Editorial Review for Salty's on Alki – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
While Salty's may not be keeping up with downtown Seattle's culinary sophistication, it excels at making diners feel comfortable. Service is down-to-earth and reliable, and there's no other deck in town that can match the Alki Beach location. Regulars have made this their special-occasion restaurant, while others bring visitors to show off the billion-dollar view--long decks stretch out on top of the water.

The Food
Die-hard fans of coconut prawns will find them here, as well as basics like creamy seafood chowder. Standard entrees include fish (bathed in butter-rich sauces) and steaks (medium-rare may arrive more medium than rare, so order on the rare side). Brunch is a renowned affair: It's pricey, but the huge buffet features made-to-order omelets and crepes, a meat-carving station, steam tables filled with brunch favorites, all-you-can-eat crab legs, oysters, prawns and shellfish, pastries and a chocolate fountain for fondue.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I've been going to Salty's for Brunch for many years. My family just loves it. My husband isn't much of a seafood fan but that doesn't stop him from enjoying it just as much as the rest of us. There are so many fresh choices, YUM! I recently decided to try them out for dinner. It was even better than brunch. Service was perfect, as usual, not snobby or corny. The view was of course amazing but the food.... Fantastic! I had these seared scallops that blew me away. So good I went back the next week because I had to have them again. Skip the coconut prawn app, because you can get those anywhere. Oh and if it's still on the specials menu, you have to try the gazpacho with Dungeness crab!! I’ll be back for more of that too!

We will not be back!!! We made reservations as recommended for Brunch last weekend. When we arrived 5 minutes early, we were told that it would be half an hour wait. So we waited, waited and waited. No offering of water or anyting in that heat!!! The staff seemed to be running around, never engaging and annoyed with everyone who was there. When we finally satt down to try and eat, the majority of the food was cold, my wife asked the server if we could heat up the food on our plates in the microwave, and he seemed put out by the request. Cold and bland food shouldn't even be nominated for the best of!!!! The restaurant is dirty, dusty and needs some desparate attention to detail. The area where the buffet is located is covered with grease and just gross. For that much money, we'd rather battle the tourists on the waterfront in some of the newer restaurants.....

Pros: Watching teh chaos....

Cons: Having to endure the chaos...
