Seafood chowder starter was 80% potato, honey chilli chicken starter was 70% boiled rice but at least both had more taste than the seabass main which was definitely not grilled as the skin was colourless and soggy . Very bland dish below average at best . Would not recommend the dishes we were served at " award winning" restaurant.

We ate here last Sunday evening. Have eaten here on different occasions and it never disappoints. Service was a bit slow because they were really busy, but lovely welcoming staff and the food as usual was well worth waiting for. There were 4 of us eating, we chose not to have a starter and all ordered rare sirloin steaks and sides. Can always highly recommend the steaks here. We shared deserts, Malteser sundae and profiteroles. 😋 Coffee and drinks. Can't wait to return

The restaurant is upstairs with beautiful views across to Strangford. We were a party of three, myself, husband and son. I chose not to have a starter but hubby and son both ordered seafood chowder. The chowder arrived with homemade wheaten bread. Both really enjoyed their starters, the sauce was beautiful, the wheaten bread really fresh as it was just out of the oven. My son and I ordered the seafood platter for mains. It arrived, excellent presentation and comprised salmon, smoked haddock,mussels,prawn Mornay and if that wasn't enough also haddock goujons! Every single piece of fish was cooked to perfection. In all honesty I struggled to finish mine but as it was so delicious I was too greedy to leave any. Hubby had seafood linguine which he enjoyed thoroughly. In fact he commented that it was much tastier than one he had in Padstow last summer. Unfortunately we didn't have room for desert. Maybe next time? Service was attentive, warm and friendly. This was our first visit but we intend to return and would have no hesitation recommending The Salthouse!

We ate in the bird's nest right at the top in a little private room with amazing views of the Lough. The service was very good, (fortunately young and fit servers otherwise a lot of stairs for them!!) prompt and attentive but not too much. The food was excellent and plenty, we couldn't manage a pudding!! Very reasonably priced. The only let down was the bar downstairs (sailing club?) which was somewhat underwhelming and rather utilitarian decor wise. The restaurant wine list was extremely reasonably priced (£14 for a bottle of white), but we would have happily paid at least another £10 -£15 for a much better bottle which would have matched the food quality.

A hidden gem! First time eating at the Salthouse Restaurant on Sunday and it certainty won't be my last time visiting. From an initial warm and friendly welcome from staff member Ali, the family friendly atmosphere and attentive service was followed up by amazingly fresh and delicious seafood. The drive from Belfast was 100% worth it for the Prawn and Cod Mornay, chief Colm has a gift, teamed with his staff. I couldn't fault them, the value for money made me do a double take when i received the bill, being used to spending almost twice the amount for the equivalent in Belfast. To top off our trip Ali was able to point us in the best beauty spots to walk off our delicious feed. Can't wait to try what else the Salthouse has to offer.

We had a smashing meal in the Salthouse last night. We (4) ate in the Crow's Nest, ideal for a date, great for four, six at a cramped pinch but wouldn't recommend trying more. Fabulous view over the Lough, even in the dark! Lovely to see the ferry with its Christmas lights. Wonderful, delightful staff ran up and down all the stairs and, though we did our best to compress our orders (!), ran up again to make sure we were happy (which we were!). Great food, scampi always a joy, desserts superb, staff really couldn't have been nicer. If I could make one request, it would be if you could develop your vegetarian offerings more. Always the same two (tbh, pretty uninspiring) mains, and my veggie friends are getting a bit sad.

My best advice is to simply go and enjoy great food in a great setting. Looking over Strangford lough the scenery is beautiful and the sunset ifvyou are lucky enough to catch one can be stunning! It's probably best to book, but when you do you'll be treated to a warm welcome, fabulous food, and a truly lovely culinary experience!

We were here on 5/6/2021 we were a party of 4, the food was excellent we had scampi, steak and a titanic burger followed by sticky toffee pudding, chess cake and profiteroles. We found the place clean and friendly. However the service was disjointed drinks had to be ordered and paid for separately I paid by debit card and my card was taken downstairs to be tapped could not be done at the table I was told. We asked to try the house wine (as we would in any restaurant) and was told this was not allowed. We had many different staff tending to our table (too many) asking the same questions. It seemed there were too many staff. Overall we enjoyed eating here as the food and atmosphere were great it’s a shame the service let it down this time.

The food was quite delicious - variously mussels, baked mushrooms and ribs to start, followed by chicken burger, steak sandwich and sea food platter; all beautifully presented and delicious. The bill at the end wasn't painful - about £20/head excluding drinks. Altogether outstanding - we'll definitely be back.

A friend and I decided to go for dinner at the Salthouse while we stayed in Portaferry last weekend. We saw on their Facebook page about the crows nest option to dine privately on the top floor with a view of the bayand decided to try it. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite, and the food was amazing. It was a set menu and not only was the food delicious but the portions were huge and it was amazing value. Even though we were dining alone on the top floor the staff were very prompt with orders and food arrival and also made sure to check on us regularly so we didn't feel stranded. Would highly recommend.

Was in Portaferry for a few days over the bank holiday and we planned ahead by booking a table for 6pm. Arrived and was told table wasn't ready and had to wait another 15 minutes which was fine. When we eventually got seated, no drink order was taken nor was any menus provided. We were left unattended for about 20 minutes before we managed to flag a waiter down. It was 7.30 before we got our starters. They were okay - I got the seafood chowder which was more like a stew as there wasn't much liquid in it, but the wheaten bread was not home made, nor was it fresh. We had ordered 3 kids meals to come with our starters but they sent the wrong thing out. Everyone else seemed to be happy/content with what they ordered. We didn't get our mains until 8.30 - again most were happy with the food (I got the beef and bird sizzler - pepper sauce was very nice) by the time we got the bill and paid it was almost 9.30 - 3.5 hours after the table booking which is a ridiculous amount of time to be spending in a restaurant (with kids might I add) regardless of how busy they may have been. Lastly, I found the set up of having to pay for alcohol & soft drinks there and then instead of adding it to the food bill. Meant you had to get specific staff for your drinks, which was a bit of a pain.Overall the experience was hit and miss

Staff were friendly and welcoming, and food was ok but honestly could be a bit better. Had the soup of the day and there was a fly in it! got served wheaten bread with the starter and didn’t get to eat it as it wasn’t served with a knife to butter the bread. Also, the bar must be separate from the restaurant? As we had to pay for our drinks at the table while we were having our dinner. Seemed a bit pointless and inconvenient. Walked out disappointed, unfortunately. A shame because of the location and the lovely staff.

this is the second time iv,e been here eating and thought i would write a review about the fantastic food served here ., The first time i ate here i thought this is heaven , the seafood chowder was awesome , best i ever tasted with a charred langostine placed on top of mussles and smoked fish all on in a lovely chowder , needless to say i had the seafood pasta and although it too was delicious i had to leave some to make way for the dessert , my compliments to the chef , the wine was priced well below what you would pay in a restaurant of its calibre, but it comes from the bar below the restaurant so you pay seperate for drinks with a small bottle costing £3.50. . You need to book for this place but the wait is well worth it , staff are very attentive and service is excellent , will be back soon,

It's a little but hard to find as the restaurant is actually situated on the second floor of the Portaferry Sailing Club so that can cause some confusion. Recent renovations have resulted in a lift/elevator being installed so that is great for wheelchair access. Food was good (not exceptional) with a great variety of dishes to choose from and the serving staff could not have been more pleasant or accommodating. Definitely a pleasant spot.

I really liked the restaurant. I’d been recommended to go there, by Harbour Manager, during our time in the marina. I’m so glad we took his advise. I’m choosy about where I eat, so had spent time researching. I originally was going to the portaferry hotel but instead chose this lovely restaurant within the sailing club. The Salthouse was great. Chips were hand cooked and prawns were freshly shelled and not horrible frozen types. I had open prawn sandwich, with delightful homemade bread and a portion of chips. Afterwards could not resist the best pavlova I’ve tasted so far!

In short order our drinks were delivered followed quickly by two beautiful apitisers. The prawn cocktails had beautiful fresh prawns in a light Marie Rose sauce with a undressed side salad of lettuce, cucumber and tomato. The empty plates were quickly removed by the attentive but unobtrusive staff. The mains arrived shortly after and were the highlight of the meal. The generous serving of mussels were piping hot served in a creamy flavoursome sauce. Conor and Nial who served us our food were polite and friendly. As I often say in my reviews good food served by friendly attentive staff is not rocket science and the Salthouse did both excellently.

Three of us visited on Saturday evening and had an absolutely fantastic meal. We all had fish dishes which were delicious, piping hot and well served by a young team who were excellent in looking after all our needs. The seafood platter was superb, the seafood tagliatelle and the chargrilled seabass - excellent and cooked to perfection. Crumbed mushrooms were delicious and the pavlova just finished a really outstanding evening meal. Could easily dine here everyday!! Well done to the chef and all the staff for a great experience, Well priced and an extensive menu. Thank you.

We have 35 people in The Salthouse today for lunch and the service was excellent, food was excellent and it was great value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it as we were made so welcome.

Ate here two nights in a row last weekend while staying in Portaferry for the weekend. As always the food was amazing. Prices really reasonable and the staff are so friendly and helpful. You'll be spoilt for choice as always. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Loved The Poachers Pocket, despite (old) mixed reviews online... 'front of house' prob needs a little work, be good to have a greeter, stood for a few mins when we arrived, not obvious who to speak with - everyone looked busy.. and the lady who did finally approach us - was prob more suited to backroom staff.. unsmiling and unfriendly but couldn't fault the food or service after that... starters and mains all delicious.. would highly recommend...!!!

Want a change of menu? Had Chinese, Indian, Italian, and all the local food? Well what about Dutch? A very interesting and different menu for any meal. Generous helpings of quality food, in Netherlands style; and served by friendly people who give the customer attention and the young waitress who served us was exceedingly nice too. The tray bakes were also delightful, as well as the cooked food. I recommend trying this interesting place for a change; and probably, like me, and those I was with, you will want to return again, and try some other delightful items on the menu.
