Columbia River Sunset
By Bill Adams
This (photo) was taken from the second-story deck of Salty's Seafood Grill on the Oregon side of the Columbia River. Mount Hood is behind me, but you can't see it here because, well, it's behind me. You can see that jet trail by viewing this a little larger. Read more at http://www.flickr.com/photos/billadams/2579093806/

Seattle 2008
By Carrie
We ate at Salty's across the bay from Downtown. It was a good choice because we had the Downtown Seattle Skyline as a backdrop view instead of sitting in a downtown restaurant looking out. Read more at http://marriedesertchick.blogspot.com/2008/06/seattle-2008.html

Trip to Seattle
By Douglass Family
We next walked down to the pier where we caught a water taxi and rode across Elliot Bay to an amazing restaurant called Salty's. It was really good and had a fantastic view of the Seattle skyline! We ordered fresh crab legs and steak! ... Read more at http://douglassbasics.blogspot.com/2008/05/trip-to-seattle.html

Be a Queen at Salty’s
Westseattleherald.com
By Emily Williamson
The Lunch Ladies
How would you like to feel for a queen (or king) for a day and not have to leave West Seattle? How about being treated like a Hollywood celebrity without breaking your budget? I have a secret. You can do it, and it is easy. Just go to lunch at Salty's…. We were welcomed immediately with pure West Seattle warmth. Even though Salty's it considered one of our finer restaurants, it has a refreshing, non-pretentious atmosphere. I felt right at home in my blue jeans as we passed by the partially open kitchen, the dessert tray (Miranda picked out hers right then) and made our way into the seating area. The view opened to a panorama of Elliot Bay and downtown Seattle. It was so beautiful, I actually gasped. We were seated by the windows (the view is good from every seat), when Miranda pointed to a Bald Eagle flying over the building…. Miranda and I were amazed at the prices and selection on the lunch menu. It was really affordable, and a wide selection. We started with two cups of soup. I had the crab and halibut chowder, and Miranda had the clam chowder. I was glad that Miranda didn't ask to try mine, I wanted it all. It was thick, with warm spices, and thick chunks of crabs. I savored every bite…. Today's subject with Miranda? Gifts. She talked about how people are born with multiple gifts and talents, like having majors and minors in college. She said the trick is to find our gifts, and that the clue to having a gift is that they are never selfish: they are always about serving the good of humanity. (Whoever made our meal has a gift with food!)

Salty's - What a view!
By Frantic Foodie
Seattle Post Intelligencer
I have heard the name Salty's so many times since I moved to Seattle. Finally I went to Salty's on Alki Beach for the first time. The dinner started off with a huge assortment of rolls including fresh savory scones. I actually filled up on the scones because they were so addictive. I ordered the Halibut with Beurre Blanc and Risotto with Corn and Asparagus as a side dish. The halibut was delightful and the risotto was deliciously creamy. The place was packed, the people were positive and the service was great. The dinner was one of those "I love Seattle" experiences, especially when I watched the sun come down right on the water. So romantic! Next time I have guests from out of town, I know where I am taking them. After I got home I was talking to a friend about the experience (I must add that this person is quite picky when it comes to food)

Me: I went to Salty's The food was really amazing. Him: Of course, that is why they always win so many awards (best Sunday brunch, best seafood and steakhouse in Seattle and Portland and the list goes on). Me: So what do you think it is about it? Him: They have great service, lots of staff and they use fresh ingredients.
It all made sense! Read more at http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/franticfoodie/archives/139199.asp

Stretching your dollar while dining out
KGW.COM Portland,OR
by Dave Northfield, KGW Staff
Here's another great deal for fine dining on a budget - happy hour. At Salty's they offer a smaller portion of their crab and shrimp mac and cheese for $5.99. The full portion is $24.95 at dinner. To go with discounted drinks, there's a cheeseburger and fries for $5.99 and portobello mushroom ravioli for $5 dollars. Also new at Salty's is the half price-half portion entrees which also appeal to those looking for value and a smaller portion. "Sometimes you're just not in the mood to eat a large meal. You want dessert, and you know if you order the big entree you can't make it there, " Linda Addy of Salty's told Newschannel-8.

Whether you choose to celebrate Cinco De Mayo at home or out and about, it is still about that one day of year when you can eat and drink festive food and drink with a spicy flare and the calories don't count because, well...it's a HOLIDAY! For those of you staying home, I asked some of my friends for their most famous Mexican inspired recipes….

Paddle Into the Sunset with Alki Kayak Tours
By info@toursaver.com (Gary Blakely)
You have to take the water taxi over to Alki Beach in West Seattle. Oh, you can drive over as well, but it's more fun to take the Elliott Bay Water Taxi. The water taxi operates seven days a week, between Pier 55 at the foot of Spring Street on the downtown Seattle waterfront and Seacrest dock in West Seattle. It takes about 12 minutes.
Give Greg a call at (206)953-0237. Tell him Scott sent you. TIP: Stop in for a wonderful lunch at Salty's. You can walk there from the boathouse. Kayak and lunch makes for a wonderful day in West Seattle! Alki Kayak Tours.

Where Do You Happy Hour
Seattle Post Intelligencer Reader Blogs
Posted by Eastside Uptown Girl
For the wine enthusiast, here is an idea: it's not really happy hour, but it happens right after work around 6 PM. Sommilier David LaClaire has launched his new venture SEATTLE UNCORKED! The unpretentious wine club. This past week he hosted "Sexy Syrahs" at Salty's on Alki and it benefitted FareStart, a local charity.
My friend Eileen Mintz alerted me to this event. It was packed! There were a few hundred people tasting syrahs from all over the NW. Food is also provided and Saltys catered it. We had salmon, lamb, veggie sliders, and lots of desserts. All carefully paired to go with a syrah.
If you see an event on his calendar you are interested in I suggest you jump on it because his events sell out.
It's a great way to try a variety of fine wines, network, and have a bite to eat on your way home from work.
C'mon, get happy! Read more at http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/eastsideuptown/archives/136807.asp

A majestic spring weekend
By Peter
This past weekend was easily the most gorgeous weather we've had here in the Pacific Northwest since last summer — nary a cloud in the sky, and unseasonably warm temperatures hovering around the 80-degree mark. On Friday, I joined some friends for happy hour at Salty's, a terrific seafood restaurant with outdoor seating built on a pier over Puget Sound.

Billy's Seattle / Tacoma Blog
From Billy Watson, Your Guide to Seattle/Tacoma
Salty's on Alki offers the best view and the best brunch in Seattle. Those two points are as close to universally accepted as it gets. The menu of the landmark Seattle restaurant isn't as "inventive" as some of the newer spots around town, but it also comes across as confident and unpretentious; making a meal there a nice experience for pretty much anyone. April is a great time to stop in at Salty's for two reasons: 1) It's halibut season & 2) Salty's is one of a dozen restaurants participating in Seasoned Seattle.

Auburn Men's NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships Blog
Following practice, the team went to the movie theater and saw "The Bank Job." After the movie, everyone headed down to the waterfront to a restaurant called Salty's. The place was great; the food was really good and the location was perfect. Salty's basically sits on stilts out in the water off Redondo Beach on the Puget Sound. The restaurant was apparently popular among some of the other teams at the meet. While we were there, we also saw the teams from Miami, Florida State, Stanford and Virginia.

How would you like to be in a room with buffet tables filled with salads, salmon, crab, lobster puffs, beef mini burgers, scallop/prawn skewers, chicken dishes, every pastry and cake you could imagine, and more? You could have as much food as you want, and go back for more. And, a fountain that flows with chocolate? You dip various items of food under the fountain and the chocolate hardens. I would not want to have that in my home...danger! I had this opportunity the other night at Saltys on Alki. My friend Eileen Mintz of Mintz Media invited me to her wedding planning promotion ...

'Dream' hotel proposed for Alki
CB Anderson Architects have sketched out what a proposed "boutique hotel" south of Salty's on Alki might look like, says WSB. (Finally. The only lodging West Seattle has are sketchy motels.) Published in the Daily Journal Commerce, the plan would also include improvements for the restaurant, such as a new glassed-in deck where you'll gaze on the killer view of downtown Seattle. So far, it's still in the "dream" phase and no formal applications have been filed with the city yet. Read more at http://blogs.king5.com/citizenrain/2008/01/dream_hotel_proposed_for_alki.html

Salty's Brunch
By The Owens Familiy - Our Life Story
This weekend we did one of our favorite things! We went to Salty's for their brunch on Saturday. It's AMAZING!!! It's buffet style all you can eat of the most incredible food! And it's not all seafood, which I'm not the biggest seafood fan, so that works for me. There is everything from a tall chocolate fountain, waffles, hearty breakfast items, seafood (obviously), and DESSERTS! You need to make reservations if you would like to go and Salty's has it for Saturday and Sunday and we highly recommend it to everyone!

Couple of weeks back we celebrated our anniversary at Salty's at Alki Beach. Salty's has 2 locations in Seattle and 1 in Portland. The Alki Beach has an amazing view of downtown Seattle.

For entries we tried seafood and everything was great. They have great wine collection too. Read more at http://sudsreviews.com/?p=11
