Saltoro

Delivery only review:My husband I frequently ate at Saltoro, but there were several menu changes and the food quality seemed to go down. Their service wasn't great either. So we stopped going. Fast forward about four years... and since it was our anniversary, we decided to order in a 'fancy' meal, because we just didn't feel like going out. And although we had stopped going to Saltoro we gave them another shot. And I'm so glad we did, because our meal was delicious.I ordered the roasted half chicken and my husband got the braised short rib... and everything was so yummy. The short rib was so tender and the sauce that accompanied it was delicious. The roasted chicken was so good and the mushrooms that came with it were amazing. Our only complaint was that the sauces kind of disappeared from the takeout boxes, and the portions were a little on the small side (they look bigger in photos). But the food was so tasty, we've decided it's time to try eating at Saltoro again!

Love this neighborhood restaurant! Ambience is lovely, service is great, and food is outstanding. They don't have a huge menu, but there is something for almost everyone. Their parking lot is quite busy, so you may need to park in the neighborhood and walk a block or two, but it's worth it!

4.5 stars! Very cozy, homey exterior. PACKED on a Saturday night. Been wanting to try this spot for a while!There were many amazing sounding dishes on their seasonal menu such as a rack of lamb and duck cassoulet.Tried Seasonal Drinks: Mexican Penicillin ($12), Holiday Sparkler ($9.5). I liked these! They are nothing fancy though.Mains-Butternut Squash Ravioli ($16) - as with all typical ravioli dishes this only came with 3 raviolis, but that sauce was INSANE! Super creamy with a hint of almond-y sweetness, perhaps from the amaretti cookies. Loved the fresh mushrooms on top too.-Pappardelle ($18) - Also great, with a rich/creamy/meaty sauce.I'm not sure if the pastas are fresh but they sure tasted like it!Sides-Brussel Sprouts ($8): Delicious! Loved the sweetness. They are sauteed, not roasted.-Mashed Potatoes ($5): A small side, nice and garlicky.Food was a tad slow as well as our orders being taken, but given it was completely packed that's totally understandable!

Absolutely love Saltoro--great food, service and ambiance, but FOR THE LOVEOF ELVIS, PLEASE START TAKING RESERVATIONS! The mob in the entry and the wait times on the weekends are crazy!

Delivery only review: We recently ordered delivery from Saltoro after being curious about them for some time, and it was delicious! We ordered several apps and entrees and everything came carefully packed and labeled and was delicious! Next time we will visit their location in person because if it was that yummy delivered, it must be great!

Everything about this place was great. The waiter was super kind and great. We got the truffle fries which came with an aioli and it went very well with the fries. The pasta we got was so delicious. We got a few drinks as well and they were both great. Finally we got the strawberry shortcake which is seasonal which tasted delicious. Inside was also enjoyable, and I really liked how you can sit outside as well. Overall it was a great experience and we will be retuning!

Discovered this place when our Valentine's Day dinner selection turned out to be take-out-only, excepting weekends. So we stumbled upon Saltoro, no reservation needed, then waited just a few minutes to be seated at a nice little table for two. But the Maitre D who seated us came by a minute later: "I can seat you at a booth, I just need to wipe it down." Wow. That was appreciated! Food was very good. Steak for me, pasta for her -- both good quality. But it was Mandy the Server that inspires this review. She was Old School professional! So -- between the Maitre D and Mandy -- this recommendation boils down to long-term, high-caring employees: the best mark of a quality owner-somewhere-nearby business of any sort. Great parking availability too!!!

I had never heard of this place when a friend suggested it for dinner this Sunday night. It was the perfect location to meet up for our group, which is spread across King and Snohomish counties. Admittedly, I had very low expectations. After living in Seattle for 15 years, I thought I knew all the hidden gems. Boy, was I wrong! I was truly impressed by the incredible service at Saltoro, on top of the solid food. I cannot believe this place flies a bit under the radar! (Maybe folks are keeping this secret to themselves?!)Our group of five was seated by the fireplace in the main dining room at the coziest table, where we ordered a bottle of wine and some bread to start. I chose the spinach and goat cheese salad as my app, which came beautifully dressed in a tangy mustard vinaigrette (I was glad our server warned us that the dressing was a bit on the mustard side, it definitely has a kick!!) For my entree, I ordered the fresh mozzarella pizzette. The caramelized onions on this small pizza provide such a perfect contrast in flavor. The pizzette comes topped with arugula and roasted plum tomatoes. It's definitely on the smaller side for a pizza, but it's the perfect portion for one person. The crust was crispy and had a hint of salt. I loved it!The real star of Saltoro was the service. I didn't catch our server's name, but she was so attentive and accommodating to some small requested modifications. And when the bill came, she even offered to split it into everyone's individual order. Not easy for a group of 5, but she did it with ease. Our whole group was thoroughly impressed, and we're already planning a return visit. Thanks, Saltoro!

I honestly do not know why we had not tried Saltoro sooner, but we're hooked. A restaurant buddy said it was one of their favorites and I can see why. The interior sets the mood; warm, relaxed, casual but with some definite style. I think they even had a fire going. Nice. Good place for a date. Our server set the mood with a warm welcome and drinks came quickly while we looked over the menu. I had heard the food was good but I was very pleased with the pricing on the menu--especially after our entrees came. I'd heard the roast chicken was great but opted for the pappardelle and was rewarded. Super rich and velvety, it was a perfect accompaniment to my glass of wine. Hubby's halibut was terrific and we both agreed we were remiss in not coming to Saltoro sooner. The fallen chocolate cake was great--perfect cap to the evening. We'll return for drink just to test drive the bar which looked pretty cool.

Not surprise for the bad food - we are in Seattle. We ordered roasted cauliflower, crispy chickpeas, clams and roasted chicken. Chicken was raw, the rest is yada yad
