    Amazing food and views, as always. We come here frequently. Loved the oysters, Cesar salad, crab cakes, tuna melt, and sushi roll.

    My family had a perfect dining experience, and we left happy and satisfied. The service, food, atmosphere are unrivaled. The views, of course, are spectacular. I have eaten at Salty's many times over the years, but it just seems to get better with experience. What a gem of a restaurant!

    The thanksgiving buffet is nothing short of amazing. By the line out of the door, I don’t think we are the only ones who thought so.

    I love Salty’s. Everything was super nice. Price was a bit high. But then again - the food was high quality and served very well.
