The Salthouse Eaterie

Just finished a late lunch. I believe Maddie was the pleasant staff who took us in and was of most excellent service. We had the special of the day the seafood sharer and was impressed by how nicely the skate was done with the bisque. The decor was a bit eccentric but had its own way. Definitely a repeat in the future

Amazing food and the most polite and helpful waiting staff I've encountered for a long time. Really couldn't fault the quality or standards there. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars not 5 is due to how noisy it was. The design of the restaurant (which aesthetically is stunning) incorporates high ceilings and open brick-work. Therefore when busy you cannot hear yourself think and genuinely struggle to have a conversation across the table. I appreciate this is structural and very little can be done but never the less it did take away from the overall experience which was a shame. Would have definitely given 5/5 otherwise.

We had a wonderful evening at the Salthouse with an Early Bird set menu. It was a well presented meal with enough to make you satisfied but not over full to bursting. We chose the same for each course, the duck liver parfait was lovely , the main was a bacon loin with vegetables and a duo of cheese to finish. We also chose a carafe of wine from their specials board as a treat. I thought the bacon loin although very good was salty but fortunately the accompanying potato dish managed to subdue the saltiness. The cheese duo was a perfect size and there were plenty of biscuits. The food was very good, the service excellent and more importantly we were not hurried. As it was my husbands birthday he was given a birthday chocolate ganache dessert which looked amazing. I would have no hesitation is recommending the Salthouse for Service, Atmosphere and most importantly, for very good food, expertly cooked and stylishly presented food. Their chefs do them proud

Beautiful local food and impeccable service. Been wanting to eat here for a while but due to its higher prices we decided to go with a voucher we received. However I can see why the price on the more expensive end of Ipswich's eateries, everything on the plate went well, nothing was unflavoured or missing and it was a real treat to savour.

Staff were professional, friendly and genuine. We needed to amend the booking time due to traffic, which they were happy to do and didn't seem an issue for the restaurant. I had the cod with a salad which was really tasty and fresh/light. There were a few large parties in the restaurant the same time as us, however the service was still good and we weren't waiting. Definitely recommend this restaurant and the cod dish.
