fridges to regulated temperature of the red wines at this establishment? Unreal that a glass of pinot noir is served at 21 degrees. Amazing setting indeed but clueless regards serving a glass of wine at the correct temperature - basics guys, basics!

Karibu "Karibu is one of my favourite restaurants to pop in for a dinner that never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed with a distinct South African feel that's both elegant and upmarket. The service is friendly and efficient - I always rely on the manager (Bruce) for meal recommendations which thus far has been spot-on, yet I'm sure the menu as a whole is good......"
