Salty's Restaurant & Bar in Isle of Wight

Had a late lunch at Saltys yesterday. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was very good. Whats not to like!

Fabulous food, the prawn linguine was to die for! Staff were great but we kept getting asked what we wanted twice! Our dog was allowed in but we had to sit downstairs which wasn't a problem. Altogether a nice experience and even though it was more expensive than I usually pay for pasta/pizza, it was definitely worth it gor a weekend treat. We will definitely go back again.

Great visit . Our daughter loved her menu, and our pizza and pasta were both tasty and authentic. Great wine menu, decor is stylish and lovely service!

Delicious pizza and superb entertainment

As others have said, Salty's is an excellent pizza/pasta/music place. The service was outstanding, the staff even moved us to another table when they saw we were getting agitated by loud guests at the next table. Nothing was too much trouble, the service up to American standards where another drink is on the way as soon as you put an empty glass down. They deserve to do well, and 90% of other UK F&B establishments, take note how Salty's care for their customers! Well done. Oh, food was delicious too.

Great staff make this a fun place to go. Really tasty pizzas and reasonably priced wines.

Excellent pizza, great place. Safe food option in Yarmouth. Earlier is family friendly, later in the evening it becomes more of a bar and louder fun vibe.

Visited over the weekend with a very large group for a reunion. We had pre-ordered food and the food was delicious but the real highlight was the service. The staff let us come in early, were incredibly well organised at bringing the food out and getting it to the right person and found a missing earring at the end of the meal. Everything was seamless, friendly and we felt very welcomed. Thank you, Beth!

We popped in to Saltys for an early dinner with our daughter last night. Honestly the best pizza we’ve ever had! The team are so friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere and decor. Absolutely a 5 star review. The only thing that could improve it would be if they had beer on tap. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Excellent service in the nicest quay side Italian. The food was amazing, to quote my son ‘it’s the best pizza ever!’

Simple food done well and served quickly in a charming recently refurbished building.

Love love love this little yarmouth gem. Staff are happy and want to be there, food is amazing and the cocktails are definitely a reason to keep going back. Thanx saltys manager and staff. X

We had a takeaway Pizza, it was brilliant, nice fluffy dough, not to salty, would recommend 👌

Pizza is awesome, good selection of beers (including a very nice 0%) and really top customer service.

Visited today. Such a shame this place isn’t serving fish/seafood anymore since it reopened as a pizzeria. The pizzas are ok but nothing special. It feels like Saltys has completely lost its charm. We used to come here every time we were in the IOW but won’t be returning.

Came here a couple of months ago for a birthday meal. Informed them on arrival that I was coeliac to which they said they hand stretch fresh gluten free dough for their pizzas. The pizza was absolutely delicious (very good for a gluten free pizza) but overheard as we were paying the bill that the pizzas are not suitable for coeliacs (all cooked in the same oven) unfortunately this hadn't been flagged to me and left me feeling quite unwell for a few days afterwards. If it weren't for this I would be back as I really enjoyed the pizza! If steps were made to make the pizzas coeliac safe this would be incredible as otherwise there is nothing else on the menu for a coeliac and potentially more education is needed for the waiting staff.

Definitely worth a visit as it's a great new addition to dining in Yarmouth. Simple menu with pizzas and pasta (+ a few other bits). Great fun, just make sure you're happy to escape the sun for a few hours as all dining inside 👍

Absolutely delicious vegan pizza (hard to find), also catered well for a gluten free in our party. Service was excellent.

Pizza is good. No seafood when we went for lunch.

Beautiful pizza, very well made.

All very good. Lovely friendly and efficient service. Great menu. Music too loud for conversation across the table at times.

Fabulous venue. I attended a private party and Steph took great care of us all. Our Girl G was on the decks and the music was truly amazing, her mixing skills were fabulous and she produces some mixes I never would have ever expected. I also need to thank Sophie for being truly awesome behind the bar and as I was a late arrival to the party, she certainly encouraged me to get up to speed and enjoy the evening to the max. A fabulous and very memorable evening and I hope to repeat again soon!

Welcoming, pleasant environment and atmosphere with delicious food served by attentive and friendly staff. The Italian furnishings and decor show that much thought has gone into this wonderful gem . Looking forward to returning to further explore the menu Harold Davies .

I had a great experience at Salty’s Pizzeria. The pizza was very good and tasty, especially the Calabrese and Giardiniera. The flavors were fantastic and the dough was just right. The staff was very helpful and friendly, which made the visit even better. I'd definitely give 5 stars if the pesto was homemade. Nonetheless, I’ll definitely visit again!

Love this place! We ordered Calamari, olives, seafood pasta, tomato salad and gelato for dessert - every mouthful was absolutely delightful. Super friendly staff and great atmosphere. Dogs are welcome too ❤️

Great food and service . Fantastic way to lunch.

Very delicious meal. Well presented. Friendly and attentive staff. Very dog friendly.

Popped in for dinner. Pizza soggy on top and burnt underneath. Cabanara pasta covered in pepper, wasn't eaten (cabanara deducted from Bill), garlic bread seemed to of taken a bath in butter, wasn't eaten. Service was good. Let down by food. Great looking place, great ideas, but poorly executed food.

the food is delicious, although we waited for our starter for over 20 minutes but it was deducted from the bill, that's what I call professionalism. I recommend this place

Had dinner here on 21/05/2024. Food was lovely and the service just as good. Excellent food and drink options. Would highly recommend.

This was our first visit to Salty's in it's new incarnation as pizzeria, pasta and bar. It was excllent and a welcome addition to Yarmouth. It has been taken over by the team from The Hut at Colwell Bay. Completely different from The Hut but the same level of quality and professionalism. We had the calamari, a Diavola pizza and the Arrabiata pasta. Coincidentally we were just back from 10 days in Naples/Ischia/Amalfi. The calamari was better than anything we had there. Proper squid pieces na incredibly light tempura style batter. Outstanding. The pizza could have held it's head high anywhere in Naples and the Arrabiata was delightful with a perfectly restrained amount of sauce. Oh and an excellent green salad. Great work.

2 x One tiny piece of toast, and an egg with smashed Advocado diet coke ,black coffee £27. Next to the Car Ferry, needed to catch ferry but offered cling film to wrap as they dont offer any take awayboxes ..

In a four night stay on the IOW, this was our big night out. Even as we attended early, with kids in tow, it did not dissappoint. Staff were extremely gracious with us, the mussels were probably the best I have EVER had, and every plate was eagerly licked clean. Sadly, we could not stay for the live music, but will be back for the whole shebang if we ever get the chance. Wonderful.

Love this place, drive from the other side of the island regularly just to go there.

Please don't book this restaurant unless you've been there before and know it I'm a visitor to the island so booked a table, and seeing the day before just hiw loud and raucous it is, I tried to cancel my reservation for tonight Guess what, they are still charging me for tha table but no doubt also reselling the table. Avoid them if you're a visitor to the island

Brilliant bar with great fun atmosphere. Local ale on tap, served perfectly, with great service and humour. Food was the best we've had in Yarmouth. The George could learn a thing or two from these talented amazing young people. Incredible personable service, with live music at times.

Stopped in with my wife and little girl. We all had haddock and chips, which we really enjoyed. Lightly batted and very tasty. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was lovely.

We visited for a lunch in the beautiful upstairs dining room. The staff were very friendly and polite and their attention to detail was fantastic. We had the fish of the day which was monkfish, a very generous portion cooked on the bone. It was a beautiful piece of fish cooked to perfection and served with broccoli and buttered potatoes. Our starters were superb and the whitebait was crispy and delicious as was a beautifully crafted crab salad with charred grapefruit. The crowning glory was the dessert of jelly with cucumber sorbet, just the most perfect dessert which felt like eating a Pimms. One of the cleverest desserts I’ve seen in a long time. My dessert was the chocolate and banana dessert, it was rich and indulgent and sates that sweet hit at the end of a meal. If visiting Yarmouth do not pass up a chance to eat here. Incredible food and amazing hospitality from the staff!

'only' had breakfast, but the smoked haddock and poached egg was great!

Salty's is a cosy bar, with chill vibes and quite intimate. Guaranteed, as it is based in Yarmouth, the pricing can be expected to reflect the affluent frequent flyers and yacht owners. Handful of skinny fries £4.00 Pint of diet coke £4.00 Not worth it.

Wonderful food and service, highly recommend!

Live music downstairs. Good food upstairs. Highly recommended.

I had an amazing time on Thursday enjoying some outstanding live music, accompanied by a selection of good whiskey and cigars. The ambiance was perfect for unwinding and immersing myself in the delightful melodies. The combination of soulful tunes, fine spirits, and quality cigars made for a truly memorable evening that I can't wait to experience again.

Fabulous time at Saltys, 26 raucous woman and we were looked after impeccably!! Fabulous food and service, thankyou for everything you did for us.

We spent the evening here on Saturday 22/7/23 whilst on our honeymoon 💕. Amazing seafood restaurant the ambience in the restaurant is lovely. The food was outstanding and service was very friendly, we then went down and burnt off our meal singing and dancing to the live music in the bar, amazing atmosphere! The taxi service is absolutely fantastic! If you book a table for food Brad will collect you and drop you back afterwards! Overall outstanding and we will definitely be back when we are next over. Thank you all for making our evening exceptional xx

Excellent food, and great atmosphere during peak season.

Food was great. Wife got the fish and chips and I got a crab spaghetti. Both amazing. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Would recommend

Visited for lunch - all the food was fab. My favourite dish was crab with pickled fennel and grapefruit. Wine was nicely paired too! Very clean and the service was ace

Went for drinks & to listen to the live music by trio called Mostly Jones. Nice atmosphere, great music, good evenings entertainment. Staff friendly.

Had fab moules here today and a bottle of wine lovely staff and lovely little place worth a visit and dog friendly

Excellent food service and Wine. Perfect hosts

Salty's is an absolute gem of a seafood focussed restaurant. Both the exterior and interior were high end, with an excellent menu and wine options. The food was extremely well cooked and presented, and tasted so fresh it could have jumped straight out of the nearby Solent onto the plate. So why not a full 5 stars....the only alcohol free beer option was San Miguel, now for those who've tried it I know you won't be drinking it again! The bread sharing starter oddly, didn't turn up with any side plates and really needed oil and balsamic to dip into, especially if focaccia is in the mix! Would I visit again, absolutely! Would like to see a few more options on the alcohol free side and maybe some more chilled music as it was erm rather eclectic given the quality of the food on the plate. Great job guys, can't wait to return!

All though I found some of the dishes quite inventive, I also found the plates lacking from what is fresh fish. Previous to going to the restaurant I visited my local fish monger in Freshwater where the was some beautiful Bass, Bream, scallops, and fresh mussels all locally caught. I do not understand why none of this is on their menu?? I actually would not mind if they bought in Atlantic tiger prawns which are frozen at sea to use as a dish or to dress up their plates as I understand not all fish is caught locally but there was none on there menu. I found there menu to be overrated as a sea food bar/restaurant as in this concept it falls well short. We paid £130.00 for two people so we tried hard to find a substantial plate and for me the only plate that really stood out was risotto. We won’t be rushing back nor recommending Salties which is a real shame.

Great food, live music, attentive service

Dropped in on the off-chance on Coronation Sunday evening & managed to get served! Food was amazing & cooked to perfection Service was brilliant & the place itself is brimming with history; having been a carriage garage for 'the george' then a sail store, then a wet fish shop & now (after a fire in 2020) the 2 storey, friendly resturant it is today (didn't ask about the grafitti on the cieling, but there's sure to be a good reason for it!)

The restaurant was very empty, so we were served quite quickly. Our food was okay, but I do not feel it was value for money.

Everything was delicious and wonderful service. Both our meals were so well cooked and tasted fantastic, the veggies were beautiful, the drinks timely and tasty. Many thanks!

We went for lunch on mother's Day, the food was amazing, in particular the mussels ! It is expensive but the produce are very nice.

So good, local gem. Great service and food.

Lovely cocktails and staff. Food was lovely.

Manager turned on us and was a complete nightmare. Having spent close to £1000 on our Christmas dinner she ruined the entire day. Hostile, aggressive, offensive and rude. Will never go back

Really disappointed have eaten here before. Phoned up to book a table and a £20 per head deposit was required gave them my card details twice they couldn't get the machine to work as it didn't recognise the card ? ( use it all day everyday no problems) because of this they were unable to book a table :-(

Pleasant experience.x5 diners- X5 empty plates on leaving.👍

Good ambience. Lovely food. Attentive service.

Good place for drinks on a Saturday evening with your boat crew. Small but lively!

Great food and a friendly team with live music makes a winning combination. The restaurant upstairs is lovely, well decorated, comfortable and relaxed. The bar downstairs is fun and booming at the weekends with a real party atmosphere, and even dancing on tables! It’s quite ‘wild’ for Yarmouth and is highly recommended for a good night out.

This is a marvelous restaurant with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. We ate here twice during a week's holiday and the food and wine were excellent.

Not only did they have not arrepevito as cocktails advertise, fine dine as advertised is a joke. And the new mum and daughter duo know about as much about service as the wine list, which I have to say is the worst on the island. Avoid at all costs

Outstanding. Service lovely. Surroundings really tip top. And such a fresh colour scheme and vibe. Much larger than you first imagine when you realise they have upstairs too. But what really makes this place 100% FIVE STARS is the quality of cooking. Aged beef Carpaccio to start. A hint of truffle, but not too strong. I don't really care for truffle, but this was so subtle it was lovely. A hefty portion of 'catch of the day' skate wing pan fried and roasted to perfection, delicious. Bakewell tart, with cherries and kirsch sorbet. Well I elected to change the sorbet for ice cream, not a hint of an issue for them by the way, and this dessert, with its cherries soaked in kirsch sprinkled and drizzled around the soft almost gungy cake, was one of the best desserts I have had the pleasure to consume this past decade. Outstanding. The same word with which I began!

Went to Sally's lat night and had an amazing evening. The live music was incredible and the atmosphere was wonderful.

Good bar and beet, friendly staff, great music

Friendly staff, delicious fresh fish

Drinks are fine, but honestly the live music is very hit and miss. If you don't like the amateur guitar dood, your kinda stuck..

Destination food & drink, lovely, friendly & welcoming...Tonight we visited the downstairs bar and enjoyed a selection of small plates. Special mention to squid ink crackers with taramasalata, anchovy fritters, lomo pork and haddock carpaccio...oh, and the seasoned fries! Also visited upstairs in the past few months, lovely dinners and fun in the Live Music Lounge

The restaurant has been redecorated with new owners which looks lovely. The service from the staff was excellent. However the food and cocktails were not 5 star and could do with some improvement. Food was overall was too salty and quite expensive, charging similar to other restaurants in the area that produce better dishes. Cocktails were mediocre. I probably wouldn't revisit in all honesty as it's not as expected. I think for us the food and cocktails let us down. The dishes in its previous life were much better and had the wow factor. I felt 3 star was too low and 4 to high. Hopefully you take the feedback inboard and make some changes. The staff however were excellent and a nice touch with the live music upstairs.

Small, quirky, quite expensive (as is everywhere in Yarmouth !) but a great little place. Staff always friendly & helpful 👍 It's worth going just to see the pint glasses that fill from a hole in the base of the glass.. really.

Found saltys when I searched for a fish and chips restaurant in Yarmouth last saturday whilst visiting the isle of wight for the day, when we arrived there the man behind the bar told us that they don't serve food till evening time which was absolutely gutting as we were starving and drove miles to get there. They had some snacks available but they just didn't cut it. Would be a good idea to change their Google listing to let people know they don't offer fish and chips in the day. We drive to Ryde in the end as was unable to find food in Yarmouth, which was bizarre at 2pm on a saturday. Looked like a lovely place though, and manner spoke to was very helpful and pleasant.

Wow wow wow!!! This restaurant is amazing. We really enjoyed our wonderful meal and the staff are so polite, knowledgeable and friendly. This is our first visit and will certainly not be our last. Please try, you will not be disappointed.

Great restaurant. Food is delicious and the waitress are really lovely. Highly recommended! Also, the decoration is stunning. A plus: They also have live music

Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely seafood restaurant with wide variety of meals.

Lovely atmosphere and the staff are just brilliant, funny and know what they're doing. Perfect place for a meal or a drink

the food here is amazing, the service is amazing, the waiters are so nice, just everything about this place is amazing!!!!

Good food, but we waited 20 minutes for our pudding only to be told that the pudding had been given to another party. We then had to pay and leave. Decent but wouldn’t get pudding again

I am very sorry Salty's! BUT, you can charge me £6 for a local beer all day long, but don't dare sit me on a rickety wooden bench and serve me at a wobbly table, likewise I'm happy to pay £14 for small fish & chips but at least serve it on a proper functional plate (and not some composite board where the chips fall off) make sure it's really fresh (mine was a bit 'tired') and above all make sure the batter is not too thick and soggy (mine was). The menu looked interesting and certainly the oysters looked good dressed with seaweed but at £18 for 6... I think you're having a laugh this is not a swish place in the South of France. Sort the furniture out, paint over the ugly graffiti ceiling and if you really have to play thrashy music, install some decent speakers. So, expensive, fish & chips were very disappointing, irritating furniture & music choice ruined the ambience. Try harder please!

Fantastic place and superb food

been going here for years and it never disappoints, prefer eating upstairs when available- seasonal. Out of season the lower bar can be hectic but the atmosphere is amazing. Great value and seriously good food from Steaks to Seafood.

We visited Saltys on a wet October evening and weren’t disappointed. Excellent meal, good atmosphere with friendly & professional staff. The garlic tiger prawns were incredible as was the gentleman’s cod. Chilli ribs also delicious and we had two great salads as well. Will visit again next time we are on the Island.

Excellent food and a great atmosphere!

Great food and a nice atmosphere, the food and service could have been quicker hence 4*

Great atmosphere, and superb seafood. What more could you want. I had octopus which was on the specials board and it was up there with one of the best seafood dishes iv ever had. My only slight gripe is that the tables are quite close together, not leaving much space to move around.

Probably the best restaurants I've everest been to food is outstanding and you sit down stairs the night life gets crazy and everyone is mental. They are dancing on tables and everything. Loved it brilliant night out !

Go in season, when there's live music, and enjoy! There's standing room only ...on the tables and chairs! And you can still get served pretty quickly too.

Went to Yarmouth and looked for a somewhere to get a fish lunch. Found Salty's and they fitted us in at 3pm. We ordered half crab and white bait to share with a couple of half's of Boombar. The meal was great.The atmosphere is excellent with diners and people dropping in for a pint. The service was good with a friendly approach. We were told there would be a bit of a wait, but it was not too long, it was busy.I suggest booking, especially for the evening it is very popular. Check the time when food is served at lunch as some following us were disappointed.It is located very near the ferry terminal, as we left a ferry arrived and a load of foot passengers headed straight to Salty's and it was packed again.Well worth a visit.

Please do be aware that on Saturday evenings the bar below has insanely loud live music, competing with the also loud music in the restaurant. Customers standing on the tables in the bar downstairs regularly banging on the ceiling (our floor). Staff feel that it is all part of the atmosphere, but that certainly wasn't our view. Eating food whilst your chest is vibrating to the music downstairs is unpleasant and having two different sets of music makes for cacophony not atmosphere. Positives are that the food is very good, with generous portions, but we couldn't leave soon enough. We certainly wouldn't go again on any day, but certainly avoid Saturdays unless you enjoy that sort of thing.

Having eaten here before, and checked their website which stated they’re open all day, turned up at 1430 to get something to eat in the restaurant upstairs to be told lunch was “finished”. Might be worth stating this on their website.

A trip to Yarmouth is not complete without a visit to Salty’s! The food is great, not the cheapest in town but you get what you pay for, the cod and chips in particular is amazing. Come 8.00pm on a Saturday night and the music man gets the party started with classic sing along songs and dancing on the tables!

Visited here recently with family for Sunday lunch. We all had fish and chips which were excellent, possibly the best I have ever had out, but the service was very slow and I hate to think what it is like at the height of the summer when this place is absolutely heaving.

Thanks Graham for a wonderful welcome and meal. It really is a fun start to a vist, I recommend here without a showdow of a doubt...Sadly for you, we wll be back!

We have been in Salty's a few times on previous trips. We went in on the Saturday night to the downstairs part. (never eaten in the more formal upstairs). Great for fish and chips and other fish dishes, great atmosphere, very lively. The singer wasn't exactly our cup of tea, but he gets better the more you drink!

We had traveled from Lymington especially as have come before but what a disappointment. The fish and chips were very good but below average service and a disappointment.
