This is how the plan starts. 🍝

A message, a craving, and somehow you’ve booked a table before anyone’s confirmed they’re free.

Winter does that here.

Swipe through. You’ll recognise the group chat. 🥂

Long weekend. Loud Sunday. Table required. 🎷

On 7 June at 4PM, Mae Parker joins the Bornstein Ultimatum Band at Rocksalt for a session that earns its own chapter.

Mae Parker is one of Australia’s most electrifying live vocalists: raw, commanding, and impossible to look away from once she hits the stage. Add Rob Burke on sax, Johnathon Zion anchoring the groove on bass, and this Sunday does not stay quiet for long.🎶

The kind of afternoon where one drink becomes the session and no one checks the time.🥂

Sip happens. So do seconds. 🍸🍽️

At Rocksalt, the food shows up bold and the drinks keep up. Plates that don’t just look good but actually deliver, and cocktails that carry the vibe from first sip to “okay, one more.” It’s the kind of table where everything works together and nothing stays untouched for long. 🥩❤️

Call your friends, bring the family, and let the table do its thing 🥂

No stars. Just serotonin 🍽️

When the table goes quiet mid-bite, eyes widen, and suddenly everyone’s in a better mood… yeah, that’s the review. 🌟

At Rocksalt, you don’t rate the food, you react to it. Loud, happy, and a little unhinged.

Call it five stars. We call it a good time 🥂

Free entry. Costly decisions. 🎸

Because once the music starts, leaving early feels like a bad call.

The Bornstein Ultimatum brings the kind of sound that fills the room and keeps it there, not just heard, but felt. 🤤🕺

Add good food, flowing drinks, and a table that’s not ready to wrap up, and you’ve got yourself a Sunday that goes a little off-script.

Walk in easy. Stay longer than planned. 🥂

End the month like you mean it 🎶

Guess who’s coming on 31st May? Bornstein Ultimatum Band live at Rocksalt.

No overthinking, no big plans needed. Just show up, grab a drink, and let the music take over from there.

From smooth openings to full-blown energy, this is the kind of session that keeps the room buzzing and the night rolling. 🍝

It’s not just live music. It’s the reason your Sunday doesn’t end early.

Round up your people, book the table, and let May go out properly. 🥂

Seas the moment… and then don’t share it. 🦐

This platter doesn’t arrive quietly, it shows up loaded, loud, and ready to be fought over. Fresh, indulgent, and just the right amount of extra, it’s the kind of table order that turns polite dining into strategic grabbing.

You came for a bite. You stayed for the full tide. 🌊

Dive in. No regrets. 🥂

Tried to be sensible. Rocksalt said no. 🤖🍽️

You walk in thinking you’ll keep it chill, order light, head out early.

Five minutes in, the table’s full, the drinks are doing their thing, and no one’s even pretending to leave. 😏🍗

This place doesn’t do subtle. And honestly, good.

Come with your friends. Come hungry. Stay chaotic 🥂

There’s a moment when it shifts. 🎶

The music picks up, the room leans in, and suddenly it’s not just a chill Sunday anymore.

The Bornstein Ultimatum builds it slow, then takes it somewhere else entirely. 📸🙌

You don’t plan to stay long. You just… do.

See you this Sunday at Rocksalt. 🍷

You came for a chill Sunday. That’s not what you’re getting. 🎷

Did you know that on 24th May at 4PM, Sarah Maclaine joins the Bornstein Ultimatum Band at Rocksalt?

A regular performer on Good Morning Australia and a familiar name across international jazz festivals, Sarah brings a voice that feels timeless, soulful, and impossible to ignore. From major Melbourne music events to AFL Brownlow performances, she’s spent years owning stages across Australia, and now she’s bringing that same energy to Bay Street.

And when Ash Gaudion steps in on sax, the whole room shifts. Smooth one second, electric the next.

The music doesn’t sit quietly in the background. It moves through the room, pulls people in, and suddenly your table is louder, fuller, and way more fun than expected. 🧑‍🍳❤️

Good food. Strong pours. Better music.

Book ahead or risk watching it all happen from the outside. 👀

Happy Birthday to two of our originals 🎉

Chef Razz and Merry have been part of Rocksalt since the very beginning, the kind of people who keep everything moving, every single day. 🍷🧑‍🍳

From the kitchen to the floor, it’s their consistency, energy, and commitment that make Rocksalt what it is.

We appreciate you more than words can say. Here’s to many more years, many more services, and many more moments together 🥂

Comfort food? Say less. 🍝

It started with “let’s keep it light” and somehow turned into a full table, louder laughs, and zero plans of leaving early.

Because at Rocksalt, self-control quietly exits the chat and “just one” never stays that way. 🕺🎁

Good food, better drinks, and Sundays that spiral exactly how they should.
Pull up. Make bad decisions (the good kind). 🥂

Not your “meh, that’ll do” food. 😴

No rushed eggs, no lazy plating, no “just send it out” vibes. The dishes are actually tasted, tweaked, and sent when it’s right. The kind of food where you stop mid-bite and go… okay, fair.🍝

Come hungry. Leave with opinions. 🍽️

Some Sundays behave. This one doesn’t. 🎷

The music kicks off, the room shifts, and suddenly everything feels a little louder, a little looser, a lot more fun.

With The Bornstein Ultimatum running the session, it’s less about sitting back and more about getting pulled into it. 😛

Good food, strong pours, and a band that knows exactly how to move a room.

If you’re doing Sunday, might as well do it properly. 🥂

Some Sundays are slow. This isn’t one of them. 🎶

On 17th May at 4PM, the Bornstein Ultimatum Band returns to Rocksalt with special guest vocalist Kate Del Rio, joined by renowned saxophonist Ash Gaudion, for a live session that builds, lifts, and pulls you right into it.

Known across Victoria’s live music scene for her versatile vocals, cabaret-style energy, and crowd-favourite repertoire, Kate brings a performance style that feels effortless, engaging, and impossible not to get swept up in. And with Ash Gaudion stepping in on sax, expect the room to shift the second the music kicks in.

It starts as a vibe, then becomes the plan.

With live jazz, blues, and everything in between, conversations get louder, drinks keep flowing, and suddenly Sunday feels like the best night of the week. 😁🙌

Add great food, Bay Street energy, and a band that knows exactly how to hold a room, and leaving early quietly disappears from the agenda.

Lock in your table and let the music do the rest. 🍷

The cards are on the table. So are your plans 🔮

This isn’t your usual dinner booking. Psychic Night at Rocksalt brings together a full dining experience with group spiritual sessions and individual psychic readings, all in one evening.

Expect a table set with good food, drinks flowing, and moments that shift from casual conversation to “wait… how did they know that?” real quick. It’s interactive, a little unexpected, and built to be experienced with your people. 👫

If you’re figuring out Mother’s Day plans, 13th May comes with a twist. Bring your mum along for something she definitely won’t see coming.

So why wait? Book your table now 🥂

Some places you try a dish. Here, you build a table around it. 🍽️

You don’t skip the Chilli Scramble, it’s loud in all the right ways. You cannot even ignore the Pancake Stack; soft, stacked, and definitely not for sharing (despite what the table says).

The Breakfast Burrito? That’s the “I’ll just have a bite” that turns into your whole plate.

Then it shifts.

A Chicken Parma that does what it’s supposed to; no drama, just solid. A Seafood Linguini that keeps you leaning back in for “one more fork.” Also. a Truffle Bliss Chicken that sounds indulgent because it is.

By the time drinks show up, an Espresso Martini, maybe an Aperol Spritz, you’re not ordering food anymore, you’re extending the moment.

This isn’t a quick meal. It’s a “we’ll leave after this” that never quite happens. 🥂

Sun’s out. Plans? Cancelled at Rocksalt. ☀️

You said “just a quick bite”.

Now there’s a Breakfast Burrito, a dangerously good Chilli Scramble, and someone at the table insisting the Pancake Stack is “for sharing” (it’s not).

Drinks? 🥤

An Espresso Martini that woke you up emotionally.

An Aperol Spritz doing main character things.

And a Cranberry Mojito pretending hydration is the goal.

Somewhere between “one coffee” and “one more round,” the table fills up, the volume goes up, and leaving becomes a group decision no one agrees on.

It’s breezy, a little messy, and exactly how a summer afternoon should spiral. 🌊

Stay longer. Order again. Regret nothing.🥤

Mum deserves better than “we’ll figure it out” 🌸

This Mother’s Day at Rocksalt, make it a plan, not a maybe. Whether it’s a slow breakfast, a long lunch, or dinner that actually feels like an occasion, we’ve got the table, the food, and the vibe sorted. 🔥

And if Sunday’s already filling up, start early or celebrate a little late. Friday, Saturday, or even after, still counts, still special.

Book the table. Take the credit 🥂

What a night at Rocksalt ✨

Thank you for the amazing turnout for Bornstein Ultimatum with the incredible Mae Parker. The energy, the music, the crowd — everything was unmatched.

See you again next Sunday for another unforgettable night 🍸🎶

07/05/2026

It always starts the same way. 🎸

“Let’s just go for one.”

Then the band kicks in, the table gets louder, and suddenly no one’s talking about leaving anymore. 👌

The Bornstein Ultimatum doesn’t sit in the background. It pulls you in, keeps you there, and turns a casual plan into something you didn’t see coming.

This Sunday, just show up. The rest tends to sort itself out. 🥂

Your Sunday plans just got an upgrade. 🎷

On 10th May at 4PM, Andrea Marr takes the stage at Rocksalt with the Bornstein Ultimatum Band, joined by renowned saxophonist Ashley Gaudion, setting up a live session that starts smooth and doesn’t stay that way for long.

Think laid-back grooves turning into full-table energy, where conversations get louder, glasses refill themselves, and leaving early quietly exits the chat.💬

Known as the pint-sized powerhouse of the blues, Andrea Marr has been lighting up stages since 1997 with her high-energy, soulful sound. With ten albums to her name and a strong presence across Australia’s blues scene, she brings a voice that’s gritty, joyful, and impossible to ignore.

With Ashley Gaudion adding that unmistakable sax presence, and the Bornstein Ultimatum Band keeping everything tight behind them, this isn’t background music; it’s the reason you stay. 🚨👌

If your idea of a Sunday involves good food, better drinks, and music that actually does something to the room, you already know where to be.
Book the table. Stay for the set. Stay longer than planned. 🥂
