An old-school waterfront restaurant that feels like home and charms the crowds.
Seafood & Views
Sweeping Views of Puget Sound
Sunsets over the Olympic Mts.
Built over the waters of Puget Sound in the charming village of Redondo, just 10 minutes from Sea-Tac Airport, we offer fresh seafood, prepared with style. From live Dungeness crab and Maine lobster (swimming in our lobby) to our Alaskan salmon and halibut in season, oysters and clams from Northwest beaches or USDA prime aged charbroiled steaks, luncheon salads and sandwiches, our menu offers many choices. To complement your meal, order wine from an extensive list of outstanding Northwest and world-class selections. Our Sunday Brunch was is a Citysearch award-winner.
The Bar-Cafe features live music on select evenings select evenings and a happy hour. When spring and summer arrive, our wrap-around decks attract many locals.
We also accommodate business meetings and banquets for as few as three or as many as 50.
The Scene While Salty's may not be keeping up with downtown Seattle's culinary sophistication, it excels at making diners feel comfortable. Service is down-to-earth and reliable, never snobbish. Regulars have long made this their special-occasion restaurant, while others bring visitors to show off the billion-dollar view.
The Food Stick with the basics, starting with creamy seafood chowder. Coconut prawns have long deserted most menus, but die-hard fans will find them here--an instant flashback to the 1980s. The kitchen's approach to fish leans toward fillets bathed in butter-rich sauces. With steaks, medium-rare often arrives more medium than rare, so err on the rare side when ordering. A popular weekend brunch includes all-you-can-eat crab legs and shellfish, along with crepe, waffle and omelette bars.
They have the best food and service. We like to go and have a quiet drink in the evening and sit by the water. The location makes you feel like you're in a little remote hideaway. Great stuff.

I have been going to Saltys for over 20 years. I had 1 bad experience there with food poison , 10 years ago , and Once again,recently with a snooty manager. Both times they downplayed everything. Overall they hire good help and do their best. I met the owner but he doesnt know me from Adam as I am pretty discreet . I have played guitar with a few of my local musicians there for fun. I think the staff doesnt have to work so hard to please because of the location. If you dont like it go elsewhere , seems to have been the attitude a couple times I was there. Overall they do well.

I had a business dinner at Salty's last night and the food was excellent. I had the seafood chowder as an appetizer and the Romano Asagio Halibut with mashed potatoes and vegetables and it was delicious. I would highly recommend Salty's and look forward to hopefully eating there again. Also, the view over Puget Sound made for a great dining experience.

I have been to Salty's a number of times and have always had excellent service and delicious food. The wait staff is very personable and there whenever you need them. I would recommend this restaurant to any friend and also to out of town visitors.

I took a friend from Falls Church to lunch and it was a nice day in May so we decided to sit outdoors. She raved about the great views, tasty food and super service. I was pleased that I was able to please her with a super lunch close to home.

If your going out for brunch this is the place to go. The variety of food is overwhelming if you like egg benedict this is the place. The serves is very warm and friendly and the view whether it be early morning or evening is incredible.
Besides brunch they also have a wonderful lunch and dinner menu.

The view is stunning from this waterfront restaurant at Redondo in Des Moines. The food is always excellent, as is the service. The food is expensive, but this is fine dining. The perfect place for a special date!

Picturesque
By cutebirdie
Our first visit was to our liking. We had a party of 18 people and they had set up the tables in a platformed area of the restaurant, so we felt we had our own little room, in a sense. The waiter, Noel, was very very accommodating, entertaining, and polite. The food was fresh (most of us ordered halibut), and the prices competitive. The restaurant sits right on the Puget Sound with the beach that adds to the whole experience. The restaurant definitely gave us that sea worthy feeling. Loved it!
Pros: View Cons: Small spacing, bad parking lot

Brunch: Not exactly an unforgetable experience
By PierreofFrance
Rather disapointing and expensive brunch which does not provide a good value unless you are looking for a lot of food of mediocre quality. I tried a variety of food. Crabs were salty, and dried. Crepes tasted cooking oil instead of butter as they should. Crepe batter was inappropriate for good crepes. Oysters on the shell were small and dry. Roasted beef was overcooked. Salmons (varieties) were overcooked. Sorry, but any standard, none of the food that I tried met the qualification of a good, expensive restaurant. For the price one would expect a lot better. Too bad, because the location of the place is outstanding!
Pros: View if lucky to be seated next to a window facing the Sound Cons: Very mediocre food

Salty's is the best restaurant in the south sound!!
By northwestgranny
Salty's is my favorite restaurant in the south sound. I can't get enough of their beautiful sunsets. The fun and lively happy hour; the staff at Saltys and the food make every trip memorable. On the weekends they have live music and when live music and happy hour are going on I can't think of a better place to be for dinner . You also can't beat their Sunday brunch. They offer all the favorites wild fresh salmon, crab, shrimp, oysters oh yeah and the ultimate chocolate fountain. As you can tell I spend alot of time at Salty's but with all their wonderful choices and weekly menu changes I will be coming back for years to come. Salty's has hands down the best food, staff and atmosphere in the south sound. Thank you Salty's
Pros: warm friendly staff and delicious food Cons: I can't eat at Salty's every day

Disappointed
By JC10
A friend and I went to Salty's in Redondo last week and were looking forward to it as it's one of the few restaurants in the Federal Way area that isn't in a strip mall. Unfortunately, it wasn't very good. My girlfriend ordered mussels and the third one she tried was obviously bad so she returned it and it was removed from the bill. A manager came by and mentioned that they'd had previous problem with their supplier. Hopefully, by now they've corrected the problem. Next my salad nicoise arrived execpt that it was nothing like a salad nicoise. It was just a large green salad without the usual tuna, green beans, egg, niceoise olives, new potatoes and capers that are all fairly customary in this dish. After sending back the mussels, I was reluctant to be the ugly customer who complained and sent everything back. Wish I had something better to say about the place. Oh, wait , the view is nice. There...
Pros: Nice view, outdoor dining Cons: Inconsistant menu quality.

Dinner and a View
By Kirby07
Salty's at Redondo is a wonderful place for a date. Their restaurant is right on the Puget Sound so you have a lovely view of the water as you dine. I went there on Valentines Day and enjoyed their friendly atmosphere. The servers and staff were amazing tending to our every need. The presentation of the food was spot on with a superb taste. Salty?s is a little pricey but definitely worth it!
