    Expensive, extremely crowded with poor flow for buffet diners. Food mediocre. Very noisy. I recommend avoiding Salty’s buffet brunch.

    What an absolute perfect experience! From the moment we walked through the door, we were made to feel comfortable and welcome. The staff was gracious and friendly, providing white-linen service without it ever feeling stuffy. We did the Sunday buffet brunch and every station was impeccable. I have no idea how they prepared foods in that quantity while maintaining that level of quality and taste. It reminded us of the sort of fine dining experience you have in San Francisco. It was our first trip, but we're already making plans to come back.

    It’s a go to place for the views of the city. But the food wasn’t that good. My $60 king salmon dish was overcooked and they used canned artichokes. Meh. Server was fantastic.

    I made a reservation at Salty’s to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and they truly went above and beyond to make it special! From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtful and festive, even the birthday card and confetti on the table were perfect touches. A huge thank you to our server, Chrissy, she was absolutely amazing! Her energy was fantastic, and she made sure my boyfriend felt like the star. She also gave us some great food recommendations, and wow, was the food incredible. The Bloody Marys were great, and the oysters were some of the best we’ve ever had. To top it all off, the view was stunning. Every part of our experience was a solid 10/10. We’re already looking forward to coming back with the whole family!

    Went for the Sunday Brunch for the first time. Atmosphere and stunning view of the Seattle skyline was incredible. The food, and there was a lot - was fresh and constantly refreshed. Choosing between breakfast and an omelet station, traditional breakfast fare, pasta station, prime rib, a seafood cornucopia and a dessert display that rivals a bakery offering provided made it impossible to everything in one sitting (lord knows we tried). Our favorite, hands down was the seafood, felt sorry for the prime rib carver as he watched people pass by straight to the seafood (he seemed lonely lol). Chilled crab legs sections and claws with hot butter, cooked clams, salmon topped with a pineapple tomato salsa, a bed of ice being constantly filled with freshly shucked oysters as you pick em, smoked salmon filets to die for, Salty's clam chowder, did I mention clam chowder? and oyster crackers - who ever offers oyster crackers anymore these days! And the service ... impeccable. Never had so many check ins eating out by our Superman Indonesion waiter Oka (we chatted) that it felt like we were his only table (we weren't). Hot steaming towels throughout the meal, refreshed forks and knives when we came back with another plate, coffee and water top ups without ever having to ask was amazing. Everyone from the minute we were greeted by the hostess, a manager fly by to sell hello were friendly with a warm smile. Well done, well presented and well worth it!
