Rocksalt Seafood and Grill in Harborough

We visited last weekend with my family and we had a great time from start to finish, the service was so great for us , we also enjoyed all our food was really fresh And tasty too, I highly recommend this restaurant to every one as they have lots of nice food options not only on they menu , but they still have they daily menu which we think that is great to have on the restaurant, thank you so much to all the staff at Rocksalt Bistro

Having some time to kill at midday my wife and I decided to try the Rocksalt for a meal. The menu looked Ok albeit a little on the pricey side. We had just come back from France where we were getting good quality Bistro meals, often 3 courses for between 16 and 20 Euro compared to the Rockfish which had a set menu at £22 for two courses. We were used to waiting as the French don't rush and its worth it for freshly cooked meals but the Rockfish seem to work in a different time zone. We arrived at approximately 12:15, were shown to our table by a very matter of fact gentleman and we did not get our main meal until 1:45. The French usually supply a basket of fresh bread or some amuse bouche to help you while away the time , but not here. The breaded Whitebait starter eventually arrived and tasted ok but looked factory produced and simply fried prior to serving. As for the main, my wife chose some chicken we she described as adequate. I chose the Fish and chips and the best description of it was akin to the closing time left overs from a fish and chip shop that have been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Most definitely not fresh cooked. The fish looked as though it had been re battered and fried again because the batter was like a thick concrete crust. I was expecting a nice light crispy batter not something that you had to pry off with a fork because the blunt knife couldn't cut it. It was unpleasant and I had to remove it all to reveal a niggardly piece of fish within. The chips , instead of crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle had the consistency of a warmed up roast potato and an unappetising brown colour rather than a vibrant gold. To wait this length of time without explanation or apology and to be served a meal of such low standard is simply not acceptable. When my plate went back largely uneaten, the waiter ( Owner?) made no attempt to question why but simply scurried off avoiding eye contact. So to summarize, Average ambience, staff aloof, waiting time unacceptable, food quality poor for so called "fresh cooked". Expensive for what was offered. Would I go again? NO.

We had a table booked for lunch and arrived to be shown straight to our table . Menus given to us and drinks ordered. A lovely bottle of rose and beers . We ordered and our food arrived after a long wait. 3 of the 4 of us had finished but my husband was still eating his Moules Marianerre , the waiter took the plates from the 3 of us whilst my husband was still eating …… just rude !! Main course followed quickly and were very nice , lobster Lamb Shanks and Seafood Linguine. We were then offered dessert but declined . We felt we were being stood over by the waiting staff to leave as it was now circa 14.55pm we had wine to finish and would have liked a coffee ….. not offered !!! Thank goodness we hadn’t ordered dessert as I think they would have made us eat it outside. 15.10pm and we were chatting and finishing our drinks when what appeared to be the front of house manager / owner dressed in jeans mouthed over to my husband CLOSING and made us feel very uncomfortable as he walked off to the kitchen !!!! We necked our drinks and walked out without a thank you or goodbye as front of house guy had gone …….. while the food was good the service needs a lot of fine tuning .

Have been to Rocksalt a number of times and normally like the place. However our last visit was a disaster as our table was upstairs next to a large party with babies being bounced on the table, balloons being bashed and screaming tantrums. we walked out. The restaurant refused to refund our deposit.

Food was good, the risotto they serve alot of the fish on was tasty. Service was a bit on the slow side and was stuck upstairs with shouting kids which isn't the most pleasant experience. Would try again on a different day.

Visited a couple times with my girlfriend, drinks was lovely specially the cocktails. I myself had the lobster linguine and my girlfriend had the lamb shank, I must say the food was amazing and the service was top tier. Highly recommend. The desserts was perfect as well

My experience at Rocksalt with my family was fantastic we all loved the food , I had the rack of lamb and I have to say it was divine so tender and tasty dish , My family also loved all they food , our favourite restaurant in Leicestershire We will return again and again at this amazing restaurant.

Quite excited to try this place out so it was a shame I came home disappointed. Welcome was friendly shown to our table which I have yo say situation wise seemed like a bit of a squash in. The menu was good with addional specials on offer. My companion and I selected are choices of scallops yo start and monkfish main and we where served are drinks by friendly staff. This is where it became disappointing we had been waiting for a while for starters to arrive where I was just about to enquire when our first course would be arriving when a waitress came to the table to let us know tgat we would have to change are order of main as they had ran out. I thought surely they should have known when we ordered this was a good half hour later ? We changed are choice me going for the seafood linguine which stated tiger prawns mussels and squid but yo be honest I felt so rushed since it was so long since we put in the first order and buy now I was really hungry . The scallops finally arrived which were very tasty and cooked perfectly . Then there was another long wait for the main turned up, the linguine should have been on resturant as mussel linguine as tgat seemed yo bexall that was in it apart from tge one token prawn £18 for a bowl of pasta very dissatisfied . I do think we were probably short changed because we had tge 8 o'clock table as tge plates of food passing us when first got there looked alright. I doubt I'll go again .

A wedding anniversary celebration for just the two of us at one of our favourites. It was a Thursday evening and quiet but that suited us . The service was prompt as usual and we placed our order. I had the grilled prawns , (they didn’t appear grilled ) which came in a sort of stock with bread and salad . The three prawns were nice and the stock tasty but the stock wasn’t very warm, the bread also was dry as if it had been left out . My wife had the goats cheese tartlet which she enjoyed . For mains I had the halibut in a herb crust special . It was a generous portion of fish but the herb crush was more a sprinkling of some herbs/salt etc on the top. It was unusual and didn’t add much to the taste . It came with potatoes spinach and samphire and peas . Actually it came with potatoes and a dot of spinach , a very small spoon of samphire - no peas and a salad garnish . We pointed out the peas were missing and a dish of frozen peas arrived a few minutes later . Hmmmm ….. My wife had the bouillabaisse which was good as always. We skipped dessert as I felt a little irritated by my meals - yes I should have said something but to be honest they weren’t bad . It just seemed like they hadn’t got their eye on the ball or the main chef had the night off . It wasn’t to the usual high standard . Unfortunately.

This was our first meal out since moving to the area in December. We chose this restaurant based on the menu and previous reviews and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The menu has a great selection of fish and meat dishes plus additional options on the Specials board. It is also very well priced given the high quality of produce/presentation. Service was very friendly and attentive and tables are very well spaced. It has a really nice cosy bistro vibe once inside. Wine selection is also very good and again reasonably priced. For starters we had scallops / beef and horseradish croquettes and for main courses monkfish / steak. The food is beautifully presented and portions generous, so we sadly didn’t have room for dessert! (next time we will!) I can see this being a place we return to again and again. Absolutely faultless.

We visited Rocksalt on a Saturday at 12pm. We had not booked but they managed to seat us. They were very welcoming and seated us straight away. They confirmed the specials for the day and gave us just the right amount of time to choose. The food arrived promptly, it was very well presented and very nice. We also tried a local brew for ale and water was delivered to the table as standard. This is a great restaurant and I would go back again and again. Great food and staff…

Disappointed, we booked for 7pm, waiter forgot our drinks order. Service was slowwwww. Chef mistook bacon for pancetta with my monk fish and 2 slices of potato does not constitute dauphinois potatoes in my book. Triple cooked chips out of a bag to accompany my partner's steak. Will not be returning.

Although the staff were lovely and ambience was nice, the portions were disappointing. We paid an extra supplement for scallops to receive only two which were not very warm. The main of monk fish was over cooked and chewy. Just not that great and overpriced for what you get. Very disappointing.

This was the first time eating here, I have celiac disease so was a bit worried about what I could eat , I asked the gentleman who took my order and advised me the fish pie and others was gluten free, I chose the fish pie it was very tasty , but no king prawns in it or parsley added on top . My father opted for the vegetarian Wellington. It was a nice place to visit , but some suggestions I hope you don't mind , advertise a sign outside to tell other customers you are open , as you can't really tell outside. Also I have worked in the food trade before, and I felt the waiters was wearing casual clothes one in jeans , it don't look so nice in such a nice restaurant, Perhaps a apron on with the restaurant name on ,just a suggestion, but overall it was a nice atmosphere .

We had a lovely visit to Rocksalt. Fabulous service and food as always. I had the calamari followed by fish and chips, both were cooked perfectly, lovely crispy batter on the fish. My partner very much enjoyed the soup and fish pie. Service was friendly and attentive. A really nice lunch. Hope to visit again soon.

Visited Rocksalt bistro with my friend and we had a brilliant time, I had the fish pie with was delicious and full of delicious flavours, my friend had the cod fish and chips and he loved it too, the service was amazing with smiles and great skills, we highly recommend rocksalt to everyone.

We visited Rocksalt in June 23 and were very disappointed with the whole experience. The table upstairs rocked so much it spilt our drinks, so after calling the waitress and serviettes being placed under various places we were set to eat our meal. My husband and I both ordered the fish pie and extra veg, however the fish pie appeared minus the veg. After catching the waiters eye , he said he would get the veg, however we had virtually finished by the time he appeared with it so asked them to take it back. The fish pie was so disappointing with very little fish and mainly mashed potato. On paying for the meal we were charged for the veg that didn't arrive until most of the meal was paid so they agreed to remove it....it should never have been added and no apologies!!! After being given a voucher as a gift for my husband's birthday we decided to try Rocksalt again, and as luck would have us we were shown upstairs to exactly the same still rocking table and it was freezing inside ( take plenty of layers if going in the winter!!) We both ordered the fish and chips as being a fish restaurant, this should have been amazing...... How wrong were we. The batter was overcooked and the fish inside was grey and dry. We called the waiter over who said he would replace the burnt offering, and 10 minutes later along came another fish, but this time undercooked pale batter with cold mushy grey fish inside and the same chips on the plate which were by then cold. I cannot believe that they call themselves a fish restaurant. It was poor quality fish, badly cooked in a freezing restaurant with rocking table. We will avoid going again and making sure we tell everyone of our bad experience I would like to advise Rocksalt to maybe check the quality of food before serving it, and if it doesn't look acceptable, don't serve it to paying customers

Went with a large group. Seating was a little tight but adequate for such a large group. Food was excellent very many positive comments from attendees. Ambience was also very good for such a small restaurant with so many people. I supplied a pre-order list and late modifications to the list were dealt with efficiently and service was well organised with menu choices linked well to individual people. Generally a very positive experience and will use again.

My husband and I took a client for dinner and had a lovely evening. It is a very cosy restaurant and we were offered a warm welcome. Food and wine were excellent. We would definitely recommend and will be returning. We went quite early mid-week and it was a little chilly in there, but it was a very cold evening.

Visited this venue on Saturday night with my friends, and we all loved everything on this restaurant from start to finish, can’t wait to visit again.

Visited this restaurant on Saturday night with my friend,and I have to say the welcome was fantastic from the moment we entered to the door , the best par ever was the food, excellent from start to finish, the menu was reasonably priced and with lots of lovely choices, they also had lots of delicious specials on yhe board, we highly recommend this restaurant to all the family members and friends,

Great food, great service and atmosphere. Great variety of meal options. We really enjoyed it and will come back again.

First time at Rocksalt, my son and daughter in law recommended this place to us and boy was it a good recommendation, from the minute we walked in the door we felt very at home and welcome, the food was nothing short of excellent, we had a starters and mains ( not enough room for desert) every single piece of food was outstanding and not to mention the service. All in all a very nice place with outstanding food and service at very reasonable prices. If you are in Market Harbour this is a must.

Ordered fish and chips and wasn't what I Expected The fish was mushy with over cooked batter. After sending it back another one arrived 10 minutes later with the same chips which were cold , and undercooked batter and fish next time. The fish is very poor quality, not white and flaky but grey and mushy. Not what I expect to pay for in a supposedly fish restaurant!!! I would personally avoid and go to the local Wetherspoons where it is half the price and described as COD . I really don't know what fish they use at Rock salt but if it's Cod the chef needs some cookery lessons

We had a great works night out at Rocksalt. All of our pre ordered food was brought out in good time. The staff were very professional, attentive, and patient with the varied needs of a large group of customers. The food was a good quality and well presented. Would eat here again.

Six of us for dinner on a Friday night- brilliant service and food! Would highly recommend it for a lovely meal.

Popped in on the off chance and with no prior knowledge of Rocksalt as this was our first visit to Market Harborough. We were hugely impressed by the really friendly staff and wonderful food. Salmon and soup starters were lovely and the seafood linguine and sea bass mains exceptional.Would definitely recommend to others and visit again ourselves.

I had high expectations based on the fact that this restaurant seems to get booked up some time in advance, and also that a deposit is required to secure a table booking (which is unusual for this area). I cant fault the service, which was good. Staff very friendly and considering the restuarant was busy we didnt have to wait a long time for food. All staff were wearing masks, and the restaurant felt safe.I was however disappointed with the execution of the meals, and feel that this restuarant does not provide value for money. I had the 'surf and turf' with sirloin steak which is a £20 surcharge, plus another £2.50 for a steak sauce. The surcharge on top of the set menu cost means a total of £44.50 for a calamari starter and the surf and turf main. If you allowed say £10 for the starter, it brings the cost of the main to £34.50. Whilst I appreciate lobster is an expensive seafood, it was overcooked, dry and lacked flavour. The calamari was in very uninformed rings and didnt appear to be freshly made. The steak was cooked well and was very tasty, and the chips were fresh. Overall, a pleasant meal but a shame the mos expensive items were not executed well enough.

Enjoyed a wonderful affordable Saturday lunch at Rocksalt. Food was absolutely amazing, flavoursome and so well presented.

Great fresh food great service lovely cocktails ! Lovely steak !! And seafood pasta we will definitely be back !! Thanku

Food was lovely but the restaurant upstairs where we were seated was unbelievably warm. The aircon was spewing out warm air, despite the temperature outside. We didn't stay for desert because we could bear the heat, and the waitress agreed that it was difficult for them to work in that environment.

We visited this bistro the night before our eldest son's wedding in Market Harborough. It was our first visit. All the family were socially-distance meeting for the first time. Have to say, the staff were wonderful, everyone was masked and we felt very safe indeed. (My husband and I are in the 'vulnerable' category and we were uncertain whether to attend). And they accommodated us brilliantly as I'm disabled and was unable to handle the stairs to the original room. But the food was SO expensive. and really disappointing

Poor food over cooked scollops the size of smarties poor cocktails but friendly staff. May have been an off day but to expensive to risk again.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff, amazing food. Wish we lived closer. The Scallop starter special and T Bone steak were delicious

Rocksalt is our favourite restaurant, the food is great staff fantastic. But unfortunately when we were there this week, I was facing the door to the kitchen when a male member staff (we assumed he was the manager as he was the only member wearing ordinary clothes not dressed in black) he entered the kitchen with his mask on which he then removed and wiped his nose several times on his hand he then put his mask back on and came back into the restaurant. This is disgusting at anytime but at the current time absolutely dreadful. It's difficult at the moment going back into restaurants etc but that type of behaviour will put most people off, hygiene is paramount!! The rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Taking advantage of the fact that both my wife and myself had the same week day off together yesterday, we decided to have lunch at our local favourite eatery, with the added bonus of the governments "eat out to help out" scheme.What a delightful, relaxed, cheerful and welcoming environment. All safety procedures were adhered to without making anyone feel uncomfortable and without fear of a stern reprimand from surly and rude staff, as encountered in other local establishments we have used recently.The food was excellent, as always, with a varied specials board. Our favourite starter of crispy duck salad was delicious as always. My wife opted for the chicken breast and I had the pork belly from the specials board. Both of which were tasty and scrumptious.Can't wait to visit again soon.

My wife and I had a delicious lunch here today. Seafood was beautifully cooked and the service was as it should be; friendly and attentive without being overbearing. No room for pudding so we’ll have to return !

Great Staff and Atmosphere . They promised to offer vegan options, but it was a little disappointed. There was no Replacement of the Dairy things the offer.Your place is great, work on the things you promise and i am sure this will be a food heaven. It is all made with love!

First visit , but won’t be the last, first class menu with a wide selection of food on the menu to suit everyone tastes. Lovely selection of fish , chicken and steaks. It would be well advised to book in advance to ensure a table. The service was excellent and staff worthy of praise. Very busy on a Friday and the weekend. Will definitely return again.

Lovely evening. Little noisy due to close proximity of a hen do, but staff were attentive, service quick and food amazing.

Asked for a corner table. Tick Food scrummy doos. Tick Staff attentive and lovely. Tick Will we go again. Tick tick tick. Thank you.

Had a meal here on a Saturday night and whilst as a group we had an enjoyable evening the food was so poor!! I had a tasteless smoked salmon scotch egg to start followed by a tough and fatty piece of lamb rump. Definitely won’t be going back.

Lively, busy restaurant. Deservedly so. Food was excellent. Staff (who were maxed) were attentive. Good value too. We will definitely be going back. Thank you Rocksalt!

Myself and my husband both thoroughly enjoyed both our starters and our mains. Cleaned our plates for both courses will definitely be coming again!

Tonight we went to Rocksalt. The place is quaint and cosy. Staff were pleasant and attentive. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. Something for everyone. I had the stuffed aubergine which was lovely, hubby had the fillet steak which required a £10 supplement, but he said it was cooked to perfection.

Lovely set up. Proper table service. Nice attentive staff. The food was delightful. Scallops with pork belly and sweetcorn chowder. It really worked. Lobster thermidor with a veloute sauce. Eaten in total silence. Enjoyed every bite. No wonder booking a table is necessary. Will definitely visit again. I love proper restaurants.

They leave off anything that may course an allergy, but do not replace it with an alternative. For example one of our party that had a dairy and wheat allergy had lamb, with no sauce or gravy and no potato, because it had dairy in the mash. No mention of leaving things out when ordering. So her plate had only lamb and vegetables. Also she was only offered sorbet as a desert.The other two allergy sufferers had a similar experience.When I rang them they assured me they could cater for allergies. Even cheap pubs do better and any supermarket would provide a better desert.There was no offer of a reduction in the price, even though we had said we were disappointed.The other people in the party were happy with their food, however with 3 family members with allergies, we will not be returning.

Pre booked a table for family birthday looking forward to the fish ,when arrived told both fish options had ran out offered fish pie from lunch menu which had a couple of pieces of salmon in very disappointed, same again with dessert had ran out of options!..wouldn't rush back!

So i have only ever made two reviews on TripAdvisor, one good and one bed. I can't remember the bad but the good was Pamela’s in Great Yarmouth, try it, its fab.

We booked for 23 people for a 60 th birthday party wow what a night nothing was too much trouble staffing was first class food was even better highly recommend

Great visit with lovely staff. Food excellent and good value. We have been before and we’re again very happy with everything. Service was a little slower than usual but I did not knock a star off due to time of year, great food and brill staff. See you again soon!

We only get to this restaurant once a year when we meet up with friends but it never fails to disappoint, wished we lived nearer! Always delicious, tasty food, friendly excellent service and lovely relaxing ambience. Roll on December 2020 !

It was our son's17th birthday and he chose to eat at Rocksalt for his birthday treat. The service, the food and drinks were spot on. We ate from the Christmas dinner menu and had 3 courses - excellent value @ £26. Would recommend.

I've eaten at Rocksalt twice in the last few weeks, the first experience was excellent, the second was not as good.

We visited with another couple and we were all dry pleased with what we had , the service was excellent and we would recommend this restaurant

Visited as a family of 5 adults and a toddler for my mother's 83rd birthday having booked well in advance (& paid the requisite deposit. Upon arrival we were told it was the Christmas menu - only the Christmas dinner choice wasn't available. We asked if there was an alternative meat rather than Turkey but were eventually told that none of it was available. Service was quite slow and the calamari was rubbery. Both lamb meals were tough (one well done and the other medium rare). The other 3 mains were delicious however and the pasta dish for the toddler was enjoyed. We had to remind the staff that we had paid a deposit as this hadn't been taken off the bill. Based on our overall experience I am giving 3 stars because 3 meals were delicious although 2 of the meals and starters were only worth 2 stars. Not sure we would visit again.

We visited Rocksalt in the 22nd November on the evening. The restaurant was busy but there were plenty of staff on.

I don’t usually write reviews on trip advisor but felt driven to it today.

A great suggestion made by friends, we met here today for Sunday lunch. What a great find. Between us we enjoyed whitebait, goats cheese tart, calamari and duck salad for starters followed by roast beef and chicken for main and ended with sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownie for desert. Each of us commented how lovely our food was - absolutely no complaints and the service was excellent- attentive and polite whilst unobtrusive and relaxed. A gem of a find and definitely one to return to. A most wonderful afternoon, thank you

We've been to Rocksalt half a dozen times since moving to Harborough a year ago and it has never let us down. Interesting and flavoursome dishes across all three courses, a high professional standard and some of the best food I have ever eaten. Highly recommended.

After visiting the resturant and having a pooor experience I contacted via email. After a week I never heard anything back so presume they are not interested in feedback and unhappy customers.

Just found this lovely place when visiting the town . Staff were lovely. The food was delicious. The starters offered a great choice. The fish was cooked to perfection.. I will remember the rhubarb panacotta for a Long time. We will be back if only to visit this lovely little Bistro again. Congratulations on a great place

Expensive. Food was ok, nothing to complain about , but nothing special. Crowded and noisy on a Friday night. Four of us had three courses each ( two bottles of wine ) for £196 . Scallop starters , just two small scallops ( one third the size of a golf ball , served with two equally small hard balls of black pudding ), and £4 extra !! Mostly portions not enough on most dishes. Cod loin , small , with a few slices of new potatoes and a few squashed peas ; so much for being a fish restaurant. Went to the local Chippies on the way home. We won't be going back.

Three of us chose Rocksalt for lunch on a recent visit to Market Harborough. What a find! We all had different starters, mains, and desserts and all were first class. Service was excellent, friendly, welcoming and responsive plus the lunch was great value. Highly recommended and will definitely go back.

Great food - I had the lamb, very tasty and moist. Turbot was the specials board which my friends enjoyed very much. Prompt service. Good value for money.

Overall OK but left very disappointed

The food here is always excellent, and that from a not-that-much-of-a-fish person. Service can be a bit hit and miss, it's cold if you go early and noisy if you go late - especially noist upstairs.

A friendly welcome and we’re off to a promising start with a refreshing gin cocktail. I chose the scallops followed by lemon sole and my partner enjoyed grilled prawns starter and tuna steak main course from the two course fixed-price menu.

I have heard mixed reviews from friends about Rock salt, some raved about it and others said it was poor. I have tried booking in a few times over the years but always left it late and found they were booked up. This time there was no problem getting a table. I booked myself and my wife in for our wedding anniversary. We were seated downstairs where a table of 12 were eating and making so much we could her them from outside. We asked to move upstairs as it was as noisy as a football stadium. Despite other diners the staff didn't ask these people to keep the noise down. Putting that aside the staff and the service were extremely slow. The restaurant was far from full but when we ordered we waited 30 minutes for a starter. Ok to look at, but to be honest mine was overcooked and nothing special. We had asked for my wife's meat to be well done. After waiting another 20 minutes, we were both served and my wife's meat had been cooked rare. We asked for it to be cooked some more, and the staff were happy to take it away to do this but for some reason this took another 20 minutes and it was not because they had started again, she received the same plate of food. By now I had finished my main course so we effectively had to eat our meals separately. Once again, the meal was nothing special and 50% of my wife's meat was gristle. When I complained about the delay, the staff did apologize and offered free deserts, but again they took 20 minutes for a creme brulee and an ice cream ( a very small ice cream). By now I just wanted to leave, but my wife wanted coffee and so we ordered two coffees and I asked for the bill as well. These took 17minutes. Unbelievable. We waited but no one came back to take payment so we went downstairs to the till ourselves. I am not planning a return visit.

Had a great meal here with family. Service, food and ambience very good. Good value for the quality of food served.

I went there with my husband for our wedding anniversary and the food was to die for. I had duck and pak choi for starters, my husband had scallops, cauliflower puree and black pudding and then for main my husband had beer battered fish and chips and I had linguine with seafood in a very delicious tomato sauce. If you have never tried this place, then why are you waiting, it is the best seafood restaurant you will ever imagine going to.

OK, so we headed across the county to another eatery that was unexpectedly closed so parked up in the town centre and had a wander to find something.

we are regular customers and have always been very happy until our last visit.

Rocksalt, oh Rocksalt, I’ve given you 5stars in the past. Tonight, my husbands birthday, you get 1. We appreciated it’s Saturday and busy but we’d booked a table & i’d said, at booking, my husbands birthday.

We wanted to catch up with old friends but instead we had to put up with a rowdy, drunk party on the adjacent table. We ended up moving downstairs mid-meal to another table but it was almost as bad down there with another large party. If small restaurants allow large parties they need to manage them so that other diners do not have their evening spoilt. Such a shame but I can't remember the food so maybe it wasn't that memorable. Will go to another Harborough restaurant next time... Service rated as terrible only because management should have stepped in to resolve problem.

I met up with 2 friends for dinner on a wet wednesday evening. Despite the miserable weather the restaurant was busy and had a lovely buzz. The service was friendly and the food and drink we consumed was lovely. I would definitely return.

We ate here on Saturday night. Our table was upstairs, right in the corner.

I visited this restaurant with 3 friends. I had beetroot salmon starter, sea bass for main course and creme brulee for dessert. Perhaps the kitchen staff had taken their eye off the quality on the night we visited? The salmon was ok but the salad base was gritty and needed to be washed more thorougly. I left most of it. The sea bass looked great but was really salty and again I did not finish it. The creme brulee was nice. I had a glass of wine and coffee and these were perfectly fine. From memory 2 courses cost £21 and 3 courses cost £26. My share came to around £37. There were tell tale signs of issues on the night. For instance, the ladies toilet was dirty and was too bad to use. Another customer flagged this up but it was not rectified before we left. It was a busy restaurant and seems very popular and so I can only assume it was a bad night. The waiting staff were friendly. Overall, the food on the night I dined was very ordinary and I was disappointed. I will not bother going to this restaurant again.

I had the Scallops with Black Pudding, followed by the Lamb Rump with Potato Dauphinoise and seasonal vege on a side plate. Both dishes were delicious.

Great menu, lovely food and very friendly waitressing and kitchen staff.

Two couples pre-booked well in advance, twoof the four had eaten here previously and wanted to give it a second chance after a slightly shaky first try. Your reviewer and wife were on there maiden voyage, so-to-speak.

This is the second time I’ve eaten here and the food and service was just as good as last time. I had calamari followed by seafood linguine in tomato sauce, which was yummy. Such good value at £21 for two courses.

Visited yesterday when my friend and I needed lunch. As my friend has a lot of food allergies we chose here because of the seafood.

Dined as a party of four on a Friday night. Very glad we booked ahead as the restaurant was full. Seated upstairs and it got quite warm over the course of the evening.

We have been to Rocksalt before the last time only a couple of months ago for lunch and had a nice meal.

Just went last week for a diner with my mates. And The service was excellent the food nicely presented and so fresh highly recommended this gem

We dined as a party of four on a Saturday evening and were seated on the upper floor of the restaurant next to the staircase. This upper floor area can be best described as "cosy" and the movements of people up and down the staircase was an unwelcome distraction.

We live within walking distance of this little gem and after our dinner last night have said we must go more often.

Have visited RockSalt many times and always have a great meal. There is always something new and delicious to try - this time the Crab and Lobster fishcake and Lemon Sole, my partner had Duck Salad followed by the Seafood Linguini. As always the food was delicious and we will continue to return for great seafood and a great overall experience.

Fantastic company, food and staff...so good we booked again for the following week 👍we have also booked for Father’s Day

This is a restaurant on the main street of Marke Harborough which consistently offers good quality fish and grills at a fair price.

Impromptu lunch with my other half to make up for her cancelled trip to France. The food was great and the service attentive and efficient.

Amazing food!!!! Amazing service!!!! A great place to eat in MH. Place really does any meal great. You can’t go wrong!

We were placed upstairs with a pre-wedding gathering of about 30 females who made such loud conversation we could not really talk and the noise was excessive - someone else has commented on the noise upstairs. It might have been better if the upstairs was closed for the private party. Two meals were very good but the mullet did not look or taste appetising. Pricy for what it was and given the noise.

We havent been since 2017 as we didnt have a good lunch, but tried again for dinner this week and it was excellent. Lovely menu, very well cooked & beautifully presented. Lovely gin selection too! We will certainly be going back.

Visited Rocksalt with a group last night and although the restaurant was busy it didn’t disappoint. The restaurant was cosy we were shown to our table upstairs. The service was great, always insuring we had everything we needed. The menu had a lot of lovely options but in the end I opted for something of the specials board - scallops and calamari with pancetta and for main cod. Both were absolutely delicious. The other members of my party also said their food was very tasty. Accompanied with wine and followed by desserts - chocolate brownie and baileys cheesecake, we left very satisfied and had a lovely evening.

We made a reservation for my partners birthday after we were excited by several of the options on the menu. Unfortunately when we got to the restaurant and were seated the menus we were given were different to what we had seen on the website, we were then advised by the waitress that 5 of the dishes (a mix of starters and mains) were no longer available. It took half an hour before our drink and food order were taken. When our starters arrived my partner was really pleased, however mine was cold and missing the pork belly from the scallops which there was a surcharge for. Once our plates were cleared the waitress came out to apologise that they had just ran out of fillet steak so my partner chose Tuna, asking for this medium rare. When our mains came out mine was yet again cold with my partners tuna over cooked and grey...not how tuna is meant. At this point we complained and was offered 1 free dessert. We placed our order only for her to come out a few minutes later to apologise that they had ran out of what we wanted! This was the 7th dish on the menu that was not available. The whole evening was very disappointing with a different menu to what we were expecting, cold or over cooked food and not many options to choose from.

I have wanted to try this place for a long time and glad we eventually did. We sat downstairs and it was full , table booked for 8.30pm. One down mark was that when given the menu we were not told about the specials board but luckily I spotted it. The only thing was when we ordered our starters were then told that they may but have any of mine left. Minor thing but should be told before ordering about specials and if available. Staff were great , atmosphere good & food lovely even though my fishcake starter was not warm enough in the middle. The sea bass main was absolutely perfect and very tasty as wasn’t husbands steak. total bill £77 incl bottle of wine so good value and we would return. Oh and the desserts were great!

We had been looking forward to this for a friends birthday but it was really mediocre. We visited on a Saturday lunch time and the restaurant was busy with a good vibe. The wait to be seated was ok but the wait for drinks was long, about 15 minutes and then a long wait for the order to arrive. The starters were fine but mains not so good. I ordered tuna, as did one of my friends. We were asked how we wanted it cooked and asked for medium. It was more than well done which spoiled it. The dish was described with samphire and new potato mash. No samphire or new potatoes but mash and broccoli, which I hate. I would not have ordered the dish if broccoli had been included. One of our party had fish and chips. The chips were greasy and fish looked, mad tasted, as if it had been cooked a few days before. Another long wait for service. Altogether not a great experience

This review is based on our experience up to the point we left, which was before actually being served any food or drink.
