Visited on 21 March 2015 (Sat) during Restaurant Week Dinner.

Helmed by celebrity chef Luke Mangan, Salt grill & Sky bar is a stylish urban restaurant and bar offering Luke’s special style of contemporary Australian cuisine. 

Directions: Take the escalator up to Level 4, walk to the concierge of ION Art and you'll see Salt Grill Reception at the end of the counter. Inform the staff of your reservation and they will direct you to their delicated lift up to Level 55 of their exclusive dining restaurant! 












Entrance of Salt Grill!




This is the main dining hall on level 55 with an open concept kitchen!






Walk on this red carpet to level 56!



And here is where we seated at the center table!


Diners can indulge in pre or post-dinner drinks here on level 56 or you can hold a private event at this floor!









We were served with warm nice bread...



Sydney crab omelette, enoki mushroom & 
herb salad, miso mustard broth
Salt Grill has proved to us that a simple omelette can also be so tasty with their fresh crabmeat inside! The omelette complemented very well with their superb miso mustard broth too! The crab omelette is really melt-in-the-mouth..... But there was too much herb salad that looked messy and ruined the taste of the yummy broth.. I think it would be perfect if the herb salad were sat only onto the omelette and leave the side with just the broth for diners to savour easily...




Barramundi, petit pois, a la francaise (with bacon) 
As most people don't understand petit pois in french is actually small green peas, so I think most people were shocked to see so many small green peas.. The barramundi was fresh, quite tender and with great flavor but I was really turned off by the countless green peas and only consume the fish and the small bacon..



Grilled Tara valley tenderloin, braised fennel, parsley puree bordelaise sauce
The beef was cooked to perfection and complemented well with the sauce..




Mocha brulee, white chocolate ice-cream, coffee meringue, oreo crumbs
It's rare to see mocha brulee and this certainly excite my taste bud with aromatic mocha taste! It goes so well with the white chocolate ice-cream, coffee meringue and oreo crumbs!





Yuzu panna cotta, mandarin segments, ginger beer sorbet
Another unique dessert - very refreshing!





The view from our table! It's a little far though as it's not window seat..



This is their sky bar for some drinks and tapas from 11am to 11.30pm!




A great place to chill!





I like their lift with the light!



Overall Impression: Food quality for the main course was good except the sides. But I must say the food quality has dropped a little compared to my visit in 2014.

As they have 2 seatings, so we felt they seemed to be very rush throughout the whole dinner, every dish served one after another almost immediately - They served the bread, our 3 course with coffee everything within an hour, this make us feel we finished dinner early and can return the table to them earlier. Probably this only happened during restaurant week period.. Despite this, the whole ambience was really romantic and great with charming bird's-eye view! 

*Recommended*





You can also enjoy the Afternoon Tea platter at $30++ per person including coffee or tea from 2:30 pm- 5:00 pm daily.
