Salty's on the Columbia River

It's been six years since I've been here. Decided to try it out again even with the crazy price hike. The food variety and quality does not seem to be there anymore. The customer service of the staff was very questionable. Beyond the hostess staff i wonder how they are later in the day. When we were there at opening and they already were not ready to be there.

We celebrated our 28th anniversary at Salty's. When we arrived, they asked if we were celebrating anything special and when we said it was our anniversary, they quickly created a wonderful personalized experience at our table, with rose petals and an anniversary card . The food was amazing. A little pricey, but well worth it A great server truly makes a great experience at any restaurant . Our server, Matt, was amazing, super personable and knowledgeable. We even brought home a complementary dessert to share for later ! My husband is working in Happy Valley, Oregon for about eight months, and we will definitely return to Salty's!

Pretty view. My husband had Halibut and it was delicious. I had Best Friends. Scallops and Pork Belly. Two of my favorites. It was more than disappointing. Served on a single skewer , not even a bed of rice. Three small scallops and 3 pieces of pork belly. It tasted just ok. Luckily the wine and my husband's dinner was good. Overall, our Anniversary celebration dinner could have been better.

We celebrated our 42nd Wedding Anniversary today. We have never been here before, but this place has been on our bucket list for a long time. The food was amazing and the service and hospitality were fantastic. I’m sure we will definitely be back.

Salty's has, in our opinion, the best view in town. I just wished the food was reliably good. Today I had oysters as an appetizer, the wedge salad and the prim rib sandwich. Everything was good. However, my wife had the warm seafood salad and the steelhead was raw (we cook a lot of fish and there really is no excuse for a fish house to serve raw, not sushi grade, fish. The server took the raw fish and brought two prawns as a substitute - but the meal experience for her was already set to disappointing and, sadly, we have been disappointed by the food more times than not (and we've been going there for years). The coffee was excellent and the servicer was first rate. All things considered, today I would give it 4.5 stars for service and 2 stars for food quality/value. We will likely go back but it will be primarily for the view, and hope we get lucky with the food quality. I told my wife on the drive home, if Salty's could get there kitchen's act together it would be a top destination restaurant.

Great food, great service but extremely noisy! So if your wearing hearing aides or are hard of hearing beware.

As always, Salty's is an excellent venue for amazing food and a great view. We came to celebrate a birthday and I can't imagine a better place to be. Attentive service, a table overlooking the marina and river—it was just lovely all around!

Exceptional beautiful Sunday Brunch on 2 levels- So many choices - Prime rib - seafood chowder - fresh oysters in the half shell -fresh dugenous crab - shrimp- wonderful made to order omelets - steelhead - eggs Benedict - fresh fruit deserts ( best bread pudding ever!) Fabulous views of the water and marina- So satisfying. The staff are incredibly kind and knowledgable- Laura was a fabulous server attending to everything- warm towels- extra butter- great drink service. Go - make your reservation so worth the price.

My son and I both ordered steaks. After an extremely long wait for our food, my steak was well done and I had specified medium rare. Everything else on the plate was cold. They tried again and it was so rare it was cold on the inside. I gave up. They comped the steak and 2 desserts, but I never got the steak I ordered. The manager apologized explaining there were new employees, but for the cost of our meal I would think they could get it right the second time! They should have comped the whole meal. Won't be eating there again.

Everything was great from the time we walked in the door until we left the building. Will be back again.

We had an amazing time! ❤️ The food was excellent! 👍👍 The Mel Brown Trio was fantastic! 😍 The staff and chefs were spectacular! A special thank you to Meghan, Lauren and Juan!! 🤩 It was another wonderful and memorable birthday celebration!! 🎂🥳

This was our second visit to Salty’s and once again, we were blown away by the service. The food is incredible, but the service is really what sets them apart. The Sunday brunch is highly recommended, offering everything from fresh seafood, to a crepe station, traditional breakfast foods, prime rib and a chocolate fountain with all kinds of things to dip. We were offered everything we could possibly need for condiments, etc. before we even knew we needed them. At the end, we were brought warm towels to clean our hands. I could rave about this place for an hour and still not hit all the points I want to. Salty’s is a fantastic restaurant with an impeccable customer experience!

We moved to the Portland area during the pandemic, and Salty's was the first post-pandemic restaurant we went to. It became our special occasion go-to eatery. Just this past week we went to Salty's for our anniversary. They set our table with rose petals and, as always, the service and our seafood dishes were excellent!

The food does not compare to what it was prior to covid. I don't have a reason to return. The price almost doubled, and the quality of the food went way down. The service was also poor.
