We hosted our Christmas party at *Salt and Pier Restaurant* last week, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. The staff were incredibly attentive and provided great service, and all the food was delicious. Everything was well-timed and smoothly handled.

Such a beautiful dinner experience. Being right on the pier by the beach made it feel really special, and the food and service were both excellent. Our waiter was so friendly and welcoming — he’d literally just had a baby that morning and still showed up with the best energy and care. We had a great kōrero and felt genuinely looked after. Highly recommend for the vibe alone 🌊
