    Great views and food top notch. Drinks very reasonable. Views are great depending where your table is located. Always a good option for fish.

    This was our first time at Salty’s and we were not disappointed. We had oysters, the crab cake, and the Copper River salmon special and they all amazing. TC our waiter was extremely helpful is selecting our meals with my wife’s dairy allergy. The only minor complaint I had was that I ordered an old-fashioned as a cocktail, and they served it with crushed ice. As a bit of a purist, I would’ve preferred a single cube or ball ice. However, this is down in the weeds.  Overall, everything was great and we would definitely recommend and we will be back.

    The best hospitality I’ve experienced in a very long time. Food was delish in every way. They made it special for our anniversary. A bit pricey but competitive. Absolutely worth trying again.

    Soooooo incredibly expensive for just so-so food! Beautiful views though! Drinks weren’t good at all…they were weak and too sweet.

    Everything was great, but the only thing that I noticed was that the friend I was with did not get all of her leftovers.

    Great view of the skyline and was fun to watch the harbor and wildlife (we saw seals!). We thought service was lacking a bit—took awhile to be greeted, get orders, waitress was not super attentive. Apps came out lukewarm and the asparagus with entrees was barely cooked. Ordered the copper river salmon to be cooked medium rare, but it came out well done.
