A Touch of Salt

Noise level inside made conversation difficult, dampening our groups mood, helpful staff moving us to an outside table solved this. Our guests from the Perth restaraunt scene felt it eas overall "nearly" as good as eny of theirs.

A Touch of Salt never disappoints. My main problem is always trying to narrow down what I want from the menu, because it is consistently diverse and everything sounds tempting. Service was always professional and attentive, without feeling intrusive in anyway. Easily my favourite restaurant in Townsville.

Outstanding service and food. Great ambience and wine selection too.

Mark and the staff are always lovely and accommodating. We found this visit very loud being a table of two the doors were closed for a function which may of increased the noise level, we were seated near kids and IPADS, this is no reflection on the restaurant. The menu was new so the staff found it difficult to make recommendations but our found was great as was the wine and whisky sour.

Excellent service and cuisine. We loved it and look forward to going back.

The food was fantastic and the serving staff were polite and diligent. The kitchen took a very long time to prepare entrees and a longer again wait for mains. When the food arrived it was beautiful and well worth the wait but we ordered shortly after arriving and waited 45mins for an entree. We will be back because the food is fantastic but the timing this time was quite off and left us waiting longer than you would expect in a high quality restaurant.

Sensational scallops for entre , I could have eaten a dozen of them . Great service from our waiter , not in your face , but there whenever you needed him .

Most enjoyable evening, excellent service and food. I recommend this restaurant.

Always a thoroughly enjoyable evening with great food, great wine and great service.

Glad to have a fine dining restaurant in Townsville

The atmosphere was pleasant, service made us feel safe and welcome. The food was absolutely flawless and quality of food was priced well. Would 100% recommend and go again.

Excellent service. Food was perfect. Atmosphere was amazing. Just a bit expensive. Would go back.

All waitstaff were very accomodating and friendly. A beautiful place to dine.

Service was excellent - attentive without being overwhelming.
Very good menu - sufficient variety to suit all tastes.
The meals were great but not very hot when they arrived, which was disappointing.

Always the best service you will get in town.
And it comes with great food!
Thank you.

Outstanding as always. Best place to eat if you’re celiac. They have a great understanding of dietary requirements and the food still tastes amazing!! Highly recommend people to look at the vegetation menu. I’m not vegetarian but I personally believe the menu options are outstanding and on par if not better than the regular menu items.

Food was fantastic, great choices. Service was friendly, the cocktails were magnificent. Can’t wait to go back.

Your chef de partie Emma is amazing!!!

Food as always was amazing. The staff at a Touch of Salt are always available, very aware of the ingredients in the meals and they have great taste in their food recommendations. This was our fourth time to Touch of Salt and we were impressed as usual. The squid was amazing and highly recommended. I could have eaten that as a main. Thank you.

Delicious food and ambiance. Service good. Awesome wine list and drink selection.

We sat outside, as the noise levels indoor make conversation a bit difficult at times. The service was outstanding by James and made the night relaxed and memorable. The food was devine and portion sizes just right. So many difficult flavours in the food and but mixed so well and tasted delicious.

All the staff are friendly and enthusiastic, our waitress was awesome.
We were wowed by the food and service and I can highly recommended A Touch of Salt for a fantastic dining experience.

Amazing food and service.

Our international visitors were impressed.

Thank you

This was our first visit to Touch if Salt. I was extremely excited to have a whole vegetarian/vegan menu to choose from. Unfortunately the quality of the food just didn’t match everything else about the restaurant.
It’s in a great location. The service is too notch as is the decor.
We chose two entrees to share. The cheesy scrolls were delicious but the sweet corn fritter had absolutely no flavour, aside from the chilli sauce that was on top. It was a disappointment.
For the main I chose the Roti which was unfortunately not edible. It had absolutely no flavour was extremely glittery and oily, and the mango and cucumber on top just plain bland. My partner chose the pork belly, which unfortunately had absolutely no crispness, and the meat was just lost in an over abundance of sauce. Our daughter had the heritage chicken and really enjoyed it.
Unfortunately for us this visit was underwhelming and expensive.
Whilst I cannot fault the service at all, the food just fell well short of our expectations.
We will give this place one more try in the hopes it was just a one off.

This is the best restaurant in Townsville.

Loved the Yakatori Pork entree and Duck Wellington on the Autumn 2019 menu. Looking forward to next visit for the winter fare.

First time customers, the place was beautiful, the service was exceptional, the food was outstanding (scallops and garfish, my favourite). Very happy!

We had a lovely night, great service, yummy food and fabulous company

Excellent from the greeting at the door to all the staff! Not one of the staff but all of them were very professional, food was amazing, one dish was not what we expected but that was fine as so many other dishes to chose from! Thanks for a great first time experience & we will b back

The food is always fantastic and so is the service.

Wonderful experience every time. The food is amazing and the service is prompt. Vegetarian options are great. We will continue to go back.

Always amazing! Thank you to Mark Brine that made sure my Mother daughter dinner was a delight. Really appreciate it

My husband and I were very impressed with the quality of the food and service as were family visiting from New Zealand who love fine dining and do so frequently. We could not afford to dine on a regular bases but would dine here again for a special celebration and recommend it to others.

Touch of Salt never fails to deliver. Perfect everytime. The service is second to none, have not been there since February and our lovely waitress remembered which wine we drank. It is those small things that separates A Touch of Salt to the rest.

Choose to go early 6pm beat the rush, Great food and service really nice experience good views of river.

Consistently excellent, the best restaurant in Townsville. Exceptional menu, with numerous gluten-free options. Reasonably-priced.

Food was amazing, service was excellent for both food and drink.

It was a wonderful evening. Beautiful food, great food and faultless service from the staff.

Food and value we couldn’t fault. Only thing that spoiled it for us was the light rain that started halfway through our main meals. Means we had to rush a bit at the end. An awning of some kind would have been perfect. Even an umbrella would have would have great.

The food was excellent it was a very relaxing night. This restaurant is a little more sophisticated than most restaurants and clearly they work hard at it. I had the Mignon Steak which was superb. The food here is hard to fault.
