    This was our first time dining at Salty’s ! The entire experience was great. For special occasions, they seated us at the tables by the window and even put happy birthday decor on the table. The view was beautiful. Our waitress was amazing. Great customer service, making us feel welcomed and started off with recommendations which I highly appreciate. Two of the restaurant managers (I assume) went to each table to say hi and ensure you were enjoying the experience. For the food - We chose the Alki trio to start with. The calamari was a bit chewy but the shrimp and crab cake was so good! I ordered the New York steak and while its presentation was very nice, I personally felt like it needed more flavor. My husband ordered the sockeye salmon with gochujang sauce which he enjoyed. The complimentary dessert was a white chocolate mousse cake- big portion, delicious and light. Thank you for this experience, we will be back.

    Overall good meal. We were disappointed as they were promoting Copper River Salmon but were sold out at our 7 PM reservation time. We still had a good meal as always.

    We had an excellent experience during Happy Hour. All of the four food items we had were excellent. We particularly enjoyed the wagyu sliders. The Washington cider (as bubbly as a sparkling wine) and ale were also outstanding.
