“Beautiful dining experience... Right off the water, this restaurant has gorgeous views. The crab spinach dip was AMAZING. I had the halibut with asparagus which we split, and everything was all cooked to perfection. Sever was Danielle(I think) was quick and attentive.”
“We've been here multiple times and it's delicious everytime. The service is great! The food is so well thought through how the flavors are put together and the ingredients are of great quality. We went on a Monday for our anniversary and the table was set up to celebrate us as well as receiving a complementary dessert at the end. Most weekdays they seem to have a couple of specials which was a nice surprise to get half off bottles of wine on a Monday. We will be back!”
“Amazing! Beautiful views! Ahmed Our waiter was the best, he was very attentive and gave great recommendations! We did not make reservations, but I would definitely recommend cause they get really busy! Cant wait to come back!”
“My first time here, hubby and I celebrated our 20 year anniversary here and it was amazing! The service was top notch they made us feel so special for our anniversary. I cannot remember his name but our waiter was awesome, it was an "at your service" type of atmosphere. He did a wonderful job. I asked for a window seat for the view when I made reservations and they accommodated with no issue. The food was excellent, I had the Best Friends (seared scallops with pork belly and a pomegranate balsamic drizzle that was so dang good) and of course some crab legs! My husband had the crab mac and cheese and no doubt I had to try a bite it was fantastic. We had oysters that were so fresh and delicious, the calamari and clam chowder...all soooo good!! Dessert was complimentary for our special occasion and we chose the creme Brulee which did not disappoint it came with this cookie that was divine, I could've eaten like 12 of them. Overall super pleased I had such a wonderful time. Thank you Saltys for making our night so special!”
“Very accommodating staff. They left us time to converse and checked in without being annoying. I got the restaurant week special. The octopus had decent flavors but was a bit over cooked and could have had a more smoke flavor. The king salmon while small portion was fabulous. I was delighted with the carrot cake and that it wasn’t overly sweet and oily like so many are. It could have stood to be out of the fridge a bit longer so the icing wasn’t hard and would be more creamy. Everyone else at our table enjoyed their food. Great views from the window. Nice price points.”
