    Dishes I tried: *oysters - I'm not a huge oyster fan to begin with so I'm biased; they were okay but kind of small. *fried calamari - really good in the way any fried food can be! *seafood Neptune - a platter of scallops, cod, salmon, mushrooms, potato cake, and broccolini, covered in a lobster sherry creme and vinaigrette. Also good, but not sure if everything only tasted good because the buttery sauce or because of the seafood itself *chowder - good especially with the crab! Overall the food itself was pretty good (you'll notice my adjectives remain limited to "good" because it's satisfying in a very normal way), BUT the prices are $$$ and with that extra dollar sign in there I kind of expect to feel like I'm getting a fine dining experience (or to obviously taste the difference in quality of the seafood). Someone else pointed it out in their review but I agree that it's weird that the tables are literally covered with butcher paper (it's not like Boiling Crab where we eat straight on the table). I would say to go only because it's a staple of Federal Way, but I probably won't go back.

    Salmon & Best Fish and chips ever!  And we had fish and chips before from Gordon Ramsey, but not as good as the one from Salty's.

    I looked here and on Google to decide where to have our last meal during our weekend escapade in Seattle. Was a non planned trip. The reasons changed and it became a sighting and adventurous weekend. And with such a positive vibe I wanted good seafood for my BF. He deserved an amazing place. So after the great reviews here I decided to see for myself (well, I said I hope is that good. But it was even better) The view, The Menu, The Location and an amazing waiter OKA, He made our visit memorable. I'm so happy I can't wait to go back. It's a perfect spot to celebrate any important event in your life. The food, the staff even for 2 Iowans residents like us without a clue of what to do, this was an awesome experience. I totally recommend to those seafood experts or clueless like us. I'm very grateful of a magnificent experience that only could get better with an special bonus, a rainbow for some epic pictures on front of such wonderful view. Totally recommend this spot! Won't disappoint.

    I love, love, loved the setting at Salty's going as soon as I dropped my belongings off at a nearby hotel. I wanted to get something local, and seafood, and with an amazing view as a bonus of Poverty Bay. Salty's didn't disappoint! Pricing was a bit steep, but the Dungeness Crab Cocktail was delicious! I opted to pair the appetizer with a side salad and their sherry vinaigrette, which was also yummy. If you find yourself in Redondo Beach, it's definitely a worth a stop!

    GREAT VIEW! The view can make up for alot! We've visited Salty's many times, and have always had a good experience. Our most recent visit was an anomaly, so I won't hate on this review. I love sitting outside on a sunny day, sipping drinks and hanging out. They have great happy hour eats, oyster shooters, clam chowder & more, I have a few go-to's when I visit, the Coconut Prawns as an appetizer and the Blackened Steelhead Caesar. The Caesar is served with candied pecans and it's lots of YUM! My most recent visit was to celebrate a birthday, and for alot of reasons, it took us hours to get through our meal. I still enjoyed our meal & the view is phenomenal.

    We came to celebrate my mother's birthday, which I told them about when making the reservation for Sunday brunch. Even though we had reservations we still had to wait 30 minutes. Our server, Blake, was unfriendly and inattentive. Never once did he smile. I had to ask for our plates to be cleared numerous times, had to ask for more water and even refilled the waters myself. Ordered a crepe with the busser because Blake did not come by our table. It took a really long time and had to ask about the crepe. When it finally arrived it was slimy and terrible. When we left there was no "thank you". Do yourself a favor and skip this restaurant.

    I rate this 5 stars solely because we had such a great experience with our server Brad! He made the experience super enjoyable! He had a delightful personality, very funny and patient (I happen to be very indecisive and confused) I would 10000% recommend dining with him, he is a delight! I would honestly come back just to dine with him again. We went here for mid-week brunch, just had a whole bottle of wine and some cute appetizers. They were pretty delicious. We ordered 1 lb of Manila Clams, The Salty's Trio, and the Crab Mac & Cheese. The Manila Clams were good, they weren't the best but they didn't disappoint. The Saltys trio was a nice sized platter of coconut crushed shrimp, calamari, and crab cake. The crab cake was really good! All the sauces were also complimentary! The mac & cheese was more of an alfredo? They used penne noodles and the sauce was more alfredo than mac & cheese. Despite the specifics, it was soooo good! Overall, loved the experience.

    If you're a fan of buffet style brunch, don't miss this one! You'll find all of your favorites, including excellent bacon, ham, biscuits & sausage gravy, mini waffles, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, etc., you can also order crepes and omelettes from the menu, but the star of the show is the crab table! Mountains of fresh local dungeness and snow crab legs, oysters on the half shell, peel & eat shrimp and ceviche. If you've got room for dessert, (and why wouldn't you), you'll love the chocolate fountain, fresh creme brûlée and other a plethora other delectables. You can't beat the setting, literally on the water, with an unbelievable view of the Sound, Vashon Island and the Olympics. The service was spot on, too. Our server did an amazing job, making sure we had everything we needed, including some damned good mimosas and bloody marys. Really everyone we encountered seemed to have a passion for customer service. For $45/pp, I'd expect nothing less, but they exceeded my expectations.

    Me and Lando got a gift certificate for Salty's for Christmas and decided to finally try the brunch buffet with it and we were not disappointed! From the service to the overflowing buffet this is definitely worth the $30 all you can eat brunch on Saturday and Sundays! All the different seafood inspired breakfast items were really refreshing and very good! Basically saying I didn't try anything I didn't like ! We are going back very soon and taking our parents! Hope to see you there!

    We drove on out to the Des Moines location as closest to our home. I really wanted those oyster…read moreshooters being advertised on Facebook. The dining area and bar was packed but found some spots and hob-nobbed with locals at the bar. Got a drink, oysters for wife and some shooters. The oysters in the shooter were as pictured, plump, tasty with some cocktail sauce - loved them. Was thinking of another round when found wife wasn't so happy with the sad dozen micro-oysters she was serviced. Somehow, I realized the second level resturant was serving better oysters similiar to what was being used in the oyster shooter and we relocated to top level of the resturant. What a difference, different menu, was a fine dining experience - just what we needed so stepped up to the next level. Another dozen oysters, a few more oyster shooters, another round of cocktails, watched the beautiful sunset, fantastic service from the staff, we were totally relaxed and amazingly happy. Definitely will be back and promised my wife 2-3 dozen oysters the next time.

    I came here with my family after someone mentioned about the three course for 35 deal…read more For me, I chose the sole almondine, chowder, and I forgot the dessert. The chowder was ok, my preference is usually something a bit thicker. The entree looked like it was defrosted and cooked in the microwave. The flavors were stale and watered down a lot. The shrimp came from another dish that someone at my table couldn't eat, but those shrimps looked so sad. The service was fine and they did their jobs - they were attentive and always served us with great hospitality. Again, I did not expect much from a course meal for that price but I probably wouldn't have it again.
