Salinity Restaurant & Bar 101 Te Awanui Drive, Bridge Marina, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty 3110

"We booked the private room. Katrina and the team were outstanding. The food was fabulous and the service was brilliant. Staff were appearing with great timing to check on us. Would def do this again. Was a brilliant night and experience."

"Food was good, service was bad nobody asked if we wanted a desert. We had 1 drink and waited over half hour with empty glasses and nobody asked if we wanted another drink so we didn't bother. Two waiters walked pass our table and we try to ask them with no luck."

"I recently visited Salinity and it does have some standout features worth mentioning. Let me start with the positives. The restaurant offered cheap mimosas with multiple flavors which was a great value. I particularly enjoyed the orange mimosa which had a refreshing taste. The setting of the restaurant was also beautiful with a lovely view. It was the perfect spot for a Sunday brunch with friends. The atmosphere was very calming which added to the overall experience. However, there were a few negative points that I must mention. There are some confusing rules about booking the private room, which was a bit of a letdown. When I ordered eggs benedict, it didn't come with toast which was a bit of a disappointment. Moreover, the restaurant used lettuce with the eggs which was an unusual combination and not to my liking. Lastly, I was surprised to find no egg-free options on the breakfast menu which can be a problem for people with allergies. Overall, the restaurant had some great positives, but there were also some negatives that could be improved. I would recommend this restaurant for its cheap mimosas and beautiful setting, but the confusing menu and lack of options for people with dietary restrictions could be improved."

"This restaurant has great views. Staff are friendly. I have been numerous times and they always run out of something. In the past it was no avocados for mashed avo or no orange juice for mimosas. This time it was the potato cakes on their brunch menu. The replacement offered was sourdough toast that you couldn't even cut with a knife let alone eat. And no discount given or offered. Everyone's egg were cold. The kitchen needs a shake up and maybe you need to rethink having sourdough on your menu. Apparently even the staff have suggested having it removed because of the complaints they receive from customers. Our waiter Dylan by the way was absolutely fabulous. Very professional and attentive. Shame about the food."

"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."
