    Reserved Salty’s for 7:00 pm on a Monday. Showed up 1 hour early. No problem!! Had a great table with view of Seattle for dinner. Thank you Salty’s. Nash was our server. Outstanding young man and timely with everything. We had Calimari to start. Unfortunately it was kind of chewy and not the best we have had. Being from Dallas, we expected better for the appetizer. We decided to split the Bolognese Shrimp Fettuccini. Much better than the Calimari! Nash comped us their signature cake for desert and it was awesome. So not the best food we had in Seattle but certainly not bad either. Would we go again? Unfortunately, we would say no.

    I’m calamari was cold and soggy. Very disappointing. The grilled salmon was over-cooked. The waiter said they cook it medium rare and asked if that was okay. Of course we said yes, but it came very well done. Cooked dry, almost like cardboard. Then sauced was mediocre at best. We should have sent it back but we didn’t finish it.

    As far as food goes the cost most definitely didn't not balance out the quality. The service and staff were very good. However the food was mediocre. General items are the same you would get at a continental breakfast at a holiday inn. The salmon was bland and the citrus dressing is more for a white fish. The prime rib was more than likely a chuck roast due to the characteristics of the fat. The potatoes were the same as a McDonald's hash browns. Eggs Benedict were overly salty and the hollendaise was very bitter from too much lemon. The oysters were fresh shucked and very good. The tables were very cramped. Trying to get every space thry could. I do no appreciate having to move and stand aside for the table next to me to go get the next plate of food. Personally for the price, just two of us was over $250 I would not return.

    First time there, heard a lot about it, I love great food. Hoping to taste something spectacular, got good food, not spectacular, more on the lines of any other decent restaurant. So, you are paying for the view/location.
