It was my sweetie's birthday, and Salty's made the evening special. First, they prepared the table with shiny-colored birthday confetti and a birthday card. Then, when the meal was over, they served us a slice of birthday cake with a glass of bubbly each. My wife had halibut, and I had steelhead; both were outstanding. This was not our first time at Salty's. I remember the last time I was there, the salmon was fantastic. I cannot remember what my wife had, but she loved it. The waitress was very friendly and personable. From our table, we had a beautiful view of the river. I looked around the dining room, and most, if not all, tables had a view of the river. If there is a negative, the noise level was moderate. We plan to return for our anniversary.

Food was OUTSTANDING! We got the burrata cheese, bread, butternut squash ravioli with the cream sauce and ragu. My only complaint was the bread being a bit dry and cold as well as the pasta being under salted. The service was pretty good. Our waitress was a bit cold, but there were other staff around who gave us recommendations and helped us out. The ambiance is amazing. Nice, quiet restaurant. Feels like you’re in someone’s living room, sipping a drink and looking at a view.

We had the seared ahi and steak sandwich. Both were very good and just the right size. We also had a beer and a glass of wine.
