Play Pokies at Rocksalt Restaurant & Bar in Kerikeri

Nice venue in itself, but bartender has a real attitude problem, i was clearly an inconvenience to her evening. i said i was in for dinner, and asked for a beer, and insisted i paid for that before i chose my dinner, and then said i needed to be out by a certain time as table was booked. Plenty of time in theory, but meal took a long time to come out, and id have been able to make up the time eating if i didnt have to spend so much time chewing the steak, it rivaled the sole of a boot for tenderness. Wont be bringing the group of 5 ill be with tomorrow when my colleagues arrive in town, thats for sure

Went here tonight and ordered Ribs, was told I had to pay straight away (so I decided I would not be having desert later, as do not want separate payments). I have had Ribs at 3 different restaurants in the past 8 days, and these were the worst. Bland, little flavour, fatty, and not much meat. Looked good, but were a let down. Also just plain wedges with sour cream. Most places also serve a coleslaw or something else for similar price.
Plate was collected almost before I had put the fork down. I will not be back next time in Kerikeri.

Great little bar / Restaurant. Friendly staff and beautiful meals. We had the Fish and Chips, Prawn Salad and the Chicken Fettuccine. They were all beautifully presented and tasted fabulous. Thanks 😊 My parents go there regularly as a treat for themselves. Glad they shared there spot with me.??'???'?

11 of us went to dinner here and everyone of us enjoyed our meal. Great menu choice. Were so full couldn't fit dessert in so went back the next night to sample the desserts. Dessert menu not so great a choice but desserts were nice.

Decent spot for a pint. Plenty of cosy corners, a pool table, a dining room and outdoor seating. Staff are chill, sports on the screens and a relaxed vibe. Looks a bit dated in spots but I imagine anyone who ever lived in KeriKeri has one or two good stories about what goes down at the RockSalt.
