Salty's On Alki Ctrng & Bnqts

went to saltys for a casual dinner on a hot sunny day, view was great but other than that nothing else was, limited menu, terrible service (took 15 mins to have a seat while they were slow and 30 mins for a glass of water and a hi from our waiter) we did not order after this, we went across the water to Anthony's on pier 66 where I WOULD STRONGLY STRONGLY RECCOMMEND OVER SALTYS ANY DAY more

After reading some of the reviews on this site, we decided to check it out while in town last weekend. We should have listened to the real ones on the second page!!! The front desk was extremely rude, even though we were only 5 minutes early for our reservation, they made us wait another 20 minutes, didn't even offer for us to sit in the bar. The server was unapologetic about our wait and seemed put out that we were trying to get a view, but were stuck in the corner next to a loud server hangout... The steak was overcooked, ordered medium rare and was sent out well done, so much for Prime Beef. When the second steak came out, they simply dropped it and ran, hoping it was correct.... They seem so stuck in the 70's with some of their food, the fried fish martini was horrible, cold and left much to be desired. The chowder was a saving grace. The black pepper sauce on our salmon was way too overpowering and why blacken the best fish in the water, Yukon salmon? The spice was awful. Pros: Chowder Cons: Everything else.... more

I was invited to dinner at Salty's last week and wow have things changed! I was so impressed with the food and service I made a reservation to spend the 4th of July there as well. One of the servers told me that they hired a new chef about a year ago. What a difference! I had the salmon. It was perfectly cooked and the sauce was a perfect touch. This place is not just about the view anymore. It is about great food and the view! My vote: If you have not been there in a while, go give it a try. Pros: Great view and food Cons: should make a reservation more

There's no place like it in Seattle! When you put this incredible view of downtown Seattle across Elliott Bay (the glass windows of the skyscrapers reflect the sunset across the water - wow!) together with fabulous Northwest seafood (hey, there are steaks too if you gotta) made with absolute class, you have to agree there's no place like it in all of Seattle! We had great service (server was very very friendly) and couldn't ask for more. The menu included recommendations for wine pairings with their special seafood dishes (halibut and salmon). Wild salmon is all the rage now. If you know anything about Seattle, you know you must have wild salmon when it's available. Now is the time in the Pacific Northwest! Nothing else like it and Salty's is the epitome of great places for wild salmon. We asked for a window table and even though everyone does we were lucky and got one (all the tables have views though since it's terraced - very nice way to share with everyone in the place!). Okay, I ramble on but really it's worth the time if you have to wait in line. The place is very popular after all! We say try it, you'll love it! We go with friends, as a couple, with groups, or go on your birthday and they'll give you FREE cake. Pros: Fabulous view, fabulous food, fabulous waiters! Cons: Very popular so it can mean you have to wait. But it's totally worth it! more

Loved the a la carte menu. Not a fan of the buffet. But alas I don't go when the buffet is on, so it's all good ! Pros: View, Seafood Cons: Parking more

We made reservations over a month ago for 11:00 on Mother's Day. Little did we know what we were in for... Let's start off with the cattle call of people waiting for terrible food. The line was out the door when we arrived to try and check in. We were told there was already a wait and that it was to be expected, even with a reservation. The front desk staff should be given a class in being considerate!!! They were completely rude and looked confused and scared with all the people waiting. After being sat 30 minutes late, the server was just as rude as the front desk, looked like a common theme for the day!!! We had to go through the buffet numerous times just to get some food, it was either cold or empty. If you want to try and dine with the masses, for terrible food and rude service, then this is for you. If not, stay away from the trap. Overpriced and underrated, just look at their reputation and listen!!!!!! We should have!!!!! Pros: None Cons: Rude staff, terrible food, tourist trap more

terrible service from the time you make your reservations to the time you leave. do not go to this restaurant. the all-you-can-eat brunch is way overpriced but unfortunately this is one of the few places that has it in seattle so it is popular and has very little competition in the area. go a-la-carte at the many other restaurants in town if view and hunger are not on your priority. the view is what draws people to this place. have low expectations and your experience will be more tolerable. Pros: view Cons: service more
