Food was excellent. I ordered the scallops for $62. They were very good - BUT only 3 scallops (or $21 per scallop). Should have been at least 4 or them.

This is simply one of the best view restaurants in the city, if not The best. Therefore, expect excellent service, fine cuisine, and to pay for it.

Consistently delicious food and excellent service. The nicest view of Seattle. We love their seafood buffett and we are happy they brought it back, but at $120.00 per person I think it's way too expensive. We will have to find other options for a more reasonable price.

Salty's exceeded our expectations. We have lived in Seattle for over 20 years and never had dinner at Salty's. We didn't know whether or not to trust the reviews. We absolutely loved our dinner and evening. The staff all the way from the hostess to the kitchen staff to the servers were extremely welcoming, nice and professional. The atmosphere is really special with dim lights, beautiful holiday decorations and a stunning view of the Seattle Downtown. The food was also fantastic. Salty's has an old school, classy vibe which was exactly what we were looking for to enjoy a joint birthday and holiday family meal.

Back for the Sunday Brunch Buffet! The crab, shrimp and oysters were all delicious and high quality. Great omelette and pasta station options too. The prime rib was ok, along with the ham, but nothing special. Best to eat seafood at a seafood restaurant! Get reservations well in advance!

Normally love Salty’s, but this experience was disappointing. The service was terrible - we immediately ordered drinks and appetizer seafood sampler (which was delicious). But the server didn’t come back to check on us for over 20 minutes; we would’ve loved a side of drawn butter for the crab legs but never had the opportunity to ask. Once he finally did return, we had to ask if we could order. And then, upon getting our meals he didn’t check back with us for over 20 minutes. One of our steaks was overcooked and we would’ve loved an alternate dressing for the Louie Louie salad but there was no one around to help remedy it, and we were hungry so we ate it. For a $600 meal for 5 people, it was an overall disappointing experience and hasn’t lived up to our previous expectations.
