Salty's On Alki Ctrng & Bnqts

The wife and I wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary but the parking was quite full when we got there. The way the cones were set up in the lot and because of the number cars leaving the general parking area when we arrived we had no choice but to drive through the valet lot to turn around and look for street parking. To make a long story short, we were treated rudely by one of the lot attendants and decided that we would just eat some place else. The following day I sent an email to the general manager Bonnie David and guest services. It's been nearly two weeks and no reply. I must assume that they don't want my business. UPDATED 11/15/10 in response to Pam's response below: Pam, I believe you have me confused with another person/complaint. I was never contacted nor spoken with anyone from your organization until 2 days ago. It was by email and 16 days after my original email. Though your organization response was slow I do appreciate finally being contacted by Jada Wood. I have one overall suggestion: Remember that you're in the customer service business and businesses can succeed or fail based upon the customer's experience whether it's on the frontline or in the back office. Again, thanks for finally addressing my experience. Pros: Good location Cons: Customer services is terrible more

View great, food not so great, service even worse. Bathrooms were a mess (to me always and indication of overall cleanliness). As I walked by the open cooking area the cooks were throwing food at each other. Did any of that land in my food? Thank god my clients did not see that! Waiter was impatient with my German guests who do speak english but needed a little extra time to read the menu and order. I was embarrassed when the waiter rolled his eyes when one of my clients asked for a little more time. I often bring international clients to Seattle, but not to Salty's again. Pros: view Cons: most everything else more

Having just moved to there area, I searched high and low for a great seafood spot with a view of my new city. Found the view! Lost out big time on the food and atmosphere. WAAAy less than mediocre... I've had better fish sticks. I NEVER judge or review a restaurant on my first visit. I always give a second chance. This time.. I don't think I need to go back for clarification.

FABULOUS view of Seattle across the Sound. I have ALWAYS gotten GREAT service and GREAT food, even when I brought 20 people and arranged for separate checks(not easy on the servers). Everyone in my large party of "out of towners" agreed that the food was excellent and service was GREAT. I have always gotten GREAT food, cooked exactly to order for Lunch and Dinner. Brunch is a buffet so a few things are cooler than I like, but still good. I recommend Salty's at Alki to EVERYONE that is looking for a GREAT seafood meal. Pros: GREAT seafood for a Market price Cons: Should make Reservations more
