Description:
Although the prices here are almost as out of line as those at the Space Needle, and the service is unpredictable, this restaurant has the waterfront view in Seattle, and the food is usually pretty good. Because Salty's is on the northeast side of the Alki Peninsula, it faces downtown Seattle on the far side of Elliott Bay. Come at sunset for dinner and watch the setting sun sparkle off skyscraper windows as the lights of the city begin to twinkle. On sunny summer days, lunch on one of the two decks is a sublimely Seattle experience. Don't be discouraged by the ugly industrial/port area you drive through to get here; Salty's marks the start of Alki Beach, the closest Seattle comes to a Southern California beach scene. Watch for the giant rusted salmon sculptures swimming amid rebar kelp beds and the remains of an old bridge (hey, Seattle even recycles when it comes to art).

If you want seafood and a view go to Duke's, it's 1.5 miles down the road, you'll get a better experience for your price. Salty's is overpriced, the food was terrible...

The only thing good about this place is the view. If you care to waste your money to see the view, then go for it, but the service is the worst I have had in many years. Completely...

Great views, great food. I've been eating at Salty's for more than a decade! In the summer the outdoor seating is great so I can escape the smoke of all the candles indoors....
