what a great birthday celebration I had. our group opted for the $65 set menu. every single item was completely delicious. Staff accommodated the requests for one vegetarian and one gluten-free with no problems at all. we had the two-for-one (ie half price) set menu which left more cash for fantastic cocktails and very reasonably priced good wine. Did I mention the staff? they were great. super quick to top up glasses and take used plates away, without being obtrusive or hovering. and so pleasant and friendly. Would definitely recommend for large or small groups.

What a pleasant surprise. We had the banquet and every item was delicious. My Husbands favourite were the oysters and I loved the duck in betel leaf but it was all very fresh, tasty and different. The staff were very attentive and the food came out quickly but we were asked when ready for each plate. Would definitely return.

The food was tasty but not delicious. Service was friendly but slow. Our dishes sat on our table well after we had finished with them. It wasn’t a staffing issue, just a lack of attentive service.

Didn't know what to expect, but had a great night with friends taking in the $75pp set menu. Have done many set menus around Melbourne and this was one leaving us amazed at the flavours as well as completely stuffed. The pace at which food comes out is underrated but here the staff were ready for us as we went through the courses. Highly recommended as a group venue for dinner if you are keen for asian and a place with some buzz.

Salted Egg is a fantastic Asian inspired place to eat. The menu is not large but it caters for all diners needs. The meals are largish and succulent. Prices are in the $30+ range. The service is also excellent.

Was very confusing as to how to enter the restaurant with no clear signage, directing you through the foyer and up the stairs. My partner was sat at the wrong table to what we had booked and sat there for 25+ minutes trying to order drinks, and ask for food menus. Staff in reception downstairs were rude when I asked where the restaurant was. Went upstairs and no one even greeted me. Then had to go up and ask for someone to please tend to our table and take drinks order and give us tap water for table. Had to ask again for tap water that was only then given half way through our food. No one apologised for poor service and was really loud as very closely sat next to two other tables. Shame as the food was actually really yummy. But will unlikely return or recommend due to the poor service.

Second time at Salted Egg, again ordering from the menu, and not the promo. Did not disappoint. Kingfish ceviche and chicken spare ribs were excellent starters, followed by the Massaman curry beef, snapper and twice cook pork. Loved the tanginess of the Bombe Alaska to round off a very good meal. Service was good, helpful but not intrusive.

Hi Team I love the venue and love the food!! We had the most awesome banquet from Beatles leaf with grapefruit to kingfish -Devine My duck was amazing, our vegetarian guest is coming back with her husband. Masammam curry, pumpkin and pork with vegetables very popular. Everyone was blown away by dessert. You let yourselves down with slow drink service. You could sell much more, increase sales and your tips by being more attentive to clearing g empty drink glasses and offering more drinks. Two or three times we ventured to the bar to try and get more drinks. We also flagged staff down to order drinks. This is one area you need to do some staff training and explain the benefits of upselling. I have been many times now and bring guests and recommend to friends and it is a constant theme to the feedback I hear about my recommendation. of the venue. My feedback is meant with the best of intention for your team to learn and grow and for the venue to flourish. Kin d Regards David

Had dinner there, got the $75per person set menu. Plus and minus - pretty good food overall, highlights were the entree and desserts. Food and service amazing but the place was not very clean eg there were serious crumbs left on the table when we sat down and the glasses were absolutely filthy. The wait staff very quickly fixed it after we complained. Also we ordered a bottle of wine from the wine list year 2018 but they have us a 2020 and didnt say anything. Luckily we noticed it before the bottle was opened.

The portion of the two main courses are really small. Curry only had three small pieces of meat and two pieces potatoes. Pork belly totally 4 pieces thin sliced pork. Don’t think it’s good value for money.

We had the $75 set menu and the food was great however the service was a comedy of errors. We did laugh with the waiter when we asked what the difference was between the $65 and $75 set menu and he replied 'better quality ingredients'. Hmm ok. The other waiter bought the wrong wine over and then proceeded to go away to get a bottle opener... for a screw top. And finally as we sat and waited for a lengthy time for dessert, the same waiter asked if we'd like anything else. Well, yes, maybe the dessert...
