    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.

    I am disappointed after being a patron for over 20 years. I’ve been at this restaurant for every thanksgiving except during and after covid. I travel 2-3 weeks per month until May when I retired and wanted to have a great retirement celebration after 41 years of employment. I was not offered at least a celebration experience because Salty’s has become pompous and cater to tourist vs local people who have helped the establishment to stay in business. I told a manager when I confirmed this was an important dinner. I didn’t even get a celebratory cocktail or even an acknowledgment of that they respected my decision to be there. I don’t recommend this place unless they have the professional etiquette to do so. The food wasn’t that great and not indicative of what I’ve experienced in the past. Poor management!

    Amanda was an excellent server. She was attentive and engaging. I truly appreciate the thought and effort for my husband's birthday. It was a little loud. The windows table was lovely but the sun was slightly overwhelming

    Went to brunch buffet for my birthday while in town. Wonderful food! While they have made to order omelets and eggs Benedict- we were disappointed there weren’t just plain scrambled eggs. If you are looking to eat the seafood, there was an excellent display of shrimp, oysters and crab legs. Roast beef was nicely flavored. Plenty of salads and sides offered. The dessert table was just gorgeous and everything you would dream of eating! Our server was Chrissy and she was simply marvelous! Don’t shy away due to price - absolutely worth it and you will leave stuffed! As far as time we went was a 9:00 am reservation (required) and it was busy right at opening.

    Absolutely amazing! We are visiting from Phoenix and came here for our anniversary dinner. We got there 30 minutes early and they seated us right away. The host David was so friendly. Arriving at our table that had rose petals and a signed card , we were so impressed that they recognized our anniversary. It made us feel so special. Our server was Kean, he was great. He was very knowledgeable about the menu. He seemed very genuine and helpful. He made the experience even better. Everyone was so kind. Acknowledging us when we got there and left. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    We celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday dinner here and it was an amazing experience. Ken was our attendant and his customer service and patience was beyond amazing. The food was delicious and the view from our table was stunning. Salty’s was the absolute best choice for my daughter’s birthday celebration and we can’t wait to go back again. Thank you for all of the extra extra human touches that made our evening so special. Dr. Talitha Batts
