My husband & I have "done" Salty's for Thanksgiving & Xmas/Chanukah for the past 2 years. We like it very much. The only bummer is that you can't reserve a window seat. Oh well. Enjoy! Cheers!

Thanksgiving at Salty's?

The size of the menu is impressive. Unfortunately, that's the only thing positive I can say. I think that Salty's may be *THE* most over-priced restaurant in the city. The last time I went there was last december for my partner's Christmas party...They had the gall to ask $45 for a whole dungeness crab. The $30-$45 steaks are usually improperly cooked -- they don't seem to understand the meaning of rare. Wine list is pure shit. I once had Ahi that was supposed to be "rare". Instead, it was served well-done but cold....go figure. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that I've never found anything to be even remarkable and at their prices, I think it's an outrage. I wonder what local food critics have to say ? I've now been there for a host of reasons more than a dozen times -- mostly on other peoples nickel -- and the only thing I look forward to is being able to get sloshed with the awesome view. As my partner -- who is not a foodie -- once said "Salty's is okay if you go expecting nothing to taste particularly good and don't have to pay -- at least the view rocks".
