Saltbush

Love coming here, the food is nice and doesn't take long. The service is good, but they are busy most times we've visited.

Breakfast menu is extremely average. Very disappointed in the Eggs Benedict, "the chef's" use pre-made hollandaise sauce and the eggs were over cooked. Would have been nice if the bread was sourdough instead of store bought English muffins. Barista made coffee is pretty average too. Won't be coming back.

Food wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Everthing was lacking in seasoning. Scallops were over cooked and cauliflower puree needed to be passed throught a chinois, lacked seasoning and butter/cream. One steak was very well done, request was medium. Minted mashed potato was lumpy and again lacking in fats and seasoning. Drinks service was slow, golden rule eat me poor drink me rich. Atmosphere was great and staff were pleasant with a bit of polish I'm sure they could offer a great experiance.

I had dinner at Saltbush with a friend on her last night in Alice Springs, she ordered the beef cheeks and I ordered the scotch fillet. I'd asked for medium rare but it came out medium. Not wanting to make my friend wait I figured I'd just eat it as it was, even though it wasn't great. A lovely waitress asked how the food was and I told her about the steak. She whisked it away and within a few minutes had brought back a new steak. Perfectly medium rare and absolutely delicious. A big call out to the waitress and her excellent attitude and service and the food was delicious. Have to say I'll be going back again. Recommended.

food is high quality and service is good....prices are reasonable
