    We celebrated our friends' anniversary & they put rose petals on the table with a handwritten card. Everyone was very attentive & so nice. The brunch buffet was top-notch. We'll definitely be back!!

    Nice booth, loud but it’s a large space so not unexpected. Food took forever to come but was nice once we got it. Valet parking was nice. The location is beautiful but experience otherwise is not amazing.

    We love Salty’s when we want a beautiful view. The food is reliably good, especially for fish lovers. (Very light on vegetarian options.) The service is great. Decor could use a little freshening up. But that view! Best dining deck in town.

    Despite reservation there was no table as requested. Was not seated at window table for special occasion. With seating later than requested and closing at &:00 PM, our service and waiter were forced and rushed. The food and setting at the restaurant are fantastic. We were disappointed with the overall experience, and I was disappointed for my guests given the build up of expectations I had beforehand built for Salty’s. I would come again for lunch, but probably in the future choose another restaurant for a special occasion.

    From the start the service was very alert and responsive to our requests. My friend, who this celebratory dinner was for, had many questions and various alterations /special requests as her diet is a bit limited in what she should eat. Her requests were all fulfilled, and we all were pleased with out delicious seafood dishes. The menu has a good variety of seafoods, vegetables and appetizers...something for each of us. One thing I did not know was that the happy hour menu was not open to us because we had a reservation for dinner and were seated at the great windows with a view !! They said we could move over to the other side if we wanted to take advantage of the happy hour menu but we did not want to trade in the beautiful view. The other diners all appeared to be enjoying themselves and the conversation and laughter abounded. Great service and very comfortable place all around .
