    Absolutely magnificent restaurant to enjoy a special occasion, an evening meal, very special place for friends and family to meet. Meals are just so stunning, scrumptious, out of this world, lost for words, the flavours are just something different. Been coming for years for our wedding anniversary, never faulted. The owners are wonderful people and treat you like you are family, they look after their patrons exceptionally well, wait staff, waiters, kitchen staff are the best you could possibly hope for, service is magnificent. Thank you to A touch of Salt, you are the best, a big winner in my eyes and many more as well.....

    I highly recommend Restaurant Elsie. We are Townsville locals who holiday on Magnetic Island regularly and always book in for dinner during our stay. The window seat facing the Eslpanade is perfect for a couple on a date night or celebrating a special occasion. Food is delicious, great wine and service.

    Excellent food with numerous options and good value; excellent service from all the staff and a very friendly atmosphere. I had previously joined the Molly Malone's Loyalty Club and I use it all the time when purchasing food or drinks, however I'm not sure how it actually is of any real value or how points can be redeemed when making purchases, I would really like to know as I couldn't get a definitive answer from any staff.
