    We went there for my wife's Birthday for the Sunday seafood buffet. The ambiance, food, and service was outstanding. It was a little spendy but definitely worth it, especially for a special occasion. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and ate so much we could hardly move after.

    Great food and view. Extraordinary service. We chose Salty’s for our mother’s 90th birthday luncheon. Staff went out of their way to accommodate our seating preferences for this very special get together. We did call ahead and arrived right at opening time. Mom was delighted and we all enjoyed our meals. The cake we brought was served (for a nominal fee) which added to the ease and fun. Great place for casual to special occasion meals. Very impressive team operating this fine establishment.

    Celebrated a birthday. Table was set with birthday decor and had excellent service from our server, Jayne. Excellent birthday cake and ice cream to end the time. Salty's is always the best for celebrations.
