New Wine Bar and Event Space “Salt at the Elliot” has been officially opened, adding a clean and modern coastal vibe to Port Elliot’s popular main strip, The Strand.
A classy addition to Hotel Elliot, which sits just 350 metres from beautiful Horseshoe Bay, and 650 metres from whale watching spot, Freeman Lookout, Salt at the Elliot is a newly built venue offering an elevated experience, with a menu of delectable food, cocktails, wine and lounge settings with cosy fireplaces, perfect for winter.
Open 7 days a week, Salt is perfect for a casual lunch, an afternoon bottle of red with friends, a celebration or date-night dinner with a group or a quiet night cap late into the evening.
The new venue also boasts a purpose-built event space, available for larger dining groups or for private hire. A versatile space which seats up to 120 guests, Venue Manager, Ryan Smith, said Salt’s event space lends itself perfectly to wedding receptions, corporate functions and celebrations.
“It’s a grand and beautiful space that we are very proud of, and we look forward to working with clients to create a space perfect for their event,” he said.
As well as experienced chefs, Kane Ali and Paul Cox, the new functions kitchen employs a number of hospitality apprentices, with plans in the pipeline to offer on-site training in front and back of house settings.
Although it has been open for business since late 2022, Salt at the Elliot has now officially launched the venue, and the start of the next chapter for Hotel Elliot, The Strand and the Port Elliot community.
“We were so privileged to be joined by Hon. Steven Marshall, Hon. David Basham, Alexandrina Mayor Keith Parkes and many, many other very special guests at the official opening,” Ryan said.
“In the coming weeks you will see us further expand the menu and food offerings in the Wine Bar, running some special events and dinners for both locals and visitors alike, and continuing to develop the space. There are a lot more announcement’s to come.
“In the meantime, we see the Wine Bar as the perfect spot for small local businesses to meet with clients over a drink or light lunch, or working-from-home locals to have a space to get out with their laptops to rejuvenate their creative flow.
“Our event space is a hub for businesses requiring a space for conferences, seminars or to host clients for a delicious meal and fantastic service to show off the incredible Fleurieu coast”
