Find this place best seafood in all United States vs Japan even. Tuna and Sea Bass. The two are best ever. "Ira Todd Klein"

Worst

Not having been to this one-time seattle instituion for years, I decided to take some out of town guests here before the tour. Seems as if good ol' Salty's has fallen on hard tim...

We were under-whelmed! 6/21/2005

Arriving 11 minutes late for our 9:30 reservation (was a long cab ride) we were told by a very cold hostess that we would have to find a table in the bar. A table of 8 was seated in the mostly empty dining room a few minutes later. Hummmmm... After a long wait, our waitress took our drink order, and returned with same 15 minutes later. Long story short, horrible (non existent) rude service! Average overpriced food. Pros: View Cons: Service, Food, Price more

The outdoor seafood bar is horrible! 6/15/2005

I took my kids to the outdoor seafood bar the other night and we were all horribly disappointed. The food was terrible and the prices were ridiculous! I paid $30 for one order of prawns and chips, one order of halibut and chips, one side order of cole slaw and one cup of chowder- no drinks! The fish was greasy and had a very odd flavor to it. They over-salted the fries to the point where my kids were wiping them on a napkin before attempting to eat them. We threw most of the food away. I won't go there again, I'd rather go to Wally's in Des Moines. PROS: the view CONS: bad food, high prices more

Do not bring a large group 6/12/2005

Salty's is not the place to bring a large group. They will not separate a tab and are of no help in decoding the tab. Our special event ended with frustration because of the poor service. My first trip to Satly's on Alki was a let-down. I don't plan to return. Pros: The view! Cons: Slow, poor service, No separate tabs more

Salty's was fun! 6/9/2005

A friend and I just ate at Salty's. We weren't on the window but still had a clear view of the city. Thran, the hostess, was short with us but the waiter, Oka, was very attentive and helpful. The manager came to the table to see how things were. She told us about the Copper River salmon and why it tasted so great. We spent $100 for a night out and some beautiful views. We had fun! I say go and enjoy the experience for yourself. Pros: happy staff, clear view, good crab cakes Cons: snooty hostess, somewhat expensive more

At least the water taxi ride was nice! 5/31/2005

From the minute arrived at Salty's we were treated poorly. The hostess said that our wait would "be just a few minutes". After 40 minutes when I inquired about our table and reservation I was rudely told that "we will seat you as soon as we have a table!". We were seated 45 minutes after our reservation time. If they try to give you table 73...run!! With the kitchen close by and spot lights shining down on the art work it was well over 90 degrees. When we asked if the lights could be dimmed, we were told no. The service was slow and sloppy. My daughter's salmon arrived with a sauce she asked to be kept off. My meal was not even the entree I ordered. When a meal for 4 runs in excess of $200 you should expect something special. Salty's is far from special. Typical tourist trap. Pros: decent seafood Cons: long wait, poor service, over priced more
