Salty's is very good. However, we spent $450.00 on a 4 person birthday dinner last night. We ordered a bottle of wine with the meal. This made me slightly angry. Our meals were delivered, but the wine was not. I had to remind the meal delivery person (not our server/wait-staff) that we ordered wine. Many minutes later our wait-staff person shows up with the wine. So we waited some time without wine to drink with our entries. I know - first world problem - but their prices are high and one expects proper top-tier restaurant protocols. You ALWAYS get the wine to the table before the entries are served. So, if you go, be mindful that YOU will have to direct how the meal is to be served - what comes first and when, etc.Parking: It's good on a week night. Weekends are a challenge. It's very remote. We drive 40 minutes to get there.

My husband got the special of the evening which was halibut. The size of his fish was about 3 bites! And I am being generous. My Bucatini was wonderful, he agreed. We brought the size of his fish to the attention of our waiter and he apologized and the manager came by acknowledge our complaint and said he would check out the kitchen, and that was it! Don't think we will be in a hurry to go back, sad too because it shouldn't have happened.......

I believe we paid way to much for nothing.I had the lobster tail and it was like burnt and not much to it.I am very disappointed in the food.Sorry guys but it use to be so much number.Thank you anyway,Dee Hathaway

Returning home from a week camping in Sisters, OR. Decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner out. Salty's was just a couple miles from our RV park. They fit us in on a Saturday evening. Wonderful dinner, drinks, and the view is fantastic.

Great place to visit on my first time to Portland. The seafood chowder was absolutely amazing!They had halibut with risotto on special tonight and the halibut was quite overcooked unfortunately, had a tough time even cutting it with my fork. The risotto was spot on though!It's too bad because everything else was great along with the service and atmosphere. Very attentive wait staff all around. I'd go again for sure.

The Sunday brunch was $99. Fresh crab, made to order omelettes, pasta, crepes, pancakes and waffles. The clam chowder was so good, prime rib was fork tender. Dessert was low key lacking for the price tag.

Our server was patient, helpful, and willing to make suggestions. Salty's food is excellent. It's also not inexpensive. I was surprised at how great the Crab Mac and Cheese tasted.Parking: Valet only.

Tuesday nights is a very busy night at Salty's. It's 3 Course meal night for two (or 1 if you have two stomachs). We had a great view of the river from our table. Staff was friendly and quick and split our meal in two. It was still a ton of food. We started with a thick'n meaty clam chowder with dungeness crab on top. Then a dozen prawns slathered in savory butter and garlic mash potatoes under that. Lastly, a piece of white cake with delicious icing. All for $35.

Great views, good food and friendly service. The Caesar salad was a good way to start. Very light with crunchy homemade croutons. I had the lobster / shrimp meal with the champagne cream sauce. It was delicious. I love that sauce. I have been to Salty’s 4 or 5 times before, but this is now my go to entree choice. You will not be disappointed. My wife had the special salmon spring salad with a mango type dressing. She is GF and DF and loved that. I also had the lime-cranberry non-alocohol drink. It was ok but a little too much lime. Overall about $110 for two plus tip. Nice evening. Nice place.Dietary restrictions: GF and DF options.
