Saltys Waterfront Seafood Grills

Fathers Day brunchTiny wait to be seated despite reservations Food is always good: salads, build your own pasta and omelette, Dungeness crab, oysters, clams, clam chowder, prime rib & turkey carving station...Despite that the best part was probably the crispy bacon & chocolate waterfall if you ask my sonService was great- even took pictures for us which was nice View cannot be beatAnd take the scones to go!!....

Ok folks - after what seems like about 5 years - the best brunch buffet in Seattle is back! Was overjoyed to attend Father's Day brunch this year as they start getting their season legs back. Found our way to the best corner table, and waited on by 'the blond' as she calls herself - a 20 year veteran of the institution. Drinks, hot towels, plate clearing all impeccably attended to by wait and bus staff. The buffet?!?! YOU WILL LEAVE LONG BEFORE YOU TRY EVERYTHING! (Unfortunately). Great Benedict's, carved prime rib and hams, oysters shucked on demand, piles of crab and shrimp, not to mention omelette and pastas made to order with lobster, scallops, crab and shrimp. Crème brûlée, hummingbird cakes, and probably....30 other deserts? Not counting the chocolate fountain.Still one of the best waterfront views, easy parking, and staff that are as happy to be there as you are! It's a little speedy, but I have ZERO REGRETS taking the family of 5!

Came for birthday brunch. The team decorated the table and added a birthday card welcoming the (81 year obirthday girl. Very thoughtful. The hostess was delightful - very warm and friendly. The staff was very attentive- our glasses were never empty and they checked in often, despite a full house. My sister said the reservation process went smoothly.Grilled asparagus wrapped in procuitto, with a warm aioli (nice touch!)Golden beet salad looked delish- the birthday girl gobbled it up.The egg dishes were prepared well - our server Lindsay (awesome service!) wielded a baseball bar sized pepper grinder table side. Burger and fries were good - it wasn't cooked to medium and the fries were not as hot as they could have been, but it was still tasty.The white chocolate mousse cake was light and fluffy, the key lime tart was on point - just the right amount of tartness. They complimented each other well, if you aren't able to decide, which was my mom's dilemma.Overall a nice Sunday experience. Bathrooms were clean, and plenty of parking/easy walking distance from the Seattle water taxi.

Came here for the first time. And even though we had a reservation it still took 20mins to get our table. Our server Cameron wasn't attentive, after he served the food he never came back until we started standing around looking for him. To get the check and a box to go. My sister never got a refill on her soda, luckily they gave us all water. Now the food so was so good. I ordered the Louie Louie salad and it was so big I couldn't finish it. My mother got her salmon and it was so good but she got so full she couldn't finish it.The place is nice I loved all the fish decor

Loved our visit!! We sat right on the window and had an EPIC view of the city and Space Needle. Saw a few seals out in the water and enjoyed our menu selections from restaurant week. The oysters were fresh and the huckleberry lemon drop was incredible!

We decided to try salty's after reading so many good reviews, however I was pretty disappointed. I tried their habanero margarita, which was amazing. I also had their Cesar salad but I did not like it, it was too lemony and also tasted fishy. I also got the coco shrimp and I didn't like those either. Our server took great care of us though and made the experience a bit better. I won't be coming back but I'm glad I got to see the view from the restaurant.

Dining here is definitely more for the view rather than the food (which is not bad but also not out of this world). Dinner was quite pricey but the entree portions are large. Our table ordered the calamari, crab boil , chicken, scallops, and cioppino. My cioppino was ok, not super flavorful. We sat next to the window and watched the sunset which was beautiful. Our server (guy with glasses) was really nice.

I'll be honest, I'd never heard of Saltys. A group of us were in Seattle a couple of days before our Alaska Cruise and decided to Ferry over to Alki Beach. Once we got 'to the other side', there she was in all of her waterfront glory beckoning us to walk over and have dinner. Imagine this: 27 people walking up to the Hostess stand, on a Friday evening, without reservations and asking to be accommodated! THE HORROR that poor girl must have felt!!! The hostess calmly said she would have to check with the manager. Within minutes Manager Patrick came to talk to us. (I seriously thought he would say he couldn't accommodate our group and send us packing). Patrick graciously explained if we could sit outside and split into two tables he could set us up! We happily agreed!! The outside Patrick was talking about was an extra large clear event tent with the sides open to enjoy the gorgeous weather and views!! We were BEYOND thrilled with this set up! Our table's server was Chris who was incredibly patient with us (explaining and reexplaining the daily specials, answering a plethora of questions, taking our photos, etc). I enjoyed Oysters and the Salmon Daily Special. Hubs enjoyed Calamari and the Halibut Daily Special. All food and drinks were outstanding!! Everyone enjoyed their dinners. This incredibly special dinner stands out as one of our most favorite highlights of our 10 day vacation. Thank you Patrick, Chris and all of the Saltys team members who went Above and Beyond to take care of us! Cheers!

The automatic 4% surcharge was disappointing. Other than that, the food and service were terrific. We started outside but moved inside because the sun went away. We had the halibut, fish n chips, scallops, sablefish, and a bunch of oysters. Too many amazing views of skyline while dining. I wish they would bring back their amazing brunch buffet every weekend. I definitely would visit more often.

Came here for dinner on a work trip. This is such a great restaurant sits right on the water and would have had no idea about if a friend who is a local put me on to it. It was gloomy and a little rainy but I still enjoyed it. I'm sure on a nice day it would be beautiful. The food was delicious , service was great we walked in upstairs , went around the bar inside downstairs to the patio in the back and sat outside it was wonderful. Will come again next time I'm in town
