He brings the Modern Australian dining experience for the guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant itself has 157 seats along with all the excitement and theatre of an open kitchen.

Me and my girlfriend were guests in the hotel and found the restaurant is interesting from the outside. So, we came to the restaurant for dinner that day. It was friday night so the restaurant is only half full. The staffs were extremely friendly and helpful. It was very pleasing service and great ambience.

Entrée

My girlfriend ordered scallop from the tapas menu for her entrée. She said that the scallop was really perfect with the combined taste from the scallop and the chorizo. It's because scallops usually have blunt taste! The pea puree and squeezed lemon made the scallop tasted more.

Main

I ordered 200g grilled meat fillet and roasted peking duck for my girlfriend. The meat comes with green beans and BBQ sauce and also french fries which more than enough for two. The mains were beautifully cooked and tasted incredible! I could feel the texture of the beef and the crunchiness of the green beans. The BBQ sauce and the french fries were awesome. I tried a mouthful roasted peking duck from my girlfriend. The duck was perfectly cooked, the sauce was not too sour and the snake beans are good. Overall, this two mains were perfect!

Dessert

On the next day, we came again to the Salt Grill only for the dessert. For the dessert, my girlfriend ordered vanilla crème brûlée and chocolate soufflé for me. The crème brûlée was really nice that made my girlfriend said that she could eat ten of that, LOL. I enjoyed my chocolate soufflé which has soft texture and great taste. It comes with ice cream and chocolate sauce.

The whole meal cost about AUD$150 for the two of us. I thought it was well spent for the quality of the restaurant and the foods. We would definitely return to Salt Grill next time when we visit Gold Coast.
