Salty's On Alki Beach

We had our office holiday party here and it was delightful! We were in the Duwamish room which was spacious and well decorated. The patio offers an incredible view of the skyline and the heaters were strong enough that half the party was outside at all times despite the winter weather. The food was delicious and all came out together and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Had a memorable lunch for my wife’s birthday at Salty’s. The calamari appetizer was wholesome, the oysters fresh and tasty. We ordered grilled salmon and swordfish (catch of the day) for mains. Both of those were scrumptious! To top it off, they surprised us with a chocolate dessert for us to celebrate the occasion. Our waiter attended to us with a lot of energy and gave us tidbits of information about the nearby locations. When I ordered the Kalakala drinks, he pointed us to some relics from an old ferry called Kalakala in the lot next door and explained its history. Overall, a great experience. Glad we chose this place!

Roger ordered the scallops, and while tasty, he said there was too much breading. I had salmon caesar salad. Salmon delicious but very little caesar on the salad. Not even sure there was any at all. The sourdough bread was fantastic. Roger, Jr. enjoyed the lobster bisque but left most of the calamari on the plate. We all enjoyed a cocktail and share the creme brule which was excellent. Beautiful setting and excellent service.

I’ve been coming to Salty’s for several years and have never heard of any bad meals here. I love their brunch, but on this particular visit, we had dinner for Seattle restaurant week. The salmon Thai curry was flavorful, although a bit spicy. I still loved it. My partner ordered the sablefish with miso glaze and it was excellent. We both enjoyed the chocolate cake, but it was so big that I couldn’t eat the whole slice. The only thing I didn’t love this time was the seafood chowder. It was bland and I was hoping for a little more flavor. Still, we had a great dinner with a nice view of the water. Our server Jorge was excellent.
