salty's

The drinks were perfect! You could easily get smashed without knowing it.
The appetizer's were great. Try the Oyster shooters those are different but very good.
The dungenous crab was bland... I liked the appetizers better.

I've been going to Salty's for Brunch for many years. My family just loves it. My husband isn't much of a seafood fan but that doesn't stop him from enjoying it just as much as the rest of us. There are so many fresh choices, YUM! I recently decided to try them out for dinner. It was even better than brunch. Service was perfect, as usual, not snobby or corny. The view was of course amazing but the food.... Fantastic! I had these seared scallops that blew me away. So good I went back the next week because I had to have them again. Skip the coconut prawn app, because you can get those anywhere. Oh and if it's still on the specials menu, you have to try the gazpacho with Dungeness crab!! Ill be back for more of that too!

We will not be back!!! We made reservations as recommended for Brunch last weekend. When we arrived 5 minutes early, we were told that it would be half an hour wait. So we waited, waited and waited. No offering of water or anyting in that heat!!! The staff seemed to be running around, never engaging and annoyed with everyone who was there. When we finally satt down to try and eat, the majority of the food was cold, my wife asked the server if we could heat up the food on our plates in the microwave, and he seemed put out by the request. Cold and bland food shouldn't even be nominated for the best of!!!!

The restaurant is dirty, dusty and needs some desparate attention to detail. The area where the buffet is located is covered with grease and just gross. For that much money, we'd rather battle the tourists on the waterfront in some of the newer restaurants.....

We went to Salty's for the first time this past weekend and had a great time. The view is amazing, everything from the Columbia Tower to the Space Needle sits across the bay. The service was earnest, well-timed. The food was very good- in fact, we were expecting something standard like a McCormick and Schmick's but found some really inventive dishes that delivered. With so many great places to frequent for dinner in Seattle, we rarely return to the same place in the same season. For Salty's, we will make an exclusion!

Salty's may be known for its view and seafood but it's the friendly wait staff that have my husband and I and our friends and familes coming back time and again. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and special. We bring our daughters here for their birthday year after year. We entertain business clients (great way to schmooze a client). We bring friends and neighbors. If someone doesn't like seafood, they have steaks, salads, pasta (which turns into a vegetarian dish easily, just ask). It's really got everything. (If you don't see what you want be sure to ask. If you have any issues, just let a manager know!) We especially like the way they include wine suggestions on their daily fresh sheet. Very nice touch. Our daughters really love the white chocolate cake they serve free for birthdays (and balloons to boot). It's definitely THE place to take out-of-town visitors which means it can get crowded and busy during the summer, but it's worth the wait (just be sure to make reservations). There's just no better place to show off Seattle and it's incredible location on Elliott Bay with the mountains in the background. And they have the "Nordstrom" friendliness and we'll take care of everything mindset. Salty's is synonymous with Seattle! We always vote for Salty's during the Citysearch annual vote. They so deserve it!
