My first time here, hubby and I celebrated our 20 year anniversary here and it was amazing! The service was top notch they made us feel so special for our anniversary. I cannot remember his name but our waiter was awesome, it was an "at your service" type of atmosphere. He did a wonderful job. I asked for a window seat for the view when I made reservations and they accommodated with no issue. The food was excellent, I had the Best Friends (seared scallops with pork belly and a pomegranate balsamic drizzle that was so dang good) and of course some crab legs! My husband had the crab mac and cheese and no doubt I had to try a bite it was fantastic. We had oysters that were so fresh and delicious, the calamari and clam chowder...all soooo good!! Dessert was complimentary for our special occas

I went to Salty's for my birthday lunch and everything was perfect. The service was great, the view of the water was calming and the food was amazing. Everyone always says they have the best clam chowder, but this place actually has THE BEST clam chowder.

The only thing that rivaled the amazing food and drinks was the exceptional top tier service from Matt. The views and the atmosphere are a cherry on top. They also make celebrating a life event impeccable from cute table decor and card to an extra dessert. We went all out and regret nothing (except being so full the dessert had to come home for tomorrow). We ordered: Spiced Apple Old Fashioned - hearty and reminiscent of a warming hot toddy. Huckleberry Lemon Drop - sweet and divine. Oysters on half shell - the raspberry mignonette was fabulous. Burrata Bruschetta - read the menu description, the colors, textures and flavors overlapped deliciously. Seafood chowder - we came here for this, it did not disappoint, always order the chowder. Parmesan Herb crusted albacore tuna - absolutely cann

Sunday Brunch at Salty’s on the Columbia Treated my wife to Sunday Brunch as a Christmas gift. She loves fish, and this felt like the right kind of “occasion” meal. We arrived around 10:30am; non-valet parking was limited but manageable with some patience. Despite not having a reservation and being just the two of us, we were seated quickly. We were initially placed upstairs, which has nice views, but once we realized all buffet stations were on the first floor, we asked about moving. We ended up with a first-floor corner table by the windows, overlooking the Columbia River — easily the best seating choice. If window seating on the main floor matters to you, reservations are the safer bet. The restaurant stood out immediately for cleanliness, including buffet lines and high-traffic areas.
