My boyfriend and I have now dined at Salty's twice. The first time was in Oregon. The view was fab and so was the service and food. We decided to go back to Salty's on Alki. We made reservations and requested a seat by the window (a must!) and were seated promptly. The hostess was nice and I recieved multiple comments by her. However, once our server (his name was Brian) arrived I knew I would not be enjoying Salty's as much as I did before. He seemed to rush us a bit, and paid little attention to us from what I think is his assumption that we would not tip well. My boyfriend ordered the clam chowder (which is awesome) and I the ceasar salad (mediocre, needs a bit more dressing). He did not give us crackers with his chowder. We had to ask and wait for atleast 10 minutes before recieving any. We did not get any bread, which made me upset because every other table was given bread the moment they recieved their drinks. It was dissapointing that we had to ask for things that are included with the meal and other people were given with not having to say a word. In addition to not recieving the items we should have and having to ask for them, Brian seemed a bit "too good" for me and my boyfriend. Bottom line is, if you plan to go to Salty's, remember you must look "rich" (he was being overly nice to the "rich" men sipping wine at a table next to us) to be given good service.
Pros: Great view, Awesome food.
Cons: Service.
