    Went to celebrate my husband’s Birthday. We were pleasantly surprised that we enjoyed the food and service. We haven’t been here since they stopped the brunch on the weekend. The ambiance was still very nice and Cameron (our waiter) provided amazing service. He was extremely friendly and very attentive to our needs. Salty’s didn’t disappoint me with my overall experience.

    We got confusing Service the food Nguyen serve didn’t seem exceptionally hot and bread was not included as it is in most restaurants for an additional $14. It seemed excessive not to mention the service charge that was automatically added aside from the gratuity. It was my 27th anniversary dinner. The saving grace was the nicely Decorated piece of cake after the meal with happy anniversary, Renton, and raspberry dressing

    The Thanksgiving brunch was exceptional. The staff were all kind, fun and friendly. All of the staff, cleaning tables, working in the various stations were exceptional. The food was off the charts, yes, it’s an expensive meal however, for the quality and quantity of the food, it was a steel.  The only growth feedback is our server didn’t check on us enough. We had to get up our flag down servers for water refills, coffee, and the bill. However, when they were available they were nice and friendly.

    This buffet was spectacular but for $120 per person not including drinks of any kind I was disappointed. I read that the cost was to be $89 which I thought was reasonable even $95 would have been fine but for $120 no senior discount but there is a kids discount.... We were a bit shocked. The buffet had lots of variety and the presentation was lovely but not for $120. The service was fabulous and of course the view is what makes almost any event mind blowing. Recommend you decide for yourself because the food was very good.

    Went to dinner for an anniversary with my partner and was blown away by the service and also ambiance of the restaurant. The food as well as the drinks were great and the wait in between was nicely balanced. Also when we were seated we had a card that was signed by the staff of the restaurant as well as a complimentary cake dessert at the end of our meal. Overall this is a restaurant that I’m glad I picked out and reserved in advance for a special occasion.

    Excellent experience as always! It’s been a couple of years since we’ve been to Salty’s but it’s just as wonderful as remembered. The Christmas decorations are up which just add to the ambience. There’s a beautiful glow inside and beautiful city lights outside. Just magical! We had the steamed crab clusters and scallops and both were delicious!

    The eggs Benedict was underwhelming for the price. Simply a store bought English muffin, some ham, under poached eggs…and no sides- nothing else on a huge plate. It was disappointing. A simple hash potato would have been nice. There are better brunch places in the city for this price.

    The expensive ($36) crab mac & cheese had a tablespoon of crab. Very disappointing. The sourdough bread appitizer (also expensive at $12)) was just a few slices of buttered bread and did not even taste like sourdough. In the end, I spent $154 for an average lunch. Not nearly worth it. I used to go to Salty's for the brunch buffet but even that is not available anymore. I won't be returning.
